The RAW that followed Survivor Series wasn't the best episode
#2 Worst: Going way too long
Ad
The opening contest just seemed like it wouldn't end
Sometimes, you need enough time to tell a story in a high stakes match. Generally, I'm all for that. But when you put on a match with no stakes at the top of the show on RAW, which lasts an entire hour, I tune out.

And I'm sure that I'm not the only one that felt that the opening match just went on and on. I liked how the three men ganged up against Braun Strowman and lay the beat down on him. I just thought that it took way too long to get there and tell the story.
It became clear after a point that the only reason this match was going so long is to kill time. It will not surprise me, when the ratings come in if it turns out that people tuned out of this match because of how long it went.
