Monday night's episode of RAW has sparked a massive backlash, with many fans labeling it one of the worst shows of 2018. The controversy centers on Baron Corbin, who acted with utter arrogance, going as far as proclaiming himself the General Manager. Corbin spent the night stirring up trouble, including helping Bobby Lashley secure a win over Elias. He didn't stop there, interfering in a handicap match between Drew McIntyre and Finn Bálor. Taking advantage of Braun Strowman's absence due to a hospital visit for an elbow injury, Corbin acted as if the ring was his playground, assisting McIntyre in defeating Bálor.

Leveraging his self-appointed authority as General Manager, Baron Corbin put Alexa Bliss in charge of the RAW Women's Division. Bliss kicked off her tenure by holding an open forum alongside Sasha Banks and Bayley.

As her first official act of business, Alexa Bliss organized a match pitting herself, Sasha Banks, and Bayley against the team of Mickie James, Alicia Fox, and Dana Brooke. Ultimately, the duo of Sasha and Bayley suffered a loss. Much like the rest of the night, this match failed to impress the crowd.

Despite the lackluster wrestling, Nia Jax managed to stir some chaos. She ignited a fresh feud by getting into a heated confrontation with RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey. While the Riot Squad attempted to step in and mediate the tension, the situation ended with Nia becoming the laughingstock of the audience.

Fans were not amused by these antics and took to Twitter to voice their frustration. https://twitter.com/SEVENTEENtheMAN/status/1067268515776860160

The true highlight of Monday's RAW was the stellar performance by Seth Rollins. Competing for the Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler, Rollins had to overcome the opportunistic interference of Dean Ambrose. Despite Ambrose's best efforts to sabotage him, Rollins remained unfazed and successfully captured the title.

The match started with Ziggler in control, but he made a critical mistake by giving Rollins too much time to recover. Seizing the opening with perfect timing, Rollins turned the tide of the battle and emerged victorious.
