(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - Momentum for the WWE Pay Per View (PPV) Fastlane should have been into high gear already considering it is only 6 days away.  The WWE writers dropped the ball big time and are throwing together matches and story lines at the last second.  This RAW was not a waste of time, but could have been way better if the writers would have build up the matches in the previous weeks.


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:
