I watched my first full episode of raw in 3 years last night due to it being on sky sports mix and what a load of crap....
Was that really the big annoucement that the mcmahons are in charge ?? They have always been in charge....
Few thoughts from the show
Vince mcmahon is really showing his age now its kinda sad seeing him like that, same with kurt angle.....
Finn vs dolph was what you'd expect the finish was drew getting his "heat" back
4 way tag match was okay
Ambrose vs breeze was pointless...
If ambrose was really a lunatic why didnt he just hit breeze with the title and beat him senseless its not like tyler breeze is going anywhere...
Women's gauntlet was okay but like everything else on the show is going nowhere
Overall wwe needs to change their whole creative direction, 50/50 booking needs to stop, and they need to start planning ahead everything wwe has done for the last 4 months has been pointless

The Rousey/Jax match was good, but the TLC match blew it away by a country mile!
What i meant by booked them backwards was, i think it would of been better to have the tlc match earlier and have becky retain and later cost ronda the title so that ronda could win the rumble and face becky at mania but now it seems it will be the otherway around 
i was thinking from a logic and business stand point...
Also that tlc match had so many botched spots and timing issues at one point becky tried to do a leg drop off the ladder and landed butt first full weight on charlotte's chest...
I think they'll still do the match at Mania, though. No way were they gonna have Ronda lose yet, so the way they did it was the only option (in their eyes). Aside from that, it was cool seeing Asuka win
Yeah, there were 2 minor botches at the beginning back to back (I wouldn't call the leg drop a botch), but they didn't hurt the match one bit.
I agree with you on your Raw thoughts. It was just the same old, same old!

Yeah, it was a nice change to see it. The problem with using the McMahons is that they only work as the bad guys, and WWE would be more credible using actual bad guys as bad guys, rather than fuelling their own egos.
Putting the belt on Asuka was another bit of Typical WWE - push someone in a big feud where they should win the belt, then don't give them it, then months later when nobody cares, suddenly give them the belt like an after-thought to make it seem cheap.
See also: give Daniel Bryan a push and let him say what he likes, but make out he's the bad guy and viewers should hate him for stuff like this:

She's gotten some really good reactions lately & got a good pop when she won the match, so people do still care about her.

Most reactions on smackdown are piped in.....
And they probably only reacted because nobody thought she would win
They missed the boat with asuka after letting her lose to charlotte and then did nothing with her for 6 months, i think this will be a christian type title reign very short wouldnt shock me if she loses it at tonights smackdown taping
looking back at mania it would have been better if asuka won the title then have flair turn heel on smackdown to start their feud.
I think kurt angle just announced his retirement on his Instagram page. Jason Jordan could also be retiring due to his neck injury, he has been working as a producer for wwe with Tyson kidd which both did the womens gauntlet match.
Hey guys, got this question for ya!
When The Undisputed Era stable (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly & Roderick Strong) do get called up from NXT to the main roster, which main WWE brand out of RAW & Smackdown Live would the group be best suited on?

They are better off staying in nxt to be honest, everyone that has been called up over the past year aren't exactly doing very well and these guys are all so tiny i dont think vince will do much with them
