WWE RAW is building towards some big bouts for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. Kofi Kingston will challenge WWE Champion Bobby Lashley at the event. Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre will compete in the men's ladder match in hopes of winning the MITB contract.

This week on RAW, fans witnessed a singles contest between former allies McIntyre and Jinder Mahal. Despite their well-known history as 3MB members, there was not much buildup to the match, and McIntyre won via disqualification.

Many fans wanted Mahal to cost McIntyre his Money in the Bank opportunity so that the two could later engage in a big rivalry. Instead, WWE just booked a match between the two men on RAW to get the feud started.

Was it the right move to pit these two men against each other without building up a major angle? Should the creative team have waited a while before putting The Maharaja up against McIntyre?

Monday Night RAW has featured some questionable decisions over the past few months. This could be one of the biggest matches the creative team has booked without a major buildup.
