This was probably the best Raw I've watched in a while. Rey vs. Penta was a banger and the main event was really good. I wasn't big on Rollins winning King of the Ring so I'm glad they gave Evans the W. That said, what are the chances of Dom winning the whole thing and Raquel winning Queen of the Ring, resulting in Liv becoming jealous and thus leading to Raquel vs. Liv at SummerSlam? I'd say chances are pretty low but you never know.

The only low point of the show was the LA Knight promo and it's a shame that Knight is so directionless. First, he had a never ending feud with the Vision and now he's basically Drew McIntyre 2.0 holding a grudge with the Bloodline even though Roman doesn't give a shit about him. And listen, I love Penta, he's a great Intercontinental Champion, putting on bangers on weekly basis but Knight should be IC Champion right now. Imagine the feuds and matches with the likes of Ethan Page, Rusev, Theory over the title. Hell, Punk isn't doing anything right now, how about a short summer feud with a match at SummerSlam to help elevate Knight and keep him fresh? Literally anything other than getting involved in the Bloodline shitshow.

On the bright side, Chad Gable is on fire right now. I don't know if this face turn is a ruse leading to him taking the IC Title off Penta or he's legit a good guy now, but they should really pull the trigger on him to get a big push. It's now or never. The guy is great in the ring, he's great with a mic and the people love him. Push Gable! So we can turn on him later when we find someone else to root for.
