This week's Raw had heavy focus on the imminent draft and brand-split. Now isn't necessarily the time for new storyline builds, due to the current uncertainty as far as where everyone will land.
I think they played it safe this week, without compromising entertainment. The Wyatt Compound segment was nicely put together and perfectly executed. While some will argue that "WWE stole the idea from TNA," don't buy it.
This is a story they've been putting together for quite some time, it just so happens that the time line fell together closely as it did.
As far as the Battleground main event, I know many are upset with Roman Reigns being allowed to keep his spot in the match. But, when you look at the bigger picture, it's something that really must play out.
Having all three Shield members involved is a primary component to the angle, but I completely understand the backlash.
All in all, this week's Raw did what it was supposed to do. We got some quality action and more importantly, there was emphasis placed on the upcoming changes.
OVERALL GRADE: B
