This week’s RAW came up with some brilliant new feuds along with the continuation of some existing ones. But there were some negative sides as well. The issues that remained previously could not be resolved. But some new names got added into new title pictures and they were planned quite brilliantly.
Shinsuke Nakamura got added into the World Heavyweight Championship picture in an excellent way. It was a little confusing to see the Japanese professional wrestler working on two different matches on the same night. But the end purpose that came out was quite good. Nakamura vs Rollins would be a pretty good match. Nakamura winning the World title would be even better.

Chad Gable also was the new face for the Intercontinental Championship picture. He received pretty strong booking going into the fatal 4 way no. 1 contender’s match. The feud between Gunther and Gable has already started and it was book pretty well. It can be a pretty fun feud along with the new angle between Ludwig Kaiser and Maxxine Dupri which seems pretty fun too.
The good sides of the show were actually pretty good that they might have consequences in long term but there were more bad sides than good ones. One of the most important bad sides of tonight’s RAW was the time that they wasted by showing footage from SummerSlam. Rather they should have used some talents from the women’s division.

Booking the women’s division still remained a big negative side. WWE is booking a three hour long show and they would not book more than two women’s segments. What kind of revolution is this? The question remained the same; if you cannot book them, why did you sign them? The way most of the women are being treated in WWE, it seems they have signed them to destroy their careers on purpose.
After watching tonight’s RAW, it field more like RAW is Backstage than RAW is WAR. In the first two hours there were so many backstage segments that someone might get confused that it was some documentary or something like that. We would not say all of them were irrelevant but it sometimes could kill the fun of the show.
Matches of the night were good, there was nothing that could make you overly joyed but they were okay for a weekly show. It is good that WWE is working on new rivalries, and something fresh. But it is pretty unfortunate that the issues remained the same. Once again they failed to book something about the Tag Team Championship.
If Kevin Owens is injured why not just take the Tag Team titles away from Sami and give the opportunity to someone else? Currently they have only one pair of Tag Team titles and they are not being able to book them properly either. The only thing that comes into mind after seeing all these weak booking segments is laziness.
