With Super Show-Down right around the corner, both RAW and Smackdown Live! have picked up the pace. With three huge shows coming up, they are starting to build toward all three and it has led to a couple good weeks of television in a row.

RAW has put together an intriguing program with The Shield vs. Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre and has added to the story well with the heels pressing Dean Ambrose about his role within a trio that includes the Universal Championship and Intercontinental Championship while he is left empty handed.

The result is a fun six-man tag match between the six at Show-Down that could further deteriorate things for the Lunatic Fringe.

The problem on RAW right now is that outside of those six men, the show is really struggling. They had Riott Squad go against The Bellas and Natalya this week in an attempt to make them seem like a threat to Ronda Rousey, and in the process, Brie Bella went Brie Mode and hurt another solid worker by kicking Liv Morgan in the face.

If they think this paints anyone as a threat to Rousey, they are sadly mistaken.

Meanwhile, there is just a ton of talent not being given the amount of time they deserve on Monday nights. Finn Balor just being used to split up Jinder Mahal from Samir Singh seems like a waste of three people who have shown they can perform at a high level.

Kevin Owens is still finding a way to shine and it is a pleasure to watch every week. Is he good enough to raise Bobby Lashley? Probably not, but Lio Rush might be enough to help Lashley get over.

Just a weekly reminder that this show has too much talent and seems to lack the writing creativity to make them all compelling. Tuesday nights do not have that same issue.
