The words "Randy Orton" and "greatest match ever" have never been and should never be uttered in the same sentence.

The Pretty Ricky part was dumb. Charly’s comment at the end was odd. But besides that, I enjoyed the show.

I think they handled the opening segment wonderfully! Giving the title to Asuka and Becky's announcement, both handled very well! Really loved that opening segment! Loved seeing The IIconics back too!

Some thoughts on tonights RAW
- Becky leaving as champion is the best thing that could possibly happen to the women's division. Not because she's leaving, but because nobody will be saddled with the burden of beating "The Man" which, after how much she was put over the last year, is an impossible gimmick to sustain.
- Hey, WWE. I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but kids watch these shows. Kids who are then silly enough to imitate what they see on TV. So maybe stop with the attempted murder/maiming?
- I appreciate the history between Randy and Edge, I really do. I would also appreciate the ability to leave it in the past.
- (Bernie Voice) I am once again asking you to stop ignoring the brand split.
- As an individual with mental illness, I do find it intriguing they are introducing the concept back into wrestling. But, maybe not go full on "Pillman's Got A Gun" with it? AJ having PTSD was interesting, if a bit odd. Seth dissociating was fine until he snapped and got a bit too violent. See my second comment above. (Note, I'm not saying that Seth trying to blind Rey is anywhere near as bad as Pillman trying to shoot Austin, but I am begging them to not take it much/any farther than this.)
- Ever think that the lines between Reality and Kayfabe are getting a bit too blurred? I'm looking at you Shayna.
- Asuka and Becky made me so dang happy and I think I'm gonna watch that clip about 50 more times and just sit here happy crying.
I'm sure I'll have more thoughts later, but this is what I've come up with for now.

If we weren't in a pandemic, and they had a wildcard rule, I'd be annoyed too. But I think with both rosters having a very limited amount of talent available, it makes sense to have some crossover between talent. For now.
There's only so many times we can see Drew kill Andrade. While a match up with Corbin is new and should be good.

I was at Vengeance in 2004, Edge vs Orton was the best match on the card.(not the best wrestling match ever though lol) seems weird watching them again in 2020, can't be worse than the Wrestlemania match though i suppose.

"Greatest wrestling match, EVER." Hahahahaha. Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh. Somehow I doubt that. One of the funniest and weirdest ending to a Raw EVER, I rewinded it about 20 times.

I am actually really enjoying watching the Raw and PPV shows now without fans there. I hated it at first but now I am totally used to it and it is probably gonna seem weird to see them wrestling in a giant arena again with fans cheering. The way it is now reminds me of the old studio style wrestling shows from the 70s and early 80s.

The way it is now reminds me of the old studio style wrestling shows from the 70s and early 80s. I'm on a certain other website that has a decent sized WWE fanbase... that seems to be almost entirely female or varying degrees of such. I cannot tell you how happy most of them are for the current format. I've heard so many people this past month say "I like this better" and "I'm gonna be mad when it switches back". You do still get ladies comment things like "Imagine how insane the reaction to _____ would have been!", but they are almost always followed by "But I also liked being able to hear what the superstars themselves had to say about it, for a change." And if there is one thing I'm digging, it's the lack of "WHAT?" chants. One little, harmless voicemail message ruined wrestling for the next 20 years. Why couldn't Christian have just answered his phone that day? To think how wonderfully we could have had it.

I personally think the WM match was one of the few bright spots from this years WM. And it was probably my favorite match from the show. Was it a bit long? Yeah, but at least it felt real. I will take that at WrestleMania over a the Firefly Funhouse match or the Hollywood movie boneyard match.

It’s dawned on me that at the moment Asuka has done something that no other woman on the roster has done:
Raw women’s Champion Smackdown Women’s Champion NXT Women’s Champion Women’s Tag Champion Money In The Bank Winner Royal Rumble Winner.
Better not figure that out in WWE Charlotte will win the tag titles next week by herself and they will create a MITB just for her.

And there still are many who cried Asuka was "buried" ever since being called up to the main roster.
