Apr 10, 2018 at 3:17 PM
Going by the WWE traditions, it is evident to see major surprises during the post-Wrestlemania episode of WWE Raw.
This is the night where an audience gathers to enjoy the show from all around the world. To give the international crowd a packed show, returns and debuts are the musts on this particular night. So, there were five such moments during the show hosted from New Orleans.
The first one of the night came when Nia Jax needed a tag team partner while Alexa Bliss and Mickie James decided to gang up on her.
Instead, a tag team match was organized when Ember Moon from the NXT roster showed up for the occasion. Not only she made her debut but also picked up the win on behalf of her team by pinning Alexa Bliss.

It gave her major spotlight on her first night on WWE Raw. On this past Saturday night, Ember Moon was defeated by Shayna Baszler to lose her NXT Women’s Championship.
Once this happened, it was almost certain this debut was happening. Hopefully, Moon would be a good replacement for a player like Paige who officially retired last night.

There were two more such debuts from the NXT roster in the form of Now Way Jose and Authors of Pain. Jose defeated a local talent to have a short match against him. He is expected to reserve a spot in the mid-card title picture.
Also, the AOP’s debut was evident ever since they lost their tag team championships on NXT. It finally came on the post-Mania edition of WWE Raw defeating the team of Heath Slater and Rhyno. This debut would make the tag team division enriched, even more.

The speculations were always there regarding Bobby Lashley returning to WWE Raw, once again.
This became a reality after he confronted Elias in a segment and put him down. This behemoth can be a huge inclusion to the main event picture. Also, Jeff Hardy was cleared for wrestling capacity. So, it was a perfect place for him to come back onboard following the biggest event of the night.
#TheBigDog @WWERomanReigns knows that as long as he keeps getting matches against @BrockLesnar, he WILL become the next #UniversalChampion…

Lastly, Samoa Joe had also recovered from his ankle injury just before Wrestlemania. It was good to see him getting back on WWE Raw confronting none other than the franchise player of the company reigniting a feud.
Last time around, it was cut short due to injuries and Roman’s Wrestlemania push. It should be booked now to make the crowd, delighted.
