Was Monday Night RAW's new set of characters, made the show as lacklustre as Smackdown a few days back?
For the most part, I'll say no. This week's episode was actually watchable and the 3 hours flew by so quick, Quicksilver was jealous.

Big E Had Fresh Challengers To Engage With.
Aka the "one wrestler after the other stating why they should be number one contender" cliche.
The segment that involved Finn Balor, Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens, led to a brawl because of course, it did.
A four-way ladder match was pencilled in for the main event and if I had to rate this in the "Siskel and Ebert" format, it's two thumbs up.
Sethy Rollings emerged victorious which means he's facing Big E for the championship hopefully at the upcoming Survivor Series PPV because I'm getting sick of the "RAW vs Smackdown" concept like two Smackdown intros ago.
The Street Profits vs Alpha Academy vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode. Winner Faces RKBRO For The RAW Tag Team Championship Later In The Night.
God damn, I've seen more wrestling on RAW than Smackdown. There's no reason why Smackdown or any other TV show is better than Monday Night RAW bruh.
Thanks to Omos giving Montez Ford the good old punch, Ziggler and Robert Roode won the match and faced RKBRO for the red tag belts later in the episode (which RKBRO retained, by the way).
Queen Zelina Vega's First Royal Statement.
Zelina Vega is officially a queen which wouldn't make the alpha dudes happy seeing that I just called a woman a queen.
Just like all the heels of the past, that won the King Of The Ring tournament or In this case, Queen's Crown, her new persona revolves around her victory.
And just like King Booker, Vega put on a fake British accent. The difference is that it isn't amusing or impressive.
I will say, she held herself decently in her new persona so there's that.
Oh, and a match happened between Zelina Vega and Doudrop which Vega won.
Bianca Belair Was Like, "GIMME THE TITLE MATCH".
And Becky Lynch responded with a no. Then, Belair replied with a series of beat downs using the kendo stick to Becky.
But, Belair was taken down for a bit with a Russian leg sweep. I mean, I've seen worse so I have nothing major to say about this segment.
Damian Priest vs T-Bar.
Since Retribution isn't a thing anymore (thank you, Allah), can T-Bar get his Croatian a** name back?
The United States champion got new entrance music and it sounds the same as 90% of all WWE theme music these days.
The match ended via a DQ due to T-Bar throwing the announce chair on Damian Priest to which Priest killed the guy with relentless beatdowns.
Liv Morgan vs Carmella.
I shouldn't give Monday Night RAW too many flowers because would you look at that, boys, it's the darn meaningless rematches!
Keith "Bearcat" Lee vs Cedric Alexander.
The man who's big as a bear and quick as a cat, defended Cedric Alexander with the big bang catastrophe.
"Limitless" Keith Lee is no more, which sucks but the thing replacing it, is something that's a little bit difficult to get used to seeing.
Austin Theory vs Dominik Mysterio.
This match took place because Dominik wasn't too happy with Austin Theory telling Eddie Guererro’s unofficial son to take a picture with Rey Mysterio.
And Austin picked up the victory with the ATL.
So, unlike Tyler Breeze on the main roster 5/6 years ago with his selfie craze, Austin Theory has actually won some matches.
And the final thing that happened on this show before the ladder match was a video highlight of Veer coming to Monday Night RAW. Cool.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: The 4-way ladder match, Street Profits vs Alpha Academy vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode.
Didn't like: Another Carmella vs Liv Morgan match.
