Best and Worst of RAW Before Extreme Rules

There was much to both like and dislike this week

#2 Best: Hot start

RAW made us sit up and take notice, right from the outset

Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley had a face-off at the top of the show, this week. The two men eventually came to blows in the ring shortly thereafter. It was the perfect way to start RAW off.

The two men seem like absolute beasts heading into Extreme Rules. The fact that the whole locker room couldn't contain them proves that they're at a different level from the rest of the roster, at least in kayfabe.

Sadly, WWE couldn't maintain the momentum that they had at the top of the show, for the remainder of the episode.

Both men even cut excellent promos during the show. I'm actually a little excited about their match now!
