Here are my Raw Thoughts:
Good promo by Liv Morgan. Dominik Mysterio & Finn Balor were both good too. Looking forward to seeing what happens next especially when Rhea Ripley returns.
Good promo by Sheamus. Damn, sneak attack by Ludwig Kaiser.
I know I said I wasn't going to do facts, but I had to do this research for tomorrow's NXT: Jordynne Grace is the 1st time a Champion from another promotion will wrestle in a Singles Match on WWE TV since Jeff Jarrett was NWA North American Champion on Raw in 1998.
Sheamus VS Ludwig Kaiser was a Banger as advertised.
Just saw a QR Code. It lead to this:

Good exchange between Ricochet & Ilja Dragunov.
Great video on Dragon Lee.
Dragon Lee VS Finn Balor was an awesome match. I love Braun Strowman's new shirt. Nice save by him & Rey Mysterio against JD McDonagh & Carlito. Guess we're getting a 6-Man next week.
Good segment with The Judgment Day.
Hilarious segment with The Awesome Truth & Carlito.
Incredible segment with Sami Zayn & The Alpha Academy. We're getting Zayn VS Gable at Clash At The Castle. I can't wait. After this segment, WWE has to re-sign Gable.
Good exchange between Bron Breakker & Adam Pearce.
I love this version of Chad Gable.
Ricochet VS Bron Breakker was great. Ricochet sold like crazy. Ricochet is another wrestler that WWE needs to re-sign. They can't let someone like him go. Nice save by Ilja Dragunov.
OK segment with The LWO.
Hilarious segment with Pat McAfee analyzing what happened earlier with Liv Morgan & Dominik Mysterio.
OK promo by Kiana James. But she already beat Natalya on last week's Main Event.
Natalya VS Kiana James was bad. Their match on Main Event was much better and it's no big deal that Kiana won since she beat Natalya last week.
OK exchange with The New Day & Karrion Kross.
OK segment with Natalya, Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler, & Zoey Stark. I also spotted Isla Dawn & Alba Fyre in the background.
Braun Strowman VS Carlito was a squash. I guess Dominik Mysterio is cleared to wrestle. Wow, Liv Morgan protected Dom. Damn Finn Balor stop being a C*ck blocker.
My TV froze so I missed most of the promo by Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill & Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark & the Women's Tag Team Title Match. But it looked like I didn't miss much as it ended in a No Contest.
Good promo exchange with Damian Priest & Drew McIntyre.
Excellent promo by Jey Uso. The crowd loves him. I love that entrance.
Good promo by Lyra Valkyria. I love everyone talking about MITB. What an attack by IYO SKY.
I got so backlogged in my records, that I never updated my MITB History with Damian Priest's cash-in. So, I can't plug it right now.
The New Day VS AOP was OK. I like the tension building between Kingston & Woods thanks to Karrion Kross.
Alright promo by Isla Dawn & Alba Fyre. Wow. First time ever 3 Championship Matches will all have Scottish challengers. They couldn't do it for K/QOTR since they don't have Saudi wrestlers or Backlash since they don't have any French wrestlers & did 1 match with 2 Australians for Elimination Chamber with Rhea VS Nia, but the other Australian wrestler, Bronson Reed was off the show.
Holy Toledo, what a show next week.
I hope they announce Trick VS Ethan Page for Battleground. I have to do my research just in case to see when someone made their debut in a Championship Match.
Rey Mysterio VS Damian Priest was a great match. Rey still is the biggest little man. They have had great matches in the past & had another one tonight. The interference was a little too much. Nice attack by Drew McIntyre. But who's the face in the match?
Here are my Raw Match Rankings:
1) Sheamus VS Ludwig Kaiser
2) Rey Mysterio VS Damian Priest
3) Ricochet VS Bron Breakker
4) Dragon Lee VS Finn Balor
5) Braun Strowman VS Carlito
6) The New Day VS AOP
7) Natalya VS Kiana James
8 ) Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill VS Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark
Ends a really fun Raw. The majority of the matches were great. There was a lot of promotion for Clash At The Castle & the beginning of the build for Money In The Bank. And I'm interested in most storylines on the show.
