WRESTLING RECAP: Playtime Williams breaks down WWE Raw from 05/11/15

(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - Pay Per View (PPV) Payback is 6 days away. With a great RAW last week, you could cement the need to see this PPV with a good RAw this week.  Overall, a decent RAW to help build PPV excitement and anticipation.


Some things I still need to happen in the WWE Universe:

1. Bring back the Cruiser Weight Division
2. Make all the matches mean something to some sort of belt or rivalry.  
3. Show more of the roster.  You guys recycle the same talent too much.
4. You may wish to consider bringing the Diva's division full circle and have them with Tag Title belts, lightweight belts, etc.

Here are the highlights of the show:
