The Hurt Business is back and business is indeed good
The Hurt Business is back and business is indeed good

In some ways, WWE RAW was more extreme than Extreme Rules 2021. There were two matches on the show that fit the extreme category which would have been a better fit for the pay-per-view that preceded it.

It was definitely a stacked episode of WWE RAW this week, with Big E in action not once but twice throughout the night. We even came to know who will challenge him next!

So, without any more of your time, let's check out the best and worst of WWE RAW this week. As always, feel free to chime in with your thoughts and comments.

Let's start with the best and worst category because it deserves a special mention.

#3 Best/worst: WWE RAW sees the return of Goldberg

If someone lays a hand on your son, wouldn't you return for retribution immediately? Or would you wait for the next big event to come along so that you receive a major payday when you return for revenge in Saudi Arabia?

That said, there is no disputing the kind of intensity that Goldberg brings to every single promo. In fact, Goldberg went on to say that he wants to kill Bobby Lashley, which is not something we've heard often since WWE went PG. One has to hope that Big E does not drop the WWE Championship to Bobby Lashley, however, to make the upcoming match in Saudi Arabia even bigger.

Goldberg and Bobby Lashley could definitely have a good match. They just have to make sure that it doesn't last long.

The best-case scenario for the WWE RAW brand would be if this match happens outside the title picture. There's certainly a story to be told and there's a hungry Saudi Arabian audience hoping to lap it up.

#2 Best: A new WWE RAW star gets the spotlight

WWE RAW Superstar Veer pinned Mustafa Ali to pick up a major win this week. They made a reference to Million Dollar Arm on commentary, which is the movie about Rinku Singh's (Veer's real name) life. It's great to see that Veer is being given his due because the need of the hour is to create new stars who can break out. One has to believe that WWE RAW Superstar Mansoor will get his big win back in Saudi Arabia.


#2 Worst: There's a conspiracy theory doing the rounds

WWE Creative Humor is a popular Twitter account known for hilarious takes on WWE's booking. A Tweet went out recently which made fun of the way Finn Balor was booked in the Extreme Rules main event match. Among the many individuals who 'liked' it was WWE RAW Superstar Ricochet.

Many fans online have speculated that Ricochet was thrust into the 24/7 Championship picture for the very same reason. Whether or not that's the case, it's a major step down for him. He deserves much better.

#1 Best: The WWE RAW main event match was just perfect

WWE RAW saw the return of The Hurt Business, which was a positive step. This is a faction that should have never split up, to begin with, but all's well that ends well! The WWE RAW main event happened inside a steel cage, and everything about the match was A+. For Big E to pick up a dominant win in such a convincing manner will do wonders for him.

As for Big E vs. Drew McIntyre, it should be a good feud!


#1 Worst: The never-ending feud

Charlotte Flair and Doudrop had a pretty competitive match on WWE RAW this week that went back and forth. And then Eva Marie would ruin the moment by striding in and bringing an end to the proceedings.

Can Doudrop move on from Eva Marie already now that she's comprehensively beaten her so many times?! Yes, it was a way for Shayna Baszler to come in and decimate Marie, but Doudrop suffered in the process. Hopefully, Doudrop gets a big singles push soon.
