5 Burning Issues For WWE Raw Tonight (Oct 23)

2. Such Devoted Sister

Though the status of Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt hasn't been formally updated since the Friday news that both would miss Sunday's TLC pay-per-view, the assumption is safe that both will be missing from Raw until the viral infection has fully cleared.

But does this mean the end of something beautiful before it ever truly came to be?

Awful as it was destined to play out as, the prospect of seeing Bray in eyeliner and a bedraggled wedding dress was absolutely fascinating, but without his/her patient foe Finn to match up against, the issue seems deader than poor Abigail herself.

Until Wyatt returns, god forbid Bálor actually just be allowed to be a sh*t hot pro wrestler again. Because if anything damned the 'Eater Of Worlds' beyond his usual spooky nonsense this week, it was how quickly 'The Demon' looked like the biggest deal in the company when stood opposite a wrestler of greater than or equal pedigree.

Despite those sweet yoga abs, Finn's no downward-facing dog at the moment, and if anybody should be allowed to 'Run' as far away from Sister Abigail as possible, it's him.
