5 Ups And 11 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (May 27)

4. Titles Are Worthless

Well, at least all the secondary titles are seemingly worthless.

Go through them in your head and try to name all the champions on Raw not named Seth Rollins or Becky Lynch. Go ahead, we’ll wait.

The United States Championship is being vacated due to injury, but WWE bailed on addressing the future of the title Monday, save for simply saying that Rey Mysterio will vacate it next week.

The Raw Tag Team Championship hasn’t been defended on TV since the night after WrestleMania, and the champs haven’t wrestled on Raw in three weeks, when they were demolished in less than three minutes in a non-title match.

The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships haven’t been defended on TV since two nights after WrestleMania, and the champs have been on the losing end of every main show match since then.

The 24/7 Championship is… well, the 24/7 Championship. There are no official matches, just a mad dash around the arena with a series of rollups and mini-brawls.

This is WWE in 2019.
