In which WWE spoiled...

...a torturous opening segment the likes of which everybody hates. So, a bit like sour milk turning into cheese before our very eyes.

According to Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE finalised the April 22, 2019 RAW script four minutes before the show aired. What would materialise from this incredible amount of hard, furious work, something so important that it risked confusion and chaos?

WWE took six days, 23 hours and 56 minutes to write...

...an opening verbal segment in which several Superstars interrupted one another to set up that evening's card. Amazing. So many Superstars, all sharing the same ring. History was made on that night.

And, what's worse than the same, rotten, all these wrestlers are as good as each other malarkey is that WWE, wracked in the confusion of its increasingly demented overlord, had already advertised the two Triple Threat matches and the resulting singles main event...

...which, incidentally, saw Baron Corbin wrestle twice on the same episode of RAW again, months and months after it became apparent that he is ratings poison. Asked why Vince McMahon still pushes Corbin, Dave Meltzer suggested that the man who hasn't promoted a real fight in his life deems Corbin tall enough to kick somebody's ass.

Actually, Vince has promoted real fights, under the Brawl For All umbrella.

And he had no idea who was capable of winning.
