3 things WWE did right on Monday Night RAW (December 10, 2018)
Things are not looking good for WWE these days when it comes to their weekly television shows.
Both Raw and SmackDown are recording record low ratings week in and week out. Both shows are getting less than positive reviews from fans, and nothing appears to be changing any time soon. Vince McMahon has a firm hold on the controls of the main roster shows, and he’s not letting go for a long time.
Oddly enough, it wouldn’t take much to change things up and make the shows better. All it will take is a few tweaks here and there and both Raw and SmackDown could be much more watchable shows. And WWE seemed to do just that tonight. RAW felt refreshing after weeks of dishing out a bad product. Let's look at 3 things that WWE did right tonight.
#3: Seth Rollins taking matters in his own hands
Last week, the RAW ratings went to a historic low, and WWE needed to bring some changes in their opening segment. Seth Rollins opening the show made me think that they realised their mistake from the past 3 weeks, and decided to put Rollins to give us a quality skit to look forward to.
Seth calling out Baron Corbin was the most compelling segment they had done in ages. With Rollins pointing out the garbage that has been Raw lately even if he was blaming Corbin rather than the guy in charge of writing the show.
Rollins pointed out the RAW ratings being at an all-time low, he also called out the Universal Champion Brock Lesnar for not being there while pointing out that the last time Lesnar wrestled on RAW was in 2002 (Although he did wrestle in 2015, it was Rollins who bailed out).
Corbin took offence to Rollins blaming him for all the fiasco and made a match that will see Rollins compete against him in a TLC match for the Intercontinental Championship in the main event.
