Another edition of WWE Monday Night RAW is in the history books and this week's show delivered a lot on the road to Super Showdown, the third pay per view in the decade-long deal between WWE and Saudi Arabia.

Not only was there an appearance by the Beast in the Bank, Brock Lesnar, but fans also caught a glimpse of the legendary Undertaker, who gave a chilling warning to Goldberg.

The show had plenty of positives during the broadcast, but not everything went according to plan.

Here are three things WWE got right on this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, as well as two things that could have been a whole lot better.


#3: Got it right: Firefly Fun House continues to impress

Wyatt has won himself over with the WWE Universe, but when will he wrestle again?

When Bray Wyatt debuted the Firefly Fun House on the RAW after WrestleMania 35, there was a mixed response by the crowd.

However, over the following weeks, Wyatt's new character which is more Mr. Rogers than Charles Manson has gained a massive following, as more and more people have been taken into the Fun House.

This week was no exception, as Wyatt's bizarre personality aimed itself at a new target: Mr McMahon.

Targetting the Chairman of the board is a unique tactic, and it'll be interesting to see how the McMahon family responds as speculation continues on when the new Wyatt will have an actual match in a WWE ring, something that hasn't taken place in several, several months.

Also, using a puppet of the Chairman of WWE complete with devil horns to mock him? Don't be surprised if you see this idea pop up in AEW.

#2: Got it wrong: The IIconics lose, AGAIN!

You could probably count on one hand the number of matches the IIconics have won this year.
You could probably count on one hand the number of matches the IIconics have won this year.

I'm not a superstitious person, but if I was, I'd argue that the Women's Tag Team Championships are cursed.

Look at the champions that have been afflicted so far, like Sasha Banks who still hasn't been seen on WWE TV since WrestleMania 35, where she and Bayley lost the titles to the IIconics.

The pair of Aussies haven't fared much better, losing practically every match they've been in in the two months since their big win.

This continued again this week, where Peyton Royce was defeated by Nikki Cross, who has formed some kind of alliance with a woman who knows plenty about championship gold: Alexa Bliss.

The question on everyone's mind isn't whether Bliss and Cross will become the next tag champions though, it's will The IIconics ever win a match.

#2: Got it right: Samoa Joe reigns again

Joe got what he wanted, much to the chagrin of many in the WWE Universe.

Samoa Joe had a shaky start to his time on the main roster, but has seemingly found his groove now as an upper mid-carder on Monday Night RAW.

Drafted with the United States title, Joe would lose the Star-Spangled Strap to Rey Mysterio in controversial fashion, getting pinned though with his shoulders off the mat.

Now injured, Mysterio has faced no choice but to surrender the title, and in this case, it's gone back to the previous owner, Joe himself.

Having the powerhouse regain the title under the whiniest of circumstances has definitely helped build the Samoan Submission Machine as a heel more than capable of riling up the crowd.

And the fact that Joe attacked Mysterio after being handed the title anyway, is the cherry on top.

#1: Got it wrong: Lesnar 'disrespects' Money in the Bank

As you'll no doubt know by this point, Brock Lesnar did not cash-in his Money in the Bank contract on Universal Champion Seth Rollins as advertised.

Whilst I'm not entirely opposed to this change of plans by the Beast, there is something that has happened recently, including this week, that grinds my gears.

It seems that the problem everyone in WWE, from Stephanie McMahon to the commentary team, has with Brock, is that he is disrespecting Money in the Bank.

Remember this is a contract that allowed Edge to win his first WWE Championship over a bloodied John Cena, and allowed Rollins himself to steal the WWE World Championship from Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania 31.

In short, it's hard to disrespect something that is intrinsically disrespectful.

#1: Got it right: "Goldberg. You're next!"

The Deadman is ready for a fight when he takes on Goldberg this Friday in Jeddah

Now, I know a lot of people are cynical about Super ShowDown (and for many reasons, rightly so), but this week's RAW did get me pumped for the third Saudi-pay per view in WWE's deal with KSA.

Addressing the Monday Night RAW crowd just days ahead of his singles match against Goldberg, The Undertaker kept his words short and sweet, telling the WCW icon that he's next.

Would this match probably have been better in 2003? Sure. Is there anything we can do about that? No.

Instead of complaining about what could have been, I'm pumped for the showdown in Jeddah, the first singles match between the two former World Champions ever.

If the Deadman wanted me to get excited for his next huge match, well, mission accomplished.
