WWE Raw: The Payback Go-Home Season 25, Ep 33
After a WrestleMania that rose above low expectations and an unexplained Superstar Shakeup, we slide into two of the most holding-pattern PPVs WWE Network events that ever held a pattern: PayBackLash. The Raw version will feature two crossover matches and two undefended belts. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Royal Rumble Go-Home Season 25, Ep 21
Finally, six weeks after the last time we gathered, it's time for what is generally the most fun show of the year, with the added bonus that the Rumble winner is less apparent than it has been for a long, long time. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Roadblock: End of the Line Go-Home Season 25, Ep 15
The lesser brand has been stepping it up as of late, so of course we're going into a PPV so low-tier that it's recycling a name from earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Smackdown Live! has been tearing it up as usual, coming off a better-than-it-shoulda-been TLC PPV that ended with all four title belts around the waists of heels, including Alexa Bliss and the Wyorts. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Survivor Series Go-Home Season 25, Ep 11
The reunion of the brands we've been waiting for since, I dunno, July I guess? Anyway, it's Raw vs. SmackDown Live up and down the four-hour (ugggh) card, with only one McMahon bigfooting his way in. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Hell in a Cell Go-Home Season 25, Ep 8
We're ready to go for the most over-the-top (sometimes literally) gimmick PPV, with a ridiculous three matches in The Demonic Structure. And the theoretical go-home show gave us little development for it. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The SummerSlam Go-Home Season 24, Ep 49
The bifurcated brand comes back together for the granduncle of them all, the last combined PPV until Survivor Series. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Money in the Bank Go-Home Season 24, Ep 40
The brand split approacheth, Brock Lesnar draws headlines for going back to UFC again, but before all that, we've got this month's PPV, top-loaded with talent and what the announcers insist on telling us over and over again are WrestleMania-level main events.
After seeing virtually every mathematically possible combination of the six (Wait, six? Yeah, six.) competitors in the MitB match, it's finally time for what Michael Cole has been hyping as the greatest MitB card of all time, complete with a blatant teasing of a Shield triple-threat to close out the night, [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Payback Go-Home Season 24, Ep 33
Raw was a decent enough go-home, propelled largely by one of the better storylines in a while. So we're ready for perhaps the most dispensable PPV on the schedule, but a couple of compelling matchups and questions are making it work. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Royal Rumble Go-Home Season 24, Ep 19
Well... that happened. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The TLC Go-Home Season 24, Ep 13
The downward spiral of Raw continues with a white-hot start -- fatal four-way four-man-team elimination match featuring the League of Nations vs. the Wyatt Family vs. the ECW Originals (Dudleys and Dreamer and RHYNO) vs. the Family (which is apparently what they're calling Reigns and Ambrose and the Usos despite the Wyatt Family being a thing already) -- that goes all right, but then nothing much else good happens other than the New Day and Sasha Banks but we knew that already. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Survivor Series Go-Home Season 24, Ep 10
We have our predictable semi-final World Heavyweight Championship brackets. We have the Brothers of Destruction predictably making the Wyatts look like punks. We have Charlotte and Paige predictably turning a contract signing into a fight. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Hell in a Cell Go-Home Season 24, Ep 6
Austin! Taker! Lesnar! Malenko! Finlay! Michaels! Flair! SHIELD REUNION! [more inside]
WWE Raw: Season Premiere / Night of Champions Go-Home Season 24, Ep 1
This year's "season premiere" features the Authority trying to get a New Day bump, Kevin Owens giving Ryback shit over reading The Secret, a Dusty Finish for a fairly good Divas title match, and the first ever Sting match on Raw. Against the Big Show. Who he wrestled roughly a million times on Nitro. No wonder it turned into a tag match with John Cena and Seth Rollins. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The SummerSlam Go-Home Season 23, Ep 51
The granduncle of them all is here, with an expanded running time, a big name guest host, and huuuge matches (Donald Trump not included). [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Battleground Go-Home Season 23, Ep 46
ContractSigningMania runs wild as Brrrock Lllesnarrr and Seth Rollins make their WWE Championship match offi-- Oh, who cares? NXT WOMEN INVADE. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The One Between Extreme Rules and King of the Ring Season 23, Ep 35
Wait... King of the Ring?
Yep, that's right. After an underwhelming Extreme Rules that saw one title change and little plot movement, suddenly Raw hosts the quarterfinals of an eight-man KotR tourney, to finish live on the WWE Network the next day.
WWE Raw: The WrestleMania Go-Home Season 23, Ep 30
The card is set. The stars are aligned. The Granddaddy Of Them All is just a few days away, and WWE has managed to put together a fairly compelling WrestleMania card almost despite themselves. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Road to WrestleMania Season 23, Ep 24
It's been a few weeks since the last Raw post, and we've been through the Rumble and NXT Takeover: Rival. [more inside]
WWE Raw: Survivor Series Fallout Season 23, Ep 12
The Authority is out, an icon is in, and a world champion makes his triumphant return to... well, not the ring, but at least he's back in the arena. [more inside]
WWE Raw: The Hell in a Cell Go-Home Show Season 23, Ep 7
Cena v. Orton becomes a #1 contender match. Rusev tries desperately to ignite his feud with the Big Show. AJ and Paige try to inject some drama into their fourth straight PPV match. [more inside]

Triple H announces who will face John Cena at SummerSlam.
WWE Raw
*takes deep breath* Okay, this is at least my third time suggesting this. I promise it will be the last. Professional wrestling, particularly the WWE product, has a few fans here on MetaFilter, and the last few FPPs that were more focused on the actual product drew dozens of comments from more than two dozen MeFites who are clearly regular viewers. There are lots of shows on FanFare that draw many fewer commenters, and there are shows that are non-narrative (Cosmos, Last Week Tonight). [more inside]
