WWE RAW 1/28/2014 Review: 5 Things We Learned

1. The WWE Mid-Card: How We Loathe Thee

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga0IYR4OXXw&list=PLF0CB8E7B4C77DB61 Time and again in our 5 Things column, we have discussed the WWE mid card. Most of the time it's in shambles, disorganized and somewhat lifeless, with no real direction. Other times, however, it's been strong and improving, something we can sink our teeth into and get behind. But right now, it's just simply the former: the mid-card has more issues than we know where to begin with. Do you care about Xavier Woods? What about Fandango? And what The Usos? Curtis Axel? And what about Dolph Ziggler? And the WWE was doing such a great job recently of getting behind the tag team division recently, then they go and put the belts on the ancient New Age Outlaws and begin the break-up of the top performing Brotherhood. On top of that, you have the WWE trying to get Xavier Woods over, Kofi Kingston may or may not be in line for a push, and so on and so forth. This is character disarray at its finest. The problem is now we have too many big name acts in play here at the start of Wrestlemania season, and the mid-card is losing it's focus from WWE Creative. With Randy Orton an uncompelling champion, John Cena seemingly out there just to be out there, and now the return of Batista, Brock Lesnar, and Sheamus all back into the fold, there appears to be too much going on for anyone to be able to get it right. Let's hope they can fix it, because the future of the WWE post-Wrestlemania XXX depends on their successes now. What say you, wrasslin' fans?
