#3. Worst: The predictable main event of RAW

The main event of RAW this week was Bobby Lashley vs Seth Rollins. It was the WWE title challenger taking on the Universal title challenger. While this would have been a WrestleMania-worthy match-up, the reality is that it was predictable and doomed from the start.

When you have a superstar who is about to face Brock Lesnar and another about to take on the best version of Roman Reigns, it's nearly impossible to pick a winner. Sure, Bobby Lashley won on a technicality via disqualification, but the truth is that the outcome was never in question.

The finish was designed to protect both men. Hurt Business members Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander came out and their interference sucked all the energy out of the fans in the arena, who were disappointed with the outcome.

The Usos making a surprise appearance certainly served as a highlight on RAW this week, but it wasn't enough to salvage the match.

WWE could have done a better job, or simply not booked the match at all. Perhaps another thought process was that Rollins and Lashley could eventually have a big feud down the line, with the former Shield member being a babyface. This finish could help preserve a post-WrestleMania feud.
