Monday Night RAW 11/22/2021
Barclay's Center, Brooklyn, New York
After weeks of RAW featuring wrestling and having strong episodes, tonight’s show undid all that good work. A literal egg hunt was the through line for the show and set up the man event. Talk about stupid. After a strong RK Bro segment and match, RAW went down hill and completely cratered. Is it any wonder that one of the worst shows in recent memory is one where Mr. McMahon had a prominent role?
