7 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 15)
2. Afterthought City
Remember all that time ago when Sheamus was WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Alberto Del Rio was the United States Champion and the League of Nations looked like it could be a powerhouse faction? That was two months ago. Monday night, the group was celebrating a win against the Lucha Dragons and Neville as if they had knocked off the Mega Powers and the Ultimate Warrior, calling it a big win for the group. The League has fallen down to the point where you can legit ask this question: If they hadnt shown up on Raw, would anyone have noticed their absence? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvM3GkzhDY4 Its really sad to consider that Rusev is a year removed from his dominant run as U.S. champ and King Barrett hasnt wrestled in two months. Sheamus is battling tendonitis after his fall from a three-week reign as world champ. Kevin Owens is really lucky that Canadas petition to join the League of Nations was rejected.
