This past week, RAW opened with a weird A Moment of Bliss segment featuring Randy Orton, Alexa Bliss, and The Fiend Bray Wyatt. It was a rather bizarre segment, even by WWE standards.

However, a report from PWInsider revealed that there were contradictory opinions backstage in WWE about the segment. While it was described as "100% Vince McMahon vision," several people backstage didn't like the segment.

It has been revealed that the opening segment was '100% Vince McMahon's vision'. It was additionally reported that several people backstage argued against the RAW segment, as they felt it was weak and needed a lot of work before it was aired. There were calls for the segment to be overhauled, but it's nearly impossible to overrule the boss. It was added that WWE had enforced an important new edict regarding time cues during the broadcasts. The report states that several Superstars were pulled up for going over the prescribed time slot at Survivor Series and the shows that have followed. The segments extended the time limit has also led to the producers facing some degree of heat.

Ultimately, the segment played out the way Vince McMahon wanted to and WWE could have done better with it. We hope it isn't true but we wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of opposition to the segment.
