Also, seeing that Truth was hiding under the ring in the table that Cesaro pulled out was actually hilarious.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

It appears as though singles Cesaro has returned to his role as forever Raw MVP.

Just give this dude the title already.

That show was horrific, and not in a WCW fun kind of way (theirs no steiner unfortunately). Every, single, segment (except the firefly house of course and Orton laughing his head off).

Also Cesaro truly has wasted nearly 10 years with this company getting nothing other than a tag run, its a disgrace that he hasn't won a world title and gotten significant time with the mid card belts (i know he was U.S champ once early into his run). That main event match at least was good.

Who wins Goldberg or Taker? I can't see Vince allowing a WCW legend beating a WWF legend.

Reminds of Sting vs. HHH where HHH won.

I can't comprehend how dumb it was for Lesnar to not cash in either. He sends Rollins off in an ambulance, yet can't pin him to win the title? How does that make any sense?

Especially after all the "Brock is going to cash in on Monday" promos that ran the previous few days. Now the cash-in is being set up for the Friday show, but I'm skeptical it will happen there either.

Audiences like to be surprised. They do *not* like to be trolled. WWE is playing a dangerous game these days.

That's really all WWE has going for them right now... Is Brock trolling with the cash in.

Especially when they cockteased Matt Riddle interfering, which would've been awesome
Fantasy Hoops/Football/Baseball fans..

I guess I'm the only one that doesn't see anything special in Cesaro another guy with no mic skills the
charisma of a lawn chair and the look of a midcarder. I liked him when he first debuted as Antonio Cesaro
and was managed by Aksana and did the different languages gimmick but he's just become so bland to
me over the years.

Only things I liked about RAW was the Bray Wyatt skit and the Devil McMahon puppet and Ortons non stop
laughing about HHH's balls being in Stephs purse. I'd be angry about WWE's trolling of Brock cashing in his
MITB against Rollins but I legit don't care if or when he does as I have zero interest in this feud. Also having
Brock of all people winning it and cashing it this early is about the worst possible scenario of all the possible
scenarios that could've been done so the whole thing is just a turn off.

What they should do is have Riddle interfere in Brock's cash-in as was implied and have that lead to a match for the case itself between Brock and Riddle. Riddle wins and now he's got the case, which is actually interesting.

What they will do is something stupid.

Riddle's already one of the best people on any of the rosters. He's probably more of a main event talent than most of the people up there.

Anyway, WWE ratings where actually up this week (somehow):

Hour one: 2.31 million
Hour two: 2.56 million
Hour three: 2.35 million

Up to 2.41 Mill average, not sure what the hour two spike was for but anyway. My guess is the Brock cash in (carny's gonna carny) and Taker's appearance (nostalgia, though i'm not sure if i'd tune in for a taker promo, not in his current iteration).

They deserved TNA on spike numbers because this was a TNA on spike show to be honest but it is a good result for the company.

To be fair, he hasn't been ruined by the main roster yet. Give it time.
