RAW 5/19/14 (Hulu edition):

1. Creepy Bray Wyatt is creepy even in England. And that's an amazing promo with the whole crowd in his hands.
2. Cena with a cheap shot AA on Bray from behind.
3. Ryback is an interesting character. That box promo... He's so odd.
4. Big E defeats Ryback in a pretty solid beat-the-clock challenge--except for when Big E fell when he slipped out of...powerbomb? Whatever. Time to beat is 5:02.
5. Fandango v. R-Truth doesn't happen because Summer Rae takes out Layla. Umm...yeah.
6. Steffie with some "bad news!" *Laugh* Yeah, you strip Daniel Bryan of the title belts, and stick will go down a lot more than 50%.
7. RVD beats the clock by 47 seconds (!) and AdR in a o match. Blah. Time to beat is now 4:15.
8. Nice shiner, Roman. I think it's gonna take more than that to put Roman out of commission. (It's nice that he's getting better on the microphone.)
9. Once again Cena announces that he needs the help of others on the roster. Poor guy. I know people are tired of his schtick, but it's going to take a lot more than boos to get rid of him when he's still selling the most merchandise of anyone on the roster.
10. Triple H as guest ring announcer? Orton as guest timekeeper?
11. One good turn deserves another. Dean and Roman as guest commentators? Oh, please let Dean talk crazy!
12. It's funny listening to someone out-JBL Layfield, but Dean Ambrose can do it.
13. It's always a slow match when Batista is in control, but Rollins has been injecting just enough excitement to make the match bearable.
14. Is it just me, or does Batista look a more than a bit like Eugene with the start of that beard?
15. It's a melee. Oh, I'm overwhelmed with shock. Rollins get the DQ win and the Shield comes out on top. With Batista due to take time off, is this feud going to continue after Payback?
16. Ziggler v. Mark Henry in a beat-the-clock match? Almost have to be a squash match to beat this clock. And if anyone is going to get squashed, you can be sure it will be Dolph getting squashed.
17. How on earth did Dolph hit the Famouser on Mark Henry? That's insane!
18. ZIG ZAG! But it's too late! RVD wins the beat-the-clock challenge. That means Barrett will win at Payback. Hope it's a good match.
19. Barrett with BAD NEWS for RVD: a blindsided Bullhammer! Love the hometown crowd getting behind the heel!
20. Don't sully that sweet blossom Renee Young with that Russel Brand wannabe. Ugh! BRING BACK LEO KRUGER!!!
21. WE...THE PEOPLE!!! Love how the crowd is singing Swagger's music too. Zeb Coulter, PLEASE SAVE US FROM ADAM ROSE!!!!!!
22. Ugh. That's five minutes of my life I'll never get back.
23. From Adam Rose to a Bo Dallas promo vid. Strike two.
24. Time for Cena v. Harper. This will be a nice quiet match, no interference, no shenanigans. Right? of course right.
25. I love watching Cena get faceplanted by Harper. It's so...primal. And what's with Harper doing real wrestling moves like a hurricanrana? And a dropkick? Geez!
26. It would be nice Cena were to really sell someone's moves. Really. Not even Hogan could survive everything.
27. Both Usos meet Sister Abigail!
28. If they would just let one of these Cena v. Wyatt family matches reach a natural conclusion... *Sigh* Maybe at Payback? Please?
29. And who knew Luke Harper could count that high?!?

Average show. Nothing to get too excited about as the push toward Payback continues.


 Not on hulu:
1. No Cesaro v. Sheamus, but they wasted time on Adam Rose?
2. No Heath Slater v. Rusev is no skin off my nose.
3. No Alicia Fox v. Paige, which I would like to have seen over Summer Rae's return.
