Backstage Creative News on Why Shane Is Running Raw Tonight

According to F4WOnline.com, plans were in place prior to Raw last week to have Shane McMahon run Raw again tonight, with the story line being that ratings were through the roof for the post-Mania Raw, so Shane is in charge again this week. Because ratings for Raw last week ended up being nothing special, WWE went with the story line explanation that Shane received tons of social media support from fans this week, so Vince decided to allow him to run Raw again tonight.
