7 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 23)

6. Sacrificial Lambs

Poor Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley. You had to figure that with the Wyatt Family thoroughly embarrassed in their feud with the Brothers of Destruction, the group either had to disappear, or redeem and rebuild by demolishing someone else. Looks like WWE chose the latter, and chose the nine-time tag champs as the victims. The Dudleys were dismantled in a matter of moments with Bubba Ray being distracted, was discus clotheslined and pinned. Then the rest of the family proceeded to obliterate the Dudleys, leaving them laying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPdCNvlOVWU Remember when this was being teased as a feud, when Luke Harper and Erick Rowan had just reunited and were using the Dudley Death Drop (renamed The Way) as their finisher? This had all the makings of a real feud, with a legendary team like the Dudleys squaring off against the Wyatts. Instead, Bubba Ray and D-Von were simply a vehicle to get the Wyatts back on track. What a shame.
