    Maybe the face/heel concept is a little too complicated for FTW Rockets FTW's brain.

    But then again, he thinks that basketball and fútbol are the only sports where the players are "real athletes."

    If he's making you hate him, he's correctly doing his job as a heel, but he is one of the best workers in the biz. Dude can go with anyone.

    He's a troll on this board and should be banned. Don't engage him.

    I really hope Enzo and Big Cass debut tonight, I will lose my mind for them vs New Day.

    That would be awesome, but it's probably going to be either the Wyatt family or Reigns and Ambrose.

    Rollins doesn't have any heat what so ever and looks like nothing more than a HHH/Steph lackey. Being good in the ring doesn't change that.

    Apparently Taker was supposed to be on RAW tonight but was sent home after collapsing after the match yesterday.

    I think the end is nigh guys. It could literally kill him to face Lesnar again.

    Not watching Raw, just following online.

    Can someone tell me whether they turned Owens face? Says he turned on the heel team in the 8 man tag and cannon balled Show.

    Sting closes the show by attacking Rollins.

    Would they really have Sting go 0-2?

    I have a hard time believing it unless they have something bigger planned..

    I fully expect there to be some sort of interference during that match disqualifying one of Rollins/Sting.

    Won't be clean - never is anymore. The "PPV's" now are just like another ep of Raw with slightly better matches. It's what you can expect for $9.99. Get what you pay for.

    It's not the price that is the problem. It's the booking. Whoever is booking Raw/Smackdown/PPVs obviously has nothing to do with NXT.

    I'm just not sure what they are doing. NXT it feels like every match has context to it. The NXT PPV every single match had context to it, and this is from a show that gets one hour a week to advance storylines.

    I'm not sure where they were going tonight. The first hour or so was great...then it sunk like a rock for me.

    At one point Rhodes turned on Barrett and Nevile came out and they fought for like 2 minutes and that was the segment.

    Also...TAG MATCHES. 8 man tag match...for what purpose? They just used all their main guys and threw them together. Why not focus on their singular story lines? Why not focus on Kevin Owens trying to make a name for himself on the roster? On Randy Orton trying to get back to the top? On Cesaro trying to prove that he's finally breaking out? WTF did this 8 man tag match accomplish?

    Speaking of tag matches, WTF does the Diva Revolution even stand for now? All they ever do is go against each other in 3v3 matches and therefore drowns out the individuality that each of them has. Why not just have a tournament to be the #1 contender or something? Stop this 'Lets throw all these people together for a tag match' non-sense. It reeks of "We need to get these people on TV." All the while they kept their hottest woman completely off the show last night. She's becoming the Daniel Bryan of the women's division.

    The actual Tag Team division is in the best place it's been at since forever.

    Rollins has a long going story where youwonder how many times he can sneak away with a win. It sort of reminds me of Miz's run with the belt. CM Punk's run with the belt was similar but he actually got clean and big wins that made him seem legit. This Sting thing will be a nice sideshow but it'll make 0 sense for him to drop the belt to Sting.

    Lesner/Taker stuff is fine. I like it.

    John Cena...They have an opportunity here to really milk this record thing. If he breaks that record, make sure it is special.

    Unfortunately they have made it so that all of the Roster is 2nd to Cena outside of Taker and Brock. They had a chance with Owens. They could have had Owens be 3-0 against Cena. Had Owens win the title and made the odds that much greater playing off that Cena has never beaten Owens...

    But they ruined that of course.

    End Rant. Luckily football season will be back.

    i feel bad for the NXT 4 and how badly the booking commitee is effing it up and the crowds are ****ting all over it, rightfully so. Charlotte looked so crushed after that match. Sasha is the only one who is over and they keep her off the show.

    Lesnar/Bo, New Day, the new Wyatt Family guy were the only good things on RAW and Rollins/Sting. Could have done it all in an hour

    It's really sad man.

    WWE has the best talent on it's roster. One day, Samoa Joe and Finn Balor will be called up to participate in 0 stakes 3v3 tag matches too!

    Basically, NXT does more with it's one hour a week it gets than the 5 hours Raw/Smackdown get. They focus on like 3-4 storylines per month and advance them all during the PPVs. It's obvious they miss their competition, otherwise they'd be more motivated than to put on the same Team Bella vs 3 other Divas every week. This week Kevin Owens teams up with Sheamus to fight Cesaro and Orton! Exciting...

    Yup, NXT is HHH and a writer I can't recall the name of, while WWE is still the baby of Vince McMahon and buck teeth Kevin Dunn.

    Everything else I agree with, they make everyone feel like they are equal, nobody is a top guy unless you are Cena, Taker or Brock.

    Look at the women's division, the bring in the NXT women who have been blowing **** up on NXT (actually had the best match of the weekend in my opinion) then come on to RAW have random matches. Now everyone has fought each other, they told us the NXT women are just as good as the regular women. Revolution by name only.

    Banks/Bayley had a clear story, a story that was clearly told which made me give a **** about the match. I knew Bayleywas the fun loving good girl, who couldn't reach the brass ring. Banks is the evil b**** who wanted to crush her and her fans.

    Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn have got to go.
    They honestly would have been better to get rid of Smackdown and just make NXT the second brand.

    NXT builds up gold, hands it to Vince and Dunn and they drop it down the toilet.
