5 Takeaways from this week's WWE Raw (25 June 2018)

#3 The Authors of Pain should not be running away from Titus Worldwide

Why did Akam and Rezar hide from Titus Worldwide?

Competing in their first match on Raw in almost two months, The Authors of Pain made light work of rookies Rich & Rex Gibson, defeating them in destructive fashion inside two minutes with their Last Chapter finisher.

Following Akam and Rezar’s victory, Titus O’Neil and Apollo ran down to the ring to save the two local talents from further punishment post-match, prompting the two members of AOP to hurry their way through the ropes to avoid a confrontation with Titus Worldwide.

While the commentary team explained that AOP were simply “picking their battles” and decided they didn’t want to fight Titus and Apollo at that particular time, the monstrous duo were still made to look incredibly weak when they essentially ran away from one of the least intimidating tag teams on the roster.
