Thoughts: It was an okay match. It was more athletic than the usual bout with everyone flying here. Catalina shouldn't have lost here since she's the AAA Reina de Reinas champ. It kind of sucks Iyo lost as that means she won't be in MTB where she would shin.

Thoughts: Well, we knew Lee wasn't winning this one. It was a workrate match here with a lot of action. They didn't go too crazy with it and it was an okay main. But it was one of the weakest Raw main events ever with very little starpower here.
Overall thoughts: I thought they had too much Spanish speaking on this show. I'm sure some people enjoyed it, but if the show is going to continue in this direction, it's going to create a lot of problems. The show was lacking bigtime in starpower, but with all the retirements, I don't even know who is left outside of maybe Roman, Seth, Cody, Orton and Drew. WWE relied on older guys for too long and it's leading to downright bizarre stuff like Dragon Lee in the main event. The opener was okay and probably the best match of the night. Breakker/Evans was okay but had a lame finish. Bayley/Lyra had another weak finish but the match was alright. The main was okay wrestling wise, but it was easily one of the weakest Raw main events starpower wise and it's something that would have been a midcard match a few years ago. The 946/Bloodline feud isn't working out as much as they hope and The Vision continues to be a dead end. The wrestling was fine here and easily made this a 6 out of 10, but this show is in some real trouble going forward. They devalued so many people this year like Fatu, Jey and Bron and their replacements are not suitable. The show was okay but that's it.
