(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - WWE Pay Per View (PPV) Wrestlemania was yesterday and their are mixed emotions about how much of a success the show was.  It was definitely a success...attendance records broken...worldwide #1 Twitter active event...most socially talked about event of the weekend I am sure!  Quality of matches is a topic of debate that will go back and forth for months to come.

Now we get to RAW, and we have to see what dust settles from Wrestelmania.  This RAW espisode was actually worth watching.  Many surprises throughout the show and great energy from the crowd. 

NOTE: All my images are directly from WWE.com

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:
