10 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 4)
8. Jobber Nation
They can call themselves the Social Outcasts, but Heath Slater, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel might as well call themselves the JOB Squad 2.0. Still, seeing these four get face (and mic) time on Raw and Slater winning a match against Dolph Ziggler was a great moment. The question here is what is going to come of this group. None of them were doing anything of note before (unless you count Roses gossip segment), so giving the foursome any sense of purpose or direction is a huge plus. However, this is now the second group of four somewhat directionless heels who have been lumped together. (And at least the League of Nations had two singles champions when it formed.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX3cdZf6aNM For now, lets give this group of Social Outcasts the benefit of the doubt and be grateful that they got air time instead of a backstage segment with Stephanie McMahon berating an employee or something like that.
