Sooo "the match of the summer" gets two video promos while a pointless steph/bella match closes the show. Okay.. horrible Raw How is it pointless when it's been built up for a while now, I think you mean "while a segment I don't care about closes the show"

Tonight's Raw didn't exactly live up to the hype given the previous two shows, but it was still solid and served its purpose well - which is to build Summerslam into a must-see show.
I have some issue with the Lesnar/Cena match basically receiving no build at all anymore. It's hard to do when you can't get the two guys in the building. The promo was fantastic, don't get me wrong, but hopefully we're going to get something a little more next week.
While I'm unsure about Stephanie and Brie closing the show again, the segment was good, and, as usual, Steph was golden.
The shameless Network plugging was over the top tonight (no pun intended.) I just don't think shoving it down people's throats during the shows is going to drum up the interest they need. If anything, it might turn people off. They've got to find a more creative way to plug it.

Stephanie proving again she is one of the best talkers in WWE.
The Authority is such a great group. And unofficial member Alberto Del Rio needs to become an official member.

I am beyond happy that I slept through Raw tonight, clickly ran through the replay and this has got to be one of the worst builds to Summerslam in history.
First off is there a network available for 9.99 or something? Jesus Christ, I can guarantee that no one is going to go out and buy the network because Triple H plugged it 20 times in his promo.
Cena/Brock should be getting the majority of time on Raw and instead is looking more like an opening/mid-card match at best. I get that both of them have strange schedules for this month but you gotta come up with something better than what they're doing. Even if they did live satellite interviews to close one show, almost like what they did that one episode of Raw with HHH/HBK when it was revealed HHH attacked Shawn leading up to Summerslam 02. Its kind of funny looking back at it now with Cena attacking Rock for bringing it via satellite, well at least Rock brought it at all, Cena is WWE Champion but is going to/has already missed 3 Raw's between Battleground and Summerslam filling in time by not being a part of Raw at all or having a pre-taped segment (most likely done the week before). I'm not the biggest Cena hater on here, but dude is looking like such a hypocrite right now.
Finally, Brie/Stephanie in the final segment again......ugh. At what point are they going to realize that while it is a decent little feud at best, should not be main eventing Raw week after week. Am I the only one that remembers just a few months ago where everyone on here couldn't stand Brie because she was trying to ride the coattails of Daniel Bryan into the main picture? Honestly her promos are repetitive and most of the times painful to sit through. Steph puts on a decent performance but no one is expecting this to be a good match or even fight so why are we seeing this every week in the prime spot. Im looking forward to just about every other match on the card except for this one, yet for some reason it keeps getting the most attention on WWE programming. And the saddest part is, is that after Summerslam both of them are likely going to be back to doing nothing, so its not even like you're trying to promote a superstar for the future. Steph will go back to her authority role and Brie will prob end up feuding with Nikki (rumored) because no way she is gonna be inserted into the great AJ/Paige feud going on.
The only thing I've been enjoying is Ambrose/Rollins, these guys are killing it week after week. Hopefully its a pretty sick stipulation for Summerslam, honestly at this point I think Ambrose could pick anything and still would come off a great match. I'm hoping for a Steel Cage, Extreme Rules, or I Quit. I think both these guys are proving they are the future. If WWE has time to put Steph/Brie in the final segment slot, then is no reason why they couldn't be putting Rollins/Ambrose in the final segments to.......ya know.......promote guys who are actually going to continually be wrestling in main event spots in the future.
Raw is looking less like a wrestling show every week and more like an episode of South Park insulting wrestling for being nothing more than idiots taking jabs at each other.

Another solid Raw I thought, been a good few weeks. I thought/hoped Rose would see Kreuger in the mirror. Very good match between Del Rio and Ambrose, also enjoyed the LMS match but it looks like the beginning of the end for Kane. Not sure what the hell is going on with Cesaro and it looks like the US title won't be defended.

I really hope Stephanie wins at Summerslam. Brie is just annoying enough of her already. Disappointed that Kruger didn't show up in that mirror segment with Adam Rose. Kruger could save a bit of his career at least.

Also noticed Woods/Kingston/E were conspicuously absent. Are they relegating the entire formation of that stable to the B and C shows, or have they just dropped it entirely?

Looks like Cesaro is getting slammed into the ground, atleast they're doing something with Ziggler but I think they are ultimately trying to get Miz over with this, I'll be shocked and happy if Dolph wins at Summerslam. Looks like the Network for 9.99 is the only place we can get wrestling, only 40 minutes tonight. Same as last week. Lesnar's promo was insane though.
