Best and worst of Raw: September 04, 2017

#2 Best: Hot start

This was a pretty cool way to kickstart Raw, this week

We are glad to report that RAW did not begin with yet another lengthy promo that went nowhere, but instead started with a match this week. This was a star making performance for Jason Jordan, who put on a great match against John Cena.

As long as he does not have a microphone in his hand, Jason Jordan looks, behaves and wrestles like a star. This week, we saw him under the spotlight at long last.

We saw complaints online that Jason Jordan got buried by John Cena, but nothing could be further from the truth. Jordan had a chance to shine in a singles environment, and he lost to a 16-time world champion. Roman Reigns also protected Jordan by highlighting the fact that he hung in there for 20 minutes against John Cena on such a big stage.
