Best and Worst of RAW: 7 May, 2018

#3 Best: Continuity in storyline

Owens no-showing during the main event was a great touch

WWE's storytelling is often weak and confused and therefore, when they do manage to maintain a sense of continuity, they must be commended. I particularly liked the fact that despite Zayn's insistence, Kevin Owens did not show up to support him during the main event. This should play out in a big way, over the coming weeks. At least, I hope so.

I also liked how Mahal figured into the scheme of things. He won a match that should have guaranteed him a spot in the main event, but that did not transpire, causing him to go after Reigns. One of my colleagues had his reservations about Jinder, and he raises a valid point:

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

So Jinder is being booked against Reigns with the hope that he helps Reigns get cheered. He will get booed anyway.#WWE #RAW
