WWE Monday Night RAW, 7th January 2014 - Superstar Ratings

The Wyatt Family

The first episode of Raw in 2014 had all the glitz and tension to make it one of the best shows of the year to come.

The old school themed show clearly made maximum usage of the returning legends and put them into tensed situation with the current roster. Ric Flair and Roddy Piper showed that the skills they have for cutting promos is still intact while Rikishi, Jake Roberts and Sgt. Slaughter put in some nostalgic in ring performances along with the new age outlaws.

On the present side of the roster, Daniel Bryan made his debut as a Wyatt family member. The Shield looks closer to their eventual explosion while Roman Reigns continues to get the big push. To sum up there were lot of action to make it worth seeing again. So here is a look at how the superstars performed in the latest edition of WWE’s flagship show.

3MB- 3/10

3MB

Though the trio is assigned to the comedy genre of the show, 3MB always produces the goods and does the task wonderfully.

Their work this week was to make look Too cool good and give the fans a nostalgic moment. Though they did it with dedication the fact that Drew McIntyre is being wasted for such a gimmick is unacceptable.

The best part however is that they at least got some time on live television with some Attitude era legends.

The Great Khali- 5/10

The Great Khali

There isn’t much needed to say about how Khali is being used by the WWE. After his initial push which saw him destroy The Undertaker and win the World heavyweight championship, Khali has been relegated to a comic character.

His match with Sandow was nothing short of embarrassing but a win gives the big man a credible rating. After all a win is a win itself.

Damien Sandow- 5/10

Damien Sandow

A talent like Sandow being used for comedic purpose only in a degrading heel scene doesn’t make any sense what so ever.

Last week at least he had the luxury of winning the match, but this time not only he lost the match to a man that could barely walk, Sandow also got his rear kicked by a man that’s the age of his grandfather. Sandow is on a downward spiral now and is a prime example of talent being wasted.

Curtis Axel- 5/10

Curtis Axel

One of the biggest failures of 2013, Axel seems to be heading in the wrong direction this year also. He gained nothing in his squash match against Langston and seemed to be setting up a clash between Langston and Ryback rather than benefiting his own career.

There is no direction whatsoever for Axel now, and it looks destined to continue for some time unless any miracle happens.
