4 Ups & 11 Downs From WWE Raw (Nov 22)

9. Veer Is Coming

For the past month now, we’ve been “treated” to virtually (if not exactly) identical vignettes warning us that Veer Mahaan is coming to Raw.

Lest we forget, Veer was one of Jinder Mahal’s heavies, but he remained on Raw in the draft while Jinder and Shanky went to SmackDown. Veer has wrestled on Raw a bunch, so he’s not really “coming” to Raw… unless they’re going to try to sell us on it being a new persona since he suddenly has a last name. (That’s weird in and of itself, as WWE is more apt to nix a first or last name than they are to add one.)

But rather than re-debut or just hide in the background, we’ve seen the same vignette weekly for a month, warning us of Veer’s impeding arrival. *Yawn* Wake us when there’s something to actually care about or pay attention to.
