Best and Worst of RAW: 7 May, 2018
This week, RAW came to us from The Nassau Coliseum from Uniondale, New York. This show dealt with the fallout of Backlash. It was also concerned with the build to 'Money in the Bank'. It wasn't a particularly good or bad show, it was just about okay.
WWE did not pull up their socks after the disappointment that was Backlash. There were moments that impressed during the course of the evening, but nothing extraordinary. Seems like we will be in a holding pattern for a while then.
For what it is worth, here's what Iliked and disliked from the show. I invite you to leave a comment and let us know your thoughts and views about the same.
Presenting the 'Best and Worst' of RAW.
#1 Best: Matches with actual stakes
Three wars were waged this week to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder matches. The first one saw Braun Strowman take on Kevin Owens, the next one was a Triple Threat between Ember Moon, Sasha Banks and Ruby Riott and the third, the triple threat main event between Roman Reigns, Finn Balor and Sami Zayn.
RAW was guilty of a lot of meaningless showcase matches this week. Thankfully, these three matches kept my interest because it was difficult to guess who would qualify for the same. Sadly, there was no storyline beyond this stipulation.
Let's hope that the following weeks continue the excitement by actually having stakes for matches. Even the Jinder Mahal-Chad Gable match had stakes, but it didn't play out like Mahal would have wanted it to.
