WWE Raw: 5 things we learned from this week’s episode (24 December 2018)

#2 Raw is falling short of storylines

Drew McIntyre was the hottest prospect when he made his return to Raw. However, a few months later, there is no set feud or rivalry for him, which hurts his image. He ignited a feud with Braun Strowman which was immediately watered down, and he came out short in his feud with Finn Balor.

It seems like his next assignment is with his former partner, Dolph Ziggler, which is surely a step-down.

On the other hand, Seth Rollins took on Baron Corbin to close out the night for no real reason. Rollins is already in a feud with Dean Ambrose, and there is no reason for him to compete against the man he beat right before TLC.

The two have already had their best match yet, and this week’s match was again a step down for both superstars.

The six-woman tag team matches continued on Raw this week too, which makes it obvious that the creative are just throwing matches together, and not building up storylines.
