WWE RAW - Best and worst- Major face & heel turns, Superstar gets buried once more, Poor booking for a promising superstar
It almost seemed as if this week's edition of WWE RAW would be a very standard affair until the very last hour when Mustafa Ali joined RETRIBUTION. Until then, WWE RAW featured a countdown clock that was ticking down to an apology from Seth Rollins, one of the most ridiculous things one has seen in the history of the show.
However, in retrospect, this was not the worst episode of WWE RAW and enough plot points advanced to give it a thumbs up, despite the fact that a lot of 'nothing' happened as well. So, let's look at the good, bad, and ugly from WWE RAW this week, and gauge whether the show was a success or if it was a bust.

But Murphy could be the man to benefit the most from the storyline with Aalyah Mysterio and a feud with his former mentor Seth Rollins, in the weeks that follow. On WWE RAW this week, Murphy became a babyface and many dramatic moments await this young man as he goes on a redemption arc in the weeks that follow.
