Last week saw a clear step in the right direction for Monday Night Raw. This week, it was imperative that WWE continue that momentum, to demonstrate to fans that have lost faith in the product that the ship was finally turning around. That this week's episode was a go home show made it even that much more important.

Unfortunately, the company failed on almost every measure. This week's episode of Monday Night Raw was more of the same. More meaningless matches. More Shane McMahon shenanigans. More "wild card" nonsense throughout the show. More duds.

The show failed to generate any excitement for Extreme Rules (which it could have easily done because Sunday's show actually has a decent card). It's going to be very interesting indeed given that the pay per view is only a day after All Elite Wrestling's latest show, Fight for the Fallen. This was not the foot WWE should have wanted to put forward ahead of a competitive weekend.

Did anyone manage to get anything out of this show? Who got the least out of it?


Losers: Zelina Vega and Andrade

Sure, there was no way that Zelina and Andrade could or should have defeated the team of Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins ahead of their Extreme Rules match. Unfortunately, that just telegraphs the point about Andrade's career on the main roster (which Zelina is attached to). He's there to make the bigger guys look good. He's a jobber to the stars.

This match was just more of the same for him and his fortunes. It's difficult to see him breaking through the glass ceiling hanging over his head anytime soon, which is a shame because he's capable of a lot more, and doesn't have any promo problems because of the presence of Zelina Vega.
