I just noticed Roman wasn’t on the show, and it ended up being one of the worst post-Mania Raws in recent memory. Coincidence.... or something more?! (It’s probably a coincidence. Shoutout to the Big Dog though.) I've been saying it for years. As for me, I didn't watch except the last few minutes but I checked Bleacher Report and from that I thought it wasn't bad. Problem is they likely weren't going to do much until next week. Thanks to the Shakeup, the Raw After WM has now become more of WWE's recovery episode than anything else.

Went to bed right before it, sounds like crap. Pretty much, though the crap is of the more interesting awful crap, as opposed to the bland crap that isn't even worth talking about.

I FF'd through 60% of WM, I had no inclination to even consider watching Raw, and nothing in this thread is encouraging me to consider watching it. Might watch SD sporadically again though.

I'm going with a 3. If it were a regular Raw, 5, maybe 6, but with it being the biggest Raw of the year it was a giant letdown. More thoughts/short review if you wanna check it out youtu.be/b99sJUtMrzY

8/10.
I watched on a delay w dvr. Ff'd breaks and anything with alexa bliss.
I went w 8 because i was entertained top to bottom, was watching without multitasking or on my phone, curious to see where last nights (Raws)developments lead tonight and next week.
I noticed they seem to be doing more segments, promos, character and plot development . Last night wasnt 3 hours of meaningless 30 min matches.
Edit: they were probably dead tired and couldnt speak due to throats being torn, but commentary should have said "why is the bar doing this" to sell it as a mystery on the show. They said it sort of the way one would when your friend tells you they're going to chug a 2 liter of soda.
Im shocked at the contrast in ratings. I havent watched a full episode of raw in years but i enjoyed last nights and plan to watch tonights sdl via dvr as well.
Edit 2: lars being brought up is gross. This was my first sighting of him & im biased as i knew about his message board stuff but he isnt that impressive of a monster, especially a roster w braun. He's built like (sometimes worse than) any bouncer at a club here in my hodink town, except he's ugly = push him?

So it is my yearly tradition, regardless of how I feel about WWE, to watch the post-Mania Raw.
It felt pretty much the same as it was before I stopped watching. Which, considering that I've been off the majority of WWE programming since last year, is very sad.
It gets a 2. I prob'ly would've been more generous if they hadn't pulled the bait and switch at the end. They could've easily made that tag match at the beginning of the show. Don't promise what you're not ready to deliver, WWE.

It was the most average RAW After WrestleMania ever, with the most generic regular RAW ending ever.
