8 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 11)
5. So Theyre Faces?
Last week, Heath Slater joined forces with Adam Rose, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel to defeat Dolph Ziggler with a few distractions. It was pretty clear that despite their goofy act, the newly crowned Social Outcasts were going to be heels, especially since they cheated to beat fan favorite Ziggler. This week, however, the foursome walked out to confront the villainous Wyatt Family, showing no fear of the group that has dispatched of the Dudley Boyz week in and week out. Slater declared that fans needed to grab some penicillin because the Outcasts were going viral (baby!) and they got in the ring for a match. Despite being outsized and outmatched, they didnt back down from Braun Strowman or Bray Wyatt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bgpJdUTE-c Before they were sent to Jobberland, the Outcasts were saved by Ryback, still mad after the Wyatts had attacked him last week. The five men cleared out the Wyatts and stood tall. So does that mean that the Social Outcasts are now good guys? They cheat to beat Ziggler one week, then stand up to the fearsome Wyatts and enlist hero Ryback the next? Head hurting, again.
