6 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 6)

1. Trash Monster

One of the benefits of Raw being taped Monday night was that WWE had the opportunity to edit out any flubs, mistakes or just plain bad segments.

So when something is included, it leads to wondering whether they missed something, or if they didn’t think it was too goofy or messed up. It’s impossible to go back in time and stop the godawful Braun Strowman emerging from a trash truck eight days after being tossed into a completely different trash truck from Raw last week, but WWE damn sure could have mitigated that embarrassment by not showing it this week. Which they did. Twice.

You have to think that WWE had several opportunities to come to their senses: in the entire week leading up to Raw, while the video package was being assembled, as it was being cued up during the live taping, and then still in the time between taping and airing the program.

WWE had the added benefit of more time to reach for the smelling salts, but they didn’t. And diehard fans watching alongside their family members or other casual fans had to explain how Braun either rode around in a trash truck for eight days, or jumped back into a trash truck so he could pop out like a woman jumping out of a cake.

Yeah.
