It's the first RAW of 2017, and while the reaction certainly has been mixed, there's no denying that there were some people who stood out. So who gets the first ever (HISTORIC!) award for the MVP of RAW?
(And the only reason I won't be doing one for SD is because I miss every other Tuesday due to work.)
BRAUN STROWMAN: Although his night ended in a double spear, Strowman's destruction of Sami Zayn in a Last Man Standing Match was his finest match to date. There's a reason he's considered a strong favorite to win the Royal Rumble.
CHRIS JERICHO: It takes two to tango, and Jericho and Reigns work well together (in fact, I can name maybe a couple of people who don't work well with one, the other, or both). Add in Jericho's antics during the Kevin Owens Show and while Reigns himself nearly made this poll as well, I want to restrict myself to three nominees a week and Y2J's Guerrero salute puts him in over the United States Champion.
KARL ANDERSON: The Club has suffered some of the worst booking since the Draft (not that they are the only ones), but if there is a title shot in The Club's future, the road there got off to a good start as Anderson picked up the win over Cesaro in a surprisingly good match.
VOTING OPEN!

Cool thread concept that should inspire some positivity.
Shame ya won't be dong this for SDL though as that's one I follow. Would anyone else be willing to pick up this idea for the other show?

Goldberg. Dude has been very entertaining since he came back and a part of it feels like his promo's aren't scripted and he's finally put in a position that he has to talk to market himself. It's a cheat answer but he was really the only thing I looked forward to on Raw and well he delivered.
Edit: Hell he got me excited over the possibility of him vs. Roman Reigns briefly and that double spear spot was pretty cool.

The fact that somebody can say Karl Anderson vs Cesaro being a good match "surprising" really tells me how underutilized Anderson has been. Dude can f***ing wrestle, nobody should be surprised if he has a good match.

I'll give Braun the nod. He's really blossoming right now.
EDIT: Also fully onboard with this being a weekly thing. Considering the other Raw rating thread has been bastardized to all hell to try for either side to push a certain agenda, this is a welcome addition. It's a thread saying "regardless of what you thought of the show and WWE in general, what did you like best tonight?" Get some positivity back in the boards.
