Currently watching Raw and am I the only one who feels they are handling the Swagger and Del Rio feud perfectly, or at least better than they have a lot of most recent fueds? As far as I remember they haven't blown their load by having them even face each other yet, let alone multiple times leading up to a PPV match. I like that there has just been interview segments, backstage interactions and so on without actually having them face each other yet. I hate how they try to hype up a match that we have seen 13 times over the course of the month leading up to the PPV.

New Day on commentary = highlight of any WWE program

I'm just really pumped that Dreamer is back. Did you guys hear that pop!? Im convinced the only reason they popped that loud is because they thought it was gonna be spike since the dudleyz said "you have you family and we have ours" |

Only 54 pages, eh? I expect another 'Low RAW rating' thread...  |

Kevin Owens wasn't on Raw? WTH? well this was the "look at the lack of depth" and "let's build the heel side" show. I like the New Day but they were over used this week. Vince's strategy is working since the crowd was into Reigns again this week minus the main event.

The one thing which confused me is what was the point of the title match tonight if Roman still gets his opportunity at TLC? Sheamus didn't wanna wait til TLC so defended his title tonight instead, retained his title and then said on the mic that Roman will just have to wait til TLC? From a kayfabe standpoint and as a heel with Authority's backing surely he's given Roman his rematch so now he shouldn't have to face him again?

The quality of RAW has skyrocketed since Sheamus was made champion.
Long live the Celtic Warrior! Long live entertainment!

I honestly think that opening segment was the best segment on RAW in at least a decade.

Much better Raw last night than in previous weeks. Love the Swagger-Del Rio fwud, Sheamus as champ is cool, New Day Rocks, Rusev and Lana are back and better than before. Dudleys-Wyatts was already awesome, now with Dreamer even better! Lot of potential!

So are they just going to use old Road to Wrestlemania storylines from the video games? Can't wait for Cena to return with his good buddy Tony and take a shot at the tag titles.
I also feel like the Wyatts are about to lose another feud, and it sucks.

I just watched RAW on Hulu and I thought RAW was pretty good and I love the New Day being so involved in everything.
Also they are doing a FANTASTIC job of setting up some solid Survivor Series matches. It's too bad that PPV was two weeks ago.

Absolutely dreadful Raw. Banks/Bella was one of the worst matches I've seen in a long time (I love Sasha too, was just so bad) and using Sheamus/Reigns twice in ring in one night... god. WWE must be desperately trying to sabotage their own ratings.

RAW was much better than last week. But I don't think New Day needs to be in EVERY segment. You don't want to over expose it, and it's getting close.
Other than that, I felt like it was a solid show. The matches were good quality, and none of the segments or storylines were too crazy or illogical....Sheamus's group is straight out of Smackdown vs. RAW 2011, though, but other than that it was a decent show.

Raw was mostly uninteresting with a side of tolerable, which, I guess is a pretty positive thing these days.
A couple of strong positives to take away:
-Sheamus is really making the most out of his situation. Good for him. I like the guy as a solid mid-card hand, and I still don't think he belongs in this role, but he's at least doing his best. His work last night was among the best stuff he's done since returning. For the love of all that is decent, though, get rid of the stupid beard braids. The mohawk is fine. The rest isn't.
-Planting the seeds for a Charlotte heel turn is the right way to go. I don't know how they get themselves out of the Paige scenario without making Paige look like the more sympathetic one, but Charlotte is failing as a babyface and it's time to pull the plug on it. Kudos to them for recognizing that. Too bad they can't see the same in their main event scene.
As for the strong negatives:
-Not featuring Kevin Owens on a 3 hour show with as many injuries as they have is ludicrous. It's flat out unacceptable. He doesn't even have to work a match. Given him 90 seconds backstage with Renee to talk about Ambrose, and maybe, you know, remark on the fact that Ambrose was doing something else entirely and not focusing on his big title match in two weeks. It's so remarkably simple. There's just no excuse for him not being utilized. None.
-Using a dangling carrot to get the fans to cheer for Reigns is just about the saddest thing I've ever seen. First, they have to pit him against a guy who is less over than he is, and when that doesn't work as well as they want it to, they resort to taking away matches people want to see involving wrestlers they like unless they favor Roman Reigns to win. It's unbelievably pathetic.

I can't for the life of me, understand where people are getting that Sasha Banks is anything special in the ring from. As far as I can see, she's clearly not as good as Charlotte, Becky or Paige.

I'm not a fan of her either, but I can appreciate her in ring work. I personally think she is far above Paige though. Paige is, in my opinion at least, the worst on the main roster not named Naomi, Tamina, or Brie Bella. Sasha's cool though, I'm just not a fan. Charlotte is okay. I have trouble liking her due to her only character trait being "Ric Flair's daughter". Becky is really good. Really, really good, but she needs to find herself on the mic. |
