    Well the show was in LA, so no surprise that they filled a few minutes with guests who live out that way (P. Diddy, Bryan, Scooby Doo), and no surprise that a few people seemed to have the night off (Zayn, Finn, Stephanie, Big E). This is probably why it felt more stretched than previous weeks.

    I am surprised by the generally negative response to the show; there were a number of positives for me:
    - I thought the Lensar/Orton promo was great
    - I liked the segment with Balor and think the overlaying Game-of-Thronesy graphics added in a way that wouldn't have been possible with a live segment
    - they finally made Gallows look strong by borrowing from CM Punk's advice and having him win a match
    - if Jericho and Owens working together don't bring a smile to your face I don't know what can be done with you

    Rusev's reaction to Reigns' spear at the end reminded me of the steam roller coming towards the henchman scene from Austin Powers. He had so much time to move.

    And that ending to the Sasha/Dana match was pretty badly done. Dunno if Charlotte went early or Sasha moved too late.

    Wonder if Bryan's line to Cesaro was improvised. Seemed that way.

    Two things about that Raw what was the point of having Bryan there? That looked like it was going nowhere.

    Also looks like we're going to see Bubba turn on DVon. Yay.

    Terrifying that they still think it's a good idea to let Reigns do snarky promos and the like... While he can be pretty good at getting heel heat, that kind of **** veers far closer to cringe inducing xpac heat for me. Really exposes him, don't get it.
