Best and worst of RAW- 10th December, 2018

RAW was a distinctly different episode from start to finish

#3 Worst: TLC match before the pay-per-view even airs

Has WWE already given the audience a taste of the pay-per-view?

Like I said before, I quite liked the main event match. I thought Seth Rollins was just as great as he always is and that Corbin brought up his game to, and seemed like a credible challenger for the current Intercontinental Champion.

I'm just a little surprised that WWE gave away a TLC match before Sunday night. It would have been more special, had the match been reserved for the event.

As it is, there is a lack of excitement around the pay-per-view, stemming from the lack of a Universal Champion. Imagine having a Hell in a Cell match on RAW right before the pay-per-view takes place. I somehow thought that this was a decision that did not make a lot of sense, to give away the main reason why people are watching your pay-per-view prematurely.
