Sheamus Wins The United States Championship
A United States Championship Battle Royal starts off WWE Raw. The last two are Ambrose and Sheamus, two faces. Sheamus winning the battle royal was a really smart call. We all know that Dean Ambrose has done NOTHING for that championship. He rarely defends it and has more important storylines to work with. What is he doing with the US title for almost a year? It gave him quick credibility, but his involvement with The Shield and main event talent means so much more than this title.
Maybe Sheamus can give some sort of importance back. If anything, we can get really solid mid card matches with a guy who knows how to main event PPV's.
Score: 6/10
The Wyatt Family defeated The Shield
First off, I can watch these three guys wrestle any second of any day. The action was incredible and the spots continue to fly. Bray Wyatt gets the win with Sister Abigal after Evolution comes down to distract The Shield.
After the match, WWE hits the repeat button and does the same thing as we have seen for weeks. Evolution loses at Extreme Rules, but they come out for some Payback. Although the match was good, what is going to be the difference here? I would rather see a War Games type feud with The Shield, Evolution and The Wyatt Family. I just want to see ONE team with sheer dominance. There needs to be something new here, not just WWE sticking to what they know is going to be a good match. When will great storytelling and creativity be a main focus?
