(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - The Hell in A Cell (HIAC) Pay Per View (PPV) is a thing of the past, and now time to move on to the Survivor Series (SS) PPV.  This particular episode of RAW was kind of an average showing that didn't really cement a desire to see the SS PPV, but merely teased that the PPV had potential.


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:
