On WWE Raw this week, a handful of superstars had a rough night. Who needs to find a way to bounce back?

As much as we’d all like to think everything is sunshine, roses, and kittens, sometimes people hit a rough patch. It’s no different for WWE superstars. Sometimes, they’re just in a funk. After WWE Raw this week, there’s a few superstars who fall into this category.

This isn’t to say there’s no hope for these particular superstars to come back to the promised land. It’s WWE – things can change in a heartbeat. But at the present, here are three superstars who are in need of a big boost in the coming weeks.

Kurt Angle

When he was first named Raw General Manager back in April, Kurt Angle was one of the best on-screen authority figures in a long time. He initially bucked the trend of doing the expected – if four guys were in the ring, he did’t make a tag team match, for example. Angle made decisions with logic, reasoning, and an eye on what would come down the road. In short, Angle was looking out for the good of his brand.

Fast forward to this week on Raw, and Angle has lost control of his ship. I mean that literally – he made a personnel decision to fire Braun Strowman, and was immediately overturned by Stephanie McMahon. Like, an hour later. So Kurt clearly has no power here anymore.

Beyond that, though, did Angle ever give the impression that he was in charge this week? Even coming down to the ring to fire Strowman for his grappling hook adventure, Angle seemed like a shell of his former self.

When you factor in Jason Jordan having Angle wrapped around his little finger, it’s not too much of a stretch to say that Kurt needs to turn things around if he’s going to be an effective GM much longer. It’s time to get back to basics and forget all the nepotism, and stand up for himself to Stephanie McMahon.

So I guess we’ll be getting a new Raw GM soon.
