You know the drill, ladies and gents. Vote above, give yer thoughts below!

WWE Raw Results:

– The show opened with Randy Orton in a steel cage, explaining what he’s going to do to Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules. He promises RKOs all night.

1. Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper went to a No Contest. Harper fled the brawl.

2. The New Day defeated The Lucha Dragons. New Day won by count-out thanks to Xavier Woods, who held Sin Cara out of the ring for the 10-count. After the match, Randy Orton attacked the New Day with RKOs.

3. Fandango defeated Curtis Axel. Fandango won by pinfall after a top rope leg drop.

– Triple H returned from vacation to put over Tough Enough and mediate an argument between Seth Rollins and Kane.

4. Naomi defeated Brie Bella. Naomi won with the Rear View.

– Randy Orton attacked Heath Slater backstage and RKO’d him through a table.

– Roman Reigns tried to deliver a promo and was interrupted by Bo Dallas. Reigns Superman Punched and speared him.

5. Sheamus defeated Zack Ryder. Sheamus beat down Ryder instantly. Dolph Ziggler interfered and hit a Zig Zag on Sheamus.

6. United States Championship Match: John Cena (c) defeated Kane. Cena won with an Attitude Adjustment. Later, Rusev attacked Cena backstage and attacked him with a chain.

7. The Miz defeated Damien Mizdow. This was a match for “the Miz brand.” Miz won with a Skull-crushing Finale after Summer Rae turned on Mizdow. After the match, Miz celebrated but was RKO’d by Randy Orton.

– Bray Wyatt talked.

8. Ryback defeated Adam Rose. Ryback won with Shell Shocked. After the match, he Shell Shocked two Rosebuds dressed as a hot dog and a banana.

9. Seth Rollins defeated Dolph Ziggler. Sheamus interfered, distracting Ziggler. Rollins won with his new finish, a DDT. Yep. After the match, Kane showed up to attack Rollins. Rollins lowered the cage to protect himself but found he was locked in with a suddenly-occurring Randy Orton. Orton RKO’d Rollins to end the show.

Well, it was a tad bit better than the previous two episodes. 3/10
Highlights of the episode were Rollins vs DZ and Orton's RKO Fest!

Positives:
-"I'm gonna go backstage and I'm gonna RKO every son of a bitch I see!" was the only positive to take from the opening segment.
- LOL'd at Titus scaring the hell out of Rollins.
- The New Day vs The Lucha Dragons was okay.
- Rollins vs DZ was good.

Negatives:
- Everything else.

It was a pretty decent show. Orton targeting random people all night long with the RKO and the continued push towards Kane's babyface turn had me interested enough (just for the record, I have little interest in Kane as either a babyface or a heel nowadays; it's just that seeing turmoil within The Authority and knowing Kane is finally leaving them after spending nearly two years by their side represents change of some kind at least, which is fine enough for me.)

Another show I wouldn't dream of watching after reading the results.

WWE is nearly to the point where even reading the results is too much of a burden. This product is in one helluva rut.

I'm strangely really looking forward to Ziggler vs Sheamus. Other than that... ew.

That was one of the most entertaining Raw's they've done in a while.

Positives
Randy Orton's RKO spree.
The New Day heel finish (the match itself, I wasn't so interested in)
Sheamus Vs Zack Ryder
Reigns and Dallas
Rollins Vs Ziggler
Naomi Vs Bree (specifically Naomi looking pretty good)
Curtis Axel's dancing

I actually thought that they used Kane in a really good way this week (minus the US Championship match)

Negatives
Nikki Bella on commentary (and in general tbh)
Kane Vs Cena for the US Championship


Who cares?
Skipped Bray Wyatt
Miz Vs Midow- the match was actually good, but it felt like it didn't belong on the show and would have been best with a good build up and on a PPV
Ambrose Vs Harper was pretty pointless

This show involved Axelmania dancing? Well, perhaps there's at least something watchable there (also Slater was good)

Zack Ryder vs Sheamus was a nice surprise for RAW.
Summer Rae.. you sloot!
RKOs.. RKOs for EVERYONE!
No fucking Neville?
In looking at the most likely card for Extreme Rules, Lobsterhead vs Ziggler should be MOTN easily.

2/10 The show was beyond awful. It's bad that this is three bad Raws in a row. I began phasing out during the show which I never do in 30 years of watching WWE.

I liked:
Titus scaring Rollins
Rollins vs Ziggler
Roman Reigns' pun

The worst thing about the show is the blatantly obvious Authority setup for Extreme Rules. Making Kane the gatekeeper and making it seem as if he is mad at Rollins so he won't let the Authority in and thus giving Orton a false sense of security. Any one with half a brain knows this is a setup and Kane is really just acting.

On further inspection, that PTP bit was indeed pretty good. So in fact 3 moments (combined 90 seconds or so) worth watching, I guess

In pro wrestling, the biggest swerve you can make is "thing goes exactly how it was intended"
