Best And Worst Of RAW- 15th October, 2018

#2 Worst: The American Cup

It's becoming a running joke at this point, quite honestly!

I know that I complain about this every single week, but it's such a glaring error that I feel that I must. In a company that employs superstars from all around the world, it is hilarious to see that everyone who's qualified for the WWE World Cup is an American. I am almost convinced that WWE is playing a joke on us and having a laugh at our expense.

I wouldn't have had a problem if the tournament was known as something else. But when you say 'World Cup', it signifies superstars from different nationalities. And imagine superstars like Finn Balor and Jinder Mahal sitting on the sidelines, while 6 Americans compete in the said 'World Cup'.

Does WWE know they have to have more than Americans for this "World" cup tourny lmao #RAW

Even if Rey Mysterio of Shinsuke Nakamura qualify, it won't rectify the situation, I think. If it's a joke, it's a pretty lame one.
