So, RAW's 25 Anniversary episode was recently inducted into WrestleCrap. A worthy induction since it sucked. Anyway, that induction reminded me that this year was RAW's 30th Anniversary. I didn't see the episode, so I was wondering...
What happened? Could it have possibly been as bad as RAW 25?
I do know that it was called "RAW is XXX," which is just... I mean, why!? Why do that!? Why put "XXX" in the name of your flagship show's big anniversary episode, especially after all those allegations against Vince came to light?

If memory serves, the Trial of Sami Zayn at the start as a pretty good but too long segment then two hours of nothing.
Edit: Looking back seems like consensus, including my opinion coming out of it, was that the second hour was good but the third sucked.

It was better than the Raw 25th anniversary show. But that's also an extremely low bar.

It broke the pattern of Miz winning matches at anniversary/ milestone shows
RAW 1000: Miz beats Christian to become IC Champion
RAW 25: Miz beats Roman to regain the IC title
Smackdown 1000: Miz beats Rusev to qualify for the World Cup
Smackdown 20: Miz, Strowman and Heavy Machinery beat AJ, Orton, Ziggler and Roode
Raw XXX: Miz complains about not getting booked, Owens stuns him a couple times.

I remembered it mostly for the Trial of Sami Zayn and Sami/Jey Uso beating the Judgment Day in a tag title match.

I think it was Bray Wyatt’s last ever Raw appearance live.  |

It was better than the Raw 25th anniversary show. But that's also an extremely low bar. They could've had three hours of Triple H sitting in the ring playing with an ink pen and it'd have been better than Raw 25 because at least only one crowd would be getting ripped off. |
