5 botches and outrageous moments from WWE Raw (January 15, 2018)

#4 Stephanie who?

Before pointing out the silliness that is the outcome of Braun's actions on Raw, here's a slight mispronunciation from Kurt Angle. He was trying to save Michael Cole by announcing the good news for Strowman that Commissioner Stephanie McMahon called to announce his rehiring. He somehow inserted an 'r' into her last name. It was a pretty intense moment, so we're only slightly nodding in disapproval for this offence.

More importantly, what lesson is being taught here? Braun was fired at the start of the show for creating an unsafe work environment then went on a tear throughout the backstage that may have cost the company millions and endangered the lives of many non-wrestlers. Surely there will be many lawsuits for his actions, right? He deserved to be arrested, even if no law enforcement agency on the planet has that kind of capabilities. To calm this behemoth, the solution was instead to restore his employment as well as his upcoming title match at the Royal Rumble.

So the lesson here is if you don't get what you want, break everything and harm everyone to get what you want. Got it, WWE.
