Raw has been really good for a spell. If they cut it down to two hours, I’d really enjoy it, but that’s not happening and they’ve shown that it’s not impossible to produce good tv over 3 hours.

It’s a little less dry than it used to be and the roster feels used more.

The OC hold tags and a singles title. The New Day hold tags and a singles title.

The Triple Threat tag match and the last 20 minutes were both excellent. Its nice to see a show not have a 2/3 falls match for once.

I agree with Dolph, if this show was cut down to 2 hours and lost a bit of the filler stuff it could be excellent. You can already feel the Heyman stamp on things. Nice to Cedric get a bit of shine, can see him going after the US title before the end of the year.
