WRESTLING RECAP: Playtime Williams breaks down WWE Raw from 07/27/15



(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - There is still a buzz in the WWE Universe about Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker eventually bumping heads.  Everyone already knows that this will be the main event at the Pay Per View (PPV) Summer Slam (SS).  This show truly needs to cultivate the potential of SS to get people crazy with anticipation of the upcoming PPV.  This particular episode of RAW was memorable because of a cool injury.


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, July 27, 2015
Location: Oklahoma City, OK
Commentators:  JBL, Micheal Cole and Byron Saxton
