WWE: Twitter Reactions to the Latest Edition of Raw: December 18, 2017 1

Last night’s WWE Raw missed Roman Reigns’ presence a lot to say the least. The franchise player of the company was not advertised to appear at the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island, previously and the booking did not change, either. So, The Big Dog missed one televised episode, out of nowhere.

To cover up his presence, WWE came up with two segments featuring his Shield brethren, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Rollins competed in two contests on the night. First one was a singles competition, whereas, the second one was a tag team action also featuring Jordan, Samoa Joe, and The Bar.

These segments fell short since it portrayed the calibre of The Architect to a low extent. He was also forced to digest another pinfall loss to Sheamus which will harm his character, going forward. But, at the same time, it was great to see the hot reaction for Samoa Joe from the fans.

Also, the announcement for the Universal Championship match fell short to a great extent since it was quite a predicted one. Also, WWE creative team put on the least effort to come up with the confirmation. It was done by Kurt Angle quickly, as he rushed to avoid a collision inside the ring. So, the crowd definitely did not get them involved in this announcement, as expected earlier.

Hideo Itami’s inclusion was quite confusing since he featured in a segment from the main roster scene. No clarification was further provided whether he will be performing here on WWE Raw or the 205 Live division. There was no need for this confusion, as this indicated the lack of big superstars’ names in the locker room.

The final segment of WWE Raw featured the six-woman tag team match which has become a repeated one and hence the audience was not invested in it, too. The appearance of Stephanie McMahon changed that environment, as she declared the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match. It was the only place where the rest of the two hours’ bad memory got erased. Overall, it was not that great of a show, last night.
