7 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Dec 21)

Downs...

8. Where€™d Rhyno Go?

For the past couple weeks, we witnessed a mini-reunion of four ECW originals, as the Dudley Boyz enlisted the help of Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno to battle the Wyatt Family. Thankfully, the extreme warriors merely served to give a much-needed rub to the Wyatts, rather than beating them to re-establish themselves in WWE. Last week, we saw the ECW originals fight the Wyatts in an Extreme Rules match, only to lose. Then this week, Bubba Ray, D-Von and Dreamer ran out to save Kane from a 4-on-1 Wyatt beatdown, which led to an 8-man tag match. But what happened to Rhyno? Did he miss the flight from Philly to Minnesota? Did he get demoted back to NXT? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohVP4KqXfnY Obviously, WWE needed to make it four-on-four, so we got three of the ECW originals, but how hard would it have been for the announcers to say that Rhyno was banged up from last week and couldn€™t compete? A simple comment like that would have covered up the absence logically and taken three seconds. Guess that€™s too much to ask.
