The biggest winners and losers of last night's RAW (November 18)

Someone, please make it stop!

Last night's RAW was the red brand's go-home show to Survivor Series. Unfortunately, some people might have taken the words "go-home" a little too literally, as the show lacked inspiration. There were some great matches, but too many of them got interrupted by invaders that reminded us Survivor Series is less than a week away. WWE, unfortunately, overused the trope.

Though Survivor Series' battle of brand supremacy doesn't mean much on its own, strong performances there might indicate that a star is being pushed toward WrestleMania, now closer than it is further away. With that in mind, who got the most and least out of last night's show?


Loser: Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley had a match with No Way Jose, but since most people probably don't even remember that the latter is a main roster competitor, the talking point was in the promo which took place before that match.

There, Lana declared that she was filing for divorce from Rusev and had a restraining order prohibiting his presence in her immediate vicinity.

Unfortunately, there was an easily visible flub of the lines in the promo, with Lashley of all people needing to do some corrections. Afterward, the two played tonsil hockey, to the care of nobody.

There was nothing that got fans into this. They know that this angle isn't good.

Bobby Lashley hasn't exactly been a hot commodity since his return to WWE last April, but it's angles like this that have made him that way. For some reason, he's always involved in something that cools the place off, rather than heats it up. That wasn't the case during his career in Impact, and it's a testament to how badly he's been misused.

No hot WrestleMania angle is likely to await Bobby Lashley this time around.
