Quick Raw Thoughts
With one major thing.
This was an interesting show but the big story is the crowd. These people were absolutely annoying all night long and most of it came from one section. This would be the section that seemed to get its tickets due to buying the travel package which included a hotel stay at the Sheraton. I know this because they started multiple SHERATON chants followed by multiple TRAVEL PACKAGE chants.
Then during the Corbin match, the fans brought out a beach ball and eventually lost it. This led to TEN MINUTES of beach ball related chants (“Beach Ball City!” “WE WANT BEACH BALLS!”) which continued all night long. This was in addition to all the aforementioned travel package/Sheraton chants.
Overall though it was a fun night with some nice surprises (namely Cesaro, Crews and what seemed to be a Wyatt face turn) but the runaway winner of the night was Enzo and Cass. The place came unglued for those guys and the reaction was amazing. Those guys are going to be over huge and a lot of it is due to how great Enzo is on the mic. Some guys just have it and he’s one of them.
Unfortunately it looks like Sami is hurt again as he landed off that flip dive and BOLTED to the back, clearly in a lot of pain. I’m not certain he’s hurt though as it would have been hard to fit Cesaro in there otherwise, assuming that wasn’t a last minute change. I also have an issue with him taking a table powerbomb if he was hurt fifteen minutes earlier so we’ll have to see.
I’ll go more into my issues with the lack of logic to the booking later, probably in a column.
Good show, though again I’m curious to see how it holds up on a regular viewing.
Yeah, Enzo didn’t say anything we hadn’t heard before (the comment about tears running down the back of his head to avoid his face was used in reference to Marcus Louis)–but the material was great fro the millions of people watching RAW who had never seen them before. Frankly, the delivery was more important than the jokes themselves.
As someone who has barely watched NXT ever ( I know); I was quite impressed
I don’t understand the point of having Shane host Raw after losing? It’s not as if anything happened that Stephanie or whatever couldn’t have done.
Nice;

Legitimate question. Are they slowly turning reigns heel? I ask because he came off as a real douche on Raw. I’ve seen some people say that was him trying to deflect the crowd the way cena used to. If that is true he’s terrible at it.
Thoughts?
I don’t think so. I think they’re just trying to get rid of the idea that he’s this milk drinking hero who does no wrong.
Gosh you hating on Roman Reigns? Yeah dude we get it you hate the guy.
Hating? Are you in the Roman Reigns fan club or under 12 or something? I was just asking if that’s the direction they’re going? But by all means continue being a douche nozzle.
I just heard douche nozzle today and wanted to try it out.
The Brits love their singing.
Enzo is good on mic but he needs new material……his insults came off as juvenile and lame.
I’ll give you juvenile but not lame. They had me laughing, though I really wouldn’t use that as a benchmark.
