25 WTF Moments From WWE RAW (July 11)

Darren Young actually did become great again...

Vince McMahon was heading back for Monday night RAW with the purpose of his trip undisclosed.

Would he be back to announce the new COO of SmackDown Live? Yes. Surely. That's all we care about so close to the brand extension. After Randy Orton vs. Brock Lesnar was announced last week there's nothing else 'up in the air' in the WWE Universe.

We're just a week away from the draft now which means that everything on this show was going to be geared towards it. Any meaningless matches would be seen as putting your name forward for a more prestigious draft number, no doubt. Although, a huge over the top rope Battle Royal was also announced in the seconds before showtime with the winner going on to face The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship at Battleground. An interesting contender in that match was Darren Young, who would make his television debut after weeks of painful promo packages with Mr Bob Backlund.

Other than the huge announcement and the literally bigger match, there was nothing else selling this week's show with Battleground just under two weeks away.

As always however, there were those moments that had me pinned back in my chair and screaming WTF at the television. Here's 25 of them! Make sure you check the accompanying video!

21. WTF Overload

Because the following WTF Moments are very much cut and dry, black and white, and exactly what they say on the tin; I'm going to chuck them all in one entry for you because I love you and treasure you for the mark you are.

First of all, we have our first John O'Clock moment and JBL calling Apollo Crews "Titus". No. Just no. I'm not going to elaborate on this point or I could say something sensitive which wouldn't be a good thing. It would be a bad thing indeed.

Secondly, we have Dolph Ziggler who after hitting a Fameasser went for the pin in an over the top rope Battle Royal. No. Just no.

Lastly for this entry we have the WhatCulture signs which I know I said I wasn't going to include anymore in last week's SmackDown article since we've hit the big time; but we had no less than six in Detroit, plus two more which were tweeted to me after a put the images together for this article, and that's a lot. WTF.
