• Raw begins with a three minute recap of last weeks main event. If that wasn't bad enough, then the opening promo was around fifteen minutes, which was then followed by a backstage segment which was around two minutes, meaning that we waited around twenty minutes for a match to start and when it did, it was a thirty-seven second squash match.
Seriously, who looked at that and thought "Yeah, that's great. Go with it!"? That's abysmal. What made it worse was that we were then treated to "Shouty Mick", which is probably the worst Mick. Mick Foley getting pissy when people say he's under Stephanie's thumb and all that is stupid. Foley doesn't like it when you basically tell him that he's Stephanie's bitch, but in a way, he kinda is. Stephanie is his boss. She controls him to an extent. What his boss says, goes. So whenever Foley bitches when people say stuff like that, it's just stupid and makes Foley looks like a retard for getting pissy at people that are basically stating facts, albeit not in the nicest of ways. To end this on a positive note, I really like Strowman using the Running Powerslam as a finisher. It's such a good move and it's perfect for him. It also always reminds me of The British Bulldog, which is always good. • Why is Alicia Fox involved in anything to do with The Cruiserweight Division? She should be off trying to win the Women's Championship, not be in love with Cedric Alexander. I still think he needs a new theme though and some charisma wouldn't go a miss. I like that Tony Nese won though. I'm really liking the team of Nese and Gulak. It feels really natural and just makes me think that maybe The Cruiserweight Division should have its own Tag Team Championships, but another set of titles would probably be far too much, considering the WWE currently has around twelve championships all-together. • So Jericho and Rollins had a fight in a parking lot. I feel the chance of a parking lot brawl happening at Roadblock is now that little bit more greater. • Women's Championship Match: Round 1 - Fun Fact: The referee's 10-count lasted 98 seconds (1 min 38 sec). • It's probably because of how Raw began but times and promo lengths are jumping out at me tonight. Enzo & Cass were on the mic for just over three minutes. All so we can see Enzo get kicked in the balls twenty-five seconds later. I said it last week, but I really hope this doesn't lead to Lana falling in love with Enzo, all because she saw his penis. • "Hey Mark, you're a big movie star now. Let's take a look at a clip of you in action!" *Clip is Mark Henry getting his ass handed to him* What? • Oh good, more Cruiserweights. Rich Swann is alright. He's growing on me but I liked him better when he didn't talk. I don't know why. As for Dar, he's really boring and there's something about his face and general appearance that I find really annoying. The Brian Kendrick is just so good no matter what he's doing. I'd love to see him retain against Swann but I feel that won't happen. I think Swann will get a "shock win", only to lose it back to Kendrick at Roadblock. • Cesaro & Sheamus in a strange bar fight segment. I don't know what it is with Sheamus and segments that contain strange camera angles. So now that they've beaten up people in a bar, does that mean they'll work together and win the titles? I genuinely think so. • I skipped the Owens/Reigns match. • So Xavier cheats again to retain the titles. I can really see New Day (Big E & Kofi) losing the titles on Raw now, just two days before they break the record and Xavier going apeshit at them and turning on them. • Sasha wins the title again. Whoop dee doo. So how long now before Charlotte wins it back? Personally, I just really wish someone else would be in the title scene with Charlotte. I'm just not a fan of Sasha Banks at all. I find everything about her to be terrible. • Overall, Raw was really bad this week. I had hope after last weeks Raw, which was actually pretty decent, but it seems like we're just back to the usual now. Raw being the B-Show but acting like the A-Show, and SmackDown being the A-Show but keeping quiet about it, even though it knows it's the A-Show. |

I will say that I do appreciate them saying things like "Hopefully GM Mick Foley approves this match!" to add a sense of authority/realism when people make random matches in the ring.

Somewhere along the line the WWE thought that because they are booking for children, their wrestlers should act like children.

Roman Reigns, as robotic as he is, was actually the better promo there. Right up until he stepped over his "Spoiler alert" line. Groan.

Roman needs a new catchphrase since "The Guy" is a huge bust. Never going to get constantly cheered with it regardless how hard the WWE tries.
Him goading Owens into a title shot was basically the same way he randomly got involved for the US title feud. |

They should do an angle where Goldust "comes on to" Braun Strowman and he "freaks out" (via homophobia) a la Ahmed Johnson vs. Goldust feud

Why not just use a local jobber if Braun is back doing meaningless squashes. At least there would be the possibility for a funny pre-interview segment ... nevermind Sami suddenly arrived.

They should do an angle where Mick Foley gradually "goes insane" and starts tearing out his hair again (a la Mick Foley "multiple personality" gimmick... but maybe not I guess... seems bad... nvm)

Braun Strowman looked pretty good there. He seems like he's getting comfortable. I liked the powerslam to end things. Sami is there to make him look good and that's what Sami is good for.

Jericho and Owens pulling the wool over everyone's eyes again. They'll have a lovers quarrel each week -- and look like high school girls -- but they'll always help each other. No one will watch, but they will keep being "entertaining."

That whole opening segment was kind of redundant, wasn't it? Like, what was the main event going to be before that was announced? Couldn't they just go with that match and open with the Braun/R-Truth stuff?

I like that they did that in the ring via "interrupting a Foley interview" rather than doing an overproduced backstage segment in the Authority's office. Makes it seem more real/raw.
