So is it only MVP and Lashley who can become the new WWE Champ or Truth can as well if he pins either guy?

MVP & Lashley vs. Truth & Drew was decent.
Truth pinning MVP but Drew keeping the title answered my question. |

Good match, especially with not knowing for certain what Truth would do.

Bayley's new hairdo looks like someone in the back screwed up big time cutting and styling it.

Asuka must have some amazing trust in Nia to willingly take a powerbomb on the floor.

at Asuka needing to win via a screwy finish.
Her title reign has been off to a bad start in terms of making her actually look strong in the ring. |

This feels a bit too corny now. Should have ended the show after the first talk Orton had to an unconscious Christian.
RAW itself was somewhat decent overall. Very heavy in story stuff and pretty weak in terms of ring action. The story stuff was mixed bag quality at least for me personally. |

I wonder if Vince will really create a stable of black male wrestlers and force them all to be heel during this moment in history?

Though in all honesty I do think she'd look better sporting more of a medium-length 'do. The new look for her heel turn last year was kinda interesting, but the soccer mom look isn't working anymore IMHO. |

Apparently the person who got removed from outside of WWE's PC was taping the incident as it happened.

I'm assuming they are only allowing Randy to use the Punt again because they can edit it to look good with no risk.
It instantly takes his heel character to another level. |

the only downside to Legend Killer Orton return is the lack of legends to kill on RAW

But apparently he just got screwed over by Orton again tonight... They should have had Christian win, launch a comeback, and then unify all the titles at Wrestlemania. |

Christian anchoring Raw means it’ll not only be the best show in years, but it’ll also destroy in the ratings.

It's WWE, and Vince is still there... which means it isn't too late to swing back around to the "blue dot" notion and the company actually do it because Vince still thinks it'd be "good shit".

I’m not a fan of Bruce Prichard, but one thing I’ll say about him is that he knows how to put together a show to make it feel like WWE — whether that’s good or bad. It felt like more happened on this show than basically any of Heyman’s.
Something I will point out: I love the finish to Shelton Benjamin and Apollo Crews. I love Shelton, so it’s just nice to see him used. But I liked how the heels tried to imply that Crews needs some edge. Then Shelton tries to cheat to beat him, and Crews cheats back to win. It’s so simple, but that “eye for an eye” psychology is something Bret Hart used to do that I really love. Helps a guy separate himself from feeling like a pushover. Crews has needed something like that. And if they’re doing this heel turn (I’d rather see him just be a better face), it fuels that too. This finish said something about the guy winning and something about the guy losing. It told an actual story, despite what people whinge about re: WWE. I don’t know if that would have been a Bruce idea, or if he reached out to Pat Patterson for that or something, haha, but it’s appreciated by this bored as fuck wrestling fan. |
