7 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 25)

1. How Is That Stacking The Deck?

Unless plans have drastically changed, you have to admit that the Authority€™s plan for the Fastlane main event is lacking in multiple ways and shows a bout of laziness on the writers€™ part. First and foremost, if the Authority is trying to keep Roman Reigns as far from the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, then why would you book him in a triple threat match alongside his best friend who has had his back for more than half a year? Wouldn€™t you keep him as far away as possible from a title match?But worse yet, the Authority said they were looking to see who impressed them and then would simply name the participants in the match. So Vince and Stephanie McMahon had free reign to choose anyone from the roster, and they chose the same man who is their mortal enemy? That one needs a little explaining.
