i really thought the tag match was gonna be rhodes bros vs. usos

if theres one thing i hate since i started watching again its the way they build up feuds to PPVs.

wrestle 3x on raw
wrestle on a couple smackdowns and main events
tag with random guys and wrestle again

PPV match is only one that matters

REMATCH CLAUSE

50% repeat, 50% no mention of feud ever again

seems suboptimal to just bury all the other potential contenders along the way to getting Cena squashed, but that's just me

I was purely trying to read tea leaves. I wasn't endorsing the plan of action. Just looking for reassurance that LOLCenawins doesn't happen this month. For once people who bitch about Cena winning would actually be 100% right about how awful it would be given the timing.

ffs, for the last 3 weeks the first thing I see after turning in is some Bella recap. It doesn't matter if I turn in at the start or miss a bit.

If Brie and Nicki hate each other so much, why do they share a twitter account?

Glad I tuned in just in time to see the Bellas stuff and the 6-diva tag "match".

Started 40 minutes late and caught up already.

Generic opening leading to generic probable Cena wins ending. Don't care.

Tag team match with a couple of guys I used to care about, but have been jobbed out so much I no longer do. Obvious ending with another champ jobbing.

How is Cesaro the #1 contender to any belt? He's been losing to Swagger who has been losing to Rusev over the last month.

No Brock, No Ambrose......rest of this show has no upside, but there's nothing else on.

Inexcusable to suck so bad with all the talent they have on the roster

I just don't see the Michael Sam invitation being a good idea. I mean, when was the last time a RAW went by without something derogatory towards gays?

Okay I'm just watching this as background noise, but basically the show is as follows?

Good:
*Bo Dallas appearance

Bad:
*Everything else

I could have missed something I suppose.

This is the most lifeless Raw I can remember. Can just tell that nothing is ever going to happen.

Right? Darren young comes out and he was on tv like 2 more times, never to be seen again.

Not that I care that much, but the Bella turn isn't believable. It's too extreme. Brie and Nikki were the best of friends all these years, and overnight Nikki hates her guts? Seems like feuds would be way better if some sort of legitimate-looking rift happened and the good and the bad side of it were more subtle. You can make Nikki look like the less likable of the two without just turning her into this cartoonish she-devil who suddenly became filled with hate.

Remember 6 months ago when Daniel Bryan was main eventing WM, Cesaro was in the Elimination Chamber, and the Shield was in this awesome feud with the Wyatts? The WWE was building new stars and had a bright future.
