Thoughts: It was long and I wasn't a big fan of it. They had a lot of botches and sloppy moments in this one and it was not what it should have been at all. I'm really getting concerned that Rey is finally starting to age after a couple of weeks in a row with multiple botches. 

The New Day then jump Rey to end the show. We only see about a second of it.

Overall thoughts: It was a very wrestling heavy Raw and not one of my favorite episodes. The main was long and had a lot of sloppy moments. Bayley/Lyra also had a lot of slop in it. I liked the tag title match an the Liv/Raquel vs Damage Ctrl match was good too. WWE made a lot of roster changes and because of it ended up losing people like Drew who were really intertwined with all the stories. It's going to take a while to get used to the new crew and I don't think it's going to reach the heights of the last two years. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 but I wouldn't recommend it.
