Today’s episode of RAW checked most boxes – Shane held the reigns, an explosive debut that’s been months in the making materialised and a bizarre alliance triumphed between two Superstars who couldn’t be more polarizing.
Let’s talk about that last bit. These two are utter paradoxes, but unlike in the artistic marriage of two of such a species, noone was enraptured when they came out on top.
Reigns is the man who everyone’s supposed to love but hates and Bray Wyatt’s the man who’s supposed to make peoples’ skin crawl but he’s wholly embraced. That was punctuated on tonight’s RAW when everytime Bray was up, the crowd loved it but the entire Staples Center was drowned in boos when Reigns broke out his moves.
