I actually really enjoyed this week's RAW. Heyman is a fucking promo god. That man could sell popcorn to a dolphin's blowhole. Or something. Seth Rollins is becoming a good promo too. I hate his "story time" segments, where he basically recaps what he has since day one; but when he actually has a point, his stuff works. I've got a feeling he'll be escaping Battleground with the World Title, but I've got no clue how they get it done. They're talking about Rollins vs. Triple H, but if that happens, then they'll have to turn Triple H, in my opinion. Rollins is such a heel right now. I guess they might just have Brock take back the title, but it seems odd to do it at a B-show. But I expect Rollins to put up a surprisingly good fight all the same. I'm curious to see the outcome.
Cesaro is a fucking beast. Owens and Rusev also worked their pants off. A lot of this show felt like it was booked by Triple H and whoever does NXT. Everyone in this Triple Threat came out a stronger character. It was weird to see Cena booked as a heel, but sort of refreshing. If Dolph Ziggler isn't able to work Battleground, I would be adding Rusev vs. Cesaro to the main card.
The NXT girls debuting was obviously awesome. I ended up switching off my brain and just marking out for Becky, Charlotte and Sasha. They seemed pretty over too. A 3 vs. 3 vs. 3 match for Battleground would be pretty fucking hot.
