7 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 25)
5. Remember When Kane Was A Threat?
Remember when the Brothers of Destruction completely destroyed all four Wyatt Family members with minimal effort? Apparently we found out which brother was the weak link of that team, as Kane fell to Bray Wyatt in a matter of minutes. The match, obviously designed to push Wyatt as a threat to Brock Lesnar, was short and lacked any crowd heat whatsoever unless you count the fans chanting for a fan dressed up as Randy Savage. Its obvious that fans dont buy it for a second. WWE buried the Wyatts in the name of making Undertaker look good for his 25 anniversary, and now the efforts to rehabilitate Bray and company are being sniffed out and called out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5vSAmf_bkw As for Kane, its sad to see him be treated as a jobber to the stars like this, only getting to seriously be a threat when hes around his storyline brother. Sure, its great that hes helping to put over a new generation of stars, but hes been beaten so many times over the past couple years that you have to wonder if Hornswoggle could beat Kane.
