Good job by Mick Foley putting the young guy over. Makes sense it was Foley too, both he and Wyatt had/have the split personality characters. Kind of a passing the torch moment.

Maybe I don't like the nostalgia acts but I hated this show mostly besides the Austin bit.

Seth badly needs a heel turn. He was always best as a heel anyways.

Yup, Austin killed it, everyone and thing else was cringe. Absolutely no point or purpose to any of it. Ohhh look it's dvon Dudley, and rvd and the hurricane. Degeneration x needs to never come back again. Samoa Joe was right, the whole show just reeked of desperation.

Chicken heel Seth is best for business

Cocky ass heel Becky is best for business

Boss heel Sasha is best for business

Gold clad OC is best for business

Heel Brock vs. tweener Fiend is best for business

Samoa Joe as champ is best for business

Kelly Kelly back on TV is best for business

Read in one YT comment during the OC - DX face-off. After RoadDogg's promo regarding numbers game, it would have been awesome to hear, "SHOCK THE SYSTEM." and UE comes out.

That was one of the best RAWs I've seen in years the only parts I didn't like was with the current roster lol
especially Joe vs. Reigns yet another recycled match we've seen for years and I think Joe has replaced Rusev
as Roman Reigns personal jobber.

Good use of the legends it's just sad to see them mostly elderly now its crazy how fast time has gone. They're
severely limited in what they can do and most of them can't do much physically. My favorite part of the show
was the pacing I love fast paced wrestling shows and I wasn't really bored during the 3 hours which I've never
said before. Was surprised guys like Orton, Big Show and Jarrett weren't included and I guess Sid ended up having
a Soft Ball game tonight.

I don't care that this RAW didn't really build much for SummerSlam since SummerSlam seems to be a PPV full of
matches and feuds we've seen a thousand times already hell even NXT TakeOver is a main event we've seen a
thousand times.

Oh yeah the Women fans are out raged on twitter that there were no women matches on RAW tonight.
#givewwewomenachance is trending and they're trolling everything from tonight.

I'm at a point that I'd like to see RAW become an all male show and Smackdown and all female show.
I'm curious to see how the women would hold up on their own. If they're profitable and there is an
interest for it then give them more if not then it shows why WWE limits them. Combining both of them
together along with the wild card rule isn't giving mid card and lower card talent much of an opportunity.
With the 24/7 tittle and Womens Tag-team tittles theres just way to many tittles now.

I would mix the rosters for PPVs and the hottest acts and feuds get the prime real estate

Yeah as for Orton, he's somewhere inviting Ospreay for a match on SD, lol

Wasn't a fan of the 24/7 title but once I established the thought that it's all for comedy and is not prestigious, I'm enjoying it.

WWE is gonna be so screwed in ten years when they no longer have any stars to bring back because they haven't created any in over a decade.

He used to be able to cut some amazing promos, and now even that has fallen off a cliff. Rollins talking about Lesnar wanting to be him after cashing in the briefcase four years after he did it...and somehow he's trying to imitate Rollins? I guess Rollins must have somehow forgotten that Lesnar didn't need a briefcase because he was the champ for most of that duration?

Moreover, why is Miz relegated to just specifically a talk show host? He's been much more entertaining and effective than Rollins has been for a long time now -- those roles should have been reversed last night.

At first I was like, "Wouldn't it be difficult to tell a story without having the facial expressions?"

Then I remembered this Glen guy who wore that black and red mask.

Hey now. Vince is creating a sophisticated product here. Stars just get in the way of that.

Can't believe they aren't gonna punish Jimmy Uso, I would've liked a Jey Uso singles run... Roman needs an opponent for SummerSlam, right?

Can definitely see Gallows & Anderson taking the titles tonight though.

Well, this leaves no doubt they are going for an adult (and more violent) hour 3. That was excellent.
