1) I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY FOR SHEAMUS + CESARO!!

NO ONE deserved to be Tag Team Champions more than these two hunky European men. Okay, maybe Doc + Anderson deserved it too, but Sheamus and Cesaro were literally thrown into the mix at random and they made it work!

2) THE 'SHIELD' REUNION.

I am honestly not excited about a potential 'permanent' Shield reunion at all. Everyone keeps saying they want Ambrose to be drafted to Raw, but I say, KEEP HIM IN SMACK DOWN PORFAVOR!

While I am low-key enjoying this whole Reigns + Rollins alliance (ALTHOUGH ROLLINS TOTALLY SHOT HIM IN THE BACK MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A STEEL CHAIR IN THE PAST), I don't want Ambrose to partake in it just yet.

Let Rolleigns keep up their shenanigans.

They clearly don't need the help, YET.

The only way I want to see the Shield REUNITE, like ALL THREE HANDSOME AF MEN IS WHEN TRIPLE H RETURNS.

(MARK MY WORDS) IF IT HAPPENS BECAUSE I HAVE A GUT FEELING THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN -- IMAGINE that Triple H returns. He finally addresses Seth as to why he was disowned, etc.

THEN TRIPLE H has Seth + Roman beaten up badly, like JBL dragging a bleeding John Cena badly.

SO after a week or two of totally decimating Seth + Roman, Dean Ambrose is thrown in the mix because he's not just going to let his 'brothas' be destroyed, nope.

THIS IS WHERE YOU SUCCESSFULLY BRING ALL THREE MEN IN TO BATTLE THE DARK FORCES OF TRIPLE H / THE AUTHORITY / KEVIN OWENS IF HE'S THROWN INTO THIS.

3) KEVIN OWENS + CHRIS JERICHO.

I cannot wait for Chris to either backstab Owens, or for Kevin to out do the ultimate backstabber and further back stab Jericho.

In with the new, out with the old.

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that my heart will go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

4) SAMI ZAYN // BRAUN THE CHRISTMAS ASSASSIN

SAMI ZAYN FUCKING WON AND FUCKING HALLELUJAH I WILL REVIEW THAT WITH MORE DEPTH LATER ON BUT FOR NOW, I have been LIVING for all these tumblr gifs/ etc.

Braun roaring at the top of his lungs for Sami:

Braun killing everyone in a rampage in the pursuit of Sami is exactly how I feel when Sami isn't on Raw and/or involved in a storyline (via tumblr).

5) NEVILLE!

Another thing I'm so fucking stoked about is Neville's heel turn! I'll rant about this more in the next chapter, but for now, just know that I'm really happy for him + think this is definitely what he needed!

6) RANDOM BITS + BOPS:

- I am happy that more of the women in the RAW roster are being utilized / slowly put into a story. I'm all on board for this Sasha Banks / Nia Jax angle even though it'll probably be the cliche little girl with heart of gold vs bigger, meaner, and tougher opponent.

- Bayley our baby is finally heading in the right direction and I'm all for that!

- Emmalina! Listen, 1000% loved evil Emma, but I am willing to give Emmalina the chance. The gimmick might be cringy af, but we all know Emma can more than wrestle. It kinda seems to me like they're giving her this "Candice Michelle" gimmick where she's the hot girl but can back it up type of deal / doesn't mind that she gets by with her looks bc she can back it up with her in ring skills too, etc.

(side note: say what you want about candice michelle but to me, she really really grew towards the end of her career + could have definitely been a 'nikki bella' if you will, if she hadn't gotten injured).

- Back to Emmalina, I'd really like to see her clash with Sasha / Charlotte or even her previous old partner, Dana Brooke.

-- GIVE MY BABY ALICIA FOX MORE TIME PLEASE. I LOVE her delivery or promo's, her voice, her wacky behavior. I think she can be SO much more than someone's "chick" bc SHE HAS THE BEST NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED.

p.s. gnome darp whatever the fuck his scottish name is, he better back off from foxy xD

7) OVERALL, this was a pretty solid Raw, but I am SO MUCH MORE HYPED FOR THIS:

JOHN CENA RETURNS AND I DO LOVE HIM BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE MORE THAN JOHN CENA ALONE?

AJ STYLES BEATING UP JOHN CENA!
