This is the go-home show before the Night of Champions PPV this Sunday and this week they’re live from the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana. Last week, Monday Night Raw was better than the previous few editions of Monday Night Raw. As we head to the PPV, we actually have all the championships on the line and we get to see how the build for the PPV goes on Raw. Let’s Get Started!!!!

Good

John Cena, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman: They opened the show with a Heyman promo and he was interrupted by Cena who threatened to beat up Heyman if Lesnar didn’t show up. Cena even kidnapped Heyman and put him in his locker room. The halftime stuff was crazy to me, but when Cena dragged Heyman to the rag and Heyman got into Cena’s head calling him a bully was great. The fight between Lesnar and Cena was great to the point that I’m looking forward to their match.

Chris Jericho vs. Corporate Kane: This wasn’t a great match, but it was okay. They had a nice amount of time and it was nice to see Jericho get the win.

Sheamus & The Usos vs. Cesaro & Rhodes Brothers: What an action packed match with all of them putting in work during the match. The fans were definitely into this match especially towards the end of the match with the nearfalls.

Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns: Don’t understand why they had this match when they face each other at the PPV. Either way this was a pretty good match and both guys worked their butts off.

Rusev and Mark Henry: Seemed kind of weird seeing how they finished Raw but they did a damn good job selling their match and the crowd was really into it.

Bad

Jack Swagger vs. Bo Dallas: Not that it was a bad match, but I’m hoping this isn’t the end of the feud.

Divas Tag Match: I actually expected more from them and wanted them to have a good bit of time and neither happened.

Bray Wyatt vs. Big Show: With Show not doing anything I would think they would give Wyatt a clean pin after a huge win over Jericho.

Dolph Ziggler & R-Truth vs. The Miz & Damien Sandow: The match wasn’t bad but it seem like they’re putting more of an emphasis on the look-a-likes than the Intercontinental championship.

Ugly

Naomi and Cameron: No one is interested in this so they need to go another route.

Overall Rating: 5/10- This Raw could have been better seeing it was the go-home show before the PPV. The highlights were Paul Heyman getting into the head of Cena before Brock Lesnar came out which lead to a nice little fight between the 2, which helped sell the match more. The 6-man tag match was really good also with all those guys doing their thing and the crowd was really into it. The match between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins was really good also; just don’t know why they would have the match on Raw 6 days before the PPV. As you see on the Bad and ugly, there were plenty to frown about Raw also and one of them is the booking of Bray Wyatt a week after the huge win over Jericho in a cage match.
