Mistake #1 The Championship curse
The trend has continued. Mid-card champions always lose non-title matches on TV. Raw's action started with a solid triple-threat match featuring AJ Styles, Rey Mysterio, and Samoa Joe. The match had a predictable winner in AJ Styles. Also, it’s worth noting that the United States Champion, Samoa Joe took the pin.

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.
In the next match, Naomi defeated Billie Kay from the IIconics, the Women’s Tag Team Champions, in quick fashion. The match ended before it started, as Naomi rolled up Kay for the victory. Last week, Finn Balor had lost to Andrade on Raw. On the other hand, IIconics had taken losses on both Raw and SmackDown.
It’s painfully obvious that WWE should seriously look into other ways of advancing feuds or putting over superstars than to have their champions lose to everyone. Champions and championships lose a lot of credibility by losing matches such as these. In the IIconics' case, the tag champions have not won anything since 'Mania. There's something really wrong about it.
