The traditional tag-matches actually served a purpose during the brand split days. Team RAW v Team SD was always fun and allowed upcoming stars to shine on a big stage, despite it not meaning anything. This year we don't even have a Team Superstar A vs Team Superstar B! The two title matches look abysmal, partly due to their predictability.

The buyrate will be very low.

Yeah, this ppv is terrible.

I might be in the minority, but the only reason why i'd watch is if we seen orton vs bryan again. Not feeling any match on the card. They even put the IC title change on raw, not the ppv. Not sure why.

This makes me wonder how it would do if they used TNA's model. If they had a special Raw next this week with 3 title matches + 2 action-packed tag matches announced, wouldn't that be a pretty big deal? We couldn't wait for the 5-on-5 match, and while imo Punk and Bryan vs Harper and Rowan doesn't feel like a "big PPV attraction", on Raw it would be "a main event caliber match stuck in the undercard because this is an important show".

Guess it's all about the fishing bottom line. They put it on PPV because that'll make them more money, but Vince has to wonder if "disappointing PPV buys" are really > "nice spike in ratings".

Give them credit for this though: They are really setting you up to think we'll get through the WWE title match without a bullshit finish, and it is pretty unpredictable. Yay!

I feel that we are at the bottom of the mountain right now in the WWE. The IC & US hasn't really had a storyline. Tag Team had a 3 week storyline, now they don't have anything. The Authority angle is kinda random at the moment. I think The Authority needs to extend it's ranks. I'm kind of angry that Damien Sandow isn't in the WHC Match. The way that him & Cena built a mini feud just to be thrown away for a Ziggler feud.

I also say, replace Jack Swagger & Cesaro with Sandow & a random. And replace Rhodes & Goldust with Ziggler & a random. Then make a Tag Team Championship match between the All-Americans and Rhodes Bros.

The Road to Mania/Mania itself has been bad-at-best the last 2 years. The things you complained about like lack of mid card feuds and mid card title feuds tend to be even worse come the RTWM
