WWE Raw: The Payback Go-Home  Season 25, Episode 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, Episode 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, Episode 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.

WWE Raw: The Survivor Series Go-Home  Season 25, Episode 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, Episode 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 Battleground Go-Home  Season 24, Episode 45

WWE Raw: The Money in the Bank Go-Home  Season 24, Episode 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 Extreme Rules Go-Home  Season 24, Episode 36

Has it only been three weeks since Payback? I guess so. Since then, we've seen the breakup of C-list faction the League of Nations, a battle royal to determine the #1 contender for the C-list US title, the annual round of C-list firings, and no movement whatsoever on the main storylines (okay, except for the advent of the NewDayLorean). You have to give credit to them for ending the go-home with a women's feud, at least. [more inside]

WWE Raw: The Payback Go-Home  Season 24, Episode 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 Fastlane Go-Home  Season 24, Episode 23

Okay, so Raw has been on an upswing lately. And this one was pretty good too, with a hot Fatal Fiveway for the Intercontinental title to start, buildup for an Ambrose-Reigns schism, and the Wyatt Family weirdly ending the show by running away from Ryback, Kane, and the Big Show. [more inside]

WWE Raw: The TLC Go-Home  Season 24, Episode 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.

WWE Raw: The Survivor Series Go-Home  Season 24, Episode 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: Season Premiere / Night of Champions Go-Home  Season 24, Episode 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 One Between Extreme Rules and King of the Ring  Season 23, Episode 35
