WRESTLING RECAP: Playtime Williams breaks down WWE Raw from 06/29/15

(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - Pay Per View (PPV) Battleground (BG) is now in 3 weeks. It is time to really start selling the story lines for the upcoming PPV.  I do like that this Monday's episode relied on more wrestling, and did not play it safe like last week.


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. 
5. The Tag Team Division is starting to look better than the singles division.  Get more people graduated from NXT and get that division showcased more. 

Here are the highlights of the show:

AirDate: Monday, June 29, 2015
Location: Washington D.C.
