2. A Better Celebrity Focus

As the Raw recap rolled on, the hosts turned their attention to celebrity involvement in the form of Logan Paul and Bad Bunny.

They rightly celebrated Paul’s unparalleled growth in just eight professional matches, but the longer video highlight correctly belonged to Bad Bunny for his match against Damian Priest at Backlash in Puerto Rico.

That match – and several others from the PLE – should be played on free TV as often as possible to sell WWE as the hottest product on Earth. The fans turned a typical B-show into a white-hot event with a raucous crowd popping for everything, with the Bunny/Priest match turned up to 11.

The match itself had everything you could want – a mainstream mega-star, enthused and energetic fans, eye-popping offense, and a ton of gaga via the Judgment Day and the LWO. It was a perfect video highlight to share, and it was fun to relive.
