5 things that shouldn't have happened on RAW

This was RAW's last attempt to create hype for the upcoming cobranded PPV, Money In The Bank. The show gave us very little reason to get excited for any other match other than the MITB Ladder matches.

The only highs of the show were the fatal four-way matches consisting of the MITB ladder match contestants and a solid segment by Elias that was interrupted by Seth Rollins. Ever since Backlash, it wouldn't be wrong to say that only these components have made RAW worth watching and to an extent, the rise of the B Team can be added to the list.

Overall, it was a very poor showing by the red brand to try and get us excited for the matches that will be taking place in less than a week's time. Even though the show was underwhelming, these five things could have been avoided or could have happened differently.

#5 No major role for Constable Corbin to play

Last week Baron Corbin announced that he'll be Stephanie McMahon's representative on RAW to keep a check on Angle, it felt like WWE had plans of them crossing paths and arguing on decisions.

This week, Corbin had almost zero input towards the show. He interrupted the General Manager of RAW to repeat what the constable's role is and just restated the fact that Stephanie would be unhappy if both MITB briefcases didn't make their way to the Monday night shows.

Corbin thus far was a solid contender for any title in the WWE. It just may be lazy booking or the fact that Lesnar doesn't appear on RAW that has made Corbin lose out on many opportunities to actually go after a title.

Whatever may be the reason, we hope that either the Constable Corbin character gets more TV time and plays the role of a heel to perfection or the entire idea is dropped and he is made to do what he is best at and that is, compete in the ring.

This aside, we really think the bald look suits The Lone Wolf. What say?

#4 The opening segment

When you look at that image you have no other option than to be excited about this segment. It was awesome to see all competitors in the ring at the same time on ladders. This was done back in 2016, by the way, and that segment was much better than this one.

This entire segment had nothing new to offer and once everyone started talking, the lines came across more scripted than ever. All the competitors just went about saying how they're going to be the ones winning the briefcase and cashing in on Lesnar. Not even Kevin Owens' brilliant mic skills could save this one.

Having Owens there as the only heel, WWE could have booked Owens to throw the mic on Strowman's face, in turn, infuriating The Monster Among Men and in turn causing chaos. This would have even given Alexa Bliss an opportunity to act as if she were injured again and blindsided the women in the fatal four-way match up.

In retrospect, this segment could have easily been skipped and RAW could have kicked off with the Women's fatal four-way match which was worth watching.

#3 Bayley losing

Ever since her potential rivalry with Sasha Banks has subsided, Bayley has lost every opportunity she has got. She lost the MITB qualifying matches twice and also was rooted as the cause for Banks and Moon's team's loss last week.

Bayley has really lost her path and she is a Superstar who needs to be revived as early as possible. She seems to be coming off at the losing end whenever she faces the Riott Squad. Not that Ruby Riott doesn't deserve to win, but Bayley could be made to pick up a win against any other member of the Riott Squad.

If this feud continues, more women such as Ember Moon and Mickie James should be added to team up with Bayley to even the playing field. Ruby Riott should be the one coming out of it the victor, but not at the expense of Bayley's reputation.

#2 Lashley's obstacle course run

The only reason we can be excited about this match on Sunday is that after the match ends, we will not be forced to watch these pointless promos or segments. All of us can agree that this feud between Zayn and Lashley has failed to capture the interest of the fans. The attempts that WWE has made to make this feud interesting is just appalling.

This could have been counted as one of the better segments that this feud has seen. Nobody has any doubt about Lashley's physical strength. This obstacle course just made us all firm believers that Lashley is going to annihilate Zayn on Sunday.

This entire segment went about without a single cheer or any shred of excitement. This just goes to show how disinterested the crowd is about this feud. It would have been better if Lashley was out there with a determined and angry look and cut a promo alone in the ring about how he is going to give Zayn the beating of his life.

Lashley cutting a promo without a smile and as a man with a mission would show the crowd that he is done playing games with Zami and that this is all going to end on Sunday.

#1 Portrayal of the weak tag team division

There are literally no legitimate contenders!

After what was more or less a squash match between the team of McIntyre and Ziggler vs Breezango, Ziggler and McIntyre cut a promo about how their loss in the tag team battle royal last week was a fluke.

During the promo, they pointed out the teams they will be dominating on their way to the top. Names such as Titus Worldwide and B Team made the list. While the sound of a match between these two and the current Tag Team Champions seems interesting, there is no other match that one can look forward to in the RAW tag team division.

Where are the Authors Of Pain? WWE need to really pull up their socks and push these jobber teams in a credible way that allows people to believe that they can actually beat this unstoppable pair.
