RAW 4/8: The night where the crowd thinks they are the show

Monday Night Raw
Date: April 8, 2019
Location: Barclays Center, New York City, New York
Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Renee Young

It’s the season premiere of the show and that means we’re in for something interesting tonight. Tonight is the night of big things happening, as we’ll be seeing a variety of people being called up and big stories going down, though a lot of it isn’t going to matter as we have the Superstar Shakeup next week. Let’s get to it.

I Know They Aren't That Tone Deaf

I'm sad they didn't use The Ascension to break up the Main Event, it would have made as much sense as what they did. I swear WWE Creative just smoke a joint, spin a wheel of dumbshit ideas and pick whatever.

Glad to see him though.

Correct.

Personally, I enjoyed the show last night. It had overall good energy, a few surprises, some solid wrestling and a couple of title matches. I thought the low point was the interference for the main event. Sure, we knew it was coming but why not use someone fresh rather than the Bar for God's sake? Use Sanity or members of the Undisputed Era or have Lars Sullivan come back out? Have Lacey Evans come out and do a striptease? Hell, just about anything would've worked out better.

It was weird for Taker to not be at WrestleMania this weekend, but I'm glad he popped up on Raw last night. I also dug the fact that he's showed off his more chiseled look, he's said to have lost around 30 lbs. thanks to something called Nutrition Solutions which, if I'm not mistaken, is another company that you order all your food from in which the meals are already proportioned out.
