6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE Raw (23 Dec - Results & Review)

UPS…

6. When You’ve Lost Dirty Dom…

Dirty Dom New Day

The New Day’s heel turn has been very carefully cultivated and curated thus far, but there have been some pretty good beats along the way – crowd sweetening notwithstanding.

Backstage, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have gotten the cold shoulder from everyone, from production crew to locker room leader Rey Mysterio. Monday, it appeared as though they finally had found a kindred spirit in Dominik Mysterio, who clapped the “New Day rocks!” as he approached them.

However, Dirty Dom quickly changed his tune, commenting, “I didn’t like Big E, but that (the verbal beatdown earlier this month) was just crazy” as he walked off. Woods was quick to shoot back, “You look like a broke-ass Tom Selleck!”

Mysterio stroked his mustache and replied that Selleck wishes. When you’re getting put down and outshone by one of the most despicable wrestlers on the roster, you know you’ve hit the bottom – in the best sort of way. Great stuff here for a 30-second segment.
