They aired that just as he came back, also, Hot Tag! That show is officially my favorite thing on the network.

For sure. I was actually worried that they got prematurely cancelled when it went on a break for a bit there.

The first episode was a bit of hot garbage with some fleeting funny parts, but every episode since then is better than the last one.

So RAW was good ?
It was. Zayn and Styles had an amazing match.

I think they finally got ahold of things by the Spring Break episode. I am worried it's a one and done like some of the other shows which aside from Countdown and Culture Shock, weren't really that interesting.

Looks like Anderson and gallows are running an outsiders gimmick

Heh, someone on another forum had a neat idea for the 'third man' for Anderson & Gallows

and it's not Styles or Balor

Harry, did you see Justin Turner behind the commentator booth tonight?




Also Enzo looks cool to watch but he got a look of Scotty Too Hotty, Cena, & FBI combine

Raw was so good tonight, the pacing was really good right from the start. The only problem is Reigns as champion, the guy is just a bore in the ring and on the mic.

God I hope not. At least here and /r/squaredcircle it appears to be gaining traction. Hopefully they let us know when the new episodes are scheduled to come out when the cartoon bumps them from the "show after RAW" spot.
 
So, if WWE isn't really afraid to namedrop Bullet Club...do they have Gallows/Anderson cut a promo along the lines of "We were the Bullet Club, but that's ancient history. We're Bulletproof" or do they just tiptoe around it entirely?

I imagine if they were gonna mention BC they would've said something during the debut, but then again commentary is trash anyways. NXT commentary did it a few weeks back
 
Thoroughly enjoyed raw tonight. Feel bad for Apollo Crews though, it's painfully obvious he was called up too early. The dude looks great and clearly has great athleticism, he just needed time to grow a personality in NXT. Enzo and Cass though, they're killing it.

raw was good

felt the anderson and gallows reveal was a little out of nowhere, but i like where it could lead with this tournament.

i know its just kayfabe but shane shouldnt leave, i like him on the show. having no stupid authority story line makes things so much better its incredible.
 
Man, they actually used three hours of raw to extend storylines at every level of the card

imagine if they did that every week

i know its just kayfabe but shane shouldnt leave, i like him on the show. having no stupid authority story line makes things so much better its incredible.

It was great. Shane having Owens escorted from the building was logical after last week, and Owens not finding his way in felt like a breath of fresh air.
imo they should keep Shane as the face gm figure, but not every week - he should only pop up maybe once a month to resolve some big issue like he did tonight.

Watching a replay of Raw to see what I missed and that beatdown of the Usos was perfect. Will be interesting to see if they're setting things up with AJ and/or Balor.

Damn, even this Cesaro/Miz feud is entertaining.

What the fuck, the Authority leaves, Shane's 'put in charge' and Raw is watchable and even compelling!!? I don''t know if this meta-booking or how deep this really goes....
 
Just started raw, I'm totally getting worked here because I like what Shane is selling.

I've got to remind myself that nothing has really changed.....right?
 
I miss Triple H burying real life and people with dead-end jobs
I miss Steph yelling at people and looking good doing it
I miss the Authority, guys. When are they coming back? :(
 
Is there any evidence that there was some kind of real change in writing or direction for this episode? It was too much improved to be a gigantic coincidence. Every single segment had purpose and delivered in its own way. Even the main event that no one wanted to care about ended up fun because you could cheer Bray and boo Reigns at the same time. Was not expecting the epic boos to continue beyond RawAfterMania but that still sounded pretty ruthless.

00Cesaro is freaking perfect past the music. Took long enough. Love the Booty-O's™ tourney bracket. What's the record title reign? Just let them have it, please. They wouldn't be mentioning the number of days held for no reason. A guest host they used for story purposes? Wizardry! Amusing backstage segments? Check. Cheesy backstage segments? Check. Face GM imposing himself on heels? Check. Excited crowd? Check. Roman was the only thing that was awkward, and that was so much booing that it was entertaining in its own way. No idea what the endgame for Face Wyatts is.

I am 100% aware that I'll be punished for my optimism and RAW next week will be godawful. Dammit. And I'd just escaped.

Was there even a distraction finish tonight? Aside from Charlotte and Nattie I think everything ended clean. It's been a while since that happened on Raw.
