Was RAW much different at all, from the weeks prior?
#1 Worst: The gauntlet match
Ad
This match just went on and on, for far too long, I thought
The problem with the gauntlet match in the main event spot is that a lot of the women involved do not have their characters fleshed out yet. So when Dana Brooke or Mickie James are competing, does the audience have a reason to care at all? The crowd, which was hot for most of the night, grew quite still and restless. There were moments of brilliance but the match was too long.

Also, I would have personally preferred to see Sasha Banks take on Ronda Rousey instead of Natalya at this particular juncture. The show would end with a staredown and a face off instead of a hug then. I wasn't a big fan of the new era of RAW ending with two friends merely hugging in the middle of the ring.
