WWE RAW - Best and worst- Too many heel turns, Big mistake with Survivor Series build, Embarrassing botch on-air, Major return

The best part about WWE RAW is that Survivor Series 2021 is, at least, being referenced. It would have been a more highly-anticipated event if the build was a little better if an actual story was told about the animosity between the two brands.

But we take what we get. This wasn't an awful episode of WWE RAW, and it was definitely newsworthy, but was it really gripping? Was it really worth investing three valuable hours of your day?

This is where you come in. Share your thoughts and views in the comments section and let us know what you genuinely thought of this week's show!

While the 24/7 title changes did not warrant an entry into this week's WWE RAW review, let us reiterate how much fun they were!

#3 Best/Worst: Did we really need two major heel turns on WWE RAW this week?

Is heel Kevin Owens money? Yes.

Was it necessary for Kevin Owens to turn heel to advance this storyline with Big E? Yes.

Was it necessary for Kevin Owens to turn heel immediately after Doudrop did, only an hour or so prior? Oh hell, no!

It just feels like with two major heel turns on WWE RAW, one just happened to dilute the other. And while Kevin Owens is a natural heel, there's something about Doudrop that just screams babyface. She is just a very likable individual.

In any case, these are important plot points from WWE RAW and they should play into the proceedings wonderfully in weeks to follow. Kudos to the creative team for trying to shake things up leading into Survivor Series. Sometimes a three-hour watch isn't rewarding, but on this occasion, WWE went all in. They could have just spaced things apart.

#2 Best: Liv Morgan wins big, Becky Lynch is a natural on commentary

The WWE RAW Women's Champion may just be the best announcer in all of sports entertainment. Did you catch how natural she was when she put all of the participants in the match over, except for Liv Morgan? Morgan would eventually go on to win the whole contest and will face Becky Lynch next.

In all likelihood, Morgan will come up short and win the WWE RAW Women's Champion later, seemingly on a bigger stage.

But these baby steps to make her into a legitimate star are truly welcome. She has all the ingredients needed to be a big star someday.

#2 Worst: Embarrassing botch from the WWE RAW commentary team

The main event match between Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens was great, at least on the wrestling front.

At a particular point, the WWE RAW commentary team got so engrossed in the action that they merged the two superstars. And from the ashes of this match was born, the one, the only, Seth Owens.

#1 Best: Did anyone notice MVP's return to WWE RAW by Lashley's side?

MVP is back on WWE RAW by Bobby Lashley's side and this is awesome. Who knows if he'll be the head of the newly reformed (or is it?) Hurt Business, but together MVP and Lashley look like a formidable pair.

It was also great to see Lashley destroy Dominik Mysterio in the manner that he did. Hey, a certain gentleman is a million dollars lighter and may want an opponent soon.

#1 Worst: Why does Adam Pearce want WWE RAW to win?

Flawed logic strikes again. Adam Pearce is not the WWE RAW authority figure. He has shown up both on the red brand and the blue brand, on a weekly basis.

Why is he then so invested in the WWE RAW Survivor Series team that he wants them to win so much, that he puts Bobby Lashley in Dominik Mysterio's path?

Is this a third heel turn from the show? No babyface would throw another good guy into the lion's mouth.
