So I just found out that Eric Young also works backstage a lot at WWE. Didn't know that till now
That opening segment was pure cringe.
Congrats to Rey on retaining.
Drew finally starting to look like a badass again, about time.
Orton messing with AJ is actually pretty fun.
Hopefully KO doesn't just keep getting laid out every week going forward.
The Women's TLC match should be good, but I'm still not liking Becky and Charlotte going after the tag titles. Especially since Becky hasn't defended her title on PPV or TV in months, which even she acknowledges. They're already being pushed hard as single's stars, let some of the other women that you're doing nothing with compete in the tag division. And hopefully they aren't dumb enough to have KW lose at the PPV either.
Overall an ok, if uneven, Raw.
People were complaining a bit that Charlotte got too much offense against the KW last week... but I thought that was actually OKAY. I think Becky was actually more guilty of that this week... plus Becky actually won the match. But I get using the chair to set up a TLC match.
As for Becky and Charlotte winning the tag belts... they certainly don't need it, but I'm okay if they get a run as tag champs as long as it's relatively short. They're the 2 biggest female stars in the company, so I think they do deserve a run with the belts as long as it's not TOO long. But if they have it longer than a month, Becky needs to drop her raw womans title. But right now I'm assuming either they don't win the belts at all, or win them but drop them back to the KW at the Rumble.
As for KO... he's feuding with 3 guys at once, so he's likely going to get laid out quite a bit in this feud unless he gets some help. KO obviously needs to get the upperhand eventually here... but given this is AoP's big return and given this is Seths heel turn (which was done very very well), KO at least in the short term as to come out on the losing end so as to not water down Seth and the AoP's run.
I'm a little surpriseed we didn't get a PPV with KO and Seth vs the AoP to set up the turn... but that probably would have been too predictable.

Dang... that Saito suplex through the table by Mia was pretty darn hardcore.
Probably should have saved that for a Take Over match or something.
AEW was just bad this week. Sakura and Swole should have been a five minute match. After all the buzz of Hager debut, it has all petered out. He is just a replaceable big dude. That's disappointing. Brandi Rhodes is must see the but not must listen to tv.
The Dark Order vignettes are nice, but its pearls on a pig.
The Page/Omega match was just disjointed. The only person that shined in that match was Penelope Ford.
Janela was cringe. Tully gave a boring promo. I guess Spears is a face now? Gimmick ropes.... Really?!!!!
The only joy I am going to get from this show is Cornette ripping it on his podcast.
