6 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (April 27th)
3. Leadership Vacuum
If youve been watching Monday Night Raw for the past month, youre keenly aware that Kane and new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins have been seeing eye-to-eye recently. In fact, theyve been at each others throats more often than not, even though they technically are on the same team. Knowing that, why in the blue hell would Triple H take off the night after a PPV in which Kane chokeslammed Rollins and nearly cost him the world championship? Why would he leave Kane in charge of Raw and thus controlling Rollins fate? Wouldnt the events at Extreme Rules demand Hunters presence to preserve the peace? What was more important than making sure there wasnt an implosion or meltdown that could jeopardize the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? Apparently, something kept Triple H and Stephanie McMahon away for the night, leaving the inmates with the run of the asylum. And sure enough, Kane managed to set Rollins up for a triple threat match at Payback in less than three weeks. If Kane cant be trusted to help protect the title, then why is he the #2 person in the Authority? At the very least, why was he left in charge? Its a pretty damn big logic gap.
