7 Ups And 6 Downs From WWE Raw (April 13)

4. Vega’s Stable

At the outset, this looked poised to get huge positive marks because it seemed like WWE was setting up for a bigger feud between Andrade and Drew McIntyre. Instead, they p***ed it away in one three-hour episode of Raw Monday night.

However, we will still give positive marks – barely – for finally putting all three members of Zelina Vega’s stable together as a force on Raw. Austin Theory and Angel Garza both won their respective matches, and then the three men attacked the opponents in those contests. It made them look strong as a group and gave you the feeling that we could be seeing more of them as a unit.

So while the Andrade/McIntyre angle being seemingly blown off in one week is a huge negative, we’ll give a passing grade to the possibility that this group could be effective going forward.
