So they are STILL doing new angles in this Mysterio family vs Seth Rollins feud?

Seth has taken Rey’s eye, beaten Rey and Dom in multiple matches, and beaten them with kendo sticks. Why does he still care about this family?

Man, it is downright dreadful we are still being tormented with this mess.

I guess we're going to get Lea in the ring next.
 
I haven't watched Raw yet but how would you guys rate it? And yes, you can use negative numbers.

Only decent thing for me was the Lee/McIntyre match, Hurt Business, and seeing Peyton Royce in the ring. KO/Black has potential. Rest was kinda meh.

Zelina is a terrible option for facing Asuka.

Just split up Andrade/Garza already.

Meh go-home show.

Yeah, WHY exactly are we supposed to believe that Andrade and Garza would still be teaming together? Also, we've seen this match with them and the SP like a dozen times already.

And yeah, nobody is buying Zelina as an option for Asuka, especially when she's only had like one match now in like a year.

I'm still not sure why they turned Black heel (instead of letting him be the face to feud with Rollins), but he and Owens are both great. They could do some good work together.

I love McIntyre, and Lee (in the ring, at least), but I've been pretty bummed that Lee only has 1 clean win since being called up, and kinda feels like the 3rd wheel in the Orton/McIntyre thing. Again, Rollins needs a good babyface (who isn't a Mysterio) to do a program with. Lee could do a great job with that if they want to pair Black and KO. Lee is great, but I don't love him in this (outside of that win against Orton).

I didn't like splitting up the Iconics. I can absolutely see why they annoyed some, but I thought they were great throw-back villains. I at least wanted them to keep Billie Kay as Peyton's manager while Peyton became a single's wrestler.

But I do think Peyton has something (that spinning brainbuster finisher is wonderful to look at) and am interested to see where she goes. I think she's awesome.

Agree with all of this. To me, it's like Raw has a lot of good pieces to turn out a great show, but they just don't put those pieces together properly.

Yep. There are so many talented people on that show. It is crazy to me that it is the worst wrestling show of the week (by a lot, IMO).

I think that completely abandoning tag teams and not knowing how to book babyfaces (who don't look completely naive/stupid) have been big issues with the show.

They also seem reluctant to give the spotlight to any singles male performers who they don't think can give the 10-15 minute opening (painfully scripted) promo at the start of Raw. That has caused them to shelve a lot of talented people for no good reason.

Like you said, they just don't put the pieces together.

Roman Reigns will have a new look at Clash of Champions, but new music will take longer

More changes are in store for the Tribal Chief.

While I’m having trouble picturing a shirtless Roman with cargo/tactical pants, I’ll take whatever we can get as long as he stops wearing a Kevlar vest (especially when he is supposed to be this giant badass).

The pants are definitely a secondary concern to the shirt/vest. Some new music and a new entrance would be awesome (and well deserved) too.
 
Ugh. This one really sucks. He and Paul worked their arses off to keep Hawk together. Condolences to the family.
