What Happened After the March 12 “Monday Night Raw”?

Worse than something. Last night’s episode of “Monday Night Raw” didn’t feature some names that had been previously announced to appear. Both Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey had been listed as appearing and neither were actually on the show. As it turns out, there was something else advertised that didn’t take place.

This is what the fans got instead.

According to Wrestlinginc.com, there was no post-show dark match despite one being advertised. The scheduled dark match was supposed to see an eight man tag between Kane, the Miz and the Bar teaming up against John Cena, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman. Of those eight, only Kane didn’t appear on “Monday Night Raw” with Rollins and Strowman participating in matches.

Opinion: I can’t say I blame the fans for being upset over this. If you buy a ticket while being told that all of these things are going to be presented and then get nothing, it’s not exactly appealing. Give the fans what they paid to see and stop throwing out these false promises. I don’t know why the match or appearances didn’t take place, but it’s not going to do WWE any favors in the long run.

Reigns wasn’t happy either.
