It was an okay show, but not up to last week's standard. Perhaps if I hadn't been ready to fall asleep
before watching it, I might've felt differently.
The tag title match was decent enough, though not what either team is really capable of. I'd assume they'll cross paths again however, unless the Colons are heading for a split (which would be a mistake, in my opinion).
I forgot to comment in the Bash thread just how good the hype video for Cena/Miz was, so I'm glad they played it again on RAW to remind me. Well put together, even if it did include a sly plug for Cena's favorite razor (and sponsor of The Bash, by golly).
I was surprised, and a little disappointed (in the short term) to see all three of Orton's opponents being from ECW. Just for some novelty and variety I was hoping for some SmackDown exports in the mix, but I imagine the other two additions will be from Friday nights. Very odd seeing Mark Henry as a face after this long. Nitpicking time: I felt his little promo would have gained a bigger pop if he'd kept it more succinct - there were too many unnecessary words in there, reducing its impact.
Without reading any spoilers, I'm guessing that one of the stars RAW lost in the trade was Santino. He's the only person I could think of who was conspicuous by his absence.
Great teaser by Vince regarding ticket refunds.
