5 things that should not have happened on the Raw before Super Showdown 2019 

#2 A Segment That Does More Damage Than Benefit

A contest that no one asked for

What's the first thing you think about when looking two behemoths seething, anticipating and fuming to break each other in half? Well, most of us are not even thinking about the fine details, we just want to see these men fight. In WWE's minds, all they see is a potential arm wrestling contest between two giants that will send ratings through the roof.

Jokes aside, this was just terrible, and while that might seem harsh, as it is just some good old fashioned fun we have seen before in the WWE, the reality is that the entire arm wrestling thing was last over when Triple H and Scott Steiner challenged each other in 2003. Braun and Bobby are two of the most intimidating guys in the company, and it's a shame that WWE can't find a way to use them which will avoid moments like this.

#1 Another Bait-and-Switch Tactic

A great segment that ultimately failed

Brock Lesnar arrived on Raw this week for the third time in a row to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. Paul Heyman made it quite clear on Twitter that Lesnar was ready to destroy Seth Rollins and take his Universal Championship during the broadcast. So, did we see that happen?

Well, only one part of Heyman's promise was kept, as Lesnar destroyed Rollins in a beating not seen on WWE TV in a long time, it was so bad that Rollins was stretchered out of the building and taken away in an ambulance. While that was all great television, what about the cash in?

It was on everyone's mind that WWE was not going to let Lesnar cash in his contract so early, as that wouldn't be any fun, but by them consistently having the man tease cash-ins that are never going to happen, it puts many fans off the idea of a cash-in at all. This classic bait-and-switch booking WWE is hell-bent on producing is really just turning fans away.

There are so many creative ways WWE could have stopped Lesnar form cashing in his contract, as one of those ways could have been Matt Riddle getting his wish by meeting Lesnar in the centre of the ring. At the end of the day, this is just my opinion, and hopefully, WWE knows what they are doing, as we don't want another failed cash in for the third year in a row.
