4 Things Triple H Got Right on WWE RAW Tonight

The latest episode of RAW emanated from Hershey, Pennsylvania, featuring several big matches and segments. However, the air was filled with melancholy as fans were still processing the emotional fallout of John Cena's retirement. With everything going on, the company made sure to deliver a great show that could stir fans' excitement towards the product.

Triple H has been on the fans' radar lately due to the degrading quality of the shows and the lack of substantial content. Amid the wave of criticisms and backlash, The Game has managed to give fans an exciting show this week. Whether it was revealing the identity of the masked man or building a duo strong, the creative team made some good decisions.

Let's take a look at four things Triple H got right on WWE RAW:

#4. The Kabuki Warriors making a statement

Asuka and Kairi Sane are the current Women's Tag Team Champions in WWE. Despite that, they were struggling to stand out in the crowded women's division and were apparently lost in the shuffle. However, this week on RAW, The Kabuki Warriors made a bold statement by unleashing a brutal beatdown on Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY.

They took out the babyface duo, prompting Ripley and SKY to retreat. This was the need of the hour, as Asuka and Kairi Sane desperately needed to make a bold statement. Showcasing The Kabuki Warriors' dominance on the show was a great decision and was the perfect way for them to regain their lost momentum ahead of their upcoming title defense.

#3. Gunther opening Monday Night RAW

Gunther became the most hated person among the WWE Universe after retiring John Cena at Saturday Night's Main Event. Just when fans were hardly recovering from the emotional turmoil of Cena's departure, The Ring General's theme song echoed in the arena as the opening act of Monday Night RAW. This added salt to fans' wounds.

The hostile crowd erupted in a chorus of boos, yet Gunther delivered a menacing promo to irk the fans more. Triple H did the right thing by letting the Austrian open the show, as it was the perfect way to capitalize on the heat and the current situation. WWE used this as an opportunity to make the 38-year-old a monstrous heel in the company.

#2. Women's World Title match ending in disqualification

This week on RAW, Raquel Rodriguez battled Stephanie Vaquer for the Women's World Championship. During the final moments of this bout, Nikki Bella showed up out of nowhere and attacked both superstars. As a result, the high-stakes title match ended in a disqualification. Staging such an outcome was indeed the right call by Triple H.

This was a match where neither Vaquer nor Rodriguez could have afforded a loss and WWE needed a way to evade this situation. Also, Nikki Bella had a score to settle with both superstars and therefore, her involvement made perfect sense. The match ending in disqualification could now lead to a three-way feud for the Women's World Championship on RAW.

#1. Revealing the mystery masked assailant on RAW

Mystery loses its mystique if it remains esoteric for long. Ever since Survivor Series, WWE has been building suspense around who the masked man could be who attacked CM Punk. Speculations and theories have been spilling out way too much, but Triple H put an end to that this week. WWE finally revealed the identity of the masked assailant.

Revealing the mystery man was the right move, as dragging it further could have eroded fans' interest in this storyline. A little mystery can spark curiosity and interest, but if it's prolonged, it can lead to disengagement. Triple H apparently understood this and hit the iron when it's hit. Now that the mystery has been unveiled, it has added a fresh excitement among fans.
