10 Things You May Have Missed From WWE Raw (Jul 2)

6. Vader's Shout-Out

Last night was relatively quiet on the fan sign front. One obnoxious MAGA banner cropped up several times throughout Raw's opening stages, but was duly confiscated. Aside from this, the most notable effort was the "VADER' sign that appeared intermittently, which wouldn't be worth pointing out under normal circumstances, but is on the back of a strange directive issued by Vince McMahon last week.

The Chairman reportedly banned all mention of the legendary Vader in the wake of his recent passing. An odd move, as while 'The Mastodon's' best work took place away from WWE, he's generally regarded as the most legendary wrestling "big man" of all time. The company kicked last week's Raw off with a tribute slate and uploaded a vignette to YouTube, but that was the extent of it.

As the sign technically goes against the company line, it's surprising that it wasn't taken away. Still, good on that fan for showing love where WWE did not.
