6 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 7)
5. So Who Looks Good Here?
Let’s review quickly.
Seth Rollins hit a curbstomp and pinned Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose Monday night, then stomped him again but was stopped by Bobby Lashley, who lost to Elias at TLC and on Raw two weeks ago, and was beaten to a pulp by Rollins last week. Elias lost to Baron Corbin, who had been on a losing streak recently.
So who is supposed to be the person standing tall here? Lashley physically was the one standing at the end of Raw Monday night, but he hasn’t exactly been setting the world on fire. Rollins seemingly is the guy being groomed for a Universal Championship match, but he’s still battling for the IC title, and since he can’t win that, he had to lose Monday night.
It’s WWE booking itself into a corner, and it stinks. There’s no good answer here, so instead of someone looking strong, you have a bunch of people hovering just above or below other people, which makes it tough to really consider them top guys.
