Rate this week's episode of Raw and leave some comments to let us know what you thought of the show!

Opening

Mick Foley came out with index cards thanking HHH and Stephanie McMahon for his job as GM. After reading it, he threw a fit, complaining that they made him read index cards and that he was Mick "Freaking" Foley. When his microphone was cutting out, Stephanie came out and told him that both his job as GM and his index cards were golden opportunities and she kept insulted him. She then fired him. As she did so, Sami Zayn came out to protest. He said what Stephanie was doing was wrong and that she was wrong about a lot of decisions but no has had the nerve to interrupt her. He said that Foley had more integrity than she ever did. Stephanie told Zayn that he wasn't at the level to even speak to her and she tried to dismiss him.

Sami Zayn decided not to leave. He wasn't going to do the smart thing, he was doing the right thing. Then Samoa Joe came out. She then made Foley leave and put Zayn in a match against Joe.


Samoe Joe vs Sami Zayn

Samoa Joe won by submission.

After the match Mick thanked Zayn for helping him out and told him to stand up for other people when Mick was gone. Mick then took a walk with wrestlers thanking him. The last was HHH who told him to have a nice day!


Dana Brooke vs Charlotte Flair

Charlotte defeated Dana Brooke by pin fall.


Backstage

Stephanie mocked Bayley by offering her a hug and Bayley turned the hug down. She said she used to admire Stephanie but since she watched her use her powers to hurt other people. Stephanie said that hearing those things made her doubt Bayley's abilities and that Bayley will have to prove she is a champion every night. So Stephanie made a no DQ match Bayley vs Nia Jax and if Nia wins, she will be added to the WrestleMania match.

Highlight Reel with Kevin Owens


Chris Jericho promised to air the dirty laundry between him and KO. He claimed he didn't need KO because the fans were the friends of Jericho. He showed proof that he wasn't KO's friend, he was KO's idol. He was about to put KO on the list until Samoa Joe distracted him and KO came in and attacked Jericho. KO then destroyed the list.

The Brian Kendrick vs TJ Perkins

Brian Kendrick defeated Perkins by pin fall. He then called out Akira Tazawa after the match. He said that he was out of the country because Perkins had his password.

NIa Jax vs Bayley No Disqualification

Nia Jax won by pin fall to enter the match at WrestleMania.

HHH Interview


HHH basically said that Seth Rollins turned on him when Rollins got injured.


Enzo and Cass with The Club vs Sheamus and Cesaro

Cesaro and Sheamus will lose their WrestleMania match if they lose. The Club attacked Enzo and Cass even though they are partners. Enzo and Cass then attacked the Club and Sheamus and Cesaro won.

Austin Aries vs Tony Nese

Austin Aries defeated Tony Nese by pin fall. After the match, Neville came out and he and Aries traded

Braun Strowman vs Roman Reigns

Undertaker showed up at the end of the match, staring down Reigns. Taker, however, chokeslammed Braun Strowman. Reigns then hit Taker with a spear and left the ring. After a while, Taker finally rose up, threw his hair back and gave Reigns the "it's over" neck slash.

You know, this show was not that bad. There really wasn't anything great about it, but I was mostly entertained and the show did not drag. So I was pretty happy :)

Strowman vs Reigns was not as good as their last match, but it was enjoyable.

There was nothing really wonderful about the show, but I really got through it easier than any other show lately.

5/10 again... I hate the Authority rehash.. Still don't care about the cruiserweight or woman's title matches because there is very little story behind either, or the stories that are there are full of holes.

Tonight's RAW was also 80% talk and 20% action... rather boring to watch.. which is why I fast forwarded through more than half the show.

The writers are killing this show slowly.

In theory, next week's Raw SHOULD be at the very least a 8/10 show so here is to hoping!

Next week's the "real" go-home show, right? The one with 2 weeks left?

(The one right before Mania they always phone it in to avoid injury)

I think the Go Home Raws lately have been pretty crappy lately :(
That is what worries me. It seems like they try so hard they just suck... They some how manage to suck and blow simultaneously....

Thinking of a thread idea, to go through past recaps (at least) of the last few years... Remember before the WM32 go-home show looking back at the one before WM31 was really entertaining, haha. Any ideas for a thread like that? How many years back, and how sarcastic should it be lol

~ Okay RAW...let me have a look...

~ Finally Foley is Fired! Don't come back Mick...you take up too much TV time that should be
spent pushing the actual performers.

~ Sami Zayn vs. Samoa Joe...again...Skip!

~ Get out of the building Mick!

~ You know WWE...if Seth Rollins had turned face when he actually returned from injury...
I might have cared...but I don't...Next!

~ Okay...Wow...a women's division match on the main roster we haven't seen before...
I'm actually in shock...My Bae Charlotte vs. Dana Brooke...

*Watches Match*


A few notes:
~ Dana's in her old outfit...Nice!
~ Dana seems to have improved...but...I'm not sure how much of that is Charlotte...
~ The crowd seems dead...but I think Kevin Dunn was blocking/editing the crowd noise because
they were chanting for Paige...Fucking Brooklyn is the worst...
~ Would it really have hurt to let this match go on a few more minutes?

And Charlotte gets the win...well...good...at least she's being booked strongly going into Wrestlemania.

~ And here we see the weakest women's champion in recent times Bayley being confronted
by Stephanie McMahon...and we are getting Bayley vs. Nia...A-FUCKING-GAIN!!! This is just getting sad now...

And if Nia wins she goes into the Championship match...Oh Great...let's have the greenest worker on
the entire RAW roster added to a match that was already full enough. You couldn't book a drinking contest in a brewery WWE!

~ Owens & Jericho...Don't care...never did!

~ Cruiserweights...Don't care!

[HASHTAG]#IgnoreReigns[/HASHTAG]

~ I'd care if they gave Cesaro a singes push...but they won't...so fuck them!

~ And Bayley is pinned again and Nia gets to look out of place and exposed on the biggest stage of them all. Bayley is the worst booked champion I have ever seen...at least Kevin Owens won matches...Bayley hasn't won shit! Fuck off back to NXT Bayley you immature, useless sack of hugs!

Oh No...wait...you can't go back to NXT because the Champion there is a real woman who would beat you black and blue...AGAIN!!!

~ Triple H...you know may-be if you showed up a few months ago I would care...but you didn't...so I don't...Skip!

~ The Club have been booked like a bunch of blueberries since the brand split...I don't care about the RAW tag titles...Skip!

~ The New Day are up...and I don't care! Go film a homemade porn Xavier! Skip!

~ I do like Austin Aries and Neville has been the best booked champion in WWE since he won the belt...
All Hail King Neville...I'm hoping he retains at Wrestlemania.

~ Another Emma Vignette...just release her WWE...end this fucking torment already!

[HASHTAG]#IgnoreReigns[/HASHTAG]

I'm done...Fuck RAW...I hope the creative team dies in a car fire!

And Stephanie has inadvertently fired Mick Foley's ass... we all saw that coming once Mick was hired.

I think he looked alright. He looked better than he did at WrestleMania 30 and a little better than he looked at WrestleMania 32... not as good as he looked at 31 though.
