I enjoyed RAW tonight, it dragged a little bit in the middle but overall it was good. The crowd was hot the entire night and that always makes a show better.
Cena starting with a very short promo was nice, I can't remember the last time an opening promo on RAW only lasted five minutes and wasn't interrupted by a few wrestlers.
The tag team matches tonight were all enjoyable but the pick of the bunch was Team Friendship (I can't call them Hell No) vs. Ziggler and Del Rio. It worked really well and they pulled off a hell of a tv match. Sheamus again looked fantastic and this was Barrett's best match in quite some time. Sheamus has had an under-rated World title reign and his inring work has been excellent of late, his match against Damien Sandow last week was brilliant.
The ending to the show was awesome. Vince getting cut open and both of them swinging kendo sticks was great fun to watch. Ryback again looked like a star and I like the stipulation that Punk can choose either Cena or Ryback at HIAC. If he doesn't choose Ryback it makes Ryback look even stronger.
One thing that disappointing me was that I expected a game changing announcement from Vince with his State of the WWE Address but we didn't get anything.
