Jeez. Ambrose and Rollins reminds me of when I got back together with an ex years ago. 2spooky4me. Almost had the same arguments for why we should get back together and all. Other than that, it's good to see Ambrose and Rollins back together, those two work so well together. I hope this actually lasts abit so Ambrose doesn't turn on him 2-3 weeks after Summerslam. Nia Jax actually worked as a monster, which she usually doesn't. Good stuff. Overall, decent RAW.

Brock will leave WWE without taking his mandatory one on one rematch Well the Universal title is the title where no one gets a rematch it seems

When Bray brings a knife to a gun fight... I'm actually really digging how they've approached this feud with Balor and Bray. It's super throwback to when guys actually had great gimmicks and neither guy feels out of place in 2017. So getting the Demon vs the Eater of Worlds feels like something kids could recreate with Hasbro figures. I like that kids of now can look back on this as a form of Mankind/Taker. I'm also glad they gave us a reason for Balor needing to harness the Demon, versus him just showing up that way for no reason other than it's SummerSlam. Really loving the Ambrose and Rollins stuff. It's my favorite angle in WWE right now. They have so much real life chemistry. I like that they brawled too. That's what brothers would do. Fight like kids even though they love each other. The Big Show thing was interesting. I guess a way to do Hardys and Show vs Cass and the Good Brothers? Why is Enzo still hanging above the ring? Nobody knows.

Thought RAW was great up until the end segment. I just cant stand the whole Security gets destroyed so lets bring out random superstars shtick they have been doing more than ever.

that ending was crap.
sometimes its OK to just let 2 guys beat each other up before a PPV, you dont have to bring out the entire locker room plus like 15 security guards to "hold the guys back"
this is the same company that almost every TV show leading up to PPVs they put the guys who are wrestling in the main events versus each other in random tag matches or triple threats or even sometimes direct one on ones.
you can't pick and choose when you decided to try and sell a PPV match by not having anyone come to blows beforehand. you can have the guys go at each other for a little bit THEN bring out a ton of people to break it up and close the show, but instead it was like as soon as Braun & Brock were alone they just tried to force create this chaotic moment with security and mid-carders.

I quite enjoyed Nia and Sasha's match, as well as when Rollins and Ambrose stopped milking the Shield taunt and finally gave us what we wanted.
Poor Cass...man did he ramble...
Also good to see the Hardys back. Awesome promo as always by Paul Heyman.
Didn't expect to see Balor doused in "blood" - but there'll be a reason for the Demon paint, which is good.
Not a bad show.

Rollins/Ambrose is exactly whats missing from WWE today. They have history together and they were going in a direction while not forgetting what happened between them. They could have went the route of Ambrose comes to the aid of Rollins and "forgives" him for the Shield break up and it would have been over and done with. Dragging it out the way they did not only gave the fans what they wanted but it built up anticipation.
WWE needs to learn from this. There are plenty other ways to tell a story and as dumb as they think the audience is, they do remember things from the past. This angle is organic and the fans straight up want it.

I find the Demon so pointless. It doesn't feel like he wrestles any different when he puts on the paint. If Balor was significantly more vicious and stiff sure, but he pretty much just does the same thing, but omg he has cool paint on

Hopefully he's allowed to be tougher, no sell a bit, maybe hit his finish twice in a row, etc.

Cause other than the entrance, the Demon Finn Balor is just Finn Balor with body paint

Like Bray hits Sister Abigail and Balor sits up like Undertaker used to do (god that hurt to write 'used'). Just no powerbombs off a Ladder through a table and get up right after. Lio Rush I'm looking at you.

Good to see that I missed absolutely nothing. Most I've seen have said it was a very good RAW. I agree, it was.
