WWE Raw didn't undergo any great makeover in the New Year. It's the same show, with the same pitfalls that plagued it in 2016, and the same tendency to deliver excellency in flashes. Monday's Raw was at its best when it let Braun Strowman run amok, a leviathan unleashed upon a city. It thrived when Goldberg stood on center stage and helped create intrigue heading into the Royal Rumble pay-per-view on Jan. 29. But in between those moments, there were a lot of underwhelming ones, as Tampa, Florida, hosted WWE for the night. Raw continues to struggle to showcase the cruiserweight division. It has ...

It's a new year, and that means it's Royal Rumble season. As the first pay-per-view of the year, the Rumble will set the tone for the rest of 2017. This is usually one of the most anticipated events because the winner of the annual Battle Royal will challenge the WWE or universal champion at WrestleMania. Goldberg and Brock Lesnar have already been announced for the Rumble match, Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens will clash for the universal title and John Cena will challenge AJ Styles for the WWE Championship.

The brand extension may have brought with it the opportunity for WWE to create stars out of its underutilized talent pool, but it also necessitated an overabundance of pay-per-view presentations that have threatened story flow and the oversaturation of marquee events. In scheduling monthly pay-per-views for its Raw and SmackDown Live brands, WWE has created a scenario in which burned-out fans are asked to watch even more than the five hours a week that are produced on free television.
