Things the WWE has / are completely screwing up

The WWE Heavyweight Belt (has the belt ever been this useless before?)
The Wyatts
Alecia Fox
The 9.99 is evidence that the WWE is a complete sellout and will never get any better than it is now

After tonight's WWE RAW in Chicago went off the air, Kane, Seth Rollins and Randy Orton left the ring. Dean Ambrose also left and John Cena recovered until The Wyatt Family ran out to attack him.
Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper beat on Cena until Ambrose ran back down and made the save. The crowd was going crazy at the thought of Ambrose and Bray Wyatt going at it. Cena and Ambrose cleared the ring and then took turns posing to end the show. Thanks to Nate and @chitownot for their help with the post-RAW recap.

I thought RAW was pretty wack last night. Rollins and Ambrose are usually pretty good battling, but they missed some serious moves and the tag match was clumsy.

The Bunny and Rev Jesse Jackson was hilarious. I'd really like to see the Bunny with gold.

Was hoping someone would come out and interrupt Hogan. There's no more heel move than to cut short that speech.

I'll agree with Lana, but she needs Rusev. She needs to be the voice of him.

I am a Miz fan if he does it right. Getting Sandow as his stunt double was great. I didn't like the Miz's "money-maker" gimmick, but with Mizdow, it is kind of funny

I am getting tired of Paige. AJ is definitely carrying that rivalry.

I like Ambrose vs Rollins. I think that is the best storyline to put Cena in at this point.

Bunny is a fun gimmick

I disagree with WWE World Heavyweight Championship. As long as Rollins has the MITB briefcase, the belt will be relevant.

They kept the Wyatts-Usos rivalry way too long.

I think they messed up with the Funkadactals. They are great.

I like how The Bunny has taken over the Rose Buds. He/she actually has better ring skills than Adam Rose.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

BTW how funny would it be if The Bunny turns out to be a chick?

 

[anotheridiot]

Bunny is gonna end up being somebody. He had some moves in the ring. Maybe its sin cara.

This has got to be the worst theme song in the history of the WWE...

I think Brie's new theme song is awesome actually. It wouldn't work for Brock Lesnar, but it does for her lol

Brock Mode!

Would be sweet to see Brock walk down the aisle while Brie Mode is playing in the background.

Did anybody see Lana's skirt with the slit in it last night??????????

Since she is being portrayed as the "good girl", it works for me. It wouldn't work if she was a heel.

Brock Mode!

Before Brock Mode, there has to be a Brock Sighting.

True it works for her.

Tonight was a decent RAW. I just wish a full time wrestler was WWE champ(even Cena, I was rooting for him last night). The WWE title storyline needs to be the main focus of your show and for the past 5 years it really hasn't been.

I don't know. I'm of the mindset that the belt becomes more special if it's only defended on PPV. What they should be doing is taking advantage of having a champion that isn't on TV all the time and start coming up with better angles for the other titles and put a shine on them, not to mention guys who are wallowing in the mid/lower card. The more guys they can get over, the fresher they can keep feuds and the more guys they can make money with in the future. I mean, they do have three hours to work with.

Or, they could go back to a two hour Raw that starts at 9, with a 1 hour live episode of NXT as the lead-in, but that's probably asking too much.

DC: I agree. I think Brock making rare appearances can work and only wrestling at PPVs can work. But they have to 1) Have him compete at every PPV (and why wouldn't they want to? He's a huge draw). If they skip one here and there it doesn't work IMO. 2) He has to make more appearances on RAW. Maybe every other week.

The other thing they are screwing up is they seem to have no clue who Brock's next feud will be with. Might want to figure that one out soon.

That's the problem when you don't cultivate enough top shelf talent. They want Brock to look unbeatable when he gets to Wrestlemania, so that whoever he drops the strap to (likely Reigns) gets made in the process. The problem is, Brock has beaten most of the top guys already (not in his recent run) or they've been made to look really weak over the years (looking at you, Big Show). If they hadn't cut Cesaro's momentum, I would suggest a feud with Brock. Ditto Bray Wyatt.

Yeah, they almost have to do Cena Round III (for this year). Sheamus would have been okay, but not while holding another belt.
