4 Ups & 9 Downs From WWE Raw (July 19)

7. Another Mega Return!

Oh wait, it’s just Lilly.

Yep, Lilly the spooky doll made her return to Raw, as WWE is hellbent on making fans wretch. Keep in mind that WWE brass got an earful Sunday night when Alexa Bliss tried her magical powers to make the briefcase descend and then hypnotized Zelina Vega. Fans audibly groaned at both instances, which should have been a warning sign that this stuff that “worked” in the empty ThunderDome probably would flame out in front of a crowd.

And yet, WWE is insisting on bringing back a child’s doll just as fans are returning too. It’s as if they want to see a car crash on their own show.
