On a side note it sounds like we won't be seeing Bray for a longtime, it sounds like he took a leave from the WWE as he's having some issues dealing with the death of Brodie.
I love Alexa, but I have no clue what they're doing with her anymore, I guess we're going to get a possession like what Bray did to her.
But I can't stand the Riddle pairing with Orton.
In the Captain's fast forward timer, I got through 3 hours or Raw in about 40 minutes.

Agree with all of that. What has always made wrestling storylines fun was the element of surprise. I mentioned Bray because having him come out (as Bray Wyatt) would have instantly made him a face. I have no idea what Bray Wyatt is anymore. A face? A heel? No idea. He's just there.
Having Cena answer the challenge last night would have been fun ( and I dislike Cena). Having Brock answer the challenge last night would have been fun. (I realize that both of those wouldn't happen, but hopefully you get what I'm getting at) Having someone from NXT answer the challenge would have been fun.
There were plenty of ways to go about this. It was a perfect opportunity to add in some surprise/intrigue. Instead, we get kofi. Good grief. Just all around terrible. It's like they've never done this before.
Add to that....as soon as it was announced that this wasn't a "championship match", you already now Kofi is going to win by pinfall. its so obvious.
What is wrong perhaps having Kofi win by pinfall and then announcing afterwards that it wasn't a championship match. It would have led to more heat on the champion and people would have had sympathy for Kofi. Instead, they give away the ending and nobody gets heat.
