(End of Show, Raw ran 2 minutes over).
My Rating 3.7/10 A Bad Show. Really boring, alot of filler. I guess WWE just doesn't know what to do anymore.
Best Parts
NOTHING!
50/50 Parts
1. Bryan/Morrison. Not so great. Not long enough and Morrison was kinda botchy.
2. Orton/Ziggler. Ok match did not like the commercial break at the start.
3. Punk/Cena. Kinda boring match. Post match was ok, but felt like it could of been more impactful.
Worst Parts
1. Commercials, Video Packages, Video Recaps, Graphics, est. waste of time. annoying. Too much filler.
2. Opening Segment. Really long, boring.
3. WWE Tag Titles Match. Too short & why did Uso's get a title match after losing on Superstars every week!
4. Production talking. Come on you're WWE, you should not be making local news mistakes like this.
5. Natalya/Maryse really quick match. Why was Eve on commentary??? Like really why? What's the point. And Eve should read the script pushing Maryse jokinly after the match when Maryse had a segment to still do. And you have Melina on commentary and she never speaks and she does not do anything to Natalya.
6. Henry/Dibase. Way too quick match. Post match would of been ok if it matter. meaning not the guys you see on Superstars instead of Raw every week. Only Sheamus & Alberto should of been used in a segment like this. And why did everyone run down to the ring? And why was it Yoshi Tatsu & Tyson Kidd leading the way!
Should you watch the replay on Raw, Saturday at 7pm or 11pm on Universal HD? NO. Nothing to see this week.
