6 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 25)
Downs...
7. Saturday Night Nope
Look, maybe this writer – a fan of both Saturday Night Live and WWE – is over-examining things.
But this celebrity involvement of Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che in a “feud” with Braun Strowman just feels beyond forced. It’s ridiculous, and now all three will be in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, making the annual match a sideshow once again. (Hey, Rob Gronkowski just retired, so maybe he can actually enter it this year too.)
Jost looked like he has transitioned from a frightened mark to a weak Andy Kauffman rip-off, subtly mocking Strowman while pledging to help him (chew food, do taxes, etc.) and demanding to be paid back (plus interest) for the car Braun destroyed.
Maybe this is actually really well done and this writer will wake up one morning and think it’s brilliant. But right now, it just isn’t clicking.
