people seem to forget that Wrestling IS a TV show and the same way people crap all over shows like "the walking dead" (ugh how many times are they going to just kill off a main character?) (oh lemme guess....the zombies kill this guy) or Lost (the smoke-monster is ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing stupid) or Happy Days (wow, Fonzie is jumping a shark) and regardless of what is written on the internet, the fans collectively decide whether or not they like or dislike a particular character. and when a character you dislike is constantly on the show being made out to be the single greatest thing ever to exist....it's just NOT fun. it doesnt mean the show sucks....but it takes away from the things you want to enjoy.

I love Zayn but he drives me crazy. He's so good at selling that I always think he's legit hurt. I never can tell what's real and what's part of the story. Nerve racking. Its a complete shame he has to be used in filler matches like tonight instead of actually fighting in meaningful feuds and title matches.

I haven't watched Raw yet but followed along on Twitter. It looks like it started off promising but soon it became a case of same old sh*t. No Triple H is disappointing. I was looking forward to seeing what he would say. And can they do anything without injecting Roman ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing Reigns into the mix? My god. I hope with Rollins now being a face that a Reigns heel turn is on the horizon.

I agree. They started setting up a feud i could really get into with Owens/Rollins. I was getting hype as ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) after that opening promo. THEN 3 mins before the show closes, Roman Reigns walks out, Stands in the ring, Doesnt say a thing since he is incapable of talking and gets a title shot for no reason. I went from hype to ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing buzz killed in a split second.

ive been watching monday night RAW every week since it's inception. there's been a few breaks...yes. mid 90's i didnt watch as much, also i think i missed a bunch in 2007-2009 but otherwise it's been every single episode i have EARNED the right to bitch about things i dont like. the same way i can enjoy the things i enjoy. but its hard to enjoy things when the main focus of the show is based around a character and an story behind said character that i just absolutely despise. And the rest of us haven't? I don't mean to get into an argument with you cause i think you're a good guy. My point is, people are complaining about something that hasn't happened. They're complaining based on assumption. When Reigns returned, people assumed Reigns would win and they complained. What happened? Ambrose retained. I get it, you despite Roman Reigns. I'm not a Reigns fan myself, but I'm not going to complain about something that hasn't happened yet. So IMO, we should wait till next week instead of being petty with gifs. Heck if he wins and you go on one if your rants, ill be the first to agree and like it

Raw is a mess. The entire show is filler, and superstars go from doing one thing one week to doing something completely different the next.

No Tong Po for two weeks is a real bummer. Tonight was another Meh show. Rollins/Jericho was BY FAR the highlight of the night. I used to be one of those guys that enjoyed Raw while everyone else was complaining but lately Raw hasn't been very enjoyable for me at all. The continued misuse of The Club, Zayn, New Day, Neville, etc is pissing me the ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) off. I'm a Smackdown guy through and through at the moment. Raw has done three things right since the split. The show Balor debuted on, The use of Bayley and Owens winning last week. If it wasn't for those two things I would view Raw as an utter disaster.

Have you thought of actually waiting till next week before assuming he would added. On Smackdown i assumed Dolph Ziggler would be added to the Ambrose/Styles match at Backlash? But he's not. So honestly, why do you continue watching if you are just going to assume the worst. This rant should have been saved for next week if Reigns does get added. So before you go on the usual "F*** WWE" rant but continuing to watch on a weekly basis, can you just wait till it happens? I think it's great that some people still have hope, and say "wait until next week." But they screwed up with CM Punk and with Daniel Bryan and so many other guys, Dolph, I'd say even Seth and his return so far. Looks like they are trying to screw up Kevin Owens as champ. But they always force Roman (and Cena) on us, even if that's not what the fans want. Hopefully Rusev will attack Reigns next week or something, but you know it's just going to lead to Roman wrestling for that title at yet ANOTHER WrestleMania. Why do we always have to wait until next week? Why can't this week be good?

I was hoping Reigns would not appear tonight. Like i said before, i am not a Reigns fan, but i will not complain about Reigns being added to the title match because it hasn't happened yet. I dislike the mentality of assuming the worst in wrestling. Me, I'd rather stay positive until the negative happens

I don't see Reigns getting in the match. Outside interference from Jericho or Rusev. Owens could use a pinfall win over Reigns, whether it's clean or not.
This is clearly centered around Rollins/Owens. Somehow Seth is gonna get screwed again, finally cementing the face turn at Clash of Champions

Me, I'd rather stay positive until the negative happens I think "hope for the best, expect the worst" is a good strategy to use with the WWE these days. The brand split has not made RAW any better. It's still the same old stuff. SmackDown, however, has been pretty good.

Raw had some good matches but the rest was terrible especially that Old Day segment.

Oofda Raw was bad. The Old Day segment, Sasha's speech, Braun and Nia Jax, all just terrible.

Bo ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing Dallas. How are we supposed to care about this trainwreck of a comedy act. Letting him beat up some jabroni jobber won't halp that, his look is god awful and his voice is more cringeworthy than Vickie Guerrero's... Sin Cara on the other side impressed me with his performance, I wouldn't have thought he would get this much offense. Am I the only one who finds Darren Young running the bottom ropes awkward as hell? I mean, did he not learn how to run the ropes correctly? The show ending with Roman was expected but I didn't miss him AT ALL during the show. (and I'm not a Roman hater...) Rollins' passionate promo was good and his match with Jericho was by far the highlight of the show.
