Well, I didnt do a Raw Thoughts last week because my Sky+ messed up and the recording failed... So lets see if i missed much, I doubt it.
Starting the show with Edge coming out and he shows more enthusiasm when he comes out than someone with a contract... No matter how a Raw ends with D-Bry being beat down, its like they just rewind the tape every week and do it again, D-Bry comes out as if the week previous hasn't happened, it's almost like the record has got stuck and keeps skipping back 3 weeks... The seg kinda got ok once Triple H came out, as it stopped pandering and repeating and was a novel approach to the promotional part of Edge's visit. Another match against the Shield for D-Bry though... I guess I haven't missed much by missing last weeks show. Bit of an anti climax though
A bit more emotion being shown in the backstage segment, and Seth Rollins looked like he was forcing the evil look he was attempting, being heel doesn't seem to come natural to Rollins.
Axel vs Kofi is up next and I did see some of Smackdown, which as usual is used as a dress rehersal for Raw, if the match goes well, then they usually repeat it on Raw and this is what they have done this week, although the ending was different, the result was the same etc 2 wins over Axel for Kofi, surely that gives him a claim to a title match for the IC Title, even though the title is going to be on the line in night of CHAMPIONS... maybe Axel should pull double duty.
I guess this is Heymans way out of the match, or atleast attempted way out... slipped on water eh... ok then haha bad acting all round.
I had almost forgot about the Wyatts, felt like WWE had done after the Kane thing aswell, they got a great character etc but seems like no clue what to do with him. Here Bray is against Ziggler and I guess this is the continuation of Ziggler's punishment, so Im gonna guess that he loses this match and continues his downward spiral from the top to the very bottom, am surprised they dont have him lose to Santino or Ryder.
Surely this segment with Heyman and his doctor would have been more suitable to a backstage segment etc and not in the ring.. Gotta agree with the crowd.. This Is Awkward haha Halleluiah, Heyman is healed
Not really been interested by much else so far, a womans match that Natty won and AJ was on commentary, R Truth is like the WWE's jobber without Lil Jimmy as he loses to ADR and now Santino returns to no doubt beat Cesaro, such a shame they dont do something with Zeb Colter etc
Miz vs Sandow next, cant help but think that Riley should be aligned with Miz again and give Miz another run, I always liked Miz. The match is interupted by Summer Rae and her valet as Sandow picks up a quick win... The crowd like Fandango as long as his music is playing, then as soon as he opens his mouth it goes downhill...
Goldust vs Orton, nice to see the crowd behind Goldust in the match, this sounded more like what i would expect from a usual Canadian crowd who are usually similar to English crowds in regards to chanting etc. Orton wins a good match of a decent length though, no job back for Cody just yet, but Dustin didn't do bad.
Orton using the same Dreams being shattered analogy that he used on twitter mid week... I guess he was given a good line and wanted to keep using it... Backstage we see Steph doing the whole guilt thing on Goldust and its getting boring, all Steph talks about is peoples families, first Big Show and now Goldust... Im guessing next week the American Dream will be on Raw...
Ryback vs RVD is next and ADR comes out and gives a boring promo and i am guesing this will end with ADR coting RD the match somehow against Bore-Back ... Oh well i knew it wouldnt end well, Ryback going back to his dominating type who DQ's himself all the time... still Boring as hell and dont like him, wasting space on my TV
Ambrose vs D-Bry is next and it was a good match and I am happy D-Bry finally got the upper hand as it gives people some reason to buy Night of Champions, because until this happened (and even still now, for the realists) D-Bry has no chance of winning at Night of Champions, and so far WWE have given no indication that he could win either, so he needed the win tonight.
