(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - The Survivor Series (SS) Pay Per View (PPV) is 1 day in the past.  This PPV was average at best, with a predictable story line for the hard core viewers.  Well, you have a new PPV in 3 weeks, Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) that you truly need to get momentum going. This RAW was rather average, and did not do much for creating excitement and anticipation for the TLC PPV.


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, November 23, 2015
Location: Nashville, TN
Commentators:  JBL, Micheal Cole and Byron Saxton

New rating scale:  1- Forgettable match; 2 - Normal/average; 3 - Good match; 4- Potential classic
