#1. Worst: No real payoff to Doudrop vs. Eva Marie on RAW?

Doudrop and Eva Marie finally had their match on RAW. While it was originally scheduled for a few weeks ago, the former attacked Marie pre-match and she was deemed unfit to compete.

This week, they finally had their payoff match, with Doudrop squashing Eva Marie for the win. It was certainly the right way to go about it, but the overall payoff felt underwhelming in the end.

With that said, there isn't much else that could have been done. Perhaps WWE could have stuck with the pairing longer than they did.

#1. Best: Big E's WWE title win

Ad

The only real way to conclude this edition of best and worst of RAW is with the central point of the show - Big E and his WWE title win.

Bobby Lashley vs. Randy Orton was moved from Extreme Rules to the Monday night show, and the New Day member announced that he would cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase beforehand.

This seemed to be classic trolling by the company, but that wasn't the case. Lashley retained the WWE title against Orton, and Big E cashed in as expected. He is now the new WWE Champion and it received a huge pop.

A new era on RAW begins next week with Big E.
