WWE was on the 'RHODE' to WrestleMania, as this week's RAW took place in Providence and provided plenty of action heading toward The Show of Shows in Hollywood
The latest edition of Monday Night RAW was presented LIVE from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island, as we continue on The Road to WrestleMania. With their marquee event about to take place in Tinsel Town, the promotion wanted to release an Oscar-worthy effort this week.
WWE has been striking gold with most of its programming recently, and this one was no exception. Of course, the primary topic on everyone's mind right now is what will happen when Cody Rhodes finally steps through the ropes to face Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns on Night 2. Most fans and observers believe that it's The American Nightmare's destiny to capture the gold and fulfill the dreams of his father.
In the meantime, the rest of the card is really starting to take shape as we get closer and closer to that magical time in April. It's the flipping of the WWE calendar, and you can sense that everyone involved knows what a strong year the company is coming off of. Improved ratings, excitement, steadily-rising stock prices, and an imminent sale have all been dominant stories regarding World Wrestling Entertainment. But the TV product may be the biggest headline of all. After years of stagnant booking, Triple H has sent a charge through the promotion.
With all that momentum, it's not surprising that this week's show delivered the goods in terms of getting us to where we need to go. Let's take a ride down the Road to WrestleMania, and take a closer look at five big things that really stood out about the latest episode of Monday Night RAW.
