(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - 6 nights away and the WWE Universe needs the WWE to make the Summer Slam (SS) Pay Per View (PPV), something to talk about for a long time. 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 SS. This show needs to get the Wold Heavyweight Title buzzing in the WWE Universe. This particular episode of RAW seemed to be saving the really risky stuff for the PPV. They went 50% the entire night mostly.
Some things I still need to happen in the WWE Universe:
- Bring back the Cruiser Weight Division
- Make all the matches mean something to some sort of belt or rivalry.
- Show more of the roster. You guys recycle the same talent too much.
- You may wish to consider bringing the Diva's division full circle and have them with Tag Title belts, lightweight belts, etc.
- 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:
