#4 Sheamus plays spoilsport in the main event of WWE RAW between Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton

In the main event of this week's WWE RAW, Drew McIntyre squared off against his old foe Randy Orton. Though they have wrestled countless times before this, they share great chemistry in the ring, and as a result, even this week's bout was quite fun.

However, Sheamus played spoilsport during the match by interfering and ending the bout in a no-contest. While it makes sense in this context to not let either of the two lose the match, the main event match should never end on a disqualification. Promoting a clash all through the weekend only to end the proceedings on such a note is highly underwhelming.

Moving on, it was surprising to see Alexa Bliss not make an appearance on this week's WWE RAW. Her involvement in Orton's segments over the last month has been quite entertaining and has successfully intrigued viewers. Perhaps the creative is putting the rivalry on hold until The Viper gets done with the Elimination Chamber match. On the other hand, The Fiend appearing at the pay-per-view to cost The Viper the match seems like a possibility.
