Last week’s RAW didn’t just get slammed online — the backlash has now reached WWE’s creative team. WrestleVotes Radio reports that several writers are feeling the heat after the July 27 episode, which was supposed to be a major night for the company.
The timing made everything worse. Netflix executives were in the building, watching a show that quickly fell apart. The opening segment struggled with microphone issues, and the Fall From Grace spot didn’t land the way it was planned. Things didn’t improve from there.
The Joe Hendry and Danhausen concert became another internal talking point, and Ryan Garcia’s cameo didn’t help. According to the report, his appearance landed with a thud backstage. Some questioned what he added to the segment, while others wondered why WWE wanted him involved at all given the baggage surrounding him in recent months.
Fans echoed those same frustrations. The YouTube clip was hammered with negative feedback, social media piled on, and Cagematch buried the episode. Now the criticism has made its way behind the curtain.
WWE RAW creative pressure
The fallout has reportedly created a tense atmosphere heading into SummerSlam weekend. With WWE’s new partnership under the spotlight, last Monday’s misfires became a reminder of how quickly things can go wrong — and how many eyes are now paying attention.
