You know the drill, ladies and gentlemen. Vote above and give your throughts below!

RAW Results:
— The show opened with Goldberg making his entrance to the ring and cutting a promo. He thanked the fans and his family for their support. He did what he said he was going to do, and he thought all good things must come to an end, but on his way to the back on Sunday night, Stephanie McMahon asked him if he had one last title run left in him. He said you bet your ass I do, and she told him the road to the title runs through the Royal Rumble. He announced he would be in the Royal Rumble, and everyone is next.

1. WWE Raw Tag Team Championship Match: The New Day (c) defeated Cesaro and Sheamus. Cesaro had the Sharpshooter locked in on Kofi Kingston, but Xavier Woods hopped up on the apron and distracted the referee just as Kofi tapped. When the referee turned back around, Kofi rolled up Cesaro for the three-count.

2. Cedric Alexander defeated Ariya Daivari. Alexander won by pinfall after the Lumbar Check.

— Chris Jericho hosted the Highlight Reel, with Kevin Owens as his guest. The two argued about whether they were still best friends after Owens used the list to attack AJ Styles and get disqualified at Survivor Series. Eventually they both agreed that it was Roman Reigns’ fault they were eliminated and agreed to still be best friends. They started running down Reigns and Seth Rollins when Rollins’ music hit and he came out. He demanded his match against Owens for the Universal Championship tonight. The three began brawling, and then Reigns came out to even the odds. Mick Foley came out and made a No DQ match between Rollins and Owens for the Universal Championship, with Jericho and Reigns banned from ringside.

3. Rusev defeated Enzo Amore. Rusev forced Enzo to tap out to the Accolade. Rusev and Big Cass stared each other down after the match.

4. The Club defeated Golden Truth. This was for a shot at The New Day’s tag titles next week. Luke Gallows pinned Goldust after the Magic Killer.

5. Braun Strowman defeated Sami Zayn. Mick Foley had put Zayn in this match as punishment for losing at Survivor Series. Strowman jumped Zayn before the bell and mauled him so severely that Foley had to come out to order the referee to stop the match and award the decision to Braun.

— Charlotte and Dana Brooke came to the ring. Charlotte talked about how she’s the greatest athlete of all time and is above all the other women in WWE. Sasha Banks interrupted her promo and demanded her title rematch. Nia Jax then came out and called out Sasha, calling her overrated. Nia and Charlotte attacked Sasha until Bayley made the save.

6. Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax. Sasha managed to get Charlotte to tap out to the Banks Statement.

7. Triple Threat Match: Rich Swann defeated TJ Perkins and Noam Dar. This match was to determine who will face Brian Kendrick for the Cruiserweight Championship next week. Kendrick sat in on commentary for this one. Swann won with the Swann Kick to TJP for the pin.

8. No Disqualification Match for the WWE Universal Championship: Kevin Owens (c) defeated Seth Rollins. Even though he was banned from ringside, Chris Jericho showed up in the crowd in a Sin Cara mask and started fighting with Rollins. That allowed Owens the opening he needed to hit an apron powerbomb and pin Rollins.

Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Charlotte! Goldberg!
Goldberg! Alexa Bliss! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg!
Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Becky Lynch! Goldberg! Goldberg!
Goldberg! Goldberg! Bayley! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg!

Oh Sorry...I'm still caught up in the awesomeness that was the Survivor Series main event.
If any of you Bork La$er fans need some more tissues...I bought like 12 boxes.

Okay...on to RAW...

~ Oh Hey...look who it is...my new best friend Bill "The Beast Slayer" Goldberg...

Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Carmella! Goldberg!
Goldberg! Natalya! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg!
Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Nikki Bella! Goldberg! Goldberg!
Goldberg! Goldberg! Eva Marie!...wait...WTF?!

Alright...Goldberg is in the Rumble...Cool. I say Rusev gets number 1, Goldberg number
2 and James Ellworth number 3...Oh...and Bork doesn't get a number...cause he'd only
last 1 minute and 26 seconds! Oh Yeah!!! I'm on Fire!!! This is so much fun!

~ So...you have Cesaro and Sheamus look awesome last night...but have them loose tonight?
Well...I don't care...because Goldberg made Bork his bitch! Next!

~ Chris...your one of greatest ever to step in a WWE ring...but I don't care about your
list. I heard Bork La$er started a list of possible jobs he could do instead of wrestling.
1. Florist
2. The guy who replaces the urinal cakes in public toilets
3. Taking drive through orders at Burger King
And that's all he has so far.

~ Hey Enzo...may-be you could check a trash can for some clothes...it might be filled with
some Bork La$er T-Shirts. On wait...you wouldn't wear one...cause you have dignity.
I actually heard the WWE is coming out with a new Bork La$er shirt...
Eat...Sleep...Be Goldberg's Bitch.

~ Wait...Sami Zayn vs. Punch BeefLog...I thought we weren't doing this? Can we have
Goldberg crush Slam HardFist next? I bet he'd last longer than 1 minute and 26 seconds.

~ Hey look...its those guys who should be on SmackDown...may-be Bork should move
to SmackDown...then he wouldn't have to live in fear of Goldberg.

~ I don't care about the List Chris...you stupid idiot! I care about the List about
as much as I care about Bork La$er...so not at all.

~ Okay...I will admit I would love to see Rusev vs. Big Cass...can we have that next
week? May-be Rusev could wrestle Bork for a short warm up? Oh wait...Rusev would need
to warm up for longer than 1 minute and 26 seconds.

~ So Gallows & Anderson are the number 1 contenders for the tag titles again? So is
the Cesaro/Sheamus run over? If so...Good! May-be Cesaro could fight Bork next and
help him look half decent in a match...and let him last longer than 1 minute and 26 seconds.

~ Iron LargeFace destroyed Sami Zayn...what a shock...you know what else was a shock?
Spear! Spear! Jackhammer! 1,2,3!

~ Oh Good...the only part of the show I really care about is here...Let's see how
this goes. Oh God...another Emma(lina) promo...we know she's hot...just put her back
on TV already!!!

Okay...highlights from last night...seen it. When is The Queen going to ditch Dana Brooke?
Seriously...you don't need her Charlotte. And here comes the Boss...Yes...Sasha you do deserve
a rematch. Wow...Charlotte is such a bitch...God I love her. So...another Charlotte/Sasha
match next week? I know its in her home town Charlotte...but...its on RAW...Sasha always
beats you on RAW...wait till the next pay per view...Sasha isn't allowed to win at those.

Oh Jesus here comes Nia "Let Go Of My Arm Becky!" Jax...Look out Charlotte! Wait...what?
Why is Nia picking a fight with Sasha? WTF?! And no offence to Nia...but every other woman
on the roster looks like a barbie doll standing next to her. Sasha...I know your tough...but
this is Nia Jax we are talking about here *Remembers last night* Oh yeah...just lock in the
Bank Statement and you'll be fine. And now the real barbie doll Dana Brooke is acting like
an idiot...and gets punched. Good...Can we send her back to NXT now? or may-be get her a
contract at Brazzers...she did make a hot nurse.

Okay so here comes Bayley...and I can see where this is going...let me guess *Waits*

tumblr_oh10b2LEz81tkh4pio1_500.png


G...what a surprise...Charlotte & Nia Jax vs. Bayley & Sasha...Jesus H. Raptor.

Oh Cool...I hear me my favorite chant...

"Heyyyyyy-eyyyy Bayley! Ooh, ahh! I wanna knoowww...will you be my girl?"

That always makes me smile...just like remembering Goldberg crushing Bork La$er will also
always make me smile. I'm sorry...I had to throw it in there...I can't stop...I just can't.

So the match goes on and...Bayley & Sasha hit the double suplex on Nia...and then Charlotte
taps out to the bank statement.

Wow...what original booking...

Okay...so I try to be positive about the WWE women's wrestling...but I need to rant...and I
don't care if no one reads it.

The RAW Women's division is staler than a month old loaf of bread. Now I'm a Charlotte
Fanboy...but even I think she's been champion for too long. Sasha should be champion
and turn heel (Heel Sasha is so much cooler than face Sasha) then start a feud with Bayley.
Mickie James should be drafted/signed to RAW to feud with Charlotte. Emma(lina) should
return and team back up with Dana Brooke and they feud with Nia Jax. Throw Alicia Fox
in there as a possible ally for Nia to give her some character development...or team up
Foxy with Heel Sasha.

Just do something different...at least bring in some news faces to freshen things up.

Come on RAW...do something...anything...Please!

~ The Rock is voice acting now...okay. May-be Bork could get into voice acting...he'd
be great at screaming in fear and crying like a little bitch.

~ More guys who should be SmackDown...I'm over caring at this point. You know what I
do care about? The main event last night...so awesome!

~ Oh look...Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins with Jericho getting involved ...again. Goldberg
should have come out and speared all three of them...that would have been great...just
like last night.

~ So I noticed Bork La$er and Pee Wee Heyman didn't make an appearance tonight...its okay...
I understand...I'm sure their in a dark place, crying into each others arms from the pure shame
of being...DELETED!!! by Goldberg.

Last night was great wasn't it?

Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Charlotte! Goldberg!
Goldberg! Alexa Bliss! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg! Goldberg!

7 out of 10....

Good main event, some good segments including KO with Jericho & Goldberg but they should have done more with him, Lana looked hot......... Divas segment was crap as usual and I've seen RAWs that were amazing so its hard to give this one 10 but still better than alot of their crappy RAWs so 7 it is

Didn't watch the whole show but I saw the Enzo segment on YouTube and boy was it stupid, so stupid that I almost thought it was some attitude era rewind clip. They gotta have Lana involved and Rusev just standing there like a cuck...what are they doing with my boi Rusev? This man could've been a great heel US champion dominating over the lower-to-mid card for an unestablished guy to beat but nah, put the belt on Reigns because fuck creating new stars.

Next week looks interesting, hopefully Gallows and Anderson win the tag titles.

Loved the show. I gave it an 8 out of 10.

Only thing I don't like is:

So a buddy said he was going to RAW so I asked him where he was sitting. He said 106 row 6...so I looked at the seating map and was like that's cool pretty close. On the bottom level at the back corner 6 rows off the ground. So joking I said I'll watch for you on tv.

He then said that area was briefed before the show about the main event spilling out in that area.
Sure enough that's right where the rollins spot happened. I rewatched that a few times over trying to find him, to no avail.
So I asked how close was he to that? Like there was only 10 seats in his row so he had to be close.

Right before the main event started they got moved from their seats 'for their own safety' and replaced by plants. He figures it was just incase someone tried to push seth off.... he was sitting the seat right beside rollins. He literally would have been right there.

That sucks eh?

Yeah that does suck but it was done for good reason. You really can't trust random people in a situation like that, better safe than sorry I suppose.

I felt this episode of RAW was a good follow-up to Survivor Series. 7/10

There was nothing great, but there was also nothing downright bad, except for that Enzo segment.

Also, RAW gets bonus points for setting up two title matches for next week, as well as one for 205 Live. That is nice and refreshing.

The New Day vs Cesaro & Sheamus was good. Marked for Cesaro catching Big E in mid-air. So, The New Day retained via shenanigans? Umm, okay... I guess they'll keep on beating teams until they break the record.

Cedric Alexander vs Ariya Daivari was decent given the time constraint. Damn, gotta love Alexander's Lumbar Check.

The Highlight Reel was good and fun. Y2J and KO were hilarious, especially KO yelling at the 'monkeys'. It was just entertaining and on top of that, it set up the ME, as well as two big singles feuds going forward.

Rusev squashing Enzo Amore was exactly what it needed to be.

Braun Strowman vs Sami Zayn was exactly what it needed to be. Sami sold everything Strowman did like a MF. Damn, he's such a stellar and sympathetic babyface.

Rich Swann vs TJ Perkins vs Noam Dar was good and fun.

Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins was a very good ME. Not as good as their HIAC match, but better than their CoC match.

The rest was pretty much meh and not worth talking about.

Oh yeah for sure. They went right past them on the way back to the ring though. That would have been so cool to be able to stay on their seats though lol
