Why is the concept of the 24/7 Championship growing old and taking away from more important storylines and matches?
On August 5, WWE RAW aired on television, showcasing some of the best and worst moments of the show. As always, there were ups and downs that left fans feeling both elated and disappointed. Here is a rundown of some of the highlights and lowlights of the show.
Ups:
1. AJ Styles’ Debut on RAW
The show started with a bang as the Phenomenal AJ Styles made his debut on RAW, facing Seth Rollins in a singles match. Fans were excited to see the two wrestlers face-off, and they did not disappoint. The match was action-packed, and both wrestlers put on an impressive performance.
2. Samoa Joe’s Promo
After defeating Sami Zayn in a match, Samoa Joe took the microphone and delivered an epic promo, taunting Roman Reigns about their upcoming match at SummerSlam. Joe’s words were harsh, but they were also powerful and helped to build hype for their upcoming match.
3. Cedric Alexander vs Drew McIntyre
The match between Cedric Alexander and Drew McIntyre was a standout moment of the show. Both wrestlers put on a great match, with Alexander showing off his incredible agility and McIntyre demonstrating his raw power. The match was exciting from start to finish and kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Downs:
1. The 24/7 Championship
The 24/7 Championship continues to be a low point of the show. The constant title changes and chase scenes are getting old, and fans are becoming disinterested. The concept was entertaining at first, but now it feels like a cheap gimmick that is taking away from more important storylines and matches.
2. The Viking Raiders vs Local Talent
The Viking Raiders faced two local wrestlers in a squash match that seemed pointless. The match was over in mere seconds, and it did nothing to further any storylines or character development. These types of matches are becoming all too common on WWE programming, and fans are growing tired of them.
3. The Lack of Women’s Matches
Despite having some of the most talented women on the roster, there were no women’s matches on RAW. This is a major disappointment, especially considering that WWE has a pay-per-view event dedicated solely to women’s wrestling (Evolution) and has made significant progress in promoting women’s wrestling. With so much talent on the roster, it is a shame to see them not given the opportunity to showcase their skills.
Conclusion:
Overall, WWE RAW had its ups and downs on August 5. While there were some great moments, there were also some low points that left fans feeling disappointed. Hopefully, WWE will take note of these criticisms and work to improve future shows. Fans are always eager to see great matches and compelling storylines, and it is up to WWE to deliver them.
