RAW featuring a two-hour Gauntlet Match meant that we got one of the most wrestling heavy editions of the show in quite some time and while you might think that we have Triple H to thank for that, the truth is that it was all Vince McMahon's idea! It paid off too as it resulted in huge ratings and glowing reviews for the show, while also establishing Seth Rollins as the brand's true MVP. 

McMahon's decision to put such a lengthy bout on RAW took many inside the company by surprise because he's a fan of putting storylines ahead of 
in-ring action and the hope now is that this will lead to that now becoming the focus rather than lengthy promos and short (and forgettable) matches. 

Regardless, there's no way WWE can ignore what a hit the Gauntlet Match was and it's interesting to wonder if he also decided to have Roman Reigns lose to Rollins despite the fact he's the hot favourite to main event WrestleMania in a match against Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. What did you guys think of RAW's Gauntlet Match? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts below.
