RAW 07/21/2014: Now With 100% Less Effort

[Gronk4M13]

Quite a good Raw. Triple H's opening promo, especially about the friend mark not watching anymore, was great, funny stuff. I'm ok with Reigns/Orton at Summerslam and delaying Reigns/HHH. The first Brie segment made me laugh several times; the guys around her had some hilarious reactions, and she said b**** twice? We're going back to the Attitude Era! (Sarcasm.)

Sandow as James was funny. I felt like he didn't get as much heat (pun intended?) as he should have, as the show took place on the Heat's homecourt. Bo Dallas is awesome, but shouldn't actually be booked as a face.

Wyatt cut a great promo as always. Ziggler beat the Intercontinental Champion, the Miz, possibly setting up a Summerslam match? I'd be 100% ok with that. I'm very happy that Dolph is at least somewhat getting pushed again.

The Paige heel turn should have happened when AJ first came back, IMO. Regardless, hopefully the two will put on a better match at Summerslam than their Battleground match.

Zack Ryder on TV two nights in a week?! Zack Ryder wins a match on Raw?!! Yes!! (Cue the Daniel Bryan chant) Man, that's awesome. WWWYKI, Just Take Care, Spike Your Hair! I'm seriously so happy he won a televised match!

The New-Age Nation of Domination should be interesting. I really want Titus O'Neil to join it.

Lesnar needs to win at Summerslam. That is all.

Of course Sandow didn't get much heat....they're Cavs fans in Miami now.

I know why she didn't but man I missed Lana working the mic and talking up Putin lol

If Dolph Ziggler isn't the Owen Hart of the New Nation then just forget it TBH

I'm not sure if this was brought up, but the Bella segment where the camera feed cut out? Yeah, there was apparently a NSFW reason for that.

This should totally happen. I'm really excited to see where all this goes. Kofi will be a heel for the first time and it gives those guys something to do. Man as long as it's done right I'll try and keep my complaints down haha.


Reed is comin' atcha!!

If WWE has a race storyline, the media will be jumping all over them. Really hope the stable is able to go far though. Kofi turning heel for first time in his almost 7 year WWE career...will also be interesting to see that.

At the very least, they'll be able to push the envelope a bit further than if it was a white supremist stable. I don't think they'll be handcuffed too much by the Lana situation

I'm assuming Stephanie's nipple made another appearance? Brie was pretty well clothed so I can't see a wardrobe malfunction on her part
