Great RAW tonight. Pretty hyped for Sunday, even if it is during EVO time.

Did we get any Kane gifs from the opening of the show?

First hour wasn't much beyond the NXT divas stuff, which was played up as a revolution, but really didn't feel like a big deal. It felt like something WWE would call a big deal - like WWE Fatal Four Way. Loved the Rusev vs. Cesaro vs. Owens match. It really made everyone seem like a star, except for Owens.
Rusev came off like a total face here. Moreso when his fairly-earned shot was taken from him by an Owens cheapshot. The Stardust gimmick continuing was pretty stupid. Just make him Cody again, have him cut a great promo - because he can, and give him the IC Title and see what happens. Main event contract signing dragged on a bit, but wasn't really long - and I did enjoy Brock just flipping the table around with one hand like it was nothing. I loved Seth being a super-dick to Kane, although it feels like they've gone done this exact same road many times. Maybe Suplex City has a lot of roundabouts.

Rollins out here cutting struggle promos. Attitude era jobbers were better on the mic.
I do believe Reigns is turning, Ambrose is fairly over as a face so no need to turn him.

That would be cool. I wouldn't mind that.

Struggle promos are his specialty.

Joins the Wyatt Family, merges with the Authority to form the Cult of Corporality.
like Undertaker
and Vince McMahon
DId Austin know it was all his plan
ohh
he's the Cult of Corporality
Yeah, thankfully all the finals will be on one stream. PPV on the TV, EVO on laptop.
Watching SWERVED now. I would follow Alicia Fox, too, Truth.
Rusev standing next to Owens really puts into perspective the differences between bearmode and bagelmode.

Seriously. It's the occasional glimpses of brilliance like that which make me really wish WWE would find a singular creative vision and just stick to it - even if its dumb Chikara-esque comic book bullshit, instead of trying to be an ESPN-ish (seriously? pre-shows?) everyman variety show that doesn't manage to land like 90% of its marks.

I just realized we'll get Paige vs. Sasha very soon. Everything is awesome.

Good reason why piledrivers are banned, especially jumping Tombstones

They should do all the fight advertisements for a specific ppv like that. Once a year, keeps it special and really gives it that little extra.

Frazier was holding the championship belt after winning tonight's HR derby. They must be giving these things out like water.
400 bucks on a replica for free advertising on national television associated with winning and keeping people thinking WWE when they talk about championships.Frazier was holding the championship belt after winning tonight's HR derby. They must be giving these things out like water.
It's legitimately one of their smartest crossover promotion attempts.

As noted in the post above, this is great advertising. General public will associate champions with these belts.

Not to mention it's the scratch logo belt, they're probably just trying to clear out stock of those anyway.

Actually the fact that it still has the old logo makes me think this one wasn't given by the WWE. I mean they still could but the ones given to the USWNT, Blackhawks, Warrriors, Giants, Pats all had the new logo.
Yeah it's possible one of the dudes bought a belt from the website to give to the winner because everyone thinks a championship belt makes a champion look boss as fuck.
WWE actively feeding on that is damn smart and doesn't appear desperate. Rodgers was holding the Lombardi Trophy with the big gold replica on his shoulder on his own volition. Cultivating that is good. Why let any other promotion get in on association with championship belts? Make people think "WWE Championship Belt" instead of generically thinking champ or some other company.

Yes. Definitely from the second hour on. But nothing was terrible.
