Best and Worst of RAW Before Extreme Rules

There was much to both like and dislike this week

#2 Worst: Top stars buried?

Balor should have been kept off this pack, in my opinion

Babyfaces and heels alike, some of whom are feuding, united to separate Reigns and Lashley this week. I thought this was an incredibly silly move. Moreover, I did not agree with making Finn Balor a part of this pack. I've always thought that he's been a step above the rest of the talent, in terms of hierarchy. This week's segment killed his character.

Some rare star power in the "all jobbers in the locker room run out to break up a brawl" spot with @FinnBalor and @GloriousBobby making the trip#MondayNightRAW

What I did like is how Balor took a shot at Corbin during the opening segment. That still did not set things right for me, really. The upper mid-card guys should have been left out of this run-in.
