At least John Cena didn't win and "bury" Ambrose like some people here claim will happen. It's WF, he probably buried Ambrose by not losing clean.

Look, don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly happy that we're getting Rollins/Ambrose in the cell. It had to happen. Anything less would have been a huge waste of a great feud, and one of the few bright spots they've got going right now. The way we got there, though, was just such a mess. To be honest, it's soured me on the match itself to some extent.
This whole Ambrose/Cena thing, to me, has to be one of the worst main event "feuds" in years. It was so forced and contrived to give Cena something to do, and everyone could see right through it. I give kudos to WWE for at least realizing how badly they booked themselves into a corner by scheduling the match for Hell in a Cell and promptly getting themselves out of it. Unfortunately, as a result, we get the most overdone match in modern wrestling history with absolutely nothing behind it. You thought their feud at the end of last year/beginning of this year was dull? Now they're fighting over nothing, and it's in a cell, AND they're even more stale now than they were then. Meanwhile, their big "Pay-Per-View main event on Raw" that they advertised all night turned out to be a joke. If you're going to commit to your awful storyline, at least let Cena and Ambrose go out there and tear the house down, because we know they could have. As usual, it's protect John Cena at all costs when he doesn't even need protecting.
Quite honestly, they should've done what needed to be done, paid for Lesnar and delivered Cena/Lesnar and Ambrose/Rollins, both in the cell, from the get go.
Again, it's great that we're getting the match and all, but WWE shouldn't just be let off the hook for horrible storytelling and bad television because we arrived back at the logical and desired destination. We still took a terribly long and muddy detour to get there.
The rest of the show was fine, with the exception of that Total Divas tag match. Brie gets the pin on Nikki in a meaningless six-person tag match on Raw? Are you kidding me? After all of this? Give me a break. They had something really great going with two divas feuds and both of them are dead in their tracks and dull as can be now.
Also, when did Ziggler become the competitive loss guy again? I thought he'd moved out of that role, but apparently not. Sure looks great to have your Intercontinental Champion beat cleanly two shows in a row by guys who aren't even interested in the title. So much for rebuilding that belt.

That's pretty great to see Rollins and Ambrose in the cell. The match should be awesome. But Ambrose's win on John Cena wasn't clean, so... But yeah Ambrose won! John Cena vs Orton....Again.... It should be pretty boring...

I'm shocked, it was a surprisingly good Raw after all. For the first time I sat through the whole show. I give the Raw a 8/10. Hopefully I can be entertained next week also.
