#3. Reason behind Karrion Kross' weak booking on RAW

The NXT Champion Karrion Kross made his RAW debut a few weeks back. To the shock of many fans, Kross lost his first match on RAW to Jeff Hardy in underwhelming fashion. After gaining a win over Keith Lee last week, Kross lost to The Limitless One on RAW this week.

As per Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men podcast, the initial idea was to have Kross undergo a losing streak before his partner Scarlett joined him on RAW and the two became a major force together:

''The plan was that Karrion Kross keeps losing until Scarlett shows up and that’s gonna bring him back on track because she is able to unleash the warrior, whatever they’re calling him, the gladiator in him,” Andrew Zarian stated.

#1. Booker T reveals why former RAW superstar Bray Wyatt is irreplacable

Speaking on his podcast Hall of Fame, WWE veteran Booker T commented on why Bray Wyatt's exit from WWE is a big deal. The former world champion said Wyatt cannot be replaced as he is a "throwback superstar":

''Bray Wyatt was a talent. Will he be missed? Of course. Can he be replaced? I don't think so because, I think Bray Wyatt was one of those guys that was kind of like a throwback. You didn't just look at Bray Wyatt because of his wrestling ability or anything like that."

Booker T further praised Bray Wyatt and compared him to legends like Jake Roberts and Mick Foley. Booker T said Wyatt had the ability to be different from everyone else.

Even WWE legend Mick Foley has tweeted saying Wyatt is a visionary and it is unfortunate that the company chose to release such a talented superstar:

"With @WWE’s release of @WWEBrayWyatt the company has lost a true visionary and a creative genius; one of the most innovative makers of mayhem pro-wrestling has ever seen."
