Last night was the go-home edition of RAW before we hit Extreme Rules this Sunday. I just wanted to post some of my thoughts and promote discussion about the show.
-John Cena's first promo of the night was very good and set the right tone for the events to follow. I like the concept of John Cena questioning the fans for backing Wyatt and not other young and exciting talent. Cena was strong in the opening segment...
-.... and so was Bray. We had singing children and creepy lamb masks on dozens of children surrounding the ring. This was a very cool image and really brought home the story of Bray taking John's audience away.
-The Usos had a nice match with Rybaxel. The crowd was hot for most of it and they told a nice story with Jay getting hurt and building the suspense of a title change and causing the Tag Champs to take it to another level.
-To get this over with, the Hugh Jackman bit was not good. It was too long, and it was... bad.
-WeeLC is announced for the Extreme Rules Pre-show... and I actually want to see it. What is wrong with me?
-Stephanie's apology was very well handled because the heroes in Bryan and Brie saw straight through it. It was all a ploy of course, when Stephanie offered a Divas Championship match and Kane did his classic monster attack by coming through the ring. The wrench shot and sit-up sequence was "vintage" Kane and I enjoyed it. It was silly, sure, but still fun.
-Bad News Barrett vs. Big E for the IC title is set in stone after Barrett beat Rob Van Dam on Monday. Barrett is having a very nice resurgence and I hope they let him elevate the Intercontinental Championship for the next few months.
-John Cena's second promo was the opposite of his first. He was confident and completely undid any worry that he was disheveled and was going to be unstable this Sunday. Weird decision to go this route on the same show as the choir bit.
-The Shield promo was so cool. They are the coolest characters in wrestling since the start of NWO, in my opinion. They carry themselves so well, and this promo just amped up the energy.
-The Ric Flair segment was ok, but not the impact I think they were hoping for.
-The brawl to end the show was exciting, and it was a great set-up for my most anticipated match this Sunday. These six guys are gonna tear the house down.
Overall, this show delivered where it needed to. It was a strong go-home show for Extreme Rules this Sunday. I will be putting a preview up later this week, so stay posted.

Creeeeeeeepy.
