7 mistakes WWE made on Raw this week(25 February 2019)
The one thing that fans have an issue with when it comes to WWE is the booking of Raw. As this once well-crafted show has been watered down so much over the years, it was going to be hard for WWE to get the Red brand back on track. But it seems that the company is slowly starting to do that, as improvements are being made on the show.

Although it is just not enough, as the key issues on Raw are still not being addressed and fixed by the creative team. Repetitive matches, Superstars booking still being lackluster or detrimental to their careers and the inability to help NXT stars to succeed on the show are some of the main problems with Raw. And it's safe to say that some of those issues are being fixed slowly but surely.
But this week on Raw saw some of the best booking the flagship show has received in years, as many surprising moments, returns and a heel turn elevated the show beyond its boring state. However, did it solve the problem? Well, let us find out what mistakes WWE made on Raw this week and how they could have avoided it.
#1 The Revival is still not a top priority
For many weeks, it was rumored that The Revival is leaving the WWE, as their pathetic booking on Raw has seen them go from the greatest tag team in NXT history to just tag team on Raw. Fans were sick of The Revival being booked as the 'almost guys', and Dash and Dawson were tired of it as well.
And for a long time, they stirred the rumor pot of a potential exit from the company, but was all a work by the WWE, as they put the Raw Tag Team Titles on The Revival. It was genius marketing from the company, to misdirect fans like that, and many praised the decision.
However, now it seems like that was not a clever bait from the creative team, but more like a panic move, as WWE not wanting to lose any more talent. Ever since becoming the Tag Team Champions, Dash and Dawson have lost back to back matches against all of the recent NXT call ups, proving that WWE has may not have massive plans for this team.
From DIY beating them on Raw last week to Aleister Black and Ricochet doing the same this week, the fans want to know why WWE is doing this to a team that could legitimize the tag team division on Raw?
