This week on WWE programming, the company commenced the build to the 2018 Money In The Bank pay-per-view, and for the most of this week’s episode of Raw, WWE presented an entertaining broadcast that highlighted the creative team’s goal of moving forward.

However, while Raw succeeded in certain parts, the creative team made a few mistakes which dragged the episode down

These are mistakes that might derail several stars momentum heading into the next pay-per-view, as certain booking decisions made on this week’s broadcast of Raw lacked reason, motivation and an end goal in sight. Therefore, with the build to the Money in the Bank pay-per-view paving new roads for many wrestlers WWE should’ve used that same idea throughout the entire show.

#1 The generic opening to the show

Gone are the days of Monday Night Raw opening in white hot fashion, as general manager announcements, authority figures autocratic promos and segments that just booked to set up matches are dominating WWE’s creative list of way to open up their flagship show.

Moreover, this week was no different, as Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, and Kevin Owens opened the show in an underwhelming fashion.

This opening segment only did two things, the first being Kurt Angle announcing the qualifying matches for the Money In The Bank ladder match and secondly, it set up the first qualifying match between Strowman and Owens in a disappointing fashion.

WWE need to reinvent their opening segments, as that first few minutes could define how hot or dull the rest of the broadcast could become.
