The gently caress did you want them to do today, if not replay the matches? Real answers.

Honestly? Clip show might have been better than giving people who paid money to watch last night the back of their hands by showing this for free.

Especially when you already have a number of people who feel as if they've been badly used, financially-speaking.

Yeah, gently caress this. Giving away the matches is one thing, but the crowd noise edits are insulting. Good luck, whomever stays.

Clip show of good stuff over the last year to remind people why WWE can, in fact, be good, including Roman Reigns matches that weren't terrible, would have been fine

Hmm, we appear to have insulted the poo poo out of our fans last night and they took it hard enough to punch back. What can we do to salvage this?

Oh there's no win here, there's nothing they could do that wouldn't suck, but at least, I dunno, some kinda fallout show or something could get cobbled together couldn't it?

They already did that after the PPV

I guess they could have aired that. Hell, they probably will air the promos

If they were smart they would have replayed this match last. Although I guess playing the Rumble first might have alienated so many viewers nobody would stick around for the awesome triple threat.

Please rebroadcast the Rock getting booed.
They've not changed it much but it's been very, very slightly balanced out.

HAHAHAHAHA so here's a poo poo show with ONE great match, and for you suckers that paid. Here's compensation by showing the drat thing for free. So much for having the heat die down. If they MASSIVELY edit the boos it will only make it worse, if they let all those boos and bullshit go through it will only make stew what was already there. Best Raw of 2015.

Promos from wrestlers on angles they're involved in (that limits things to Cena and Rusev sadly), in-depth interviews with guys on how they feel about their performances in the Rumble and what they intend to do going to Wrestlemania, recap packages followed by roundtable discussions on stuff - primarily angles building towards Wrestlemania. Something with the Authority being pissed off about something and calling an angry meeting about it. Seth Rollins finding a Playboy in Jamie Noble's locker and giving him a stern talking to.
