RAW REVIEW 06/06/2016
(1/10) Opening Segment:
All MITB competitors verbally speak over who will take the briefcase, all while on ladders. Teddy Long returns and nobody understands what he is saying, so Steph escorts him to the back and books Cesaro VS Jericho, Owens VS Ambrose and Del Rio VS Sami Zayn for this show.
Pros and Cons (2-1):
Pros:
- Solid show opener
- Interesting beginning segment
Cons:
- What the hell was Teddy Long booked to do? Not make sense? That’s what it seems.

Good pop for all faces and the returning Teddy.

Cesaro beats Jericho.

Rating: 3.25/10
(10/10) 3 V 3 Main Event:
New Day VS The Club, but the Club took out Woods so it ended up being a 3 on 2 with the Club winning, and Cena coming out later on for the save to end the show.
Pros and Cons (2-1):
Pros:
- Great match
- Good way to end the show
Cons:
- Karl and Luke should be taken more seriously. They should be booked better, to seem more dominant and like big threats.
Rating: 9/10
RAW Overall rating: 7/10.
This RAW was way worse than the last one. Hopefully next week’s RAW will be good.
