6 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (August 21)

3. Painful

Can this mini-feud between Authors of Pain and Titus Worldwide be finished? Please?

AOP dominated NXT and presumably were going to do the same on Raw. Instead, they’ve stalled, most recently engaging in a prolonged battle with Titus O’Neil and Apollo Crews. Meanwhile, the B-Team is running around falling backward into Raw Tag Team Championship victories.

The Authors should have dismantled Titus Worldwide, or at least had a quicker victory. The only positive to note from this is that AOP did control much of the match and swatted down their opponents’ comebacks.

But the fact that this is still ongoing makes this a mild down. That will only get worse if the feud must continue.
