I think the original plan was going to be Bryan and Cena meeting at Summerslam in a unification match.

He admitted the other day it's a concussion problem, which is good as most feared he'd done his neck again. WWE welfare policy states you don't see action for a year if you have two concussions in close proximity. He'll be back around Royal Rumble amusingly enough, third times the charm.

His independent doctor has cleared him but WWE won't let him back yet I think.

How cool would it have been if Rollins' open challenge last week was answered by Bryan? His music hits, he hits the ring, knee to the face, boom!

Very 'meh' RAW in my opinion. Nothing really stood out for me, although the Triple threat was alright.

Thought the opening segment was pretty good. I do enjoy Seth on the mic.

Seems I am in the minority but I thought it was a great Raw, was engaged throughout, good opening segment, divas 6 tag was enjoyable, the triple threat was very good, didnt like Orton winning but either way someone was interfering in that main event be it Orton, Cesaro or Owens won it. Fantastic seeing Bryan and good to see Ryback back, pretty good segment that was. Didnt like Ambrose losing AGAIN but can only imagine and hope Ambrose is turning heel at Summerslam on Reigns, think its being foreshadowed with this all my only friend thing, he lets his guard down heps a friend and what does he get? Nothing hes been losing hes not been focused on himself but that will change, Seth had the right idea, went about it differently than he would have but he was out for himself and thats the way he needs to go now.

Amell was also great as I knew he would be and should be able to put in a good performance at Summerslam, hes very athletic and in great shape sure he could put together a few moves. Not feeling the Sheamus stuff or prospect of him as champion but lets see what happens.

This was the epitome of a filler show, embellished with a title match because there is no John Cena, just like last week.

Just think, at Summerslam we could see John Cena become champion again and The Undertaker beat Brock Lesnar.

I don't understand why if they were gonna have a title match where there was gonna be a disqualification why not let Cesaro get the push and make him look stronger? Could have had KO interfere again. Oh and way to go with making Sheamus look strong and weak in the space of 2 mins just to make Orton look like SuperCena.

Because Cena wasn't there they needed a "star" to hold ratings in the main event and they wanted to remind people Sheamus exists and he has a match with Orton at Summerslam. I couldn't believe they did an interview with Sheamus before the match, at least try to make the outcome less obvious than it already was.

That "cash in" at the end was awkward to the point of embarrassing.

It was obvious it wasn't going to happen as he was wrestling with the ref over the briefcase. If he was cashing in, he wouldn't be holding onto it for like 5 minutes. Really badly done.

Also, Sheamus costing Orton the title and Orton not waiting until the bell rang to cost Sheamus the cash in was illogical and just plain stupid.

I don't like it but I understand them having the same big names for a PPV but it's a Monday night Raw. It was obvious that Seth was going to retain somehow. Why not let someone who's super over have a decent 20 min match for once?

I'm in full agreement. How about Cesaro wins the triple threat by pinning Orton after Sheamus hits him with the Brouge Kick, Cesaro has Rollins beat when Owens causes the DQ, then Sheamus attempts his cash in and Orton stops him. This puts heat on Owens which he didn't get on the actual show and makes the two feuds more personal. Instead they chose to put more emphasis on one feud. The incompetence is baffling.

A filler show and I don't get where the Divas revolution is heading. It's constantly tag team matches and singles matches which don't seem to head anywhere...what is the big payoff? Someone taking title of Nikki? Introduce divas tag team titles?

I'm a big fan of Arrow and him being involved in the angle with Stardust has got my other half and some friends into wrestling. Feel sorry for Barrett as he just been dropped into the middle without any logic.

It does make sense...Sheamus winning MITB a few months after being cast as Rocksteady in new ninja turtles movie which also stars Stephen Amell. Looks like there will be plenty more promotions between the film and WWE.

They've started with the whole unsuccessful cash ins with Sheamus but I'll be amazed if he's not the champion heading into Wrestlemania so I expect him to get the title near the end of the year.

They won't take the title off Nikki until she breaks AJ's record, I'm 90% sure of that. They probably know she isn't the best (not the worst either) out of all this divas revolution lot so going down this team route to avoid her defending her title any time soon, could you imagine the uproar if she beat Charlotte or Sasha at a PPV?

Didn't think it was to bad of a Raw and neither was last weeks, certaintly seen a lot worse.

Reigns has been crying in the media about the fans again. He blames the internet culture and makes out he was born in the fifties where hard work and chores ruled supreme. It's startling how out of touch he is.

Didn't a fan throw a replica money in the bank case squarely at his head at a house show? Maybe he's just pissed off about that still.

Nah, he was crying about the fans rejecting him in general. He's still sore after the fans rejected his 'Mania push. The thing is people were booing the decision rather than Reigns.

Made out it was all about Bryan too, which isn't completely true IMO. Reigns being nowhere near ready was the main gripe for most I think, though he has improved a lot since the start of all that.

We effectively just saw a heel Undertaker and heel Cena on the same night. For that I will let it sink in. I just didnt know what to make of that Cena promo, great one from Rollins and then I legitimately wanted to smack my own knee into Cena through my laptop screen at what he was coming out with, I was like you cocky arrogant little c**t so as a heel promo was pretty good but as the likely what I just said will actually happen and nothing changes then its rather depressing.

Pretty frustrating Raw really, lazy booking throughout, lets just throw everyone in tag matches or have a combination of the match coming up and repeat the Battleground ending in our main event. No creativity, no added fire going into the event.

When Cena does the arrogant promo before an event he always loses. This'll be the 4-5th time it's happened.

Forgettable go-home, I'm not interested in a single match for Summerslam.

Dolph Ziggler is awful.

Cena always loses at Summerslam anyway. Often clean.
