can't wait.

Hmm.... we've got the Survivor Series coming up, a pay per view that traditionally hosts multi-man tag team matches and yet we get the 12 man tag on RAW and a regular tag team match at Survivor Series. Brilliant


And the stuff with Vickie Guerrero seems a little close to the bone so soon after AJ collapsing (from dehydration apparently) on the European tour. I guess we shouldn't be surprised seeing as this is the WWE we're talking about, although I don't recall anyone feigning a torn quad in the days after Triple H did it.

Kevin Nash probably did

Glad Big E won, enjoyed the Maddox DDT, disappointed Rey is back, great main event, hated the divas stuff, enjoyed the broadway brawl, hated the same old cena rubbish.

nash was supposed to feign it but actually did it

also enjoyed seeing a cesaro section

Maddox offense made me mark a bit. Great main event, especially CM Punk's hot tag. Overall a good show. The last few post PPV Raws have been great so looking forward to next week.

I actually thought this was the worse Raw we have seen in Months. Did like the main event match, but as Undisputed said, it seems a bit silly having a 6 man tag match right before Survivor Series. 

Happy that Big E Langston won, hopefully Axel will just slide away now. 

Broadway Brawl was a good little match, The diva stuff was pointless. Does anyone know who the heels and faces of the divas division are now? Cause i swear Katlyin and AJ are on the same team on Sunday, even though they were a feuding a few months ago. 

What does everyone expect to happen in the big show v randy orton match? HHH said everyone is banned from ringside and Orton must fight him on his own.

A DQ finish.

Funny, I thought that was a really good Raw. The problem with the main event was that it will be better than the Survivor Series match/es but that doesnt detract from how good it was.

I dont so much mind there being a band on, good for the live crowd.

Im not a big Rey fan but if he's going to filter into the midcard then its a presence I will enjoy as thats his level.

And Big E another notch on upstaging Dean Ambrose!

Other positives: How good Ryback looked for much of that match. Maddox in general. Xavier Woods. Miz heel turn makes sense after they completely botched him as a face (I do believe they never gave him anything to make that face turn work, and a man with such natural heel attributes needs support for that).

Negatives being the Diva shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite, Ryback hitting the shellshocked on Big Show on a nothing match, the commentary team being god awful throughout the night and most blatantly when they needed to paint Maddox in a sympathetic light but instead laughed when he was getting hurt and joked as he did well.

Got to congratulate 3MB lately on getting the comedy jobbers heel thing right

I wouldve preferred Maddox somehow avoiding a beatdown and then being made to be the mystery tag team member at Survivor Series
