It was a good Raw, a bit of a disapointment all things considered but still a solid show.
Batista-Tajiri and Eugene-Conway were perfectly booked and looked very solid.
I see nothing wrong with how HHH-Shelton ended, I think it could've gone longer before HBK interefered but they did what they had to. They couldn't have HHH lose due to interference and Shelton couldn't lose either.
Orton-Edge had an awful start but picked up after the commercial. I'm not feeling Edge as a maineventer, his character and ring psychology have been lacking thus far in my mind. I'm going to chalk up the slopyness to the broken hand and ring rust though
Girls segment and match were okay, I think that the women's divison needs to be reshuffled. Give the girls some new gimmicks and alignments. I'm tired of Gail, Lita, Molly, Jazz, Nidia and Victoria having no distinguishable characters. There are some great wrestlers in the divison, but they aren't going to get over with how they are being booked.
Lita-Trish segment was poorly acted but what do you expect. Same with the Lita-Kane segment, although I thought that it was better than last weeks. I don't know where this is headed, wether its a means of getting Matt over or pairing Lita with Kane, but get it over with.
Backstage segments were really bad tonight, it was confusing with the whole HHH-Christian-Jericho #1 contender thing. Would've made more sense had they shown Christian and Jericho talking to Bischoff or atleast aluding to it better.
Cage Match had a tight finish and lackluster start. Tomko looks really green, that was the second time he's botched that kick in his two attempts
