It was the final episode of Monday Night RAW for the decade last night, and while the show was solid, with several feuds heading into the Royal Rumble being solidified, there were some questionable moments.

The final segment of the decade was the wedding of Bobby Lashley and Lana, a union that didn't get finalized since it was crashed by several Superstars, including Liv Morgan and Rusev.

It was a soap opera style segment that seemingly sent the fans home happy after a stacked show of wrestling entertainment, but as always, there were some interesting botches many in the WWE Universe probably missed.


#3 Not the appropriate way to get out of the ring

This week's episode of RAW was kicked off by Kevin Owens, who was annoyed that he had been jumped by AOP and Seth Rollins several times over the past few weeks. Owens was denied his chance to get even at TLC since Rollins suffered a broken finger a few days prior, which meant that this storyline has continued.

Owens called out AOP, who made their way to the ring to beat him down once again, but this time he had backup. Last week Authors of Pain targetted Samoa Joe, and he decided to lace up his boots and return to action this week to get even.

The only issue was that when AOP looked to stop Joe in his tracks on the way to the ring, one of the former Tag Team Champions got stuck between the ropes and had to slowly get himself out of a slightly awkward situation.

#2 Erick Rowan almost steps on Kip

Erick Rowan has been the subject of quite a push on Monday Night RAW ever since the Draft allowed him to switch to the company's flagship show, but the contents of his cage are still one of the biggest questions in WWE right now.

Rowan is said to have the backing of the main officials backstage in WWE, which could be why he has been handed several jobbers in recent weeks to allow him to look much stronger than his days alongside Luke Harper.

This week, Kip stepped up to the challenge and was another Superstar who wanted to find out what Rowan was hiding, and obviously, he didn't manage to lift the lid on the mystery since he wasn't even able to roll under the ring effectively.

He rolled out of the ring and looked to slide below but fell short, and instead had to pull himself under, forgetting his feet momentarily. When Rowan jumped out of the ring he almost landed on Kip's feet, so he could have pulled him back out, but he ignored this to walk around to the other side of the ring.

#1 The wedding of the decade

Lana and Bobby Lashley rounded out the decade by exchanging vows this week on RAW, but it appears that the segment didn't exactly go to plan. There were several botches throughout as Lana and Lashley's first partners made their way out to object to the ceremony before the official fluffed his lines and Lashley then had to save him.

Interestingly, Lashley then messed up his vows, Lana messed up her lines, and Rusev somehow managed to botch getting out of a cake. It was an interesting segment that was probably the most controversial way for WWE to end the decade, but at the same time, it was too botchy to be taken seriously.

Liv Morgan's addition to the story has added a swerve that none in the WWE Universe was ready for, and it means that this story can now continue well into 2020. The WWE Universe will be tuning into next week's RAW if only to find out how Lana will be able to justify the fact that Morgan has revealed their relationship to the world.
