5 Mistakes WWE Made On Raw This Week

#2 Losing Steam Fast

Repeat, repeat and repeat

In wrestling, there are two ways for a superstar to succeed; either that star is hated by fans or loved by millions, but if there is one thing that destroys careers faster than the infamous "shovel", it's a wrestler being viewed as boring by fans. In the ever-changing landscape of wrestling fans move on quickly from one thing to another.

This why it is concerning to witness Becky Lynch's booking over the last few weeks, as her promos have been a rehash of everything she has said in the past, and while many would argue that she is still over with the crowds, that type of buzz doesn't last forever if WWE can't maintain it.

WWE is trying to make Becky into a Connor Mcgregor type champion, as her catchphrase, mannerisms and all round demeanor have felt more like WWE forcing the champion to portray someone else instead of being herself.

Becky only rose to prominence in her fued with Charlotte Flair because the WWE Universe could feel her frustrations as we witnessed how far down the ladder she fell all the years ago, but the connection seems to be fading, and that could be a mistake the WWE.

#1 Save The Best For Last

AJ Styles can thrive anywhere, and that is a fact. So, by WWE putting him in the main event is a waste

AJ Styles is the number one contender for the Universal Title, and that is something many did not expect to happen so soon, as Styles vs Seth Rollins is a match better saved for one of WWE's biggest events like Summerslam or the Royal Rumble.

While it makes sense that fans feel this way, the real reason why this match should have been saved is due to Raw not having that many big money matches in its arsenal. Name another match big enough to carry the brand over the next year?

While there are huge stars like Samoa Joe, Bruan Strowman and Drew McIntyre in the brand to lend their star power, Styles is still Raw's biggest acquisition, as he is pushed as the biggest star that is not named Roman Reigns.

Is anyone else tired of these big money matches being built up in a matter of weeks with no real heat involved? WWE needs to go back to the days when main events were layered narratives with two red hot stars fighting for a desired title, as Styles vs Rollins at the moment does not feel like that, which is a mistake.
