Best and worst of RAW: 16th October, 2017

#2 Worst: Not horrific at all

There's a thin line between comedy and horror, really!

Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt should have had an absolutely splendid program with each other, considering how similar both their gimmicks are. Sadly Balor's new get-up and Wyatt's new gimmick are doing both men no favours at all.

What an intimidating sight it was to see Kane stand tall in his demonic get-up, at the conclusion of RAW. On the other hand, Balor's new facepaint takes away from the aura of his original gimmick, and if anything, dilutes the same heavily.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

As cool as Wyatt embodying the spirit of his deceased sister is, it is near impossible to pull off a gimmick of that nature in a crowd of trolls, like the WWE Universe is these days.
