Sheffield getting injured was one of the worst things to happen for the Nexus angle. His scary, power-based offence is sorely needed amongst Gabriel's athleticism, Otunga's boring wimpiness and Slater's goofiness. He had that genuine, Brock Lesnar-esque "Oh shit..." factor that nobody else in the group has.
For 5 years, though? Come on, a change is always good. What pleasure is there to be had in seeing the same old routine for years on end? Character development and all that.
Spoilt what?

Mine was a Rock n' Roll Express t shirt, God I loved Ricky Morton.
Not long finished watching Bragging Rights, I thought it was generally a pretty good show although like most on here I felt the finish to the main event was predictable and deflating.
What made the show for me though was the crowd and the commentary. We often talk about poor, disinterested WWE crowRAB, well the one in Minneapolis was anything but that. LoaRAB of proper good chants at the right moments, from the "This is Awesome" and "We Want Blood" chants straight out of TNA to them getting behind CM Punk during the 7 on 7 match and chanting "Fire Cena" during the main event.
As others have said, the commentators were on great form and seemed to have a bit of creative freedom over what they were saying.
Matt Striker in particular was great value - loved his baseball (Kirby Puckett!) and comic books references and his general quips, and as a SmackDown man I was joining in with his hip shaking Bragging Rights celebration!
Eat that Cole and King!
Although to be fair Cole and King were pretty good too, it was the first PPV where there's some been cohesion between the three of them rather than Striker seeming the odd-man out. King and Striker were quite cordial, which was nice, rather than it being King sneering at Striker while talking to Cole (as we've heard during the last few PPVs).
Onto the proper stuff...
Bryan v Ziggler was a quality match, easily the best of the night and it helped that the crowd was really into it.
Daniel Bryan can work a great match with anyone, he really deserves his push at the moment, but I hope Dolph's performance does him some good. Ziggler is someone who I've rated for a long while. If he continues to produce matches like that (it's no one-off - he had a cracker with Edge on SmackDown recently) the crowd will begin to favour him, and with the Kaitlyn angle they've got a storyline to potentially turn him face. Question is, would it suit his character?
The card was quite predictable - I got every outcome right on the predictor on here except for the bonus match between DiBiase and Goldust (and obviously the tag team titles) which was a bit dull, but served a purpose as DiBiase won yet Goldust kept the belt, prolonging their feud.
The women's match did its job, I'm glad LayCool retained as I'm hopeful the co-champions storyline will reach its logical conclusion by eventually splitting the pair up and having a PPV match to crown a sole champion.
The Buried Alive match dragged a bit for me, but the Nexus involvement was one of the only really unexpected moments of the show (the other being the unannounced Tag Titles match). It's now got me even more intrigued to see what their deal is and the Survivor Series promo with Barrett seems to suggest we'll see the "bigger picture" revealed in the near future.
Liked the use of a JCB at the end, although as it wasn't concealed I knew it was coming!
As I've said, I was pleased SmackDown won Bragging Rights again, loved Striker's celebratory rant at the end and the match itself wasn't bad. I was convinced SD was done when there was just Edge and Del Rio left - but having Edge cut the numbers down from 6 to 3 and bringing Mysterio back picked the bout up and the ending was really good.
Liked the involvement from A-Ri as well, he annoyed me a lot on NXT but he's come on in leaps and bounRAB since moving to Raw.
Just the main event was the only real disappointment of the show for me - I sympathise with Nik's point of view, what else could they have done, so I suppose I can't fault the long-term booking direction, but for the match on the night it just fell a little flat. They teased something memorable happening - Cena getting "fired" or Barrett winning the title, we got neither.
Still, the other two angles Nexus were involved in last night, having Otunga and Cena win the tag titles and the business with the Undertaker, have left me with enough intrigue to keep watching. And I suppose not having Barrett beaten cleanly by Orton is a plus too (which is what I was expecting to happen, with some get out clause for Cena as well, so at least we weren't served that).
The Nexus are pretty much my main reason for tuning into Raw at the moment, let's hope they keep the momentum up on the road to Survivor Series where they can make the "big reveal" of the bigger picture.

I was a bit disappointed with the finish to the main event I thought the show was a 6/10. The Smackdown vs Raw elimination was poorly done with to many eliminations in a short space of time. Rey Mysterio was always going to come back out it was all a bit predictable in my opinion. It'll be interesting to see what happens between Nexus and Cena tonight.

Maybe the winner will pick the Raw GM as the referee leading to him or her being revealed at Survivor Series.
Either that or Michael Cole will receive the three-counts via email.

WWE has reportedly signed 20 year old Shaul Marie Guerrero to a developmental deal. She is the daughter of Vickie Guerrero and the late Eddie Guerrero. You may have seen her ringside at various WWE events over the years, including the Hall of Fame.
She has reportedly been telling fans at recent FCW shows that she's signed to a deal and waiting to begin her training. We're still waiting confirmation on her signing but that's the word going around.

It's always nice to see JR keeping it real
I'll be up and about, what happens Sunday will decide whether or not I endure Raw on Monday, that's for sure!
Even I, as a Virgin Media customer, find it hard to laugh at that given the way they effed up my WM coverage. If Sky was cheaper I'd be back there tomorrow.
I got Bryson Slowkneeler - they know us so well

I was reading JR's blog and he reckons Undertaker could go on till Wrestlemania 30, If that happens i'm sure he will be having shorter stints to get him there
The only chance I am probably going to get to comment before my connection fails again
What an embarrassing show tonight, totally BS propaganda campaign to help Linda over the finish line
Hasn't it even occured to Vince that it's 80% of the adult fans that have switched off because they are fed up with this PG crap, felt more like a bad Saturday morning cartoon show than WWE Raw tonight
Still at least we got to see someone's titles twice and another rare Gail sighting
Other than that :yawn:, the crowd sounded like they couldn't care less about this Smackdown v Raw match on Sunday
Nice to hear Nattie got such a great pop
