WRESTLING RECAP: Playtime Williams breaks down WWE Raw from 10/19/15

(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - The Hell in A Cell (HIAC) Pay Per View (PPV) is this Sunday, so it is time for the WWE to get these matches and rivalries really popping.  This show was a pretty decent showing, but still didn't add any new wrinkles into the WWE fabric to shake  up the WWE Universe.  full throttle now.


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:
