I love Stardust. Didn't expect that.

Second hour has been crap.

While I don't think it's 'pure cack' I really think it should have happened organically. Let Paige recruit Becky, then a week later bring Charlotte into the fold. A week later again, Naomi springs the Sasha bomb on us.

The fact Becky and Charlotte were just assigned to Paige and likewise Sasha with Naomi and Tamina just kind of put a downer on it in my opinion.

Well you know WWE, they see something happening and then try to milk it excessively.

Bret Hart

Thank you indeed Jon.

Moneymaker

Logical enough given he had such a rant about Undertaker's streak last night.

Faugheen

Now this is more like it!

Professional Griefer

Wonder how hammered he is? :pac:

Oooft Lana.

I'll be back in a minute.

Stereomaniac

I'd love it if Triple H smashed the statue with a sledgehammer in front of Seth Rollins and then attacked him with it, facilitating Sheamus' cash-in. Instant face heat for Rollins as well.

Faugheen

Ryback/Owens would be great fun come to think of it.

Faugheen

Please for the love of God not another Show turn...

Bret Hart

Loving this beat down on the Big Show

Imagine though, Big Show as a face and Kane as a heel, are you thinking what I'm thinking?:cool::)

Bret Hart

I ****ing love Steph.

Rjd2

So yeah, that has confirmed it, Sting getting involved with Seth now.

seandotcomm

is he in the box? :O :O :O
that would be awesome!

seandotcomm

awesome harmonies there

Faugheen

I wonder will we see Vince...

Probably not

Kerplunk124

We love you really Vince!

Bret Hart

I wish they would give Rollins a proper theme.

seandotcomm

What if it's Kane

Xenji

Sting looks in the best shape he has been in for years.

Kerplunk124

My balls just dropped at the sight of Sting with the title not gonna lie

johnnysmack

Why is sting missing half his face paint already!

seandotcomm

What a great Raw

Heard a "this is boring" chant and a few other random ones during the diva match.

Moneymaker

Her and Nikki are being whiny bitches.

Crowd hated the match, random chants galore and a lengthy mexican wave, I'd imagine their will be some fallout back stage.

Best 3hr Raw I've seen anyway, every segment made sense and was interesting. Only wish I hadn't checked the thread here before watching the last part.

Stereomaniac

I like it when they make the main event for the next pay per view the night after the last one.

rovert

Creative are turning the crowd's behaviour into Team Bella heel heat a decent enough save:

As close as you are going to get in terms of a shoot from Becky:

Jon Stark

I can't speak for Brooklyn but for me personally, I don't like how all the women have been thrown into one big storyline.

It doesn't feel organic and it's hard to know where they're going with it. Sasha and Bayley worked so we'll because there was something there to get invested in.

Whereas the main roster storyline just seems a bit aimless. It's very lip servicey and that's why I think some have turned in the crowd.

Rock Lesnar

Very good Raw, absolutely loved the Dudleys return, as they were walking out, and Titus was talking over JBL's intoduction of them, i was imagining vince in the headset saying, Titus Shuuuuuuuuut Up!!!

No interest in 2015 Sting, but it was a good way of bringing him back.

bmorrissey

Maybe im thinking too much into it but if sting gets a title shot, all logic is gone, he hasnt won a match in WWE yet and he gets a title shot. Then again maybe im looking too much into it

Lord TSC

The Good:
I marked big time for the Dudleyz. That was ****ing awesome and I had no clue it was coming. Loved it.
Guessed Sting was in the box, but I actually do like the idea of a Sting vs Rollins story; Sting should NOT win the title, but if its a case of helping build Rollins, I'm all for it.
I could watch Brock supplexing people all night.

The bad
I defended Jon vs John last night, but I really didn't like the payoff tonight, since it basically solidified it was a one-and-done situation with Stewart. The explanation could have been so, so much better and they went with calling Stewart an idiot smark, basically.
The crowd ****ing on the Divas match made me sad, but it wasn't unexpected; the booking of the divas has been non-existant, and you can't keep doing tag matches over and over and over.

The Ugly
The new Wyatt family member looks like Sam from Game of Thrones. :P

MizTv with the divas was one of the most cringe-worthy segments I have ever seen!

The Dudleys return, on the other hand, magic!

It was dire, zero personality by PCB. I'm glad Charlotte mentioned she is Flair's daughter again, I forgot.
Typical loser mark audience that hung around like a bad smell after the NXT show & SummerSlam

lycan238

Have not seen this yet and probably glad I didn't watch it live last night. Will watch it later in two parts using my recording of the show.

In all honesty though wwe dropped the new nxt divas (sasha becky and charlotte) into a storyline too early. Why not wait and call up Bayley with them and have shield 2.0 or even Sasha Becky Charlotte vs Nikki Brie and Fox?

I dislike the smarky crowds as much as anyone, but I have to admit that they're also the most vocal and participative. Sometimes this means cringey or offensive chants in some of the more 'militant' cities, but they give the biggest pops, too. I'm sure it's no accident that the WWE chose the city for these three shows, to generate maximum fanfare.
