Ranking 10 Best WWE Raw Episodes Of 2015

4. December 14, 2015

The Highlights: After a lousy build-up, WWE's TLC pay-per-view was better than it had any right to be, and the aftermath on the subsequent edition of Raw was equally exceptional if not better. Mr. McMahon returned to WWE TV for the first time in over a year when he confronted Roman Reigns, who was fresh off his attack on Triple H, and granting him a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match against Sheamus in the main event. Despite having the odds stacked against him, Reigns laid out McMahon on the ring apron and put Sheamus away to clinch his second WWE title to the roar of the Philadelphia crowd. Philly was a fitting location to blow off the ruthless rivalry between the ECW Originals and The Wyatt Family, who soundly defeated the team of The Dudley Boyz, Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno in an electric Tables match. In other action, Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler contested an exciting matchup before Kevin Owens interfered. The Low Points: Although it wasn't the match wasn't horrendous, the crowd couldn't have cared less about Alberto Del Rio and Rusev vs. Jack Swagger and Rusev since neither feud was interesting. They made the most of the time they had, but it paled in comparison to everything else on the show. The segment involving The New Day, The Lucha Dragons and The Usos was fine at first, but it jumped the shark once the babyfaces attacked the heels for no apparent reason. It was a flat follow-up to what was an incredible Ladder match at TLC.
