7/10
I went into this expecting it to be utter crap but was pleasantly surprised. I only skipped two matches- Rusev Vs Mark Henry and Jericho Vs Orton (Okay, so I skimmed through the main event). I really enjoyed every other match- even the Divas triple threat to some extent.
Cesaro Vs Sheamus was my favourite match of the night. And most importantly was Ambrose returning :yay:

I don't get how people say Lesnar sold the curb stomp well. The whole hopping up to meet Rollins boot before crashing down again bamboozles me. Its not like Rollins is lifting Lesnar with his foot on Lesnar's neck. I've seen many other guys do the same thing for this move. I'm not just seeing things am I?
Now afterward he stayed down for awhile so I can see if thats what you guys mean by Lesnar selling it.
Maybe he was just trying to get up in a froggy way, who knows? The selling was fine to me

4/10 or maybe even 5/10 If I would absolutely have to rate it.
Stardust & Goldust vs. Usos was fun. Their styles compliment each other well and I hope to see one or two more matches from them, but I'm more curious as to where the champions are headed after this and whether the Wyatt's will get another shot at it.
Sheamus and Cesaro had the match of the night by far. If they want to make the US and IC titles mean something, then they should just let these two have an actual angle and have it end in some proper show stealing gimmick match on a PPV. They have all the talent in the world to do this and the three hour Raw enough empty space at the moment to make it possible, so it's beyond me how this hasn't happened yet.
Seen the Miz and Ziggler so many times lately so I really couldn't bring myself to care anymore, spite enjoying their previous bouts. Skipped
Marked out for Ambrose return, but that passed soon enough when I realised than this is just going to be another chase around the arena segment. It was still fun nonetheless and I can't wait for them to have an actual match again.
Two guys actually having an angle does wonders for a wrestling show.
Rusev and Henry was garbage. Did they pull the plug on Swagger/Rusev feud or is that still going? I don't know I haven't been able to sit through a Raw lately. I sure hope it is.
Was unable to care about Orton and Jericho so I just browsed the internet after I got bored in the beginning - and apparently I wasn't the only one since at audience was taken off life support. Got back into it after midway when the crowd got back into it and I guess it was okay, but even so I was still just unable to give a damn despite the fact that I ( used to ) like Jericho and don't really mind Orton.
I'm also surprised that I haven't seen people call out Jericho on being very sloppy during this run. In the beginning of it was painful to watch him gas out and while he did get better towards the end, he still seems really sloppy in general with his moves. This might have always been the case and I just remember the matches from 2012 and 2013 better than they actually were.
Fell asleep during the diva's. Watched Brock and Cena the day after and while I was initially irked by the fact that Cena "kind-of" went over, I then realised that they're probably going to have a match at HIAC which I am totally okay with. The match itself I thought was boring, even though I've enjoyed Brock ever since he returned in 2012.
