A lot of the rest of the show was littered with numerous, pointless segments and squash matches. Cesaro had no trouble beating No Way Jose whilst the Viking Raiders easily destroyed a couple of jobbers.

Even a short in-ring promo from Paul Heyman felt lifeless as he once again teased a cash-in from Brock Lesnar this Sunday.

The trashy soap opera nonsense between Mike and Maria Kanellis continued as Maria suggested that perhaps Mike isn’t the father of her second child. All these segments were indicative of the overall show and did nothing but sap the energy out of the viewing audience.

Grade: D-

#5 The Honeymoon continues

Not even Drake Maverick and R-Truth could inject some life into this week’s Raw with their 24/7 Championship shenanigans.

In fact, they only added to the illogical booking as Drake Maverick brought his new wife to Newark, New Jersey for the second part of their honeymoon.

Why would he want to come to Raw? Surely he wants to avoid all the other wrestlers that are after his championship.

The usual stuff of the jobbers chasing the 24/7 Champion around the arena took up a number of segments, but none of them felt as entertaining as they have in recent weeks.

Grade: C-
