– Prior to last night’s RAW from Pittsburgh, WWE taped the following matches for this week’s Superstars:
Sin Cara vs. Bo Dallas
Titus O’Neill & Jack Swagger vs. The Dudley Boyz
– Three of SmackDown’s top Superstars were in attendance for RAW and actually wrestled after the show went off the air. The dark match main event saw WWE Champion Dean Ambrose and John Cena defeat Seth Rollins and AJ Styles in an inter-brand tag team match. Fans in attendance noted on social media that the match was ‘average’ and nothing special. We’ll see if this was a one-off event, or if WWE advertises “special appearances” from SmackDown Superstars to sell tickets for RAW tapings and vice versa. If SmackDown is behind held in a city not far from where RAW is taped, you could see a “non-televised appearance from John Cena” boosting attendance.
– WWE promised the start of a new era last night on RAW and the overwhelming consensus is that they delivered. The commentary, graphics & production tweaks, the post-match interviews, the enhancement matches, Finn Balor’s stellar debut and Sasha Banks’ title win all gave the show a fresh feel. WWE runs a weekly poll on Twitter asking for feedback about RAW, if you enjoyed the show and want more of what we saw last night, let them know:
