8 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Dec 5)

4. Lana Lays A Trap

Yes, it might have been a little predictable, but predictable can be a good thing (especially if it means Lana in a silk robe).

Rusev and Lana set a nice little trap for Enzo Amore Monday night, staging an argument backstage for the couple to break up in front of Enzo and Big Cass. Lana asked Enzo back to her hotel room, while Rusev challenged Cass to a match later that night. Things fell apart when Cass realized in-ring that he had been had. He tried calling Enzo, but it was too late.

Enzo tried to resist and leave, but Lana enticed him and kept him there long enough for Rusev to emerge and crush him in the hotel room. To Enzo’s credit, the tried to leave several times, but he fell prey to Lana’s will.

While it might have been predictable, we haven’t seen this storyline type in a little while, and Enzo & Cass and Rusev & Lana are telling it well. The story developed well over the course of Raw, so kudos again.
