8 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 31)
1. Fail In The Biggest Sense
Only WWE can actively work to undo an ongoing storyline in the name of making Vince McMahon laugh at 3rd-grade humor.
The victims this time were Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, and the vehicle of choice was the traditional holiday food fight disguised as a match. In recent weeks, it looked like WWE was committed to rebuilding Gallows & Anderson as a serious threat of a tag team by having them mow down jovial teams like Golden Truth and Enzo Amore & Big Cass. They ditched their lab coats from their New Day feud and adopted a no-nonsense attitude. And then they won convincingly at Hell in a Cell Sunday.
And then Monday night, Gallows lost a “Trick or Street Fight” to Enzo, complete with a bobbing for apples scene, Luke selling being beaten with a plastic skeleton, and Amore winning with a DDG (jumping DDT) while Gallows was wearing a giant pumpkin on his head. Oh, and Anderson got a pie in his face and went through a table for good measure.
Seriously. And WWE brass wonders why only part-timers and legends from the past move the needle for the company.
