WWE Raw Final Grade: B-

A lot of good wrestling and some good backstage promos couldn’t save this Raw from some truly horrendous moments and an underwhelming series of WWE Draft announcements.

Match of the Night: The Viking Raiders vs. Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode

Squeaking just ahead of the rest of the night’s action, The Viking Raiders defeat of Ziggler and Roode takes match of the night. While there wasn’t a bad match, this one stood out amongst the pack.

Highlight of the Night: Street Profits interacting with The O.C.

Easily, the highlight of the night goes to both times we saw Street Profits. In both their initial segment where The O.C. attacked, and their one later hyping a mystery partner, captured the attention more than anything else on this episode. It’ll be exciting to see this rivalry grow.
