Early Tuesday, WWE organized a huge Monday Night Raw episode on the 30th anniversary of the show under the theme of "RawXXX."
Here are the highlights of RAWXXX:
Bloodline & Sami Zayn's Trail Makes Story on Fire
The Story of the Bloodline and Roman Reigns as the tribal chief could be one of the most successful and best-selling pro wrestling stories in the last five years.
Although the story lost a lot of its prestige and hype, the addition of Sami Zayn moved the storyline to glory once again.
The trial of Zayn was beautifully scripted and Paul Heyman presented one of his great promos, especially after the audience chanted "ECW..ECW," responding to Philadelphia's audience where ECW-based: "ECW is dead!"
The production of the videos and the facial expressions of Jey Uco and Zay were touching.
Jey defending Zayn was surprising to the whole audience as Jey was against Zayn's presence.
The latest segment questioned the future of Zayn, especially after Reigns set a final test for Zayn.
There are different options. Zayn could be one of the Royal Rumble opponents, or he could be on Reigns' side in his match against Zayn's best friend Kevin Owens.
The extension of the segment to the match of the Usos against the Judgment Day and the addition of Zayn instead of Jimmie Uso was great for the story.
