Losers: The Club

In another example of how not to use legends, DX and nWo members Kevin Nash and Scott Hall came out to help Seth Rollins against AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson.

If this was meant to tease a renewal of the rivalry between Rollins and the now-heel Styles, we can say that WWE is headed in the right direction, but this was poor execution. The old-timers again got one over on full-time performers and while this was far from the toxic brew we've often seen, it shows how reliant WWE is on bringing legends from the past back instead of building new people.

Hopefully, this will just be a minor hiccup.


Winner: Bray Wyatt

THIS is how you use legends.

This was surprising, sudden, and left an immediate impact. Bray Wyatt taking down a beloved Hall of Famer like Mick Foley from out of nowhere with his own move adds to his legitimacy and makes this new fiend gimmick more menacing.

It was a nice interruption of an otherwise monotonic Raw. Let's hope they keep this act up with Bray Wyatt. They have something here.
