Good episode of raw the start was good with Sasha banks and then charlotte comes down then Chris jericho comes down then Enzo comes down sets up a decent Mixed tag
See they are doing with reigns what they did with cena setting him up as US champion at summerslam.
Again 2 Squash matches get the feeling dont know what to do with Nia Jax until Charlotte loses at Summerslam and the push Nia Jax will begin
great ending with brock lesnar and paul heymen and then surprise appearnce of Randy orton
Another watchable episode back to back which hasnt been seen for awhile, interesting mix of fueds going round. I think the US picture would be a good spot for reigns as of at the moment as you pointed out very much looks a cena role but I honestly think rusev has been solid as a champion if we compare to the previous such as the likes of ryder and co, as for the squashes im all for them because its always going to do more good to enhance someones strengths tham weakness, which is perfect for someone like strowman and nia and when the time comes they already have been built up without booking other talent to get buried.
strowman and niz jax need to be facing lower to mid card main roster talent. ryback did a lot of them and never really got far.
I think what would be good for next year if the brand expansion is still in place is at night of champions is to have smackdown and raw champions face each other.
reigns got a good pop for once, I think reigns has US champion with an open challenge like cena did last year could put reigns over. like him or not cena took the US title to another level with his matches against rusev and his open challenge.
would love to see heymen and Enzo facing each other the mic, the rko out of nowhere at the end has perfect timing when heymen saying orton couldn't rko lesnar.
it would be funny to see foley using a tablet.
LU is ahead of WWE on mix tag matches but since wwe is pg they cant do that.
Think they are not using Mid card roster for squash matches because it can lead to a lot of resentment when a mid card superstar will be losing almost every match they take part in.

I also forgot to mention on raw, enzo was sasha was quality although admittedly was a tad jealous.
that lasted long Lesnar F5'ed Orton on Smackdown lol
The three hour running time is too long.Needs to be cut back an hour in my opinion.Also I would cut the amount of mind numbingly dull promos and crappy squash matches and actually concentrate on some good storytelling.
I am content the numbers didnt decrease so much in a drop, worst case scenario would be they panic and ditch the new emphasis and ideas on the product but we should have a better view on it in a few months time wether this has worked, storytelling is definitely missing in the modern era when done right.
