5 Reasons Why Last Night's WWE Raw Was The Best Of 2019

Since its inception back in May, the 24/7 Championship has provided us with many memorable moments in its short history, but what went down this week topped everything else that's happened so far.

After R-Truth and Carmella were victorious over Drake Maverick and wife Renee Michelle in the opening segment, Truth was ambushed by a plethora of stars in pursuit of his beloved championship. A first-time champ emerged from the scrap as the champion though, and his name is Mike Kanellis. Finally, Mike had done something to make Maria proud of him.

Or so he thought.

Maria had tracked her husband back to the locker room he was in, before coming out with one of WWE's best lines of the year: "if you don't let me in right now, I'm going to knock down this door, and kick you in your vagina." What followed was surely a first for professional wrestling as a whole, as Maria ordered Mike to lay down as she pinned him to become the first ever pregnant 24/7 Champion, and likely the first pregnant champion in wrestling history.

This was sensational. The whole Mike and Maria storyline has been one of the most entertaining things to watch from WWE in recent weeks - it's fantastic to see them finally being properly used in the company. Things can only go up from here. Well, maybe not for Mike.
