WWE RAW 18th January 2016 - 3 things that did not work
Don't know what exactly made sense to the writers of this show on this particular night which was the last Raw before the Royal Rumble, but we were given a show that mostly was just redundant.There were not much storyline developments except in the womens division, which is pleasantly surprising. There is just not much thrill going into the Rumble except Lesnar's apperance and the surprise entrants but as a storyline, this One Vs All thing is only harming Reigns’ momentum after the breakthrough he had with his title win on raw against Sheamus in Philly.Here are the 3 things that did not work on this show:
#1 Chris Jericho\'s appearance
This was annoying. Jericho was talking slow about something that never made sense. He was in the opening segment of Raw and he fully authorized a match between Reigns and Rusev and then anointed himself the special guest referee.
How dumb does one need to be understand this thing? Then he had the Highlight Reel where Paul Heyman making an appearance first and him and Heyman having a confrontation about nothing at all.
At one point you even hear Jericho ask what if he and Lesnar are the final two and he throws Lesnar out to become a 7-time World Heavyweight Champion. It’s not even entertaining anymore with Jericho teasing or even having a prophecy of such things. It ceased to be thrilling a long time ago.
