7 Ups And 5 Downs From WWE Raw (April 27)

1. At The Same Time…

We’ve been praising Zelina Vega and her stable in recent weeks for becoming a more cohesive unit that has the potential to become a force on Raw. But the group keeps playing the role of jobbers for babyface heroes, and that continued Monday night.

This time, it was United States Champion Andrade who took the pinfall in a six-man tag match against the makeshift team of Aleister Black, Rey Mysterio and Apollo Crews. So you have your US champ lose the match, and you have your heel stable of up-and-comers lose yet another bout. And later, Andrade couldn’t defeat Crews, a man who until recently was a jobber. He won by ref stoppage instead.

None of this makes Vega’s stable something to fear on Raw, just a bunch of warm bodies who talk a good game, look solid in the ring but ultimately fall short.

If WWE is remotely serious about this stable, things need to change course.
