WWE Raw Review: 10 Big Talking Points (Jan 18)

6. Big Show vs. Heath Slater

I really have no idea if the Big Show is a heel or a babyface. Actually, you could say the exact same thing for Heath Slater and his band of Social Outcasts. Slater's group hasn't really done anything evil or good, they are just kind of there which means that no one cares about them. Slater runs away, a decidedly heel move, and slides to the outside to mock Big Show. He gets a little too cocky though and Show drags him inside the ring, hits the KO Punch and gets the pin. The rest of the Social Outcasts attack and Show knocks them out one by one but Bo Dallas manages to momentarily escape. He prances around the ring but ends up getting knocked out anyway. My Take: I really don't get the point of something like this. I know they want the Big Show strong heading into the Royal Rumble but someone his size doesn't really need to be put over entering the event because the guy weighs like 500 lbs. and is an established guy. Of course, no one thinks that Big Show has a chance in Hell of winning the Royal Rumble so a segment like this is pointless. As far as the Social Outcasts go, every show needs jobbers and these guys are the 2016 version of "Iron" Mike Sharpe (RIP). The match was a DUD as well but you already knew that.
