Loved seeing Sami Zayn back! Also loved what he said after the match.
Lars had a freak accident with Kurt! lol
Plus Lacey Evans done lost her manners by hitting The Man. But she hit Becky with "the women's right" and didn't knock her down.

Wwe these days absolutely sucks. Sucks so bad it’s not worth watching, right? And yet... and yet loads continue to watch and be continually let down but keep watching in the hope that some day something will change.

I wanna capitalise on that Buy One Get One For $1 deal and get Eddie Guerrero’s “Addicted To The Heat” top but cant choose another cause WWE tops are trash smh. I ended up using WWE Shop because Euroshop selection is trash and got The Rock’s Boots 2 Asses t-shirt for £44 + shipping/taxes. It was either that or buy the Eddie and an unwanted top for £30 from Euroshop 🤷🏽♂️ Sucks so bad it’s not worth watching, right? And yet... and yet loads continue to watch and be continually let down but keep watching in the hope that some day something will change. In my case there’s nothing else on at 1am and most nights I can’t sleep, I’ve watched all the Family Guy/American Dad/South Park reruns humanely possible that FOX and Comedy Central air lol

Maybe someone other than Roman will take the title off Brock this year, that’d be a nice change. Although if that happens, people will still probably find something else to complain about the next night. So I’m not sure something changing is gonna make people enjoy the show when they’re dead set on hating it.

This raw was just confusing as heck. It lacked so many lellle but more importantly:
1. Why the hell did Taker just skip the Mania institution for the segment that should’ve been last night? It’s like they had both ideas and thought we will just do one each night.
2. Whichever moron thought building a winner takes all to have The Bar of all possibilities ruin it and think everyone would think they got some quality entertainment is so out of touch it ain’t funny.
Baffling.

I think that's one of WWE's fundamental faults...specifically with regards to Raw. They book things like last night's bait & switch that you would think agents in the back would understand could cause a potential crap show, especially with a smart crowd in Brooklyn. It just makes them look super un-self aware about this type of stuff. I didn't mind the rest of the show, but that main event really left a sour taste in my mouth because of how it was handled. The crowd would have absolutely taken that match as is if it were announced from the get-go. They didn't need to false advertise to generate buzz and then switch it. I feel bad for the Seth, Kofi, Sheamus, and Cesaro because they're all great workers but I don't fault Brooklyn at all for turning on the main event.

WWE is testing the waters of Mania without Cena and Undertaker. Last year they had a soft trial to see if Mania would still draw with an unadvertised Taker/Cena match. This year they straight up left Taker off the card and had no advertisement for a Cena appearance. This way, if Mania slumps they can always bring them back and have another year to build other wrestlers up to garner interest.

Seems there was one last Shield reunion when RAW went off the air. I’m honestly so f’n confused. They write him off as if he’s gonna be staying and he’s starting a feud with Lashley but then they do this? Why wasn’t this a part of the actual show? Last night was garbage

I thought Raw was good right up to the point that the main event was interrupted by the Bar. Even then, I was still waiting for someone to come out after the match was over. I didn’t care for the Lars stuff either I guess but that’s because I don’t care for him.
Glad the Major Bros won, like what they’re doing with Roode, like the idea of Lacey vs Becky, and everything with Sami was great. Even Lashely’s one liner to Dean was a good use of him on the mic. Seeing Taker was great, Cena was even better last night, and through it all, Elias is still super over. Nice to see Alexa wrestle again.
I can’t say I understand the thought process of the main event. Surely they knew the crowd would react negatively to that match. Furthermore, that’s WWE’s opportunity to hook their biggest tv audience of the year and they gave them The Bar. Just an extremely bizarre decision and especially after advertising a special ending.

While it was a good show it didn’t feel like a Raw after Mania.

Well, that was the most underwhelming RAW after WrestleMania, that I can recall. No surprise debuts, no call-ups, and the only return that was a complete surprise is one that I'm long past caring for. Not to mention the baffling main event. What makes the RAW after WrestleMania so special each year are the surprises. The entire night should be full of them. Instead we had nothing. It was just like any other random RAW that could have taken place any other time of the year. The opening segment was good. I groaned internally when they announced the title for title match though. I don't want any title unification. Still, Seth VS Kofi is a fantastic match-up. Not a fan of Hawkins and Ryder retaining their titles. After having their WrestleMania moment, they should have dropped the titles back to the Revival. Plus, what happened to "no more automatic championship rematches"? Why do we have them again? Nice to see Lars Sullivan finally make his debut, even if we all knew it was likely coming last night. I feel he should have brutalised Angle a lot more to really make a statement though. Seems like they're maybe teasing turning the Boss 'n' Hug Connection heel, with Bayley wrestling a far more aggressive style than normal. Yet again though, Bayley couldn't beat Bliss. Bayley really needs to beat Bliss at some point to finally make up somewhat for how poorly Bayley was handled in their 2017 feud. Both Sasha and Bayley deserve far better treatment than they've gotten in the past 2 years, and Bliss has had enough success for an entire career already. I much preferred her in a non-wrestling role. Nice to see Becky given time to give a promo on her big WrestleMania win. And...Lacey Evans interrupts her? After months of having Lacey Evans replace Tamina as the most useless woman on the roster, THIS is what they do to stop their mishandling of Lacey Evans and finally have her actually do something? This is what Lacey Evans should have been doing 2 months ago, not after 2 months of being utterly useless. She's been so useless for so long, she's no longer a credible threat to anyone! Still, it was nice to finally have them use her, and nice for Becky to still stand triumphant after the sneak attack. Nice to see Ricochet and Aleister Black get a win after unfortunately losing at WrestleMania. I still don't understand why on earth Bobby Roode and Chad Gable are a team. I don't have any problems with Lashley's attack on Ambrose. Still not convinced that Ambrose is actually leaving WWE. Why are they devoting any airtime at all to Mojo Rawley? Complete waste of time. Fantastic to see Sami Zayn back, as we all knew he would be returning. Why would they advertise it and not keep it as a surprise though? That took away from it a bit, I feel. But I loved his verbal attack on the audience for being angry smarks! I can totally support that gimmick! Why on earth did Undertaker return? He should have ended his career years ago. I just really cannot get excited to see him anymore, he's far far far past his prime, and it's a bit sad really. The main event was a complete mistake. Why the did the Bar of all people interrupt?! There's absolutely no reason for them to be on RAW at all, let alone interrupting a World title match! I expected a surprise attack on both men to stop the match, but I expected the Undisputed Era, not the Bar! Big missed opportunity there, in my opinion. They completely mishandled most of the show in my opinion. That's the problem with advertising multiple NXT call-ups months ago, and then not doing anything with them until the RAW after WrestleMania. They're no longer a surprise. The RAW after WrestleMania should always be filled with surprises, and we only had a couple, and neither were that great. Absolutely bewildering creative decisions all night long.

The problem with Raw after Mania is for the past few years they hyped it up. There was never any real mention about how crazy the Raw is after Mania until like three years ago.
I feel that if there was never any mention by the WWE about the excitement of the Raw after Mania all those years ago, then nobody would have been expecting big things last night, therefore nobody would have been disappointed.

RAW after WM used to be an amazing show, hot crowds, big surprises, and this year it was a dud.
Why on earth did they not hold back on Black & Ricochet until this RAW? Instead they have these guys wrestling 6/7 nights a week, full on exposure with no backstory for either, losing all their tag title matches, and we're supposed to care they went over Gable/Roode? If they appeared last night for the first time it would have blown the roof.

Dont have time for a full review right now, but Im convinced some of you guys on here would never be happy with anything WWE does! I thought Raw was a solid show last night- a few surprises, good pacing, a fresh feeling with Rollins and Kofi both being on the show and as champions, etc. I was satisfied and looking forward to SDL.

If this was a RAW in the middle of September, this would have been great. But it's RAW after Mania dude!
