10 Mistakes WWE Made On Raw This Week (6 May 2019)

#10 Smackdown Live Main Events Raw

Does this make sense?

Vince McMahon's brilliant idea of having Smackdown Live superstars appear on Raw and vice versa came with a lot of criticism from the corners of the internet, and while many have given McMahon's system a chance to play out, the one thing that has given fans a proper indicator of why the Wildcard Rule is a mess in storytelling was the main event of Raw.

Now, the main event of Kofi Kingston vs the returning Daniel Bryan was possibly the best thing Raw produced all night, but when you look at the implications of such a booking strategy you get a clearer picture. This indication saw Smackdown Live superstars basically take the top spot on Raw with just two weeks before the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

Instead of building up the Money in the Bank ladder match, or having the very underbooked Universal Title programme take the limelight, we got another rematch for the WWE Championship which in all honesty belonged on Smackdown Live.

Even though this wildcard rule is seemingly the answer to the rating mess WWE has created over the last few months, by giving the blue brand's narratives preference over the superstars on Raw, it just shows that WWE keeps on making mistakes along the way.

Therefore, here's to hoping we don't see Kevin Owens quest for the WWE Title take a backseat, Andrade sit on the bench and Ali left off the show because WWE wants the Wild Card Rule to give Raw stars airtime.
