17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE Raw (July 1)
Monday Night Raunch.
Is the influence of Paul Heyman as Executive Director of Raw already being felt or are WWE just panic-booking their way through the summer?
That's a valid question due to this week's raunchy new flavour. Attitude era fans would've high-fived one another at copious use of words like, "b*tch", "sh*t" and more, but Heyman's regime still has one massive problem to fix: Seth Rollins. The Universal Champion, is actually coming across as Becky Lynch's subordinate, and it's not exactly making him look like his own man.
On Monday though, the headlines belonged to Mike and Maria Kanellis. They've gone from 205 Live rejects to potentially having a reality TV style story on the main roster. If you skipped their mixed tag against Seth and Becky, then you missed one hell of a departure from recent WWE storytelling. It's almost like Vince Russo is back in the saddle.
Other things you could've missed include more production errors (this is becoming a worrying trend), Ricochet selling his ass off, landmark losses, and The Miz undermining an angle he's been working since before WrestleMania 35...
