#2. Having Nikki A.S.H cash in on an injured wrestler who had just been attacked on WWE Monday Night RAW

I'm as happy as the next guy that Nikki A.S.H. is RAW Women's Champion, but I must admit it felt wrong that the positive superhero character of Nikki A.S.H cashed in on Charlotte Flair after The Queen had been through a match and then a post-match attack.

It's sort of okay because Charlotte is a heel, but taking advantage of anyone, bad guy or not, to win a title just doesn't feel like something that someone who is almost a superhero would do.

That being said, on reflection this might be more of a minor quibble than a major mistake WWE has made. But they really need to start coming up with fresh ways people can cash-in the MITB briefcase!


#1. Karrion Kross losing on his WWE Monday Night RAW debut to Jeff Hardy

Regardless of how you feel about Karrion Kross as an individual performer and whether you rate him or not, there's no question that the decision to have him lose to Jeff Hardy on RAW was problematic on so many levels.

It's completely taken the wind out of Kross as a character. Sure, there's an argument that WWE is telling the story that he needs Scarlett to be unbeatable, but it's still not great to have your unbeaten champ lose in such an underwhelming fashion.

The timing of the loss is also a nightmare for NXT's biggest storyline, which is the developing animosity between NXT Special Enforcer Samoa Joe and Karrion Kross. Not to mention how the likes of Johnny Gargano, Keith Lee and Finn Balor have all put Kross over massively, and now look slightly silly.

Then you add the fact that the loss came to Jeff Hardy of all people, with the once great WWE Superstar's last match on RAW being a singles loss to Jinder Mahal's henchman Veer.
