#5 Overall enjoyment – Winner: Raw
Trending
It feels harsh to give a clean sweep victory to Raw this week, as the SmackDown show was by no means bad. Monday night was just far too entertaining, however, and I definitely had more fun watching on Monday compared with Tuesday.
Raw was solid from start to finish. There were two excellent matches either side of some very entertaining, very humorous promo work. Seeing new rivalries develop is always going to make a show more interesting, and the fact of the matter is that Monday night just has the better and deeper roster at the moment. When you consider that the Universal Champion didn’t even appear on the show, it’s impressive to think that Raw’s title scene had more to it than SmackDown’s.

Yes, we actually did see the champion appear on Tuesday, but the match and promo he was involved with were both instantly forgettable. It’s starting to become clear that not having Brock on Raw every week is actually more of a help than a hindrance when your other main champion is Jinder Mahal.
Hopefully, SmackDown can pull it back over the next couple of weeks as we head into Money in the Bank. We also have the return of John Cena, scheduled for July 4th, which ought to deepen the roster considerably. This week, however, Raw annihilated its main competitor.
Winner: Raw 5-0.
