WWE Raw kicked off with the reigning Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar in a great reception from the crowd. It was evident that we would see a brawl between him and the contender, Roman Reigns.
So, there was no exception. The latter one got beaten down by the beast incarnate, once again to gain sympathy from the crowd. Whether someone likes it or not, the officials are going all out to hype up the main event match with fire-cracking segments.
Very strong way to open the show tonight with Brock Lesnar beating up Roman Reigns for the second week in a row, they are really trying to build sympathy for Reigns ahead of #WrestleMania, I’m not convinced that path will work, but it still made very a strong segment #RAW

The opening contest was quite good between Mickie James and Nia Jax. Unlike the other matches that let the crowd sit, quietly, this was an actual worth-to-watch contest that set up the tone for the women’s title bout.
The Samoan superstar is gradually building her up as a natural babyface who is getting crowd’s positive reactions. It is a good thing for her before the Wrestlemania season.
Amongst the other segments on WWE Raw, it is worth to note the altercations between Bayley and Sasha Banks. After months of cold war between these two, tonight they finally burst out to let their frustrations out. It ensured a brawl that the crowd has been waiting for.
There’s nothing better to see a heel Sasha Banks since she is so good to play the role. We might get to see it in the upcoming week.
Very happy to see #WWE pull the trigger on this Bayley vs. Sasha Banks feud on the main roster, Banks is just so much better as a heel #RAW

It was good to see Ronda Rousey back on WWE Raw. She is gradually improving with the mic in hand as well as while showing the in-ring skills.
The segment of herself going against the Absolution was a fresh thing to watch out on the show. Dominating the faction members by herself was a good thing for her heading into Wrestlemania. It gave her the momentums for the debut match.
Welp, no Undertaker tonight as many were expecting, this was probably a big letdown for the viewing audience, but I don’t totally mind dragging this thing out to one more week to really build up the hype for #WrestleMania showdown #RAW

The main event match on WWE Raw lived up to the hypes but the aftermath disappointed most of the fans. There was no Undertaker, as the Cleveland crowd expected him to see with just 13 days remaining from Wrestlemania.
From a storyline perspective, it’s good to see to keep the confusion, as this would keep the fans invested into the angle. Next week, the big return is likely to happen.
Overall, this was a #RAW with a very strong two hours and a dull third hour, it picked up a tad with the build for Cena/Undertaker, I’m sure many fans were disappointed without a resolution two weeks out from #WrestleMania, they really have to hit it out of the park next week
