We start with the montage (Not the dreaded "TV-PG" logo again) and a recap of Raw. I really like how this angle is shaping up.
Batista segment -- B
For a big, macho guy, Dave sure dresses homoerotically... "Where have all the real men in WWE gone?" I'm not so sure you can really speak to that, sir... "Goat-faced troll" It's not like we haven't heard JBL say this before, no sir... Now, now, the day we let fans into the dressing room WAS a bad day, sure. But Bryan is hardly an example of this... "Better looking" Oh god, I really shouldn't laugh... Good god I'm a mark. I'm laughing at the tecnico's insults at the rudo... Oooh, Big Show is back. And Vickie Guerrero... Big Show & Bryan vs Kane and Batista announced for (I assume) the main event
Christian vs. Dolph Ziggler -- B
Alberto Del Rio on commentary. Should be entertaining... I almost forgot how much I liked Ziggler... Awesome dropkick counter by Ziggler... Good athletic showcase... Ruined... This could lead to an interesting confrontation later... Oh yes, I think I see a no-DQ match at Mania
Ryback & Curtis Axel vs. The Usos -- B-
War dance, baby! I'm strangely enjoing that... Ryback's there. This should be easy. Just remember that you're fighting Skip Sheffield... Was Jimmy the legal guy there? Huh...
Natalya & Eva Marie vs. Tamina Snuka & A.J. Lee -- C+
Yuck. That damn butterfly belt. At least try to make the title look legit... Liking the cocky showboating by A.J.... Seriously, the ref should do something... Short. Probably could have used a bit more time
Shield Summit -- A-
Yeah, I still think that's cool when guys enter through the crowd... Geez. I am going to miss these guys if they do indeed break up at Mania... Reigns sounds awesome... Yeah, I'm really going to miss these guys
Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio -- B+
Calling an interference now... Hope we get enough time for a good match... There we go, Del Rio targeting the gimpy arm... Wow, that is an awesome counter. Good sell of Sheamus' strength too... I like finishes like this
It's happening!!! (First thing that came to mind when Bray said it. I'm sorry.) God I'm loving this psychopath vibe by the Wyatts.
When are we actually going to get to see this Aleksander Rusev get in the ring already?
Batista & Kane vs. Big Show & Daniel Bryan -- A
Why do I enjoy Big Show's chop?... Double suplex is always pop-worthy... Maybe I like Show's chops because of the implied disrespect in them... Still weird seeing Kane in dress wear. Those are some nice pants... The bickering on the commentary is meh... Hot tag time... The KO punch is still a boring finisher. Big Show should go back to the chokeslam he used to used.
Decent show. Nothing bad, but not a whole lot stood out, either. Overall it gets a B.
