Welp, that went south quickly.
Raw opened with a very hyped segment between new Universal champion Seth Rollins and new WWE champion Kofi Kingston. At the end of the first 10 minutes of Raw, both Kingston and Rollins agreed to put their titles on the line in a winner take all scenario later in the night.
In the main event of the Raw after WrestleMania 35, both Rollins and Kingston showed up tired but the champions were still able to tease something bigger happening on Monday night.

The bigger path off for the main event of Raw was......The Bar. Yes, WWE worked fans up only to present them with Cesaro and Sheamus running out and halting the title versus title match in it’s track.
Horrible.
Following The Bar’s interference, all four men were put in a rough spot and the Raw live crowd ate them alive. An impromptu tag match was started and the crowd reacted with boos, chants of CM Punk, beach balls being tossed, and chants for AEW to top it all off.
Eventually Rollins and Kingston would get the win, and Barclays Center eased up a bit with their displeasure.

It’s fine that Seth Rollins versus Kofi Kingston didn’t come to a clean finish, but couldn’t WWE have done something other than send out The Bar to ruin it? Anything?
