*SPOILER - NEGATIVE OWEN IS BACK AND IN FULL SWING*

Sounds like a god awful show...bar the fact the crowd dumped all over it; which given what they are being fed atm seems about right. Never mind wrestlingbeing kayfabe it's deja vu atm. Henry battling Show going from face to heel to face to heel. John Cena in the world title picture again, facing Orton...again to get there. One of the most over stars being put in a feud where very little can come of it for either (Bray vs Ambrose)..Ryback back in the main event picture where he will no doubt eventually go against Cena and then disappear again.

Survivor Series used to be one of the main PPV's probably 4th behind Mania, Rumble & SS..! This years is on it's knees....no wonder it's being offered free in the network (unless of course your from UK where the network isn't running) so will have to be bought on PPV. Even free I wouldn't bother watching it.

Team Cena vs Team Authority; involves superstars we've seen go at it time and again in the past 12 months...the angle has been booked crap for quite some time and tbh I don't much care for it anymore. The only intrigue in this is how the hell there going to book the finish.

I fully expect Dolph to put on a killer showing and then be first man eliminated such are the booking ways of WWE. Cena will end up 2-1 and probably take out both Kane & Rollins to win!

A tag team title match will occur...I wonder who that could be ..erm ill stab at Stardust vs Uso's but they throw in Los Matador's to 'freshen' things up.

Oh and of course an intercontinental title match whereby the only person the crowd are actually interested in seeing is the one not in the match. They may even put the Miz & Sandow in a tag team title match.

If that's the case you could have a PPV whereby 3 of the 4 main belts aren't even defended! Ah how everyone dreams of winning a coveted title these days

I think you're being harsh Owen. I actually thought it was a decent RAW and their doing a decent job of building to Survivor Series, although in traditional WWE Style we still only have a few matches booked, but they are being built well enough.

Team Cena
John Cena
Big Show
Dolph Ziggler
Sheamus
Ryback (?)

Team Authority
Seth Rollins
Kane
Mark Henry
Rusev
Luke Harper (?)

Two pretty even teams, not happy about Rusev being in it because that pretty much confirms that the Authority will win, but atleast the Survivor Series match is actually getting recognized as a big deal this year - something we have been clamouring for for years now.

Nikki vs AJ - Nikki has improved dramatically and the added element of Brie Bella nearing the end of her Bitch contract could add an extra element.

Bray vs Ambrose should be a great match, but like all the Wyatt feuds they are written horribly.

Add in a Tag Title match, maybe a triple threat or even fatal four way tag match, a couple of undercard matches, maybe another diva's match and it should be a good enough PPV again.

Back to RAW though. I thought it was a good show, aside from the crowd Poopie on segments that didnt deserve it. The US title rematch was better than the first match. I liked the over-arching story around Ryback joining the Authority, and the dissention in the ranks about it. Rollins and Swagger had a good match, its a shame Swagger wont be in the Survivor Series match though. Im actually interested to see where they go with Adam Rose. He's a really talented guy but his gimmick was never going to get him up the card, so character tweak could help.

RAW has been on a roll lately, alot better than it was earlier in the year. Just no pleasing some people.

Not necessarily. Rusev yet to be pinned or made to submit, no reason why he wont be DQ'ed or counted out.

Mark Henry goes from hating Rusev to teaming with him within 3 weeks?

Only in the WWE

Didn't think it was a bad Raw. Only thing I don't get is Rusev being apart of Team Authorty and teaming with Americans.

That was well explained TBH, The Authoritah gave Rusev a US Title shot, and in return they wanted him on their team.

Thought it was a very good Raw. Story telling across every aspect, barely any cheap moments, clever subtle ones too and good use of different stars. Almost perfect and the SS build is very good.

Highlight for me was seeing 'Global Hero' Joe Hendry living up to his name playing a Russian dignitry

Stephanie undercuts Lana - twice. And HHH undercuts Swagger. Embarrassing how insecure those 2 are really. Go Team Cena!

Swagger is a legend.
