5. Ziggler Stands Around

We thought it was bad for the Street Profits to stand around in the ring for upward of eight minutes due to commercial and a video package before their opponents made their way to ringside, but Dolph Ziggler took the cake Monday night.

Ziggler came out for his United States Championship match, and Raw went to a commercial. When they came back, they threw to a four-minute video package of the Liv Morgan/Becky Lynch feud. Then we cut to a backstage promo from Damian Priest. Then Priest made his entrance. Then we went to commercial again.

By the time ring introductions began, 15 minutes had elapsed since Dolph made his way down the aisle. That’s just absolutely insane. And sorry, we’re going to point that stupid stuff out here when it gets excessive like this, because there’s no reason for it.
