* Bray Wyatt kicks off the show with a promo in the ring. Roman Reigns interrupts on the big screen and brags about beating Wyatt all over Atlanta at RAW but says Bray ran. Reigns and Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus and Big Show is announced as the main event.

* The Lucha Dragons vs. The New Day is up next with The Prime Time Players on commentary. Big E gets the win for his team by pinfall.

* Bad News Barrett defeated Jack Swagger with the Bullhammer. R-Truth came out after the match to cut a promo on Barrett and their match at the Battleground Kickoff.

* Cesaro defeated Rusev in what was said to be a very good lengthy match.

* Neville defeated Stardust.

* We get RAW recaps.

* They air a recap of the NXT Divas debuting on RAW. Sasha Banks, Tamina Snuka and Naomi cut a backstage promo and reveal their name to be Team BAD for Best at Dominating.

* Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeated Big Show and Sheamus by DQ when Bray Wyatt interfered. This was a surprisingly good tag match to be the min event and Ambrose looked the best. Reigns and Ambrose got big pops and Ambrose hit an especially good looking DDT on Show. Reigns and Ambrose came back to clean house and end SmackDown.

I thought reading all the Raw comments you'd all be marking out but frankly it was rather depressing reading.

I agree the Rusev v Cena match should of been on Smackdown, although he wouldn't win anyway, so still nobody would watch it.

I was ecstatic at the women getting a this is awesome chant. I was like this is the greatest thing ever. Yea, they'll probably screw it up but who knows, maybe the NXT women will help the main roster women get better or they'll just get really jealous and political and make it material for Total.

Stardust getting the awkward, we can't boo you but we still hate this shit gimmick, response.

I was not a fan of the way Raw ended. It went on too long and I lost interest. It should of ended with Brock holding the belt over Seth but instead Brock disappeared and Seth was just awkwardly burying Kane... Does this mean Brock wins and we get a Kane v Seth feud with Kane changing to his mask again? I don't get it.

First off, I've been staying away from the forum for a little while until I caught up on Tough Enough. I didn't want any spoilers. So Grandmaster J, I did read your long description of the Cena/Cesaro match. I don't agree with your opinion, as I think most of your hatred comes from Cena being sloppy. And he is kind of sloppy at times, but I hold him to a different standard than the indy darlings. He's not a technical wrestler; he's the face of the company, and usually wrestles a slow, boring style. That's part of what makes this sudden run of great matches so special. I could never imagine people like Orton or Big Show putting on the types of matches Cena has been doing lately. Let alone the people who Cena is most accurately compared to; like Hogan and Rock. His ring work has been miles ahead of any of them. But all that being said; you did explain why you feel how you do and I did read it all so you shouldn't feel like it was a waste to write all that.

Speaking of Tough Enough, I like Sara Lee quite a bit. She's cute and unlike most of the other competitors, she actually has a likable personality and tries hard. Many of the others are wannabe fashion models or dumb muscleheads. I feel like this week was a smear campaign on Sara Lee; showing why she shouldn't be there, and it backfired.

I agree. As soon as Sasha came out I wondered why they couldn't just pair the 3 NXT girls together. She got stuck with Naomi, who botches all the time, and Tamina, who is an awful wrestler overall. Or better yet, bring all the 4 NXT girls (including Bayley) up and team them with Paige to feud with the "Bella army" (Bellas, Alicia, Tamina and Naomi). Still, it was awesome for what it was and it was great to see the NXT girls hit all their submission moves on the main roster divas at once.

Personally I think people are just too negative a lot of the time. Instead of enjoying things for what they are, they think of ways that it will probably be fucked up in the future.

Austin and Punk wrestled with staph, Ryback is being a sissy. I just accidentally aggravated a cut on my knuckle and acted like a sissy so I'll retract that lol.

I'm only bashing because he's screwing everything up for the game that I try not to take seriously lol.

Tough Enough was fairly mundane. The version I watched glitched out a few times so I missed some of Y2J firing up Sara and I must be going deaf because I couldn't really hear what Sara said to Paige so when everyone was like that is the best thing ever, I was left wondering what was so great about it. That Yeti guy I want to punch in the face. Stop doing that annoying whatever the fuck you call it. This isn't an audition for Star Wars.

Earlier this week on Raw, Intercontinental Champion Ryback sustained a right knee injury that will prevent him from competing and defending his title this weekend at Battleground.

UPDATE: WWE.com has learned that Ryback was diagnosed with a staph infection following Raw. He was admitted to a medical facility, where he is currently undergoing treatment. Though the infection is severe and will be keeping him out of action this Sunday, he is expected to make a full recovery in the coming weeks. The Intercontinental Champion tweeted the following about his condition:

Stay with WWE.com for additional details on Ryback’s condition.

For those making predictions on the Triple Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship at Battleground between Ryback, The Miz & Big Show, please refrain from talking about this match because it is off the card.

Either Virgil himself or a troll (Kinda hard to tell given that he's begged for money in the past) has a gofundme set up with the goal of a million dollars. The fundraiser you ask? "Help Virgil become the Million Dollar Man."
