Really just depends on your levels of optimism... as you know with me it isn't very high.
I'm loving Bryan after last week, when he finally stopped his Cena-esque no-selling of being screwed and snapped on Shawn. An angry Bryan is what we need. Was excited about the Wyatts being part of this at first, but them being the henchmen to the Authority/Heyman/Some combination of the 2 kinda hurts their characters. Like them better on their own, but whatever they're doing stuff. Bryan and Punk are kind of in a holding pattern right now, but at least it's something new with some new talents so that's fine. Stunned by how much I'm interested in the Big Show thing. The storytelling is good, but of course it's either leading to Big Show/HHH or Big Show/Orton, either match being completely uninteresting for one reason or another. Despite Orton being "the chosen one" and having the belt, he doesn't feel like an important part of the angle. Triple H has all the heat right now, and I cannot care about a single word HHH is saying. It's "club business" all over again. Interested in the payoff to the whole thing, but that's obviously not coming on this week's Raw. It'll just be another HHH promo which has become a detriment to the show. To also file under "not caring": Kane. For a positive: Ryback...crosses fingers...has been written off the show. Even they realize that he's past the point of no return, right? Right? But as many of us have said there's really nothing going on apart from this angle. They have 6 hours of TV a week, and even when watching 1:30 of it it still feels like there just isn't enough interesting things going on on the show. Maybe there's the Shield breakup, but of all the things on this show that needs a shakeup the Shield is at the bottom of the list. Shield vs the Usos at Survivor Series could be fun, but know that on Raw it's not going to be well built. If they go in that direction then the Rhodes family will probably be stuck with the Wyatts, which is fine, but that way all the babyfaces I'm interested in are all stuck in this match. The Divas will still be in some random tag match that lasts 2 minutes. Then there's the whole Cena thing, which just isn't for us. Using this to elevate Sandow would be cool... but you can call me skeptical about whether or not that'll happen.
3/10 on it's own merits. Lower if you factor in Packers/Bears.
