5. Treating Rollins As Honest Broker

It was pretty obvious to everyone with a pulse that Seth Rollins was, as Kevin Owens later noted, acting like a whiny pr*ck.

So why were both announcers acting like Rollins was merely giving a pep talk to the Raw roster throughout the show. When superstars would come out, Vic Joseph would ask about whether they were motivated by Seth insulting everyone, treating it like a coach’s locker room speech at halftime.

When the announcers are blatantly stupid, it’s tough to take anything they say seriously. Even if they had questioned Rollins a bit, it would have come off better. But it just struck this writer as annoying when they asked whether people like AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio were encouraged by Seth’s speech.
