Sheamus/Lee was really good. I been really enjoying Sheamus the last couple months.
Riddle is the best thing about RAW imo.
Ali/Ricochet had another good match,really like to see them be a tag team.
Another good segment from Randy and Bliss

Alexa is fine... she's a great character actor - as is Wyatt - nobody's been "ruined". Honestly - other than so you can come in here and bitch and whinge every week, about how much you hate this company, I don't know why you even watch at this point... you sound like a broken record. It’s a discussion forum..for discussion. If you don’t like what I have to say you’re more than welcome to ignore it and move on. I never come and say how much I hate WWE lol I just give my opinion on the company when I think they’re doing stupid stuff. Guess you missed the posts where I’ve praised Hurt Business, NXT, and Smackdown? Because I hate WWE soooo much, right? You’re a clown and always have been Ignore him, he's a cloud of negativity not worth replying to. Alexa is terrible for this role imo. She just doesn't fit the character at all.

That Ricochet/Ali match was awesome as expected. I know the entire sequence with Retribution getting involved made the ref look like a ing moron, but it seems to actually be serving a purpose and getting both Ricochet and Ali involved in a meaningful program and allowing them to go out and put on clinics like they should be, so I'm game. Nit picky me wishes Ricochet had used the word never instead of not when he was rejecting the offer, but meh. This Alexa stuff seems to be really polarizing. Not in terms of the story itself, but her acting abilities. People (not just here) seem to either think she's an amazing actress bound for Hollywood, or an absolute dumpster fire. Not a lot of in the middle opinions. Just interesting. Personally I think she's doing really well with it, and she seems to be enjoying it. I'd rather she was still with Nikki though, because I freaking loved that pair.

I'd rather she was still with Nikki though, because I freaking loved that pair. Having Ricochet lose to every member of Retribution is pointless if he's not going to be a broken soul afterwards and join them. Instead they had him look like a loser every week and lose to every member and then try to get some cred back by refusing to join them. Does that really help him at all? I don't think that did anything for Ali either. Ricochet's a face. He's supposed to struggle, and suffer, and in the end overcome the odds and beat Jason, Bane, and The Predator to set up the big match with Mustafa. Have Mustafa weasel a stipulation in where if Ricochet loses he HAS TO join Retribution. They "intimidated" their way into the company." Make them "intimidate" Adam Pearce into giving them what they want. That's their gimmick. From there you've got a "big match" with something on the line between 2 guys who can get it done. That does plenty for both guys and could set up a bunch of different outcomes. Ricochet has the advantage but Retribution cheats and now he has to join a group he hates. Fun stories await. But instead we get Ricochet is a loser and Retribution are such losers that Ricochet doesn't want to join them. I agree they'll put on a show in the ring. Everything surrounding it though once again smells like a construction site outhouse on a hot summer day. I go back and forth with the Alexa stuff. When she's doing the monotone, dead stare delivery she comes across as a believable brainwashed cult psycho who wants to hurt people. When she's doing the giggly, high pitched talking, smiley act see comes across as Alexa Bliss trying to act, and Alexa Bliss acts the way a construction site outhouse smells on a ......... You get the point. I 100% agree about Nikki Cross. They had a ton of chemistry. If this Fiend stuff was a "must idea" I wish they would have given it to someone else and kept Bliss and Cross together.

But instead we get Ricochet is a loser and Retribution are such losers that Ricochet doesn't want to join them. I agree they'll put on a show in the ring. Everything surrounding it though once again smells like a construction site outhouse on a hot summer day. I totally get what you're saying, but I'm seeing this story a bit different. I don't think they've made him look like a loser every week (though it could turn south and become that in hindsight in a hurry!). Every match he loses to them it's because he has to deal with all of them, not just the person in the ring. Ali's been trying to recruit him that way by showing him strength in numbers, and embracing his dark side. Ali was in a very similar position to Ricochet before, just for way longer. Ridiculously talented in the ring but couldn't catch a break anywhere (both in and out of kayfabe lol). He started this group full of other misfits that haven't really accomplished what they could have, and used them to boost his own stock. Ricochet hasn't lost clean to a single member of retribution that I can recall, leading to him now challenging Ali back, but banning Retribution from ringside. Ali says OK, but when I beat you, you have to join us. Setting up the actual climax to the feud where Ricochet goes over. Ali needs some rebuilding after, but that would be a good launching point for Ricochet getting his mojo back and going after a championship, and I don't think Ali & Retribution would be all that hurt by it, since their whole thing is that they work as a group anyways. Alternately After Ricochet goes over Ali in that scenario the rest of retribution comes out to jump Ricochet in anger, only for the Hurt Business to come to Ricochets aid, reigniting Ricochet potentially joining Cedric in Hurt Business, and launching back into a Hurt Business - Retribution angle. I don't like that option as much though, only because Hurt Business already has the tag titles and the point would be to have Ricochet and Ced take the tag titles. I think Ricochet works better as a superhero face, and this whole story seems to be setting him up to go over big in the climax match, which this Monday's shouldn't be. Of course if they just drop the feud after this and move on then yeah, Ricochet comes off like a total loser. Right now though they're very much setting him up for a big win and push.
