25 Ways WWE Has Ruined Raw

20. Endless Replays

Though WWE have cut back on the number of replays shown throughout the average episode of Raw over the past few years, they still clog the broadcast, and remain one of the promotion's most called-upon ways to fill the show's colossal three-hour runtime.

If anything close to notable happens on Raw, you know the company are going to repeat it several times throughout the night. This is fine if, say, something big goes down in the opening segment, and fans need reminding before the main event, but Roman Reigns droning "you're in my yard" with the passion of a jaded sloth? Yeah, no thanks.

Replays don't need to go away entirely, but WWE still have some trimming to do. Their reliance on them shows a blatant disregard for their viewers, who they presumably think lack the brainpower to remember anything at all, and it remains a constant bugbear.
