Good:
- Rollins & Ambrose have a great segment

Bad:
- The Riott Squad attacking Nattie (again)
- Bliss, Sasha, Bayley, Mickie, Fox, and Dana, doing basically the same thing as last week.
- Revival vs. Lucha House Party doing the same thing as last week, but worse
- Even more of Corbin changing matches in the middle
- Ronda, Ember, Nia, and Tamina having what was apparently a terrible match where only Ember looked like a trained professional
- Slater & Rhyno breaking up for no reason and Rhyno got turned into a referee
- McIntyre turning on Ziggler for no reason at all, then Ziggler giving McIntyre his first pinfall loss due to interference by Balor

I think I made the right choice.

Mostly. Two bathrooms and the kitchen are left. Should be done by tomorrow.

This is bad already. Horrible. Get Rousey out of here. She's like a fuckin' cartoon character because it's almost obnoxious comedy how ridiculous her facial expressions are. This could be hard to keep up with...

Five minutes in Cole says "oh yeah Tamina's such a huge dangerous factor..."

Then that showed that part where they circled Ronda Rousey and did nothing as an example.

Ronda Rousey tries to struggle into the ring...horrible angry expressions the whole time. Natalia gets superkicked into a double powerbomb through a table off the ring...horrible overdramatic look when she sells.

Awh!

Who NEEDS a reason to turn on Dolph Ziggler?

I would've German Suplexed that man 3 months ago....

The more I notice...I think I saw the point of Ambrose with Renee Young on commentary. It's almost ridiculous and absurd how it's at times treated as if they don't even really know each other any more than the other announcers and wrestlers as she casually talks about him.

Also...this whole "New Daniel Bryan" thing...is just too much. It's ridiculous. I mean by that-Sure, it's absolutely and clear cut good character work and development as well as storyline arc...but-it's in the hands of dumbass WWE writers. It's , as I said "Just too much", for them to handle properly.

Red, I was counting on your review to save me the time of watching this garbage, dammit! :P

Jokes aside, I probably will call it a day with RAW for a bit until I hear any reason to start up again.

Finn Balor actually wasn't a complete fool the whole time...this show definitely turned around the BRM mentioned problem of nothing but heels killin' people. Elias got over on Lashley, and even smashed Rush with the guitar. Crewes surprisingly assisted Balor...but I'm not sure if it's an undercard thing or if he's moving up...because he evened odds against...Jinder Mahal.

Though Ambrose once again got over on Rollins...that didn't change...and Ambrose now has horrible AIR RAID SIRENS as part of his theme....he could be developing into big time Becky Lynch type territory though as far as that promo was concerned.

Yeah, the women's tag wad horrible...Ronda was almost falling all over the ring at times after delivering offensive maneuvers. Not good nor impressive at all...she's just going Waaayyy too hard and isn't ready. They're trying to make Nia Jax this big time larger than life heel character but I don't think it's working. She's bad and they completely made her powerful ally Tamina, nothing but a fool, just for the sake of Ronda Rousey.

Corbin did a thing where he pretty much preemptively celebrated the SS win. It was standard. Dolph Ziggler ruined "Drew Mcintrye appreciation night", which was done to fully submit and transition him into a top singles heel...which they solified by suddenly having his first loss come at the hands of "Stupidest jerk of the last 10 years", Dolph Ziggler!

It was more of a way to put over and add to McIntyre and Balor SS, but bad timing.

Natalya is now fully, nothing but a bitch. Not in the derogatory way, but as in "the bitch", in this whole Riot Squad thing. She doesn't matter, she isn't cared about as a character, she's only a pawn and a martyr used to make them some strange sort of thorn in Rhonda's side who fuck with her friend every chance they get.

I'm not even sure why because they're obviously not going anywhere nor doing anything with it. This time they put her though a table. She was ridiculously overdramatic about it.

Alexa Bliss actually tried to be the good ...woman, authority figure, which ended up leading to the aforementioned tag match.

Yeah, that was horrible. I don't wanna see the biggest woman on the roster run from Rousey. Tamina took all over her moves and she tried a step up shining wizard that just clearly jumped over Tamina's head. Ember Moon was the only saving grace.

Nia Jax is the weird ...tough and mean, but also at times, loud and obnoxious, funny heel. Strange.

Oh-the friction on commentary about Ambrose and Young almost fully escalated. Definitely worth seeing. It was pretty quick, but definitely pivotal. I fully see her somehow becoming involved in it soon. Watch that and see what you think.
