Eh, I think Del Rio, when he was the scumbag aristocrat or protective face looking after Ricardo, was fine on promos. He was no Ziggler or Heyman, but he was solid enough.
They just really misused him, imo, and i'm not surprised he wanted to leave.
RAW was... It was all right. They didn't build up Summerslam nearly enough imo, though at least they did something Miz/Ziggler and AJ/Paige, so that was something.
I have to admit, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Cena wins on Sunday. I'm not even thinking Lesnar WILL win anymore; I just accept that either is capable of winning.
The legends showing up at the end was nice, but for a go-home raw, this really wasn't enough imo.
Nice to see Sheamus back (heard he was ill), and him and Orton actually put on a better match than I'm used to seeing from them. Shame the belt won't be defended on Sunday.
I see there's no tag match on Sunday, but I'm not surprised. If the rumours are to be believed, the Usos won't be champions come the end of main event.

BTW, anyone see Ziggler beating Orton CLEAN at a house show this week? It was awesome.
Raw to me was eh.
They have Reigns following in the footsteps of Cena. I guess we can call him SuperReigns. Ryback who was once a promising up and coming monster, is now a monster jobber. Soon before you know it, WWE most likely will be releasing him and Axel to cut more of the roster.
Sandow should just quit. It's getting quite unbearable. I usually change the channel, when he comes on with his new ridiculous gimmick.
Paige literally doing shit as usual. I think she would be better off in Impact wrestling. At least the women there wrestle. The WWE women's division is an absolute joke.
Sheamus/Orton was pretty entertaining.
I wish we could have seen Cena and Lesnar throwdown. I really wonder about this SummerSlam PPV. I won't be purchasing so I will find out the results on the website and watching Bruce Blitz'z video breakdown.
I honestly fear for Reign's in the future, the WWE is honestly sticking him with John Cena's worst traits. Just let him talk low, be cool and help him find a couple filler moves to transition between high spots.
I suggest a german & an abdominal stretch into a pump handle back throw. Let him work his opponents core.
