Yeah putting New Day and Cena all at the start was a bold move, considering they don't really have anything else interesting going on.

Also putting the Diva Revolution talking segment on at the top of the hour... I'll be very interested in the rating this week

Reigns/Wyatt at HiaC, then Reigns/Ambrose/Orton/??? vs. Wyatts (+ Rowan?) in a Survivor Series Match. I'd be down for that.

That's definitely what my first thought was (including a returning Rowan) but A) no loving clue who the fourth face would be (Cesaro was my instinct though) and B) that'd mean another non-blowoff HiaC which...ugh.

mclast posted:

Reigns/Wyatt, and face Dean vs. tweener Orton.

Would also be down for this but only with these alignments. Orton needs to be heel more than Dean does.

I could also see Roman/Bray at HiaC just being a street fight or something and not a HiaC to make Brock/Taker stand out more but I'd love to see Roman and Bray in the cell.

Depends on how the following sentences make you feel:

-Kane literally snapped a broken leg/ankle back into place like Jason Vorhees after entering an ambulance as Corporate Kane and, seconds later, emerging as THEDEMONKANE
-Reigns and Wyatt beat the piss out of each other to a stalemate but a massive pop to end RAW

If you like these statements, yes.

Dude I put off subscribing to the WWE network for NINE NINETY NINE forever, until I figured I could just not drink for 1 day out of the month and have hours more enjoyment. If a drat DVR is only $8 a month more, you definitely need one, period!

Also watch RAW live, it's a lot funner that way :)

Cena can't out-funny New Day, so I'm glad he played the serious role. I mean, Cena was taking this challenge seriously and Xavier hung with him for a while, that's pretty cool.

Plus Cena is taking a title seriously for once, after years of us bitching about him laughing off losing world title matches.

I would just like to know what it's building to though. If it's just another way to get Cena over I'm going to be annoyed. If you give the win to a guy who needs it though that would be cool.

Interestingly, the ratings did the exact same thing last week when Cena was in the main event. Did they specifically move Cena to the opener to make him look better?

Their attempts to boost ratings is a Kane main event angle.

what was Bray's initial reason for attacking Roman? Was it some residual rage form the rivalry with the shield? Or was it something dumb, awful, spooky and vague?

Either way, I don't care how good any of the in ring action is (and I don't think it's really been all that engaging), I just cannot bring myself to care for a second about that feud and I want it to end almost as badly as I want the Ziggler Rusev feud to end.

Every Bray feud since... well just every Bray feud.

Wanna go back and look through all of Bray's feuds, I mean Bray's second feud was with Kofi.

If the 2.33 rating is correct, then this is the lowest rated non-holiday Raw since October 27th 1997 which drew a 2.3.

I don't know how ANYBODY can care about Reigns boring predictable never-ending Wyatt feud or anything involving Kane in the main event. Yeah some segments are funny but it's still terrible TV and the match won't be good. I def don't care about Brock/Taker 3 I'd rather see them both go against somebody else.

This whole Brock/Taker thing has been weird and I sort of wish they had just wrapped this up at SummerSlam, but I'm kinda glad they're both freed up for WrestleMania by having the blowoff at Hell in a Cell. Even if that is weird too.

There's actually more substance to it than most of Bray's feuds. Bray saw Roman becoming the next big hero and wanted to put a stop to it. The feud has brought up continuity from the Wyatts/Shield feud but rarely. It's more about Bray seeing what Cena did to him last year, and now considers the would-be Cena 2.0 a threat.
