So many things could have been better.

#2 Wandering Tag Team Division

This is funny but shouldn't be used as a plot point to start a feud.

This week on Monday Night Raw, we witnessed the building blocks for a feud many WWE fans wanted to see for a very long time, The Usos vs The Revival. This is a programme that many fantasized about years ago, and some even pegged it as this era's potential tag team classic.

Now, there is no problem with dreaming about the best in tag team wrestling crafting a classic in the ring, the problem is expecting a dream match build on Raw, as the best WWE had to offer us was The Usos picking on The Revival for shaving one another's back.

On the flip side of things we witnessed The Viking Raiders(if that's their final name) squash the talented but underutilized Lucha House Party like some local jobbers, while the beatdown was fun to watch, it had no real purpose. Finally, it was Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder's time to shine, as they took on an already fuming Revival, however, it was no surprise when the champions got a lucky win over the top guys in a predictable fashion.

So, what was the endgame on Raw this week for tag team wrestling? That's the thing here, there is no point to any of this, as we saw men start a feud over back shaving, we witnessed the Raw Tag Team Champions pick up another roll-up victory, and we saw The Usos beat the very mismanaged Good Brothers, where can WWE tag team wrestling go from here?

All the WWE Universe wants is great narratives with wrestlers they can care about, as tag team wrestling is a novelty in pro wrestling, but on Raw, it's a novelty we just can't enjoy.


#3 Thrown In The Mix

Big and forgettable.
Big and forgettable.

If you think Braun Strowman has a chance to win the Money in the Bank briefcase then please list the reasons why he could in the comment section down below, because anyone with a sixth sense for WWE's booking knows that Strowman is only in this match to act as a set piece.

Break some ladders, throw people off ladders, and get put through a ladder, that is Strowman's three main motives in this match, as he is nothing more than a spectacle in this bout, and while it's good to be the centerpiece of a match of this standard, it really does nothing for your career.

Moreover, in Strowman's case, it's even worse, as he so dearly needs rebuilding more than anything else, and by WWE consistently giving him the wrong end of the booking stick, just makes his situation worse.

Many actually expected Strowman to go one on one with Samoa Joe at the event, as that would be a better step in getting his career on the right path, but by being thrown in the mix with no chance of actually winning this match will see the big man set back by another month waiting for his chance to regain his 2017 form.
