I think that's why they decided to have a women'S TLC match as well this year, because of this situation where they knew this would probably end up being just a angle still match instead of a actual tlc match which in a way it's a shame. Anyway, i still feel like the pushing this baron corbin having a huge ego storyline way to hard just to keep him in this position after the PPV. you really need for all of this to blow up in his face somehow for this angle to work. Corbin's time as the authority figure is done, he did a good job with it but i feel going into mania, you need to have somebody that feel more credible and is able to work off stephanie a little bit more then corbin does.
I think Raw is going to have to change directions because, in my opinion, they've been putting out some of the worst shows in the show's history over the last half year or so. The heel authority angle is something that's long since played out and Corbin, while he's done a good job, has been featured
FAR too much and he just doesn't have remotely the sort of steam, credibility or overall ability to be
THE top heel on Raw.
Which Corbin isn't the only problem, of course, as a lot of people just aren't being used in particularly interesting or entertaining ways and/or too much emphasis is being put on people who just don't have the ability. Instead of Lashley being the badass, the legit badass at that, that he can be, he's a one dimensional muscle man who's personality is limited to posing. Dean Ambrose is all over the place in that one week he's a badass, the next week he's a hypochondriac, then he's a standard chicken shit heel and it's making him look silly rather than menacing. The Riott Squad are about as menacing and chaotic as kids on a Disney Channel sitcom. Alexa Bliss, in my opinion, should be a heel manager to someone while she's recovering instead of being yet
ANOTHER heel authority figure. Tamina Snuka has all the entertainment value of a week old corpse. Nia Jax has become fairly interesting but it's sort of a turn off seeing her cower from a woman that's literally about half her size, even if that woman's Ronda Rousey, as she's supposed to be this badass destroyer of the Raw women's division. The tag team division is the lowest it's been in years as nothing feels like it matters; you've got all the nonsense of the Lucha House Party, and it's almost painful to hear Renee young try to defend the "logic" of the "rules" they've used during their bouts with the Revival. These are two teams that could have a legit feud that results in some genuinely great matches but they're little more than comedy filler. AOP is just another couple of guys on the roster and their first tag title feud gets overshadowed because Vince finds pee pee jokes funny. Finn Balor has been absolutely wasted on Raw due to being booked in one filler, dead end mid-card feud after another; we've probably seen him wrestle Jinder Mahal in some capacity 8 to 10 times on Raw or ppvs this year.
