Something about WWE RAW just feels off, doesn't it? There are so many logical flaws and confusing segments that one has to wonder if something about the entire show is amiss.

Why does Adam Pearce oscillate from being a heel to a babyface every single week? He made Drew McIntyre, a beloved babyface miss a battle royal, showing certain heelish tendencies. And this week, Deville and he made a No DQ stipulation to help Lashley out, which was a babyface move.

What is the motivation behind watching three hours of WWE RAW to follow the story of a monster heel overcoming three of his challengers? Are we supposed to root for him? Is he turning babyface soon?

It certainly does not seem like it if you consider how the WWE RAW main event match played out. Yes, Bobby Lashley and Big E worked together to dispatch the heels, but The All Mighty won the match with MVP's help.

After three hours of WWE RAW most weeks, you're left questioning your sanity.


#3 Best/Worst: Splitting up the top WWE RAW heel couple

Was splitting up Miz and Mrs. on WWE RAW a good idea? Maryse definitely adds a lot to The Miz's presentation, and for them to go their separate ways just seems like a strange decision. Let's hope that the company has an endgame for this storyline and that it's not something they decided to do out of the blue this week.

It's weird to see Maryse get upset with The Miz's cowardly action, where he used her as a shield. It's not the first time he's done it. Why is she upset now?

That said, it's impossible to divert your eyes when these three individuals are on-screen. Everything about this segment, barring the end, was great.

#2 Best: Otis scores this week's biggest WWE RAW upset

This week on WWE RAW we witnessed the ultimate upset. Yes, Otis defeated Riddle in what was one of the most shocking moments of the entire night. This is a positive development because Otis' potential has been wasted by the company on so many occasions.

From splitting Heavy Machinery up for no rhyme or reason to have him win and lose the Money in the Bank briefcase, they haven't done right by him at all. This is a step in the right direction. Oh well, at least one hopes so.


#2 Worst: The pencil

For the amount of effort and money that is spent on every WWE RAW episode, the backstage segments between Austin Theory and Vince McMahon have poor audio.

And the parts that are audible make no sense at all. What did Vince McMahon even mean with the pencil example?

Yes, getting the rub from Vince McMahon is a big deal, but some of these segments are very confusing indeed. One may argue they're doing as much harm as good.

#1 Best: Bobby Lashley to align with Gable Steveson soon?

What a great WWE RAW showcase. This week's episode was a Bobby Lashley masterclass to prove his dominance and for him to put Steveson over in the manner he did was absolutely awesome.

It's great to see that the company is biding its time with Gable Steveson and treating him like a big deal. When he does become a full-time member of the WWE RAW roster, it is clear that he will receive a massive push.


#1 Worst: The 24/7 Championship picture on WWE RAW is absolutely unbearable

The 24/7 Championship picture was pretty bad before Dana Brooke became the Champion. But now, in a product that does not promote inter-gender action of any kind, the entire title picture has become absolutely befuddling.

Why are R-Truth and Tozawa part of the said picture on WWE RAW when they cannot even compete for the Championship? In a division that's already starved of female talent, why waste Brooke and Tamina Snuka in what is such an insignificant division?
