10 Live Observations From WWE Raw Live Event Barclays Center
9. Squeezing 10 Jobbers Into A Tag Match Helps The Rest Of The Show
After a pretty run-of-the-mill Rusev versus Big Cass match, it was time for a ten-man tag: The Shining Stars, Titus O'Neal, Jinder Mahal, and Bo Dallas versus The Golden Truth, Darren Young, Sin Cara, and Curtis Axel. Needless to say, this was the kind of thing that works well on a house show, but probably wouldn't do a great rating on TV.
The match was still kind of fun, with some amusing comedy spots (including plenty of inverted atomic drops). Thankfully, it was also short, with the babyfaces picking up a relatively quick win.
Though nobody came specifically to see this match, it served an important purpose - it got these stars on the show without sticking them in multiple matches. We sure didn't need to see Sin Cara versus Bo Dallas in a singles match, or a Golden Truth-Shining Stars tag.
