2. Shaking Things Up

Nothing says, “The show you watch every week stink to high hell” like the WWE chairman coming to Raw to “shake things up” on Monday.

Vince McMahon’s pending appearance on Raw was plugged numerous times, with word that he was going to take some big actions on the show. This followed Baron Corbin losing his TLC match and being stripped of his position as acting GM, so “shaking things up” likely means a new authority figure.

Throw in the announcers reminding us what Seth Rollins said on Raw, that ratings and attendance numbers are down – and then blaming Corbin – and you have another glaring reminder that what we’ve been watching the past several months has been a lackluster program.

Thanks guys, really appreciate being told the show is crap and needs more McMahons to spice it up.
