Fight forever!
Fight forever!

For the second week in a row, RAW provided viewers with two championship matches and a number one contender’s match.

Though the Kevin Owens / Roman Reigns and New Day / Gallows & Anderson matches were fairly predictable, Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair took things to the next level in a hard hitting match with a surprising finish.

In addition, plenty of other feuds progressed – from Rollins / Jericho to Enzo / Rusev to Swann / Kendrick, and even Lesnar / Goldberg (to be continued in January at the Royal Rumble). They even set up 205 Live with a clear up and coming contender with Cedric Alexander. Things could get interesting fast over there following SmackDown each week.

Good times!

For most of the last 30+ years of my life, I've been watching WWE. As a kid, Monday Night Raw hooked me from the start. From Bret Hart and Razor Ramon, to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.. I've witnessed the ups and downs and I'm proud to have enjoyed pro wrestling through the years.

Though I now watch in a much different fashion than I did when I was a kid (finding out Vince McMahon was the owner and Jack Tunney no more than a figurehead was like finding out Santa Claus did not exist), I feel like I have a much greater appreciation for the hard work pro wrestlers do and the things they sacrifice to entertain us.

It's still real to me, dammit!
