7 mistakes WWE made on Raw before Wrestlemania 35 

#4 Back to Square One

Braun Strowman will be just another superstar in the meaningless pre-show Battle Royal at Wrestlemania. This is the third year in a row where WWE has absolutely no plans for Strowman going into the biggest pay-per-view of the year.

While the company tries to justify Strowman's presence in this match by having him feud with SNL's Michael Che and Collin Jost, it doesn't change the fact that Braun is going backwards.

In 2016, Strowman's booking consisted of squashing jobbers on a weekly basis, until the man himself grew tired of this trend and demanded more competition from then-general manager Mick Foley.

This led to feuds with Sami Zayn, Roman Reigns and then Brock Lesnar, but on Raw this week, Strowman went back to squashing jobbers. WWE has no idea how to properly utilize a superstar such as Strowman, and it is sending his character in a slump he can never crawl out of.

#5 A Mockery

Is Finn Balor overrated or underrated? This is a question many fans struggle to answer when assessing Finn Balor's contribution to Raw every week. It's hard to say whether it is WWE's booking or Finn Balor's character work that falls short on Raw.

No one is questioning Balor's in-ring prowess - the man is technically gifted in every category, but when it comes to presenting himself as a compelling character, Balor just falls short, and that might be WWE's fault.

This week Finn teased his alter ego, 'The Demon', for his match with Bobby Lashley at Wrestlemania, and what should have been a terrifying display turned out to be one of the most hilarious moments of this week's episode. Balor sticking his tongue out and growling was a terrible moment in his alter ego's history.
