Oddly enough the only good match was Rusev vs. Reigns.

I'm actually settling into the idea of Sheamus as WWE Champion. I mean with his EuroSquad with him and The Authority, he seems like he might do great. Of course this is only one show into his reign. I only hope he stays away from the bitch heel role and sticks to his role as the Game master in Reigns' road to the title.

Also, I'm really liking this reformed Authority with King Barrett, Rusev and Sheamus. They seem to be getting rightfully deserved pushes. By that I mean that they're getting something serious to do. Rather than being stuck with shitty 40 year old gimmicks, jobbing to jobbers or being in affair storylines. They're becoming road blocks, in a broader storyline. Also I'm actually feeling good about this TLC match, between Reigns and Sheamus.

This 3-way feud is looking nice. Hopefully it leads to a 3-way tag team ladder match, or maybe the addition of the Dudleyz can make it 4 way. Really interesting to see. Also, it seems that Ambrose and Owens are getting groomed for that long anticipated feud.

Add in the mixture of the possible Neville push and tolerable divas matches. This show wasn't as bad as many expect. Of course it sucked hairy donkey testies, but that's a norm with the WWE.

Call me Mr. Optimistic, but I can't really hate on what the WWE has been doing.

A terrible, terrible, terrible Raw. 2

I liked:

The opener with Sheamus and the Authority. I though Sheamus gave one of the best promos of his life and I like the Authority utilizing Sheamus, Rusev and Barrett. The Authority needed a shake up more than Charo's maracas.

And I loved Sheamus's "Who looks stupid now?" taunt, especially because I know that the real life Sheamus loves the "You look stupid" chants a lot.

Reigns vs Rusev. A surprisingly excellent match.

I didn't like:

Everything else. And despite the New Day being entertaining, I don't need them carrying on for 20 minutes. That sucked.

I should have skipped it and spent the entire night with @Prince Bálor. I could have done him up in full Finn Balor demon makeup.... *drools*

 

[Prince Bálor]

The show was abysmal. 2/10

Survivor Series was abysmal, too and it was quite fitting for the artistic geniuses in WWE's Creative division to do the same with RAW. Continuity, man!

Positives:
- The New Day was awesome as usual. Plus, Kofi's hair looked majestic.

- Sasha vs Becky was decent given the time constraint.

- Reigns vs Rusev was a good ME, despite the DQ finish.

Negatives:
- Everything else.

Spoiler: My feelings about The Eurothority being formed and the show as a whole

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

As I expected, 2/10, but from what I heard its good Reigns got cheered for once and he put on another good match. Shows he is trying. So that gives a plus one to this show along with the new day, great as usual.

 

[Aids Johnson]

Card looks great, I guess I'll watch and expect nothing.

 

[Green Jesus]

I usually play the apologist, but there is no excuse for this raw. Holy shit what a dogshit of a show. 1.5/10

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Boring ass episode. Its pretty sad when your best segment of the night is Heath Slater.

Don't discourage him. @Snowman 's rants are the best.
