#2 The absence of Alexa Bliss after teasing a massive storyline

A couple of weeks ago on RAW, WWE teased a massive storyline as Randy Orton claimed that he thinks the weakness of The Fiend is Alexa Bliss, with The Fiend himself looking vulnerable in that segment. Yet, for the last two weeks, Bliss hasn't been on RAW. While there is a genuine reason for her absence as she is busy filming for a new show, it still doesn't make up for the fact that WWE teased such a huge angle, only to have no follow-ups.

As amazing as it was to watch The Fiend appear from within the burning box on RAW this week, it was quite predictable. A very interesting alternative segment suggested by Alan Jose John in the Sportskeeda writer's chat was that Randy Orton could've kidnapped Alexa Bliss and held her hostage to continue his mind games with Bray Wyatt. Or Alexa Bliss could have just appeared on that rocking chair in the dark for a split second.


#1 What are the plans for RETRIBUTION on RAW?

The idea of a faction like RETRIBUTION had everyone interested in the beginning, but the booking of the faction on RAW has failed to impress the WWE Universe. After teasing internal friction between the group last week, RETRIBUTION again beat-up Ricochet on RAW this week.

After massive claims of taking over WWE, the faction surprisingly shows no signs of doing something big. Ricochet might end up joining them in the weeks to come but that's not something that would capture the attention of the fans. Unfortunately, the plans for RETRIBUTION on RAW seem pretty undefined.
