8 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 26th)

Downs...

6. Mex-America?

So when are Homicide and Hernandez from TNA joining up with Alberto Del Rio and Zeb Colter? To be honest, it€™s probably a little too early to pass judgement on this new €œMex-America€ idea that Zeb referenced Monday, complete with a fused Mexican and American flag and decrying of walls and borders. But the initial reaction? Eh€ skeptical. It just feels like it€™s going to fall victim to the usual poor WWE writing that plagues so much of the show these days. Indeed, Del Rio already struck a strange chord by calling Neville a €œselfish, entitled immigrant.€ Che? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wibRSGWaOxQ This could be turned into a winning storyline and the initial reaction could be completely wrong. Zeb (Dutch Mantel) is a solid performer in his own right, and maybe they€™ll turn this into an honest-to-goodness stable with some new imports. If that happens, we could actually see something interesting forming here. There€™s just that big albatross of WWE creative looming.
