WWE Raw October 1 2018 – Highs and Lows

“You know what’s funny? I could be Intercontinental Champion right now.”

And he wasn’t done there, the absolute MENTALIST. He later said the same thing to Reigns:

“If I wasn’t such a nice guy, I MIGHT be Universal Champion right now.”

These were in reference to Ambrose opting not to fight either of his Shield brothers last night, which takes us nicely into our first Low…

Low: Completely backwards decision making

Before Ambrose’s match with Strowman that we just touched on, he was given three match options by Acting Raw GM Baron Corbin:

1. vs. Seth Rollins for the IC Title
2. vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal Title
3. vs. Braun Strowman

The first act of idiocy here was Ambrose asking for a match against Baron Corbin instead, despite the fact that there was more chance of Corbin turning into Phil Mitchell off EastEnders than accepting that match.

The former Constable then decided Ambrose would take on Strowman instead of either of his Shield brothers. That’s both kinda understandable – because Braun’s really big – and kinda not – because surely Corbin would want the Shield to implode?

Anyway, that all happened and Corbin made Roman vs. Ziggler and Rollins vs. McIntyre as everyone interfered. Which was fine but is one of those things that irritates a lot of people, in that there was clearly about 90 minutes of this show that had been left completely unplanned and empty prior to it starting.

Before Roman took on Ziggler, he declared that he wanted to put his Universal Championship on the line, which would have actually been really bloody cool. Corbin though, said he couldn’t. Why? Wouldn’t Corbin want Roman to lose the title? Wouldn’t Ziggler be a bit pissed that Corbin took the opportunity away?

There were just too many nonsensical things going on here, and it pretty much ruined the main narrative of the show, which was very unfortunate indeed.
