WWE Raw matches ranked from worst to best: Ricochet rules, Garza debuts

5. Drew McIntyre vs. Mojo Rawley

Honestly, this just as easily could have taken the Liv Morgan vs. Lana entry.

Whereas Lana vs. Morgan was forgettable and a little awkward, this one was just flat out disappointing. Disappointing for me at least.

I will admit, I’m probably Mojo Rawley’s only fan at this point, which is a shame because I’m a big fan of the guy. Always felt like he had star potential ever since he first turned heel on Zack Ryder during his SmackDown days and cutting the gnarliest of promos on his social media pages.

Rawley had the gift of gab, but a long stretch of losses, a move to Raw and some bizarre blue paint smeared across his face slowed down his momentum. But in his new quest to legitimize the 24/7 Championship, notoriously a comedy belt, I felt like this opened the door for his career to be salvaged. Maybe there was still time for the former NFL defensive lineman to shine.

NOPE. Big fat nope, right there.

Here, take your Claymore, buddy, and scoot on.

My lord, the guy could not have been booked as more of a geek and an afterthought here. Drew McIntyre cut a promo addressing Brock Lesnar while his opponent remained idle in the background. Which, why Rawley never blindsided McIntyre in mid-promo is beyond me, but it cost him in the end.

As a squash match by its own merits, I can’t rate this too poorly as it’s just a squash match. It’s not meant to be anything special but a means to make the number one contender to the WWE Championship look strong and it succeeds in that regard.

But as an unapologetic fan of Mojo Rawley, this was a travesty.
