The only thing i enjoyed about Raw was Triple H vs. Dolph Ziggler. Classic match.

Triple H's attempt to cut Roman's promo for him was interesting, but it didn't work. You can't sell the underdog story toppling the authority angle when he's already done it, then failed, then done it again, then failed again. Furthermore, you can't do it when the audience is effectively cheering for the Authority because they dislike Roman Reigns so much.
They're going to stay true to their original idea, which, they essentially have to at this point, and then they're going to feed downtrodden, tired guys like Bray Wyatt and Ryback to Reigns in the hopes that they pick Roman over them. If they don't, I literally have no idea what they do. Either they continue tanking their entire main event scene, or they give up on Roman once for and for all.

I don't see the hype in Ziggler/HHH. It was a good match, don't get me wrong, but I don't think it was anywhere near great.

Was I the only one hoping Ziggler turned heel and joined the Authority? I really enjoyed their match. Also, the Undertaler and McMahons segment was terrible IMO. Seemed sloppy and didn't really do much for me.

Seemed sloppy and didn't really do much for me. Personally I feel Shane has no business being in the ring now. Watching him last night and a week or two ago when security was supposed to take him out of the ring...I realized the punches from his beatdown were actually worse than Ambrose's catfight girl slap beatdowns. At least Ambrose looks like they connect every once and a while. Shane's are all noticeably air punches where the security guard and Taker clearly must have sustained damage from the air pressure.

Right?? Those flurries of 'punches' he throws look terrible. I know he's going to have some 'wow' moments during their match but I feel there will also be plenty of cringe worthy as well.

Roman's MASSIVE pop was hilarious. I burst out laughing when he was met with silence...then boos...and boos...and more boos.
Also, gutted for Neville. Terrible time to get injured. Hope they scrap the IC Title ladder match they were planning and just go with Zayn vs Owens.

Here is my big problem with Reigns/HHH now. A few weeks ago, HHH beat the living crapout of Reigns. Beat him to a bloody pulp. Last night, Reigns beat the living crapout of HHH, Beat him to a bloody pulp. People have already essentially seen everything they need to see between these 2. Their match at WM will be a regular match where we wont see any brawls or blood. People have already seen these 2 beat the out of each other. So exactly why should i be interested in this match? I understand Reigns cant talk to save his life but save the ing physical crapfor the match and let the promo and storyline work build up to the match.

I thought Triple H's promo on "Hope" was fantastic. That was without a doubt what I found the most entertaining last night. The match with Dolph was terrific also. My friends were over for a Fantasy Baseball draft and I was watching this promo and they were like "I see why you like this. It's like he's speaking directly to YOU". LOL

My thoughts on RAW...
1) Remember that time Roman won superstar of the year after only wrestling like 5 times the whole year.....WWE has no agenda with this man (to avoid confusion, this is sarcasm)
2) On the plus side, Brie Bella finally has something in common with Daniel Bryan! ....now they both can't wrestle

Also I enjoyed HHH vs Dolph. It was a good match. Not great. But that didn't matter to me because HHH wrestling on Raw was a nice little bonus I wasn't expecting.

HHH vs Dolph was the best thing on Raw for a long time. People meme the out of "shovel Triple H bury shovel bla bla" but the man is pure talent in the ring and knows exactly what he's doing once the bell sounds. Reigns looked jacked but no one cares, Ziggler and Ambrose got bigger reactions. Apart from that, was a pretty nothing show. Huge fan of the Shane/Taker angle but they didn't have a memorable segment last night.

Triple H was busted open the hard way. He got 6 staples.
Apparently that ref he threw thar thing at had to get stitches.
Papa Shango cursed WWE.

Had a great time at Raw last night, love the surprised of Triple H wrestling a match, never thought I see that live again.
Reigns got a pop when his music hit, but it quickly turned to boos. I think it was a "yay he's here so we can boo him" pop.
I wanted to see Lesnar actually do something. That's the second time I've been to a Raw with him on and all he's done is just walk around the ring. Feels like a waste of an appearance.
Seeing The Undertaker live is a surreal experience, even if it wasn't that great of a segment, it may be the last time I'll see him live, so I loved it for that reason.
Overall, one of the better shows I've seen live, and one of the better recent episodes of Raw.

Because you get to see Reigns FINALLY get the big one (for the 3rd time) after all this torment he's been put through (none) and after a few weeks with no title (just wrong)

Nothing again too memorable at all from Raw, although Triple H in action was a good surprise although I'm still not sure they went about it the right way. If Reigns had cost Triple H the match it may have got him a better reaction as Ziggler would have won. The beatdown was fun to watch, but at this point nobody simply cares. On a side note, I thought Triple H was legitimately concussed for a little while after taking that DDT on his head. Was dazed and kept trying things to buy himself time like instantly getting Dolph out of the ring for a 9 count etc. I look at him busting himself wide open and being gassed out after matches and genuinely begin to wonder if deep down he's had enough of it all now.
It also became even more clear that the Undertaker vs Shane angle is just a mess and becoming so hard for them to make this story actually work. We know on paper, it works as the match will be entertaining and Shane will have a few big spots and we'll get some run-ins, but the build just isn't working and it's getting clearer for everyone else to see. They're trying to make a big angle out of it with Vince & Shane, but it doesn't really have any long term gain. The match is just a fun alternative for Taker at Mania at the end of the day, a better option than a standard match vs Jericho or Owens, but the whole angle has already gotten so confusing. Plus, Vince was meant to be deeply involved in the Reigns angle, as is Stephanie, who keeps getting brought into the Shane situation. It's one big cluster.
Lastly, what are they thinking by going with New Day vs League of Nations, and then Dudleys vs Usos?! Why on earth do they not just have all of four in a TLC or Ladder Match or something to dress the undercard up at least? I'm OK with Ryback vs Kalisto because the Pre Show needs it. Still genuinely have no idea what the Wyatts are going to do on the Card though. New Day vs The Wyatts could actually have been a really entertaining programme if they went with that.
Brock Lesnar vs Dean Ambrose will be the show stealer I'm sure of it. Was a nice touch from Foley to pass Barbie on. This Match has potential to be really violent, especially as Lesnar can take it. He should still win this in my opinion though, but Ambrose should earn his respect afterwards. It should absolutely be this generation's Undertaker vs Jeff Hardy.

My guess is the Wyatts do a run in during the Lesnar match and cost him the win. If they have no match on the card it's almost a certainty that's what they are doing. Unless they use them in a segment with Rock or someone

Eventually everyone that's ever been in WWE will be in the Hall of Fame Even Zombie from the first episode of WWECW? Wouldn't surprise me
