To make up for the lack of surprise debuts/returns, the poor booking and the questionable decision-making Monday night, WWE decided to throw a bunch of random stuff at the wall.

World title for world title match? Sure, why not? We can always have it end in a DQ and just book a tag team match… playa!

Elias concert ended by a returning Undertaker on the Raw after WrestleMania? Wait, what?

Yep. Taker wasn’t able to show up for WrestleMania, but the night after, beating up Elias? Sure, why not?

But neither of these incidents added anything to the program other than a mark-out moment for many fans. But hey, you got to see Taker fill some time on Raw, so go crazy.
