10 Things We Learned From WWE Raw (May 29)
9. A Different Angle
Corey Graves mirrored a vast disenfranchised section of the 'WWE Universe' on Monday, as he ignored Michael Cole and everything going on around him to stare dramatically into his phone before completely abandoning the product.
Unlike the worrying numbers that are finding something else better to do with their time than watch yet more WWE though, Graves instead marched backstage to share a rather cruel text he'd received slating Kurt Angle as General Manager of the flagship broadcast.
It was a soul-crushing inevitability that this sort of story would rear it's ugly head, but it's a little disappointing that the programme has been jump-started less than three months into Kurt's reign.
WWE are obsessed with the inferior babyface authority figure trope, with only Stephanie McMahon and Triple H ever positioned as competent even when they are malevolent heels and thus working to the detriment (in theory) of around 50% of their roster.
What did come from this was yet another mystery, which adds at least some interest alongside the Enzo Amore whodunit (more on that later), to sticking with the broadcast in hope of getting an actual payoff.
Angle's unrealistic read-out didn't give much away about the perpetrator, but the bullying is sure to continue. Graves could be texting himself, of course, WWE have plotted that exact chart once before.
