The Nov. 26 edition of WWE Raw was a pretty boring show from top to bottom, but in the midst of a rather weak show, there were a few noteworthy moments to take away.
Last night’s WWE Raw was hard to watch for much of it because of sheer boredom, but every show offers something worth noting and this show was no different with TLC a few weeks away.
The red brand is in a strange state right now and heading into the new year, something is drastically needed to shake things up. Let’s take a look at five key takeaways from the Nov. 26 edition of WWE Raw.
5. The Raw Tag Team Championship Picture Is Reaching An All-Time Low
It seems like a long time ago that the Raw Tag Team Championship picture was red-hot with superb match after superb match featuring some of the best tag teams in the world. However, the current scene is a far cry from what the division offered even a year ago.
These tag team titles haven’t been taken seriously in a long time, but it seemed like a step in the right direction giving The Authors Of Pain the titles when Akam and Rezar dethroned Seth Rollins and absentee partner turned enemy Dean Ambrose. However, since AOP has held the gold, nothing meaningful has come out of it outside of one pay-per-view match with The Bar at Survivor Series.
AOP defended the Raw Tag Team Championship last night against Bobby Roode and Chad Gable in a match that turned out to be more of a comedy act than anything. AOP manager Drake Maverick urinating himself at Survivor Series has turned this powerful duo into a joke as of late, but nothing compared to what took place last night.
Maverick took Roode’s robe backstage and when it looked like Roode had things in his teams’ favor, Maverick was shown backstage urinating on his robe. This led to AOP getting the upper hand back and retaining the tag team titles. This championship picture is rapidly reaching an all-time low and turning AOP into a joke is unacceptable.
Everything about the tag team division on Raw feels insignificant right now, but when the tag team championship scene reaches that point, something needs to change.
