That's fair and all, but I guess that since they've propelled Drew up to a certain point but don't have clear plans for him, having him take the fall in order to push someone new isn't that bad. Give Cedric credit, he has more flair than Tony Nese will ever have. But yeah, Murphy is probably a top 10 talent in the company, which is crazy when you look back at his tag team days.

I don't get this. Cedric is very talented, and had nearly nothing to do after he lost the Cruiserweight title. How is pushing him, making him go up against a strong heel and winning, a bad thing? Don't we want underutilized talent to be used more often, and be in the spotlight for once? Look at Murphy: he was having bangers every week in 205 Live, and when he got moved up to SmackDown, we got excited with the possibilities. Scoring a win over Xavier Woods or Big E would be a joy, even if he were a "lowcard cruiserweight" before that.

I'd argue that if the worst we can say about a Heyman show is that one match went long, then we are good. Dude is pushing new talent and it has legit surprises. A grand total of two decisions weren't great, but still made sense within context.

If last night was any indication, Corbin is not a top heel anymore. Lesnar is. But then again, we said something similar not long ago and he went to main event for months and months. Who knows. As for Shane, if he is used to propel KO as a top face, I'm all for it. He can be a good foil for the right people, and is more than willing to take horrible bumps. The tradeoff is that he's going to get his shitty punches in no matter what. EDIT: Also, Wyatt seems to be a heel and he's 100% going to be in the top position sooner or later.

They are aware of the options they have, which is something. It just seems they want to finish this Seth/Brock feud at Summerslam before moving on to different things. The first two hours were really good, though. Things went downhill with the 4-Way, and it did make me miss Nia a lot. The Women's Division as a whole has ZERO monster heels and that sucks. Shit, people really wanted Orton to win that battle royal over Seth. Glad to know that people came to their senses and are supporting Roman more than Rollins.

I really jinxed it

Fuck noooooo

Man, Drake and Truth being Tom and Jerry rules so much

Hey, that feud was really good!

Just call Belair up ffs

I cannot believe we sat through 30 minutes of stalling just for Natalya to get another title shot.

God bless Nikki Cross

This match, despite some fun spots, has been going on for tooooooo long.

This Raw has been great so far. Lots of different little things, new people being pushed and legit surprises.

Man, where the FUCK is this Kanellis angle going

Hey, that was dope, and I don't even like Wyatt.

YES! Cedric did it!

True, but I did like him saying he was joking. At least it was an ounce of personality. Cedric, on the other hand, might be going places if he pulls the win tonight. Some interesting developments, gotta say.

He's an honorary samoan! Plus the Usos are faces who actually help other faces, like The Miz last week. I really dig that. That trios match between The Club and The Usos/Rico is gonna be great.

@C.S. dawg that's quite the take, bubba. I'll never say you are WRONG, but that one shocked me a little, not gonna lie. When it's all said and done, Usos are going to be a top 5 tag team ever.

Hey remember when Finn/Joe held the NXT Title hostage?

Give us Ricochet vs Brock, cowards

Crowd popped HARD for Roman, huh? It's his yard after all.

Bobby, Sami and Big E are the most interesting options available. Let's hope they don't go for the more "comfortable" Roman/Braun/Seth options.

Hey, will we get them good stuff this week?
