I only got a chance to watch Raw today but it was, in my opinion, one of the best Raw's of the year. For the first time in a long time, a lot of stuff happened on Raw that made you look forward to the following weeks. And even some of the filler stuff was watchable.
The Owens/Cena segment was awesome. Cena has been great in his role with the US title so far, it is made for segments like this. I was incredibly shocked that Owens left the encounter on top as well. What a great way it was to put over Owens as well as sell the NXT live special this Wednesday; much better than throwing together a tag match or having Charlotte make a nothing appearence which seems to have been the norm. It done an awesome job of putting NXT talent on par with WWE talent.
Also, albeit a little later than it should have been, Lana and Rusev have finally split up. Rusev didn't look great in them doing so and hopefully they can gather some much needed momentum for him in upcoming weeks but it's still a start and puts Rusev (and Lana) in new territory for the first time.
I never get sick of seeing Rollins and Ambrose paired together. I always envisioned them as guys who would feud with each other on multiple occasions throughout their career and I am extremely looking forward to their eventual singles encounter for the belt at the Chamber. The stuff on this show wasn't really stand out stuff but it is great to see two guys like Rollins and Ambrose battling in a feud for the title.
The action itself probably wasn't the best we have had all year but Raw finally felt like a show that has made me look forward to watching it again next week. And finally felt like a show that was fresh with a lot of fresh and interesting characters in prominent spots on the card. And the Chamber is looking like an awesome pay per view!
