10 Things We Learned From Post-Extreme Rules WWE Raw (June 5)

10. The Usual

Bray Wyatt opened up this week's edition of Monday Night Raw with a long, rambling promo in which he broadly issued threats to all the four men that did a better job than him in the Extreme Rules Fatal Five Way, pausing especially upon Roman Reigns to draw the requisite boos from a fairly ferocious live crowd.

That triggered the arrival of 'The Big Dog', who reminded everybody that the ring was 'his yard' despite losing as many televised matches as he's won since apparently retiring 'The Deadman' at WrestleMania 33. He swung the pendulum back in his favour with a victory over 'The Eater of Worlds' following a painfully pedestrian twenty minute snoozer.

As Samoa Joe celebrated his victory at the climax of Extreme Rules' main event, it was tricky to reconcile what direction was left for the four losers. Other than Joe himself, there seemed no safety net for the remaining talent to fall into after the defeat, and an utterly, utterly meaningless Monday Night Raw contest does not inspire hope that the situation is any different.

Wyatt was a lost cause before, during and after his WWE Title run, and impending feuds with Finn Balor, Seth Rollins or whomever else they decide likely won't help. But Reigns is uncomfortably freewheeling in the absence of a credible opponent. Braun Strowman's successful return can't come soon enough for 'The Guy'.
