#5. WWE brutally ignores Mickie James' RAW return

WWE veteran and six-time Champion Mickie James made her return to RAW after over 18 months - and her return to the ring after 14 months. She had gotten injured in a live event against Carmella, where a freak ACL tear kept her out for a long time.

When she returned to RAW last week, she was immediately confronted by Lana and Natalya - with the match against the latter being announced. They faced off this week and it was...underwhelming, to say the least. Not only did WWE put up a short match between the two on RAW, but the match itself was entirely ignored in favor of Seth Rollins' conversation with Samoa Joe.

Seth Rollins confronted Samoa Joe, who seems to be the new "insider" on the commentary team. With rumors of Rey Mysterio returning, Seth Rollins hounded Samoa Joe to see if it was true and how he knew that the legend would be coming back.

The problem with this conversation was that it was WWE essentially telling us that Mickie James' return match holds no importance. We're aware that it may not be the most important feud, but are they doing right by the talent to have a match serve as a backdrop?
