6 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 28th)
5. A Pull-Apart (Yawn) Brawl
Another of WWEs favorite fallbacks for ways to build interest in a feud or match is to have a massive pull-apart brawl between participants. It looks like theres so much hatred that the match can barely stand it or so its supposed to seem.
At times, this can work really well toward selling a match. But in other cases, it can be really boring and forced. Mondays brawl between Triple H and Roman Reigns of course was supposed to be the former, drawing people into their world title feud that cant be contained. Instead, we just saw everyone else on the roster play second fiddle to the two wrestlers, serving as faceless soldiers.

The only fun part of the brawl was Reigns hitting a no-hands tope, but beyond that, it was a pretty boring (from an excitement perspective) battle. There just didnt seem to be a big hatred between the two.
