6 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (April 29)

DOWNS…

7. A Close Shave

Usos Revival Shaving Raw

Oooh, look how edgy The Usos are! They secretly videoed The Revival shaving each other’s backs!

That isn’t a joke, that’s a serious thing that happened on Raw Monday night. Because that’s what passes for humor/building a rivalry in 2019 WWE.

It’s not the worst thing WWE has ever done (Chris Jericho spilling coffee on Kane, anyone?), but this was just dumb. The Uso and Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder seemed to understand that and tried to play it off – with Dawson doing a decent job of trying to save it by saying it was scientifically impossible with his arms and lats to reach his back – but it was too goofy to save.

You have the most decorated tag team of the past decade and one of the better technical tag duos in recent years, and you generate a rivalry like this? Are the writers all 13?
