5 things that shouldn't have happened on RAW

The week's RAW was absurd with very little build to the matches at Money In The Bank. While this episode left a lot to be desired, we saw No. 1 Contenders being crowned for the RAW Tag Team Titles. Elias as always made this episode of RAW entertaining but the main event came off sluggish and looked very abruptly booked.

There was very little that one could praise after this show. The show remained stagnant throughout and took many unseen turns which were still a mystery. The only highlight of the show was Braun Strowman portraying his strength by breaking a ladder set up by Bobby Roode.

Here are five bookings that shouldn't have happened in this week's episode or at least happened in a better way.

#5 Ridiculous ending to the Reigns & Rollins vs Mahal & Elias

There's no doubt that Seth Rollins is in the best shape of his life. He has been on a roll since WrestleMania 34, defending the Intercontinental Title almost every week. He has done an impeccable job of not allowing the WWE Universe miss the Universal Title.

Seth Rollins will face Elias for the IC Title at MITB in two weeks and the two squared off against each other in a tag team match. Rollins was tagging with Reigns while Elias was paired up with Mahal.

Rollins, as usual, lit the ring on fire with his impressive move set and bursts of energy. During the match, Sunil Singh was about to blindside Rollins with a steel chair but Rollins snatched the chair and ran after him. Singh led Rollins into the ring where Elias caught him and delivered a DDT to Rollins on a steel chair in plain sight of the referee.

The referee should have disqualified Elias right then but for some reason, the referee waited for Elias to hit Rollins with the Drift Away and counted to three. There is no problem with Elias picking up the win here, but the referee not disqualifying Elias or even acting like Sunil Singh was distracting him seemed ridiculous. the referee even took the chair and threw it out of the ring after the DDT.

The reaction of the referee and his carelessness is what ridiculed the entire spot. WWE has become clumsy in many decisions and this one helps in proving the sloppiness of WWE.

#4 Baron Corbin costing Curt Hawkins/Constable Corbin

In a match that saw Curt Hawkins trying to put an end to his losing streak, Baron Corbin, of all Superstars, made his way to the ring and attacked Hawkin's opponent, resulting in Hawkins losing his 200th straight match in WWE.

Many would have wanted Hawkins to finally overcome an opponent so that he could move on from the losing streak and maybe gain relevance on the roster.

In a backstage segment, Corbin conveyed Stephanie McMahon's message to Angle stating that Corbin would now be the Constable of Monday Night RAW. This meant that Corbin is now Stephanie's personal representative on the show.

Everyone can agree that Corbin has not done much since his jump to RAW over a month ago. He has been in pointless matches against No Way Jose since his debut. Corbin is the kind of guy who should be in the main event scene or at least in a relevant feud. He has the physique and move set of a wrestler that everybody loves to watch.

Firstly, him coming down to cost Hawkins the match made no sense whatsoever. Even if WWE decide to go ahead and put these two in a match next week, there are no points for guessing who would come out of it the victor. Even a feud between the two is below Corbin's caliber.

Secondly, when has Corbin even shown signs that he could be someone that Stephanie McMahon would trust to oversee Angle's decisions on RAW? This role should have been given to Owens. Ideally, Corbin and Owens should have their current roles reversed with Corbin taking part in the MITB Ladder match and Owens as Stephanie's representative.

Owens has proved himself time and again and it wouldn't hurt his credibility as a wrestler if he was made an authoritative figure just to make Angle mad. Also, Corbin is the one who is in the need of a push and competing for the MITB briefcase is exactly what could have given him relevance.

#3 Roode continues to look weak

After losing all matches since his induction into the MITB Ladder match, Bobby Roode had a gigantic opponent in Braun Strowman this week. You are obviously not a favorite when you are going head to head with The Monster Among Men, however, considering Roode's recent form with losses to Elias and Kevin Owens, one would expect The Glorious One to put up a memorable performance against Strowman.

Roode came off as a weak competitor for the MITB briefcase yet again after Strowman dominated him in their singles match tonight. Not saying that Roode had to win to prove that he should be taken seriously but a performance similar to that of Balor's two weeks ago would have gotten the crowd buzzing and behind him for his ladder match in two weeks.

#2 An unconvincing win for B Team

The B Team is the No. 1 Contender for the Tag Team Titles — The B Team is the No. 1 Contender for the RAW Tag Team Titles

In a tag team battle royal to decide the No. 1 Contenders for the RAW Tag Team Titles, B Team picked up a huge win when they outlasted teams such as Titus Worldwide, Breezango, Ascension, Slater & Rhyno and the strongest of all Ziggler & McIntyre.

When the WWE Universe saw McIntyre & Ziggler make their way to the ring, this team must have become instant favorites. But their early departure made it very clear as to which team was going to qualify.

Whether or not B Team deserves the push is an argument for another day. But the way the duo of Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel became the No. 1 Contenders for the Tag Team Titles is what makes everyone doubt their credibility.

While Rhyno was trying to make his way back into the ring, Slater accidentally hit him with Axel. Rhyno's fall to the outside of the ring resulted in his team's elimination and B Team's title shot at MITB.

The fact that B Team didn't even win the match intentionally really makes fans wonder whether they should be taken seriously when they face The Deleters Of Worlds for the Tag Team Titles. This match seems like a filler and a namesake title match. It will be surprising The Deleters Of Worlds don't win the match in less than five minutes at MITB.

#1 The Women division not imploding

The Women's division needs to put the pedal to the metal!

This week, Nia Jax took on Natalya in singles competition with Rousey joining the commentary team. During the match, Natalya injured her knee and after Jax picked up the win, Rousey made her way to the ring to help her friend out. While Rousey was checking on Natalya, Jax bumped Rousey on the back of her knee. This could have been the best time for Rousey to show Jax why she shouldn't underestimate the former Bantamweight Champion.

Instead of getting physical with the Women's Champion, Rousey told her to back off and took Natalya to the back to help her out. Even backstage, Jax showed up and was concerned about her friend, Natalya. There were so many chances for the two Superstars to go at it and WWE not capitalizing on the situation with just one more episode left before MITB is what troubles the viewers.

Even in the six-woman tag team match, Moon, Banks and Bliss teamed up to take on the Riott Squad. The fact that two faces and a heel were teamed up to take on a team of women not even present on the MITB card, one would expect Bliss to cause an implosion between the members of her team.

Instead, Bliss hurt herself and left her team high and dry before Bayley ran down the ramp to make the save, inserted herself into the match and won it for her team. While Moon, Bayley and Banks were looking to celebrate their victory, Angle was forced to reverse the referee's decision and handed the win to the Riott Squad since Bayley was not officially a part of the match.

Both Moon and Banks seemed angry with Bayley's decision to help them out and left the scene discontent. Had Bliss cause an implosion between the trio, resulting in Riott Squad picking up the win, we would have seen some hype for the Women's MITB Ladder Match. But now all we got was Moon and Banks resentful with Bayley, who again isn't even on the MITB match card.
