8 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 11)
6. A One-Sided Feud
Did you know that since Survivor Series, Stardust and Titus ONeil have been on opposite sides of the ring in seven televised matches, and Titus has been on the winning side all seven times? That includes five singles matches (three of which took place on Main Event). Thats not a feud. Thats not even having someones number. Thats called owning someone. Titus owns Stardust. The year is young, but Stardust is 0-for-2016, while Titus is undefeated this year. It makes their second Raw match in as many weeks a confusing affair, especially since its not painted as the end of anything, just yet another match between the two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPKKlTbsiHI And the reason for the feud? Apparently (in addition to Titus crashing Stardusts Star Room), Titus wants Stardust to embrace his roots and go back to being Cody again. When has he expressed this? (And please dont say it was a tweet.) How does repeatedly beating him in the ring convince Stardust to revert to Cody Rhodes? If youre head hurts, youre not alone.
