(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - One day after the WWE Pay Per View (PPV) Fastlane which means RAW has to come with fire because the next PPV is Wrestlemania!  This RAW started off with a nuclear bomb and fizzled out to a bang snap!

The WWE writers are dropping the ball big time by creating matches on the spur of the moment without any real build up.


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:
