WWE RAW -- 5.28.18 -- Official Thread of Officialness

[Cool King]

• I noticed that Michael Cole didn't tell us who Chris Jericho defeated back in 2000 to win the Intercontinental Championship. Usually with Cole's "fun facts" about titles, he tells us all who won the title and who they won it from.

Obviously, Jericho won it from Chris Benoit. It seems that the whole Benoit thing is the only thing WWE can stay dedicated to. Eleven years and still dedicated to something that isn't The Undertaker must be some kind of record for WWE.

• So Nia Jax is a heel again?

And this type of heel is exactly the type of character Alexa Bliss was telling us all about not even a month ago.

So the last two months in the story of Nia Jax meant absolutely nothing then?

• Dana Brooke is hot as all hell. Also, the sky is blue.

• I'm thoroughly enjoying the B-Team.

• I don't mean to be rude, but these terrible mobile phone promos aren't really doing Ruby Riott any favours. She really shouldn't be that close to a camera.

• The B-Team's BBQ was a fun little segment.

Michael Cole really should have muted his mic though. Almost every single word that came out of Curtis Axel's mouth, got Cole snorting down the mic and giggling. It's funny a first, but it gets annoying really fast.

Good work with the cameras and missing the pay-off with the beans over Bo though.

• Oh my goodness. Sasha Banks won the match and is now in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. I did not see that coming. I am shocked.

Not exactly, it did allow WWE to take the very logical story of Asuka taking out the heel champion, winning her first title, allowing the first women's Rumble winner to fulfill the journey, and keeping her undefeated streak to build to an eventual mega match with Ronda and just kill it all.

This allowed Charlotte to add zero to her legacy, lose her title 2 days later, lose her rematch, then go get new fake boobs.

It allowed Carmella vs Asuka, cause why have undefeated Asuka take the title from the best heel female at Wrestlemania when you can have a not undefeated Asuka take it from a comedy type heel female at a random June PPV.

It allowed fat Nia to give a "Be a Star" speech that was booed and wildly panned.

And it allowed fat Nia to act like an armbar submission could never beat her, except for when Asuka did exactly that to her 3 freaking months ago.

It allowed WWE to already go with pushing Ronda like she is the female Roman, cause we all know that works out well in the end.

AND, most important of all, it allowed Stephanie to manipulate both women, including the one that was just 2 months ago beating her up for trying to manipulate her.

That my friends, is why WWE has the best Emmy Award Winning writers, cause they know logic!
