6 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (July 26)

Downs…

6. Vince’s New Darling

R-Truth Reginald

It’s a good thing Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler ditched that bad luck charm and goofball Reginald last week… for Reggie.

The new 24/7 Champion got a match and spotlight, while his former friends were nowhere to be seen on Raw. Funny how that works…

Reggie flipped and flopped around before, during and after his match with R-Truth, just doing acrobatics to avoid his challenger before hitting the dreaded somersault senton for the win.

Look, this isn’t highly offensive TV or anything, but it’s just there. And it’s going to really wear out its welcome by week #5 with Reggie flipping around and Vince McMahon likely writhing on the floor in gorilla loving every minute of it.
