Really, this was just a placeholder show. They didn't do anything egregious, nor did they really promote or execute anything worth going out of your way to watch. So, no surprise. We're in a bit of a holding pattern now.

It was dreadful to watch last night. It felt like 12 hours instead of 3. I actually fell asleep during the 3rd hour.

The Royal Rumble was FANTASTIC and so was the Raw after. Now, the product is crapagain. They're ignoring many storylines that could've come out of the Royal Rumble. Specifically Owens vs. Styles.

This is my biggest issue at the moment, They had laid the foundation for a quick AJ/Owens feud heading into Fastlane and they blew it.

No. They're saving the feud and not throwing it away on a nothing show. Also not having one of the guys lose momentum going into WrestleMania.

Last week's episode: good. Good ratings.
This week's episode: not so good. Not so good ratings.
It's basic math, Vince. But sometimes I don't believe that he understands that quality will bring in quality but meh.

You can easily tell a great story without having them face each other each week. They could do promos to each other, backstage segments, and Owens could easily interrupt AJ's matches. AJ has also been hinted with feuding with Jericho and now the Miz. It's just a mess.

No Sheamus, Bray, Triple H, was Vince there? AJ didn't wrestle. It was an okay show, but was definitely not "Must see".

Promote the next week's show instead of just having it happen week by week. That way, only diehards tune in because "Monday is Raw night" not because "Oh yeah, I can't wait for Styles vs. Owens. I've been hyped since they announced it two weeks ago". I'm almost certain they promote SmackDown's future matches better then they do on Raw.

AJ has also been hinted with feuding with Jericho and now the Miz. It's just a mess. It's not a mess at all. AJ's feud with Jericho has been pretty well done so far to this point. Miz is apart of the Jericho feud. Seriously, watch Smackdown. Also, Kevin Owens threw AJ out in the Rumble, not the other way around. At this time, Kevin Owens has no reason to really want to feud with AJ. AJ is busy proving he belongs in WWE and he's doing that by beating guys like Axel and Miz, and then he'll really emphasize that at Fastlane when he proves his win against Jericho wasn't a fluke. Owens and AJ will likely both win at Fastlane and then you'll see them go full speed at each other for Mania. I'm not counting out the IC Title being involved either. Why on Earth would AJ and Owens be cutting promos on each other right now? What basis does Owens have for running out for AJ matches? They're feuding with other people. If you want to have a small encounter between the two prior to Fastlane, just to remind everyone that we are headed in that direction, sure, why not. WWE is making plenty of poor decisions right now, but how they're handling that pending feud isn't one of them.

One of the main problems with todays WWE is that they save too much for PPV's. During the AE you used to get huge blockbuster matches on Raw which kept you hooked but now the shows basically became an advert that teases big PPV matches and it sucks.

Raw was bad so the ratings justify. We got a bunch of Midcard matches with 0 storyline behind it

Nobody wants to watch Ramen flop around the ring screaming and running and punching.
If he spears Dean for the win at Fastlane fans won't be too amused.
Completely unrelated:
I just realized that Seth Rollins is a triple crown winner.

Raw needs enhancement talent matches back to keep these guys away from each other during feuds. Jesus. Everybody has already fought 100 times before in 95 tag team matches that's why nobody cares.
