Title This: WWE Raw Reaction 6-26

Psycho Sid def. Heath Slater

What I Liked:

Once again, I laugh at what Heath Slater has become. He interests me now a lot more than even two months ago. He can continue to be involved here just to be on TV. Sid looks to be in great shape, and the match was quick enough where it did not affect the overall production of the show.

What I Disliked:

I was a little shocked to see Vader do better than Sid considering their physique. It was okay, but when will we get legends that we all care about. I feel like we need to have some more interest in guys coming back. No big complaints here though, as it was what you expected.

Grade: C

Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler ends in No Contest

What I Liked:

You can slowly see Ziggler gain the positive cheers from the crowd. Many people want him to stay heel, but he is a tweener like Bryan right now. People are cheering him because he is good at what he does. The crowd is much more intelligent than years ago, and the "face" and "heel" characteristic is not as cut and dry as it used to be. The match was decent with a few nice moves, and Ziggler has the best dropkick in the business. Del Rio kept the pace up with kicks and very aggressive attacks on Ziggler in the ring. The contract was taken down, but both men does not have control of the contract. It gave more of a scramble, different than other ridiculous "pole" matches.

What I Disliked:

Sheamus announces that Smackdown will be a Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Why are they having this match on Smackdown? It would make much more sense to have one or both battle at Money in the Bank. We know nothing set in stone will happen on Smackdown. I did not like this call for a main event on Smackdown.

Grade: B-

AJ wins the Divas Battle Royal

What I Liked:

Damn, AJ looked great in the ring, along with all of the other Divas. I miss the days of bikini contests and more TV-14 storylines.

What I Disliked:

What was the point of this? Ah, that's right, there was none. At least we got to see some hot women in bathing suits. Vickie, especially.

Grade: C
