AJ Styles vs. Commander Azeez did not happen this week
AJ Styles vs. Commander Azeez did not happen this week

WWE RAW this week would have seemed like a very strange show to someone who didn't follow behind-the-scenes updates. Multiple superstars have been affected thanks to COVID-19 and the aftermath may be felt at Day 1 this weekend, even though WWE remains enthusiastic that the card will remain as it is.

One really has to commend the WWE RAW creative team for putting together a show with limited resources in time. How crazy is it that despite all of the obstacles they faced, they still made it happen? Our thoughts go out to all of the performers and crew afflicted by this terrible disease and hope that everyone recovers in time.

WWE RAW wasn't a good show. But was it a decent show if you consider everything that the company had to deal with, to make it happen?

The answer is yes. If you feel differently or echo this sentiment, let us know in the comments section right below.


#3 Best/Worst: The WWE RAW main event match

When Hulk Hogan would 'hulk up' and point to his opponent, it would invariably lead to him picking up a big win. Damian Priest 'snaps' in the middle of his matches too, but they lead to losses for him. This is foolhardy, especially if you consider how protected he has been on WWE RAW all year.

This was an odd choice for the WWE RAW main event match. Even Randy Orton and Riddle, because of how entertaining they are as a duo, would have fit better in this situation. Something about the contest was very underwhelming.

But then again, it's not like the entire WWE RAW roster was available to the creative team this week. So, it would be unfair to file it under 'worst'.

#2 Best: He's back. And he's better than ever.

Eric Bischoff returned to WWE RAW this week and it was quite the sight. Kudos to Sportskeeda Wrestling editor Alan Jose John who called the 'brood-bath' upon seeing how every participant in the segment was clad in white.

The wedding vows were annoying and the boos did not seem manufactured...they were genuine.

The way that Bischoff introduced Edge also deserves a special mention...it was very well done! Yes, this was a predictable segment but it wasn't bad. It may have been the best thing on the entire show!


#2 Worst: WWE RAW match gets changed not once but twice

AJ Styles vs. Commander Azeez was a match that was made at the last minute when Omos could not appear on WWE RAW this week.

Of course, if Omos had health concerns, it's understandable and nobody faults him for prioritizing his well-being over work.

So, another David vs. Goliath match was made official for WWE RAW in its place. What's baffling is how this match was changed in an instant, and Apollo Crews stepped in, instead of Commander Azeez.

#1 Best: Kevin Owens is still the best thing about WWE RAW

Kevin Owens may just be WWE RAW's most entertaining performer. Not only is he absolute magic in the ring, but his interaction with Kevin Patrick was absolutely hilarious. Patrick was conferred with the new name - Burt, and it's likely to become a popular running gag over the weeks that follow.

In fact, it was such a popular segment this week that Kurt Angle also Tweeted this out:


#1 Worst: A faction that reunites only during emergency situations?

We can all agree that The Hurt Business should never have split up, to begin with. But the fact that it was thrown back in without any kind of build or backstory on WWE RAW was just way too random and deserves all the flak it can get.

We know that when Bobby Lashley is ready to return to WWE RAW, this storyline will be forgotten for good. The Hurt Business was only there to kill time and the two talented members will continue to sit on the bench when things are alright again.

What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
