8 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 29)
1. More Laughter
When the rivalry between Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy began, this writer gave it a lot of room to breathe. WWE finally had pulled the trigger on the “Broken Universe” and turned Hardy into Woken Matt. We could be in line for a unique push and some fun, new angles. Plus, this was someone who could match Bray for weirdness.
In the early going, we got a lot of laughter and rambling, dueling promos. Then more laughter, less talking. Now, we only get laughter. Monday, Bray’s intro burst distracted Woken Matt long enough to get rolled up for a loss to Elias, and then Wyatt appeared on the screen and started laughing. And laughing. And laughing.
And that was it. This feud has been reduced to two strange guys laughing at each other or threatening to “delete” the other. That’s about it. No more strange promos. No unique skits or segments. Just laughter.
It isn’t funny anymore.
