So instead of just having a normal match with a break in between, Ricochet had to take an unnecessary pin and title loss for the moment because of Vince's dumb new rule.

The wild card rules was daft but this new "no wrestling during commercials" deal is in another league.

Wish Jim Ross was on play-by-play so he could call AJ Styles 'heinous', 'an evil opportunist' or 'a damn jezebel'.

Rumor going around the net is that WWE is currently working on a new set for RAW and the reason why tonight's set was destroyed was to speed up the process for its arrival from a storyline perspective.

I think IF, and it's a big IF, but if WWE includes something in their contract that Anderson and Gallows will remain with A.J. Long term, then I think they might actually stick around WWE. Being with A.J. would guarantee they are used weekly, and there isn't a better leader to pair them with. Even more so now then when they first came in because now A.J. has the success in WWE to make The Club truly a main event level faction.
Should be an interesting story going forward. |

Meltzer's confirmed that Maria is actually pregnant.
There had been rumors of Mike and Maria being unhappy in WWE for a while but when the news hit that they'd signed new contracts seemingly out of the blue, I had a feeling another baby was on the way. Congrats to them! |

They don't have to tell the company anything, but WWE had to know this was a possibility when they offered the contract. Maria is 37, if they were going to have a baby it was always going to be sooner rather than later.

Well they told the company at one point, I hope it was after they signed.

A much better Raw than recent week, I didn't fall asleep and I was excited for the main event and couldn't believe it was "already here". Good start for Heyman.

There was a lot I liked on Raw... overall the show felt looser. I did feel like Heyman told everyone to "do their thing" when it comes to the promo's. I'm sure some were more scripted than others, but I can't imagine the Street Profits did a script word for word there.
Obviously from the begging the show started with a bang and while it wasn't AMAZING, it was a great start to Raw. My thoughts and prayers to Bobby and Braun. I am a fan of the Lacey/Corbin team and of this mixed winner take all tag match at Extreme Rules. The Uso's and Joe stuff was so good, the opening six man was solid too. This commercial break stuff is pretty stupid but also I kind of like it, I just can't imagine keeping this up "from now on". They build to AJ and Ricochet was great, those slaps, MY GOD! The match itself was good enough and topped by a solid angle that a lot of people wanted, The Return of the Club. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Shane and Taker and Drew. Interesting segment when Shane was talking but Taker's promo was scattered and not very good. Whatever, he showed up, did the entrance, said rest in peace. What more beyond a chokeslam do you need? Also I didn't hate the match with Miz and The Troubador and I believe we are seeing the growth of the WWE's Minstrel as far as in ring work before our very eyes. LOL at his kicks though. Brock is gonna cash in on the first Smackdown on Fox, that's gotta be obvious right? |

I’m hoping that’s Braun and Lashley written off for a little while so they can press the reset button on them. Maybe send Lashley to SmackDown and explain it as them not being able to be on the same show (and exclude them from the wildcard allowance ).
Not quite sure what the deal was with the Street Profits. I’m pretty high on Montez Ford, dude has a lot of charisma, but I don’t get why they were on Raw in backstage segments. Pretty cool with The Club being back together. I’d like to see them expand in some way to differentiate it from their first run, but for now a heel Styles is interesting. |

Herman is better with booking monsters than even Vince. He could do WONDERS with Strowman.

I mean, they still technically have to do something during the breaks, but if last week's SDL was any indication, it appears to be mostly rest holds, people powdering for a second and things of that nature.

According to the front page, Maria told WWE about her pregnancy after signing her new contract. So that’s twice she’s blindsided them after signing. Now wonder they got embarrassed on raw.
