5 takeaways from this week's Monday Night RAW: 11th December 2017

#2 Good Matches. Bad Storylines.

A great match. But what next? Where does this rivalry go?

The Shield faced off against the Bar and Samoa Joe in singles matchups on RAW, and considering the quality of the talent involved, it's hardly a surprise that all three matchups were interesting.

Cesaro vs Reigns might have been one of the best matches on weekly television of 2017, and Joe faced off against Ambrose in a first-time ever matchup, also producing a great encounter.

However, the feud between these two teams is an exact replica of the Miz-Bar feud a few weeks ago. Instead of Miz, we have Joe leading the charge and wrecking some havoc.

There are six weeks left for the next pay-per-view featuring RAW superstars and hence the limited progression of the storylines is hardly surprising. WWE needs to make sure that the Shield finds the right opponents instead of facing a Sheamus-Cesaro unit led by a new leader every week!
