A Live Report From Last Night’s WWE RAW Broadcast

I was sitting on a corner on the floor. There were signs confiscated by the security guard in front if me. He had the signs behind his chair. The only sign I could make out was Seth for Business sign in multicolor letters.

There were CM Punk chants before the Superstars taping started.

Chris Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt was awesome. The crowd was split as well. There were chants of “Let’s Go Wyatt” and “Y2J” back and forth. The Jericho splash from the top of the cage started receiving “holy shit” chants but then went to “this is awesome” chant. Definitely think best match of their feud. The Wyatt entrance is still amazing in person with all the lights. I’ve seen it live about four times already.

Dolph Ziggler got a nice pop but I think the crowd was disappointed that he wasn’t going to wrestle.

The Divas match was alright. AJ Lee got a nice pop but once Paige’s music hit she got the louder pop.

What can I say about Paul Heyman? He had the crowd in complete control as he should have. He had boos and cheers. John Cena, by far, still drew the loudest pop of the night. Thanks to Cena for pointing out the two guys with white shirts, I was on Raw. Good segment though and the crowd was into it.

Sheamus got a bigger pop than I expected. The crowd enjoyed the match with him and Rollins. I’m now digging Rollins’ theme song as it grew on me. Cesaro got booed at the end.

Rusev and Lana were booed. USA chants broke out throughout her promo.

The NXT tag match was good. It didn’t seem like everyone knew who they were except for Tyson Kidd. The Ole chants did break out for Zayn. I think he was the most popular. It was a good idea to give them a match on Raw before Takeover II.

The Bellas and Jerry Springer segment was alright. The biggest thing to take from this was the crowd loved chanting Jerry.

Los Matadores got no reaction. Goldust and Stardust were cheered.

Adam Rose got a decent reaction. Parts of the crowd was singing his song.

Randy Orton got a nice pop for being one of the top heels. Roman Reigns blew him away as he got a Cena-like pop for his entrance. The match was good and the crowd was into it. The crowd was waiting for someone to come save Reigns, at least Cena, but it didn’t happen obviously. Seth Rollins, Orton, and Kane got booed for the finish.

When the show went off the air, Michael Cole and JBL left the broadcast table so quickly you would think they had a plane to catch. On the other hand, Lawler did not, as one of the WWE staffers pointed out a handicap fan at ringside near me. Lawler took a picture with him and then left.

Overall, I enjoyed the show. I look forward to watching it on DVR.
