WWE Raw November 7th: Analysing and grading each segment

Stephanie McMahon introduces the Raw Men’s team:

Why was McMahon the focus here?

Grade: 6/10

This whole segment could’ve been used to give all five men some mic time, but McMahon undertook most of the talking. Rollins was introduced as the fifth man, even though it was blatantly obvious, and no man had time to say or do anything of note.

The crowd, rather than being hot from the get-go, were cooled down somewhat by the Commissioner. This was merely a means of setting up the Fatal-5 Way for later in the night, and it did what it was supposed to, although the whole segment felt rather forgettable.

Jericho and Owens’ antics were highly entertaining, and the brawl was a nice way to amp up the atmosphere. However, the central focus of the segment was unfortunately on McMahon, rather than the five superstars.
