    Taker not retiring so? Seems odd that he'd not be here for the sendoff tonight if that was his last match...

    Great raw once again marred by substandard, incompetent complacent commentary. They should be selling a product, not calling the main baby face a farm animal. Stupid, dumb ****ing morons. That was a huge moment and Cole couldnt or wouldn't make it feel as special as it was.

    Good show.

    Was worth watching for Paige.

    Think Heyman was the star of the night though.

    Dark retirement? We all know how protective of the gimmick he is

    I flipping love those paintball style masks the shield are rocking. Makes them look like absolute anarchists.

    Bar AJ losing the title in such a pointless match, it was a very good show, but a lot of random and quite frankly needless stuff thrown in.

    Worst case scenario, it was better than the average Raw but the Heyman/Lesnar segment was the easy highlight of the show.

    It was a good show, but not the oomph the Raw after Wrestlemania should have. Commentary was awful, the rest was a slightly above average Raw. Can't help but feel a little disapppointed though, just missing that something.

    haha,, Booker T on backstage pass... if Undertaker had stayed in the match for one more F5... "he could have ruined his career as... just a person walking around".

    Good man Book

    It was preempted somewhat by the fact they've given the IWC little to complain about. There's no 'Yes' or Fandangoo-ing this year as there's very little protest this year.

    What is served as, instead, was more a mission statement of where the 'E is going herein, which is pretty cool.

    Hope they learn that they now have a current crop of Divas who can hold a match for longer than 1 minute.

    First 2 hours not so good (with the exception of Paul Heyman being Paul Heyman), the last hour was amazing though. The Shield v Evolution is going to be amazing. CESARO HEYMAN!!!!!

    Show opened with HHH interrupting Daniel Bryan's promo, brilliant heel work with the crowd solidly behind the new champion with chants such as 'You deserve it'. Hunter informed Bryan that there'd be a title match tonight and he was gonna crush the dream again. Trips got the old school a**hole chant. Crowed were savage.

    Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar came down to massive heat. Heyman cut one of his best speeches ever riling up the fans. He dare them to do the What?! thing and basically owned them. He buried Cole and Lawler by calling them things instead of announcers and says that Brock Lesnar puts tears in children's eyes. He bugged the Beast up as the most legitimate threat in the WWE, UFC and NCAA history. It was a great promo. A bit of shooting going on too.

    Wyatt family vs Cena, Sheamus and Big E. Crowd were way into Bray and Co. They start singing 'John Cena Sucks' to his theme tune. Wyatt was having a blast. The crowd were chanting Bray is gonna kill you and singing He's Got the Whole World in his Hands. Wyatts went over for a very popular win.

    Cesaro was endorsed by Hogan and accompanied by Zeb. When he went to speak, Zeb cut him off. Cesaro said he's not a Zeb Colter guy... He's a Paul Heyman guy! Paul E came out and out him over some more. Swagger attacked The King of Swing but was soundly defeated in a good match.

    AJ Lee lost her Divas title to a debuting Paige. Crowd popped hard.

    Final match was a more of an angle that saw former Evolution mates HHH Batista and Randy Orton along with Kane square off a with a solidly face Shield and Daniel Bryan. Was intense. Everyone looked great.

    Also- RVD retuned, Rusev had his first match and Bad News Barrett was ridiculously popular in beating Rey Mysterious.

    I'd love for Ric flair to come back for the shield vs evolution storyline.

    So likely matches from that for Extreme Rules to me seem like Bryan v HHH Part 2, Shield v Kane/Bootista/Orton, Cesaro v Swagger and Paige/AJ. Think they'll revisit Wyatt/Cena or does Wyatt getting the win back on Raw = both guys moving onto something else?

    I really, really enjoyed that show.

    Opening segment played into everyone's worst fears perfectly. The six-man was a good match. Bo and Rose getting hype packages, while Barrett gets a good "re-debut", and the muscle guy looked like a beast. Paige's debut might have been a little poor in terms of her introduction and how AJ lost in a single botched-looking move, but **** it, I love Paige and marked a little too hard for her music (my brother was wondering why I was so excited for a random new diva).

    Cesaro becoming a Heyman guy is huge, given that Heyman is "The guy who led the guy who beat The Undertaker"; it's nearly a rocket strapped to him. The closing segment was ****ing brilliant, and the promise of a war is exciting.

    Feel I'm forgetting some things, but really enjoyed the show.

    The only negative, at a push, is how it's frustrating...once again, WWE shows that when it knows a crowd will **** on anything bad, they make sure they deliver pure gold after pure gold. When they want to put on a top level Raw, they can. Easily. This should be a major sign to all crowds; actually tell WWE what you want, push your stance, and you'll get it.

    Wondering if they'll do HHH/Bryan 2 at Mania, or an 8 man Bryan/Shield vs Evolution/Kane match. The latter would be a ****ing brawl that I'd love to see.
