WWE workers familiar with plans had been negative on the future of the angle, but prior to this weekend, most were under the impression that Trump would remain RAW&#8217;s owner for several weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Exact details on what changed remain unknown, but WWE officials were reportedly unimpressed with the audience reaction for Donald Trump&#8217;s purchase on last week&#8217;s show.  In fact, the $235,000 ticket refund&#8211;which is not the type of announcement that garners major national media attention&#8211;was largely a move to get Trump over as a babyface in the arena.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, some have wondered why WWE made such an effort to get Trump over if he was going to be leaving the RAW ownership post in a week&#8217;s time.  It is known that much of RAW still needed to be written as of early this weekend, so there was likely internal debate about where  the angle was headed through Sunday evening.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=trump&#038;iid=5020989\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/d\/4\/1\/2\/Donald_Trump_19da.jpg?adImageId=1656779&#038;imageId=5020989\" width=\"320\" height=\"222\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"Donald Trump &#038; VInce McMahon Make WWE History\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pis.picapp.com\/IamProd\/PicAppPIS\/JavaScript\/PisV4.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>(Partial Source: F4WOnline.com)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Backstage RAW News on the Trump Storyline<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As many pro wrestling fans and critics guessed, the Donald Trump storyline on RAW was not originally scheduled to end after one week.
