6 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (27 April - Results & Review)

5. Time And Place

WWE Raw Joe Hendry

Joe Hendry’s Raw debut set him up with a good, potential midcard feud, but it also had one of the worst-timed “jokes” possible.

Just three days after WWE released 25 wrestlers, including several well-liked main roster superstars, Hendry was out there leading a singalong to “fire Logan Paul.” Yes, Paul is an odious heel, and getting fans to sing something negative about him shouldn’t be completely overlooked, but it’s just terrible timing to encourage the crowd to root for firing people right after it’s happened in real life.

Clearly, someone was asleep at the wheel, or they just didn’t care.
