WWE Raw Results - Spoilers Ahead

Seth Rollins comes out (wearing a “Never Shuts Up” shirt mocking Cena’s tee) and brags about breaking John Cena’s nose, and the crowd chants ‘thank you Rollins’ at him. He says he felt it crack and heard it pop, and Cena kept fighting and caught him offguard, but it will never happen again. Rollins says they should do this one more time, but this time it’s title for title, winner takes all at WWE Summerslam! Rollins says it doesn’t matter if he beats Cena or Cena just doesn’t show up, because he will be the first person to hold the United States Championship and the WWE Championship at the same time. He reminds the crowd this is the same area where he won the WWE title, and it’s the same venue as the first ‘John Cena Open Challenge’, so he’s having one of his own right now! Rollins says the Authority allowed it as long as it’s an opponent under six feet tall and under 200 pounds… and Neville answers the challenge.

Neville vs Rollins was very good. The two near falls were awesome and the crowd bought into it big style.

Heymans promo was awesome again. The man can do no wrong right now.

The 6 man tag was fun. Not a technical masterpiece, but still fun.

Everything else was there. Nothing really stand out.

Matches good. 

Storyline telling boring.

Thought it was decent again. Good consistency in general, moved a lot of things towards their goal without forcing the point.

First time I have watched Raw for a while (my little boy is just getting into it), cant believe the dross they pump out for 3 hours, when they could have a decent 90 minute show!

The same adverts, same plugging of the network, highlights shown 3-4 times throughout the show! Makes it into a bit of a yawnfest!

I miss Mark Henry and his Hall of Pain. Sucks that he's been booked weak for a while. Guess he's nothing more than a jobber now.

Serious question - What has happened to Ziggler?

He's been filming a movie. In Kayfabe he was taken out by Rusev.

Ta - Can't wait for that feud!

They had a cracking match on NXT about a 2 years ago. If that was anything to go by, and factor in how much better each man has got then the matches should be brilliant. The whole story around it is pants though.

Tell you what, Cesaro was on absolute fire on Smackdown. He seems to have just gone for it in the ring and with personality in matches too. He's doing things he wouldnt have done before and the crowd love it. And you can tell WWE are piping in some cheers for him on SD, always a good sign that the bosses are into what a guy is doing.
