Opening

He announced a fatal fiveway at Extreme Rules between Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt with the winner facing Lesnar at the PPV.

Giving this a 6. It was an okay Raw. Not the greatest and the middle hour was kinda lousy. Some of the matches were pretty good though. Miz and Ambrose had a good title match, but it had a lousy ending. An enjoyable Raw to a degree.

I didn't watch Raw tonight because of work. Just based on this I feel like that was a good thing

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

10/10

Roman looked STRONG

Okay...

~ So Sasha lost clean to Alicia Fox...and I die a little bit inside...
Seriously...does Sasha have some backstage heat or something?

~ And after Charlotte & Sasha gave us a Hell in a Cell, IronWoman and a Falls count Anywhere match
last year...at Extreme Rules Alexa and Bayley will give us...A Kendo Stick on a Pole match...Ugh...

This is fucking Blue! Did Vince Russo get rehired by the WWE?

No Nia Jax, No Mickie James, No Dana Brooke & Emma is injured...so once again it feels like the RAW
women's division has 4 performers in it...

I will admit...it was great to watch Alexa crack Bayley with that kendo stick...
but you know what would have made it even better?

If it was Sasha Banks doing it!!!

~ Just give Miz the IC title already...Ambrose is doing nothing with the belt...

~ And Finn Balor lost so Vince can finally get over his favorite loosing to him last year...

I'm done...

Personally I haven't watched much wwe since mania, at all. I watched the shake up episodes, scratched my head, and said

I'm going to give impact a try.

So far I like it a lot more.

Sorry this was kind of pointless, but that's just where I'm at with wwe right now. They "shook it up" so much, yet had the same storyline's going. Just switched shows

 

[Prince Bálor]

I skimmed through pretty much the entire episode, it seemed largely meh and boring. 4/10

Ambrose vs Miz was good, but the finish was anticlimatic. Also, Reigns vs Bálor was MOTN and the absolute highlight of the show.

Though probably being a bit generous given the abysmal show we got the week prior, I actually gave this one a 6/10. Pretty decent all around, good crowd, not a bad way to get back on track and start the build towards Extreme Rules...

Nope, no heat, just a loss that will add to the frustratuion ultimately leading to Sasha's heel turn....And boy does she need it a change of pace...

Hopefully you didn't skip the Titus/Apollo Crews with Enzo and Cass segment; got to give it to Titus man, he got me laughing hard with his taunting of Enzo.

Furthermore, whether you believe it or not, I was actually intrigued with the Goldust heel turn and interested to see if WWE have any plan in particular for hm. Being he's in the late stages of his careeer, maybe they want to give him a final significant run, who knows? If they do so, I really hope they let him be just a little bit edgy, like the good old Goldust that we once loved. Hell, have him come out with his robe and wig again....

I hope you're right...I really do...

6 from me.
Finally we're getting something that involves the Universal championship on the show.
I expected there to be less wrestling than usual, because of the recent European Tour but no, the matches were alright.

 

[Eva Maryse]

There was so much wrong with this Raw. A Hardy beats Sheamus/Cesaro again, seriously this one sided feud is awful. Give Sheamus/Cesaro a win already.

Alexa Bliss getting the biggest megapush in the history of Womens wrestling; barf.

Rollins, Balor, Ambrose on the show, and no Braun; bummer.

Miz vs Ambrose was alright, dumb finish though. And its hard to get excited about their feud when the end result will probably just be Miz getting fed to Reigns.

2/10.
