This may be an unpopular opinion...

But I think its time for the Raw after Mania to become a best of show. Now last nights Raw was very lackluster, but even if they had knocked it out of the park I think the crowd would have been mostly the same.

It's safe to assume that the fans last night were people who have been to all of WWE's events over the weekend, and probably some of the shows from other companies, and by Raw they were just burned out, and whether the show was good or bad it felt like the people there were like lets get this over with, we want to go home.

So if WWE were to just run a best of show Monday, and then start the "new year" on Friday with a completely fresh crowd then things have a much better chance of having a much more enthusiastic crowd. I don't expect this to ever happen, but its my opinion. Thoughts?

Unfortunately it never will, since Raw After WMs are still so popular. Whether the show is good, bad or ugly, that particular Raw every year gets all the eyeballs and chatter & we all know how much WWE loves all that stuff.

Just on a sheer rating level they'd be pretty insane to do that, it's always one of the biggest drawing shows of the year.

That said they should really start being assed to actually try with these shows again instead of the aggressive phoning in they've done the last few years.

I think since two night Manias started (and maybe even the 2019’edition I can’t recall), they haven’t been stacking the shows with returns and debuts anymore like they used to.
