Not The Best Timing. An Injury To A Popular Star Caused Changes To Raw Reunion.

At least that makes some more sense. This week’s Raw Reunion featured all kinds of stars appearing on the show, many of them showing up for the first time in a good many years. While a lot of the legends stuck together, there were a few of them who interacted with the younger stars. One such pairing was a major part of the show, but what we saw wasn’t the original plan.

During Raw Reunion, D-Generation X and the Kliq came out to help Seth Rollins deal with the OC. The segment saw the OC run off from the larger group with Rollins being allowed to do the D-Generation X catchphrase. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the original plans for the segment would have seen Ricochet in Rollins’ place, but Ricochet is currently out dealing with an elbow infection. There is no word on when he will be back in the ring.

It did feel a little random. Check out last night’s segment:

Opinion: That does make a lot more sense as there was little reason for Rollins to get such a big rub. Ricochet is becoming a star but he has a long way to go and an endorsement from so many Hall of Famers might have been a nice boost. If nothing else, at least we didn’t have to waste another Ricochet vs. Styles match, which is likely going to take place again at Summerslam.

How did you like the segment? Would it have been better with Ricochet? Let us know in the comments below.
