WWE 2017 recap: 10 bad things and 12 good ones

Good: the summer of hosses

Brock Lesnar's absentee title reign and the glass ceiling it's put over RAW has been a big problem, but it's also had its upsides. From June to September, RAW had the best main event scene it's had in years.

The feud between Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe gave RAW an adrenaline shot that made it must-see TV. That feud would eventually merge with the ongoing Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman feud for a clash of the titans at SummerSlam, leaving Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman to deal with each other in the fallout.

Devoid of silly angles and overbooked nonsense the summer months on the red brand were an old-school throwback. It was all about four monsters trying to kill each other and every second of it was glorious (until No Mercy, that is).
