WRESTLING RECAP: Playtime Williams breaks down WWE Raw from 05/04/15

(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - Pay Per View (PPV) Payback is quickly approaching. The best way to get your audience excited about a PPV that is not named "WrestleMania, is by giving them unpredictable matches and results leading up to your big show.  I will say, this RAW finally delivered great writing and had just enough "outside the comfort zone" writing to make someone excited about the upcoming 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

Here are the highlights of the show:
