Raw happened last night, and things happened on it - mostly instantly forgettable - but there were two that stood out:
1. Alexa Bliss nonchalantly shut down "WHAT" chants during her promo, thereby proving that she's a better promo than any other woman on the roster. I mean, they should never let Bayley talk in the same segment as Alexa ever again. The gulf in quality is obvious.
2. Karl Anderson called Enzo a "buttnugget." I didn't know this was a word until yesterday, but now I recognize that there is no other word that describes Enzo more perfectly.

Nous ne nous pouvons pas sortir. -Braun checked the inside of the dumpster to make sure Roman or any of the other geeks he's squished weren't waiting inside, thus making him the smartest pro wrestler in the history of time.
-Kallisto actually looked strongish in the match without Braun looking weak.
-Kallisto looks like he stole a mask from Lucha Underground and he changed music. Both are improvements.
-The return of Rhyno and his love for crackers/Cheese Whiz!
-Curtis Axel made the Hulu version for the first time since 2014ish!
-Bray looked strong. That feels weird.
-Dean still owes Jericho $15,000 and is still on the list.
I liked Sasha and Alexa trash talking before, during and after the match. I think that is the real money feud. Bayley is a fine talker when she is given stuff to do. Her walking into on Raw like it was the first day of school was my favorite moment of 2016. I am sorta tired of everyone ragging on babyfaces while loving every second of a heel then want them to turn face the cry they are bland in some form. The vicious cycle that is the IWC.

Continuing on from when he chokeslammed Jericho thru the announcer table before his match with KO. He really is the smartest.

She surely is.

Alexa Bliss acts great, and looks great. And seems to have a genuine passion for the business. If she can hold her own in the ring, she's going to be a Star with a capital S.
Once again Braun looks amazing and I still have no idea who is booking him as opposed to the rest of the roster.
I'm so scared they are going to mess up this Braun thing somehow at Payback.
Alexa has been an all-star since her call-up. Sasha really needs to jump back over to the dark side, being Bayley's backup isn't the right fit for her.
I just want the Drifter to drift through random scenes for the next two years. Braun pushes over a WWE semi onto Kalisto as the Drifter wanders by!
Eddy, Regal and others were still heels when involved in WCW vs. WCW feuds and matches, but just about everyone in WCW operated as a face against the nWo at the start.
