Thank you Becky! Saving what was, in general, a pretty awful episode of Raw. They buried the tag division, told us point blank to not care about Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, and had Ronda cut a promo on millennial - despite being one herself. Thank you Becky. I'd also like to apologise for what might be the grossest outro in the history of podcasts. Come see Luke, Laurie and Oli present BEYOND THE MAT at the Prince Charles Cinema on November 13th.

Oh, poor Braun. He was once one of the biggest babyfaces on Raw, but something has gone wrong along the way - and losing to Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel certainly didn't help.

What a bizarre show. An utterly bizarre show. The oddest things happened among some controversial bits with loads of bland and boring stuff thrown in. Weird. Also, Shane McMahon is apparently the best wrestler in the world. Also, we say in the episode that Triple H injured himself during the table spot with Kane, but it appears it happened much earlier in the match .
