10 Live Observations From WWE Raw Live From Detroit

10. Battle Royal!

Raw kicked off with a battle royal to find a number one contender for Miz to fight at Battleground. Before the show came on the air, the contestants entered the ring, and then the Miz came out and said some stuff. Blah. But the only wrestler who got a proper introduction was Apollo Crews, which I thought was strange. Also, this place is packed. I don't see any open seats. Detroit brings it.

The match itself was solid, all things considered. It's sad to see Ziggler relegated to this, though. He's such a good worker, and I don't think he's ever been given a proper push. I don't know how much talent the WWE thinks they have, but when it comes to in-ring and on the mic, few are better than Ziggler.

There's no question Del Rio caught Goldust SOLID on the kick to the head that eliminated him. Jimmy and Jey went flying out. Crews and Baron Corbin over at the same time, and Darren Young wins it without having to do a thing. Weird ending. Side note: Could this be WWE's way of getting a major title on the first openly gay wrestler in history? It's absolutely news if it happens.
