If Finn is done in NXT (again lol), Raw needs him badly. And they gotta do Demon vs Fiend at some point.

Yeah, Finn was already talking about looking forward to going to Raw or Smackdown - which made it clear he was going to lose to Kross. Really good match, btw - and I thought Balor was actually the better performer and made the match what it was. But WWE is right to push Kross - he's got a superstar look of a champion and appears unbeatable. But he's not a finished product yet, imo.

That was one of Xavier Woods' best matches

In less sensitive time Vince would've made Reggie a blind Stevie Wonder character.

Mandy and Dana should just change their theme song to Pour Some Sugar On Me at this point

Really at breaking up Elias and Ryker already? I actually like Ryker's messed up from war character but there is no need to push him in singles so fast.

The work in the ring is on point most of the time.
It's the booking that's atrocious.

I hate it that Alexa has Bray's gimmick, Kane's pyro, Taker's storyline with Orton rehashed, and Torrie Wilson's effect on me

I have a feeling Piper Niven is going to be a huge star. Honestly love the pairing with Eva Marie. Let them run the women's tag division for a while.

Piper needs some new gear. Her current gear looks a little too indy-wrestler at the moment.

Intentional creative choice for the storyline though right? Once she separates from Eva Marie then I'm sure she gets a new look, but she's supposed to be marginalized for this angle.

That's been her gear for a while I believe. In that style anyway. But your point is good.

Hate Alexa even more now that she has Taker's sit up with Aleister's cross-legged seated position

Was pretty decent, but then Nikki Cross happened.

Woods vs Lashley was brilliant.

Never been a fan if Nikki Cross.

Same for Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler…just dead characters for me that provide no value at all.

I just skip their matches whenever I can.

Okay maybe I'm liking the Bliss character for the entrance and sitting on the rope thing while waiting for the opponent

And the rest of the show is better than usual. Like the decision to put new guys over. I mean who would've imagined Riddle, Morrison, and Ricochet winning against the likes of Drew, Orton , and AJ?! Really?! I mean I get the potential spots but still, with a high profile PPV we're getting fresh faces and feuds. Prince Puma and Johnny Mundo MITB! Bit concerned about Riddle though. Lots of ladders with exposed feet, yeesh

Riddle has had an absolutely exemplary Raw. The first 20 minutes was perfect, and this triple threat is starting out fantastic as well.
