#1 Flopped on WWE RAW: MVP

MVP could have been booked better on WWE RAW

In the final match of WWE RAW this week, we saw MVP lock horns with Matt Riddle in an extremely brief in-ring encounter. The leader of The Hurt Business wanted to teach a couple of lessons to Riddle, including one about respecting The Hurt Business. Unfortunately for MVP, things did not go according to plan.

Within one minute of entering the ring, Riddle attacked MVP with a couple of punches and quickly followed them with a Floating Bro. He then rolled up MVP to pick a swift victory over his opponent on WWE RAW. Bobby Lashley tried to enter the ring after the final bell, but Riddle saw his opportunity and escaped from the squared circle along with his Bronuts.

MVP’s quick loss against Riddle made several onlookers question the entire point of this match. It barely did anything to make Riddle look strong, especially if you consider his previous altercations with MVP. On the contrary, it ended up making MVP look extremely weak inside the ring, a booking decision that the creative should have avoided on WWE RAW.
