4 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (July 12)

5. This Whole Interaction

Nikki A.S.H Riddle

Holy sh*t was this bad.

Riddle had nothing to do on this week's Raw, so the writers stuck him in some backstage skits with Nikki A.S.H and Ricochet. Later, he stuck his nose into the 'Falls Count Anywhere' match between Rico and John Morrison. That wasn't bad, but this behind-the-curtain convo was horrible.

The stoner's story about NASA, food courts and...whatever the hell he was babbling about sucked, and so did Nikki's contrived responses. Who knows which worker was supposed to get over here or even come out looking good. Being honest, this was more like a promo outtake than something that should've aired on TV.

Wacky works every now and then, sure. That said, mixing Riddle's out-there droning and Nikki's superhero banter together was a poor decision. It's not hard to picture producers palming their foreheads after seeing how this one played out.
