JR Blog: Raw Reaction, Daniel Bryan, Brock Lesnar, Shield/Roman Reigns Break-up

News

Jim Ross checks in with thoughts from Raw!

on Daniel Bryan
Enjoyed how RAW started and for all the Daniel Bryan conspiracy theorists that were very vocal Sunday night, Bryan’s inclusion in segment one and in the last segment of RAW should provide some anxiety relief for those thinking that no one in a decision making position is aware that Daniel Bryan is ‘over.’

Trust me, if WWE wanted to bury Bryan he would not have been in both the opening and closing segments of Monday Night RAW. I think that DB fans will be happy when this particular journey reaches its destination no matter how dysfunctional it may seem to be.

on Brock Lesnar
Lesnar was back in nasty, beast mode (is there any other kind?) and he and his advocate Happy Heyman made their presence felt. I wish Lesnar’s contractual matters would allow him to appear on more RAW broadcasts as that would help in maximizing Lesnar’s earnings along with Heyman’s share of the take.

on Roman Reigns
Good minutes for the Shield and especially sound, strategic usage of Roman Reigns. It’s a big mistake to sleep on Seth Rollins or Dean Ambrose for those who might be over thinking the whole Shield business.
