Since SmackDown moved to FOX in October 2019, the quality of the programming has been up and down. The February 7th show was all over the place shifting focus between about 10 different stories. The continuity of Monday Night Raw with Paul Heyman in charge has probably been the best incarnation of Raw since the Attitude Era.
Every segment on the show over the past few months has felt very meaningful, and Heyman has done a very nice job of pivoting within storylines. The stories resonate with the WWE universe when certain superstars have suffered unexpected injuries. Maybe all he needed was for Brock Lesnar to come to Raw so Paul could gain a little more star power to work with and not have to divert his attention from Monday Nights.
