Honestly, the absence of Samoa Joe is really beginning to show on RAW and I can't necessarily say that I like it at all. Samoa Joe was a critical part of the storyline with Seth Rollins and without him in the mix, everything just feels very flat to me.
And the same can be said for AJ Styles as well because there's no way that The OC will be treated as anything more than enhancement talent in his absence. AJ Styles was a very critical part of the overall RAW mix, and much like his friend Samoa Joe is dearly missed on the red brand.

Let's hope that these two gentlemen return very soon because if you, reader, were to couple the absence of Andrade thanks to his wellness violation, you would have some very important Superstars missing from the picture. So, as we wait for them to get back on their feet and get back to full health soon, be sure to check out the video I've linked on top.
And also, this picture of The Goddess, Alexa Bliss.
