Congratulations, Enzo. Those were officially the worst pick-up lines I've ever heard. The hot sauce one? I thought Enzo was a pick up artist. I'm actually studying pua, but I'm just starting. I really need to ketchup.

I think its a good way of taking them to the next step, Its great that the women can carry thier own fueds but what really cemented the likes of Trish and Lita were the involvement in mens story lines as well. I dont think Trish and Lita would have been the top level stars they were without that kind of involvement.

I take the bad with the good of the segment. What it did (eh, what it *tried* to do even in its own sexist kinda way at times) is legitimize women's division further by not putting them on their own isolated island. Arguably, the most over babyface male in the company and the most over female in the company equals sharing of the love among the fans. Those that love one get to collaterally siphon that off to the other. Likewise, Jericho's interruption as an uber heel was perfect and gives some recognition to Charlotte as a heel.
I *loved* the idea of it. Enzo's treating Sasha like a toy he's looking to pick up and play with part of it did not hit the mark and took away from Banks' credibility as a bad a- a little bit, and I didn't much care for that. But the idea of putting them together in the segment together was awesome. More eyes on the women's division that may have not been buying in; at least the intent was there.

I loved it for the idea as much as the execution also. Taking the mic away from Charlotte is probably for the best, too.
The Enzo and Sasha bit didn't interest me in the least.

I knew I would find this thread the moment the segment even started. It was the only thing I enjoyed on the entire Show... No offense, but you didn't enjoy Sami vs Seth?

Jericho making fun of Cass for sounding like a mongoloid was the greatest thing ever

It had it's ups and downs...
Sasha's opening promo was pretty rough for instance.
but it's good to see they are going back to having the roster interact instead of everyone being in their own little bubble.

Anything with Chris Jericho in it is the drizzling shits (to me anyways). I cannot stand the site of him anymore as all he does is make me want to change the channel. He needs to piss off and go tour with his shitty band or host lame game shows. Just get him the hell off my screen.
That was so unnecessary last night to put him in that (or any other segment for that matter). He's like an insta-matic fun killing death ray. It should have been the two women. That's all it needed to be. That segment much like the year 2016 had has no use for him and his lame ass.

Weird way to kick off a new women's champion reign with a guy talking about his "sauce". But at least Jericho was hilarious in it

It was an opening segment that involved no McMahons but, more importantly, showed characters interacting with each other. The show has a problem with feuds existing in vacuums even when they throw together tag matches out of people involved in feuds, and seeing interaction like this was good. A little rough around the edges, but it's experimentation and you're bound to get that on a weekly TV show that's suddenly feeling out creative decisions, so I can give it a pass for what it is despite its flaws, and hope they felt it was good enough to keep on with the concept and work out the kinks in the coming weeks. It's interesting that WWE, particularly with RAW, is on a kick of correcting their mistakes and one of the first things we get is... A) A very fresh open to the show. B) Different characters, from different divisions and positions on the card interacting with each other. Not all of it worked, it'd be fair to say that most of it didn't work since Sasha's character is still paper thin and she's not good with a live mic, but... I loved the idea of it and am more than willing to forgive the flaws. If the rest of RAW was this experimental, I'd might have liked it as much as last week.

On the whole, I liked it. It had it's downsides (the biggest one being the women really did not come off well at all, essentially being background noise by the end, and the weird sexual innuendos were something Vince Russo would write) but the idea of it was good in the sense that it was characters that you usually don't see interacting playing to each other.

I liked it. I like seeing people interact who wouldn't usually do so.

I loved it. You had a singles/tag competitor and two Womens wrestlers interacting. This is, in practice, how characters get fleshed out.

It was drizzling shitz but so was everything that followed. That fresh feel sure went away fast.

Big fan of it. It wasn't perfect, but I think that's what I enjoyed the moist out of it. I enjoyed the men and women interacting and some of the burns were real nice.
I was switching back and forth after the segment, but liked what I saw of the show for the moist part.

it was so strange and so glorious. I think it was giving the 4 most over RAW acts not in the men's main event booking their time to shine. Jericho has been on fire as a Jack heel of all trades mixing it up with midcarders, main eventers, and now even the women's roster. Sasha has always been over, not specifically for her promos but just timing-wise with the Women's Rev and 'We-want-Sasha' chants. Creative giving her the belt and this opening segment with Charlotte (the second half of the best Women's title match in RAW history) was gratitude. Enzo is clearly the next 'it' guy on the mic. He's as hot as CM Punk was post-pipebomb, and again good form for the producers of RAW to try and capture that lightning in a bottle by throwing all four of these people in the ring to magnify their overness against each other.
