    Evolution/Shield was Fantastic, loved the Rollins spot at the end.

    Kane/Bryan was awesome as well, If anyone can pull a good match out of the 47 year old Kane, its definitely DB. The flying head butt off the forklift, Dive into Chokeslam through the announce table and flaming table spot were all great. Good first defense for DB.

    Rollins/Ambrose can work a spectacular match with anybody, easily match of the night. Notice how they left the weakest performers in the ring while the other 4 went and did the crazy s**t in the crowd. I think Reigns stills needs the other 2 much more than they need him., despite him having the huge perception

    I thought the Cena ending crossed over into comically stupid. It would have been much more effective if they just had the little kid standing in Cena's way, the whole exorcist voice was just cheesy.

    Glad they let Bryan go on last, but the match wasn't great. The forklift spot didn't really work, and while the fire table was a cool spot, they didn't really commit to it. Kane barely lit the middle part, and they extinguished the hell out of him in mere seconds.I don't blame them for not wanting such a dangerous spot, but if you are gonna do it, then do it right.

    Decent PPV, not spectacular.

    Yea I agree with most points here, the Cena-Wyatt feud is one that has completely lost me. From their boring match at Wrestlemania to last night i'm just done with that feud. Way too ridiculous and what kills me is how weak Bray looked last night.

    All this talk about wanting to end Cena and this and that and yet within the first few minutes he tried scrambling out of the cage. Just made him look weak to me. If this feud is supposed to mean anything is that Bray doesn't care about beating him he's supposed to be messing with his head/beating him down. Every time he would try to run out of the cage just hurt the character in my book. Even though Cena lost it still felt like a burial of Bray with all the help he needed just to pull off a win.

    I love young Johnny Cena as a member of the Wyatt Family.

    They should write it out as John Cena somehow had his ability to speak taken away by his younger self who now has some supernatural abilities and can control John Cena. He was somehow sent to the present by Luke Harper who managed to master the SpaceTime continuum.

    Pretty great PPV. Cesaro/RVD/Swagger was probably my favorite match. Great spot at the end. Cesaro has the best throws in wrestling. Lots of classic RVD spots.

    Shield were just fantastic.

    Bryan/Kane was a lot of fun

    Paige/Tamina was a really great match.

    Rusev is a pretty good worker but Lana is always going to be distracting.

    Man. Still have not finished wrestlemania.

    I bought the network specifically for the PPVs. Still haven't gotten a chance to sit and watch a PPV.

    Really? The Cena Wyatt feud has been the most interesting storyline for me since Bryan won the strap... My worst fear seems to be coming true, Bryans character is getting kind of stale while he has been champ and the "Yes's" have been getting less and less passion from the fans.

    Oh my goodness, this whole Daniel Bryan/Kane thing is stupid. Even if I try to suspend my disbelief, I can't get over it.

    It didn't seem that stale from the crowd tonight. I agree it has seemed like its dropping off but truthfully I'm still exhausted from WM. I think with a Lesnar fued it will be red hot crowds again.

    RAW crowd was better than the PPV crowd

    You think Bryan/Kane has been bad, but Wyatt/Cena has been good? To each their own I guess, both angles have been pretty lame to me.

    I pretty much agree with everything Indaface said, this Cena/Wyatt feud could have been a compelling angle. Have Wyatt play his mind games, bring in one of Cenas little fans (sans ridiculous exorcist voice) to turn on Cena, then have Cena lose it and beat the crap out of Bray Wyatt.The image of Bray Wyatt being taken out on the stretcher laughing manically could have been a spectacular end to a PPV. Ultimately Cena would find himself and do his whole clean cut super cena image to end the feud.

    But no, they aren't even willing to make Cena look even a little bad, Wyatt techincally went over, but that was effectively a burial to me. And the kid's voice was so over the top I nearly turned off the PPV, but I knew Paige was due up next, so I endured.

    I get how the voice could of made you scoff but i mean so can some guy shouting yes... Cena isn't going to look bad, If he looks bad what does Bray beating him mean? and the thing about Bray is after Wrestlemania it doesn't matter how or if he wins it just matters if he gains more followers. Plus I don't think the story is over, Bray is one of those guys that can keep feuds with guys for a long time because his character isn't satisfied with what happens in the ring.

    I would have liked to see Cena break out a little and show some of that "ruthless aggression" that got him over in his very first match, but at this point his character has reached superhero status in the eyes of Vince.

    I've pretty much watched most Raw's for the past 6 months (after not having watched Raw in years) and last night was probably the worst one i've seen in that span. The Kane/Bryan and Cena/Bray stuff is too over the top for me.

    It's good that Titty Master lost his title since as long as the Shield is together he won't have a singles feud. Maybe now Sheamus can have a feud or maybe turn heel or something.

    Cesaro's theme music is terribad, I kinda wish he would have kept the real americans theme and they changed Swagger's instead (obviously couldn't happen).

    R-Truth
    Xavier Woods
    Kofi Kingston on Raw

    Is Alexander Rusev really just an athletic Donald Sterling? :)

    I mean, there's Titus and Darren Young still to squash, lol.

    I find it interesting that many fans are complaining that the Bray Wyatt stuff is too over the top.

    Many of these fans were incensed that The Undertaker lost to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania, too.

    You know, the Undertaker, who has been buried alive, came back to life due to lightning striking a grave inside an arena, took supernatural power from an urn, became a biker, then became a dead man again, tied Stephanie McMahon to a cross-like representation of his logo, worshipped a higher power who ended up being Vince, had a brother who was left for dead in a fire when they were kids, had Paul Bearer as him and Kane's father, and conveniently dropped his gimmick for funsies when they decided they just wanted him to be a tough dude who likes goth stuff.

    But a voice modulator is too much.

    Cool. So that's the line.

    To be fair most of that stuff was 15-20 years ago. It's a little bit different of an era where the suspension of disbelief is harder to come by. Or maybe it's just because i'm 30 years old as opposed to 8-15 years old so that stuff is more noticeable. Either way I'm looking forward to the Wyatts feuding with someone else, the longer he goes with Cena the less imposing he will look coming out the other side.

    Also looking forward to Bryan/Kane ending so we can get Bryan/Brock for Summerslam.
