WWE did the same thing on SmackDown where they replayed the entire Tag Team Elimination Chamber match from the recent pay-per-view. It was even more tiresome on RAW, where WWE chose to show us the whole men's Royal Rumble match this week. And they kept the carrot dangling at the end of the stick with Stone Cold Steve Austin's appearance on the other side of the match, so viewers had to stay tuned.

At a time such as this where WWE's putting on heavily compromised shows, they need the goodwill of fans, and I'm not sure that replaying things from the past is always necessarily the best thing to do. Maybe a match or two more on the card could have made things interesting. I mean most people who're watching RAW on the road to WrestleMania have already watched the Royal Rumble match.
I understand that WWE had their backs against the wall but there could have been a better way to handle the whole situation.
