8 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 12)
1. Embarrassing Tag Team Division
Last week, AOP reached the top of the Raw tag team division by defeating one man – Seth Rollins – who defended the tag titles alone.
Monday, we saw the entire tag division wiped out by one man – Braun Strowman.
Suddenly, that mountain AOP climbed looks like more of an anthill.
We’ve seen main-event stars beat up lesser wrestlers before, so that’s nothing new. But having Braun mow through every other tag team in the division single-handedly does nothing except ensure that no one buys any of them as challengers to AOP in a fair fight.
If WWE wanted to have Braun do something like this, book an Ascension/B-Team match to open Raw and save the other four teams that were in there. At least that would have been a bit more believable too.
It’s just absolutely stupid booking, getting a momentary pop at the expense of any planning whatsoever.
