#2 WWE got wrong: Not kicking-off Monday Night RAW with the Alexa Bliss and Randy Orton segment

As great as the WWE RAW segment was between Alexa Bliss and Randy Orton this week, the company made a massive mistake by not letting that segment kick-off the show. As pointed out by Vince Russo on Sportskeeda's Legion of RAW with Dr. Chris Featherstone, WWE should have started RAW with what was the biggest talking point of TLC 2020.

"Right off the bat, you've got a format and a formula that is flawed. That was the last match, right at TLC? You've got to pick up the show from there. There is nothing more important than that. That's where you have to start the show. The fact that it was totally ignored until, I don't know how long it was, an hour or two hours in or whatever it was. That right there just tells you guys, come on, man, get it together, bro."
"If people tune in to see that and they are getting Charlotte Flair and Asuka and all this up top, people are going to say, sc*** it, they are not going to sit around for an hour and a half and two hours. They are not going to do it."

WWE RAW got a better viewership rating than what they did the week prior, but the Red brand needs to step up a lot to match with the level of SmackDown.
