8 Ups And 5 Downs From WWE Raw (Jan 27)

1. What Was The Point?

Remember when the Lana/Rusev/Bobby Lashley/Liv Morgan storyline was supposed to be the hottest thing going?

Well, Monday night, we got what presumably was the blowoff match for the women, and it was basically a three-minute nothing match, with Liv taking “punishment” for about 45 seconds before coming back with an enzigiri and rope-assisted Flatliner for the win.

And just like that, Morgan has her revenge on Lana – for God knows what. We didn’t get any hint of what Lana did to Liv, as that seems to have gone out the window. So Morgan is upset with the Ravishing Russian for some reason, and she pinned her.

The end. Right? After dedicating so much time of Raw programming to this storyline, this might actually be the blowoff – unless we’re gonna get a “Loser Leaves WWE” match or something like that.
