5 things fans didn't like on this week's Monday Night Raw
Monday night Raw had its highs and lows this week.
Everyone has an opinion about what constitutes a good episode of Monday Night Raw and while some fans might think the December 11, 2017, episode of Monday Night Raw was incredible, others might beg to differ. Of course, a lot of the problems with the episode had to do with The WWE not advancing storylines, but there were other problems that plagued the show as well.
That being said, Raw did manage to have a few good moments. For the most part, though this episode of Raw highlighted all of WWE's weaknesses. They were poor at advancing storylines, and they severely underutilized talent consequently leaving fans with a general feeling of emptiness.
Here are five mistakes WWE made this week on Monday Night Raw, and how those mistakes could damage storylines moving forward. As always, make sure to leave a comment below letting us know what you thought of the list.
#1 Not Using Finn Balor Properly
Finn Balor has been in storyline limbo over the course of the past month or so and that trend continued when he took on Curtis Axel in a throwaway match on Raw this week. The Demon King did end up with the victory when all was said and done, but the lack of storyline progression, relatively low stakes and limited time made this basically a bathroom break.
It's like WWE doesn't know what to do with Balor at this point in time and just booked him on the show at the last minute so fans could see him do his entrance. The match did have all of Balor's hallmark moves, including a slingblade, a fast-paced comeback, and a Coup De Gras to finish of Axel, but it didn't really matter due to continued lack of storyline progression.
