4 Things WWE should have done better on RAW Reunion

This week's episode of WWE RAW featured the much-hyped RAW Reunion. Over 30 WWE legends showed up during the course of 3 hours. Overall, the show was quite enjoyable although it definitely left us wanting a little bit more.

We felt that WWE could have done a better job in some aspects to make the show a little more memorable. There are a number of things WWE could have done differently and here are 5 things we feel would have made for a better show.

#4. The way John Cena was used

John Cena surprised fans by opening the show last night. However, the segment didn't really lead to much. The Usos and Rikishi joined Cena in the ring until they were interrupted by The Revival, and for some reason....D-Von Dudley.

This led to The Usos vs. The Revival, with the tease of Cena wrestling remaining just that, a brief tease.

WWE could have used Cena in a much better way if he didn't get involved in the feud between The Usos and The Revival. An interaction with Vince McMahon or even a short match would have been much better.

#3. Overly relying on nostalgia

Yes, I know the RAW reunion was an episode totally built around the nostalgia of legends making their return, WWE relied on nostalgia a little bit too much. One example of a segment that seemed a little lazily booked was the segment involving DX and The OC (Styles, Gallows and Anderson) was pretty similar to the one from RAW's 25th anniversary.

It ended with Styles and The OC having to back off while Rollins stood tall in the ring with DX and the Kliq, similar to Balor, Gallows and Anderson at RAW's 25th Anniversary.

One segment where WWE did a fantastic job with the legends was the segment where Bray Wyatt took out Mick Foley.

#2. No buildup in current storylines

There was hardly any buildup in any of the ongoing storylines with most of the focus going to the returning legends. Samoa Joe got beaten clean by Roman Reigns for some reason, halting his momentum, while all Braun Strowman got was a short squash match.

The Rollins-Styles match and segment was good but it was not the beginning of a rivalry since WWE have other plans for both men at SummerSlam.

#1. Most of the legends segments were forgettable

A lot of the legends segments on RAW were quite forgettable, other than Stone Cold Steve Austin's brilliant promo which closed off the show. Some of the 24/7 title segments with legends backstage were pretty good but a couple, including the Melina and Alundra Blayze segment, were not great.

There was also the segment where Sgt. Slaughter, The Hurricane, RVD and Kurt Angle came out during the Mysterio vs. Zayn match. All they did was come out and stand there for the rest of the match.

There was no segment that will be spoken about by fans years later like The Rock's return at RAW 1000.
