Following a mixed episode of Monday Night Raw, but a show that featured one of the worst segments in the 30+ year history of the series, a number of people within WWE creative are under pressure, according to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select.

This comes after the July 27 episode of Raw carried added importance within WWE due to the show airing from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California, with several Netflix executives in attendance at the event.

The opening segment featuring Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi building up their Hell in a Cell match was said to not be a good look, with the botched Fall from Grace spot and microphone issues cited.

The Danhausen and Joe Hendry segment that featured boxer Ryan Garcia, as well as the Judgment Day, was also said to have "missed the mark." Garcia's appearance was considered underwhelming and unnecessary due to his recent controversies, which include him making racist and homophobic comments.

The Joe Hendry and Danhausen segment, which saw him perform a song with minihausens and dancers before they were laid out by Ryan Garcia and Judgment Day, has been dubbed one of the worst segments in Raw history.
