3 big mistakes WWE should have avoided on the RAW before WrestleMania 35 (2 April 2019)

It was the last RAW before the Show of Shows, and the fans anticipated an action-packed show this week. Though some segments and bouts were substandard, it was a good show overall. Considering this week's RAW was the final chapter before the Showcase of Immortals, the episode certainly did not meet the expectations of WWE Universe.

There is no denying that the massive brawl between the three participants of the RAW Women's Championship match was one of the best moments of the night. Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair subsequently got arrested. Seth Rollins stood tall this week when he took down Brock Lesnar, and he will be confident before their bout in New Jersey while Drew McIntyre attacked his WrestleMania opponent Roman Reigns in the backstage.

Finn Balor surprised everyone when he announced to bring out his alter ego at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Batista appeared on the RAW, but Triple H did not confront his WrestleMania opponent. Moreover, the Revival retained the RAW Tag Team Titles after defeating the team of Aleister Black and Ricochet by count out. Surprisingly, Baron Corbin closed the show when he defeated Rey Mysterio.

Despite producing an action-packed episode of the flagship show, it lacked firepower. Here, we discuss three mistakes WWE made on RAW this week.

#3 Letting Rey Mysterio lose to Baron Corbin

Considering it was the final RAW before the Showcase of Immortals, we expected a mind-boggling main event. However, the main event was indeed tedious as Baron Corbin faced Rey Mysterio. Earlier, Kurt Angle was scheduled to fight Mysterio, but Corbin replaced him.

Even though it was a not exciting way to close the flagship show this week, the outcome of the match could hurt Rey Mysterio. The former WWE Champion is scheduled to face the US Champion Samoa Joe, but a loss before WrestleMania could derail his momentum. Though Samoa Joe lost to Kurt Angle last week, Corbin doesn't have a similar stature like the Olympic Gold Medalist.
