Re: WWE Raw Results - it aint great folks
It was pretty poor, and I've enjoyed Raw for a couple months now. Clearly backed off from the Rollins/Wyatt finish, even though news is that both Wyatt and Banks were not cleared.
They have managed to make their male roster into lesser athletes. Thankfully, they appear to be pushing their women really well. Last Woman Standing was really well done, the tag match and then breakdown into Bliss and Cross coming in was really good.
They now have a division of female talent that could compete across levels and have layers of feuds.
The men are just cucks, either to Lashley or two combat sports stars:
Brock kills Kofi in seconds. He's mangled Rey, whose way to get revenge isn't to fight him, but to bring in another MMA star. Braun is desperate to fight a boxer, whilst the roster couldn't hold said boxer back

Re: WWE Raw Results - it aint great folks
To be fair, this had to be a filler episode, with the draft on Smackdown and it being the Raw after a PPV, they couldn't really build much in terms of storylines. I liked seeing Aleister Black murder the Bollywood Boys, the arms behind the back Dragon Sleeper is something I've seen him use before but seeing it in a WWE ring for the first time was tremendous.
The Kabuki Warriors are great heels, that match with Becky and Charlotte was probably the highlight of the show, amazing how over Asuka, Kairi and Io Shirai were as faces, and yet they've become over as heels so effortlessly.
