Good wrestling, Dirty Dom's heel work save Raw from dropping the ball on Vision and world title.
WWE came into Monday night with two major objectives for Raw: have The Vision explain their actions from last week, and determine the future of the World Heavyweight Championship.
They did both, but WWE managed to stumble through both of these main goals, with the explanation more or less consisting of “Seth Rollins is a bum whose shoulder gave out and his time has passed,” and the world title picture coming into focus so rapidly that fans won’t have much time to really bask in it.
The decision to hold a battle royal to determine one of the title match participants was – as Raw GM Adam Pearce noted – an old-school idea. But the battle royal was a collection of guys who stood no chance and just two potential serious finalists to face CM Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
