RAW's been better than Smackdown the last few weeks

Until tonight... Three Heat DQ's on your show is not gonna endear me to rate it highly, that sucked.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

It's not a 1 with that opener but it's a 2 for all the shitty finishes.

[Deleted]

Cody's match reminded me why I stopped watching Raw before his return...but on the other hand, Alexa is back! And she seems to mostly be back to her pre-Fiend look and gimmick! So, 2/10

[Raw is Doodie101]

I don't mind DQ finishes especially to progress feuds further but I can't give a show that does 3 of them higher than a 6. Lots of storyline progression though which is good.

[asuka007]

I’ll give it a 7/10. There was actual progression on this show, which was refreshing for WWE.

[mistery]

I gave it a three, and that's only because that's how many DQs there were apparently. Also this is the first RAW I can remember where Bianca was getting outpopped by another woman in Asuka. Who would have figured giving Bianca all of these accolades and never having her face any sort of real adversity would have diminishing returns?

[edgestar]

Bias from being there, but I give it a 10. Everyone had a blast!!

The progression on the show outside of a few things feel like feuds that are still going on since Mania or before Mania though, that's an issue I have.

You guys sounded hot for some things and silent for others, not sure if that's just how it came across

Ya'll loved Cody though

[schizo]

10/10

Fun Raw IMO

We were loud, all night. It probably came across badly, on tv.

I mean, Wrestlemania was literally a month ago lol. It's not like any of these feuds are older than 2 months and many of them are progressing into combined feuds or progressing to a stipulation match ender.

EDIT: Bianca & Becky is coming up on a year almost but that at least is more Becky & Asuka added.

[asuka007]

It’s quite telling that shows that DON’T have Roman and the USO’s on it end up feeling better in the end.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I went 7. Some weak finishes but RAW still feels fresh enough and has direction.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Didn't watch but looking at the results it sounds like a miserable time.

When you have Mania Backlash as well it just kinda makes things feel tedious? Like that's just me, not a fan of it, hope some feuds actually end at the next PPV.

Personally, I like 2-3 month feuds especially when they follow the 1-1-1 rule of the normal match, rematch, & grudge match. I think that's just classic wrestling booking imo.

Honestly, I think it's less that and more A. fans knew they were going to get a bullshit finish because of course they would, and B. Asuka's fresher right now so she is the easier person to root for. Like, yeah, she's definitely not at her height of overness, but Asuka is pretty popular.

[asuka007]

Put Becky, Asuka, and Bianca inside a Cell and let them beat the crap out of each other please.
