There was more bad than good, this week on RAW

#1 Worst: No Universal Champion

This was, by far, the most disappointing thing about RAW

The whole world was talking about Brock Lesnar winning the prestigious Universal Championship. And the champion decided not to show up. It's one thing when he does not do it for storyline purposes. However, the fact that he missed a critical RAW episode is criminal.

This was the one thing that possibly made people tune in to catch the action. I was disappointed with the fact that not enough of a big deal was made about the title switch. Neither was the match against AJ Styles provided any real build.

So...no Brock Lesnar at #RAW #WWEManchester ??I didn't watch the 1st hour of Monday Night Raw.

Neither did he show up at UFC which was considered to be the only valid reason why WWE would put the belt on Lesnar. Those in the industry had assumed that WWE wanted their belt to be seen at a big UFC pay-per-view event, but this turned out to be a mere rumour.
