It was not long ago that Raw was WWE’s hottest show, but the brand is slipping in recent weeks. Matches lack stakes, and storytelling particularly involving The Judgment Day has looped for weeks on end.
Cody Rhodes should feel like a fresh challenger to the dominant stable, but he has grown already too familiar, particularly when squashing “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio.
Jey Uso is doing his best to add a fresh element to the story, but he is mostly an extension of the feud of Rhodes, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens against Finn Bálor, Damian Priest and Dirty Dom.
Other than the consistent use of Nia Jax in the past two weeks, the women’s division has struggled to get off the ground, and Jax is not the most exciting challenger for Rhea Ripley or Chelsea Green and Piper Niven.
Gunther’s best challenger is falling into the background. Seth “Freakin” Rollins, the fighting world champion, has not wrestled on six straight episodes of Raw.
The wrestling cards have been lackluster for Raw recently, and next week does not look to improve on that. Perhaps WWE is just taking it easy while the NFL steals the spotlight, but that is hardly a consolation to the WWE Universe waiting for exciting moments.
