-- John Cena and Triple H Opening Exchange: Fascinating to see Triple H thrown off by the "Daniel Bryan" chants. Then, a nice attempt by John Cena to take ownership of the fans expressing their displeasure with WWE’s decisions lately, but they weren’t chanting “John Cena” or “The Authority Sucks” or “We Want Big Show.” They were chanting for something that is not part of the current storyline. Bryan has been “moved on to something else,” but fans are firmly expressing their displeasure with that, and it’s separate from the current storyline. Nice try, though, from Cena to address it and try to steer it back into the flow that WWE is forcing on fans.

-- C.M. Punk & Daniel Bryan's in-ring promo: That was the best part of Raw to that point, as fans who like Punk and Bryan got a promo from them, and for once Punk wasn’t talking about Paul Heyman. Punk always wins with a certain segment of fans when it seems he’s talking to them on a different frequency (insider/indy) than the rest of the wrestlers are allowed to.

-- The Wyatts "kidnapping" Daniel Bryan: It’s too bad WWE ignored the Kane abduction by the Wyatts, because it taught fans not to care about this stuff because the next time they see Bryan, he might be Fandango’s dance partner or something having nothing to do with the Wyatts.

-- Opening match (Rey Mysterio & Rhodes Bros. vs. The Shield): Nice six-man tag. Good story with Goldust fighting adversity early and then a hot finish that once again put Roman Reigns over big. They have big plans for him. He has yet to be tested as someone who can live up the position he seems to be being anointed to.

-- The Miz vs. Kofi Kingston: An honest effort by the wrestlers, but came across as a time-filler on a needlessly overly long three-hour format for Raw.

-- Michael Strahan & Erick Rowan backstage skit with Santino: The vaunted WWE writing team came through again with that great segment. It doesn’t help at all the Wyatt Family gimmick to have Rowan involved in a cheesy, poorly-written, unfunny, slapstick, celebrity-stroking skit like that.
