I'm pissed that Kofi got another token midcard title reign. Cesaro held the belt for so long that losing it to Kofi of all people was just so anti-climactic. They should've pushed one of their other faces to take the belt off of Cesaro. It's like no other midcarder except Kofi gets to shine. It made no sense to me to abruptly change the title like that. If you want Kofi to win the title, fine (though I personally wouldn't). But why do it in a random match on Raw with practically no build-up? And yeah, I know Kofi beat Cesaro on Smackdown, but how much of the WWE Universe actually watches Smackdown opposed to Raw? Also, looking at the roster page reminds me of how much of a joke the brand split really is at this point. The only champions that are listed as Smackdown superstars are the Intercontinental Champion and the Diva's Champion. Every other champion is Raw brand.

The highlights for me were...
Divas!! Yay finally Diva action on Raw. Oh, well the match wasn't that great, but I thought it was decent for as long as it went on just as usual, the crowd didn't seem to care.
Cesaro "yodeling." He started yowling with that caterwauling business, I literally just had to ask myself what the hell I just saw.
Brock Lesnar breaking Heath Slater into two separate parts that could fit easily into the overhead compartment.

This is why I really couldn't get into the Raw last week, cause I just knew this would be back to normal in a week anyway. Honestly that crowd response is what the Raw deserved. Ziggler and Barrett lost after having big wins, Cesaro loses his belt in match with no build, and Punk, the guy always getting everyone's attention is gone. Ryback started his all to quick slide into generic heel and the Bellas are your old hat challengers to Kaitlyn. As I said in the Raw thread: Welcome back to reality folks. Well, it's not like we are remembering last week's Raw because of its booking either. Hell, half the reason the audience was being talked about was because they revolted against an awful Sheamus vs. Randy Orton match by actually making it entertaining. If anything, WWE's take on the Harlem Shake was just a bonus. True, but it was one also helped by a strong win by Barrett, a huge moment for Ziggler, and a well executed turn by Ryback. Nothing this week came close in the crowd reaction or good booking.

Only thing I liked was the Ryback stuff, but definitely not in the way WWE intended. Other than that, this was a truly dire show.

I don't think a single thing tonight went in a logical or at least relevant, proactive direction.
Not a single solitary thing.

About it. Touche. That was kind of awesome. The abruptness of it and the complete lack of promo had me laughing for a good minute. But other than that!

Tonight if nothing else gave us those insane bumps from Heath Slater, who also cut a great promo. "Where's that three man cover band!"

i don't see how it was terrible. Boring and dull perhaps (if thats what you mean by bad), but nothing with the booking made me scratch my head. (except kofi winning us belt) the title holders lost to set up feuds and crown no. 1 contenders. it wasn't to make them weak. I'm excited to see Punk come back, and see Ryback develop into a full time heel. WWE FAILS? why because you are entertained. WWE hasn't failewd since Nitro was on the air come on now.....

Just when I thought I would end my boycott, I read about how bad the show is
The only thing I am excited to see is Kofi Kingston have gold, but judging from the comments, it is not worth my time
RAW should not be getting three hours and should have just enough to focus on their top stars, be it with long drawn out segments or constantly using the same rematches that people do not mind seeing over and over

It was a let down to return to marksville this week. I'll take a wild and excited crowd a tad bit full of themselves over apathetic hayseeds any day of the week.

Barrett lost. Ziggler lost. Kathlyn lost. Cesaro lost, but at least he lost his title as well.
Stupid, lazy, booking to build feuds/title matches that don't help build suspense but rather devalue the belts. Other then that, I enjoyed Raw for the most part.
