The Teacher: Monday Night Raw is in the books for July 14th, and the battleground for Battleground is set. The biggest question is, Doc. . . Did you sign up for your free preview of WWE Network?
Doc Manson: Sadly, no. I’m already a subscriber. They sure don’t want anyone to forget that the WWE Network is a thing that you can pay money for down the road though.
T: The way they were going, I’m surprised Vince McMahon didn’t come to the ring, get down on his hands and knees and beg everyone to sign up.
D: That’s practically what John Cena did in the opening segment of RAW. Nothing like taking a time out from selling the current angle to sell the Network instead.
T: Yesterday we gave our State of the WWE, and at that time, you and I disagreed on our opinion of Roman Reigns’ personality. Having forced myself to watch the opening promo (a segment I usually fast forward through), I’ll have to admit I was wrong. Reigns does seem to be coming into his own on the mic, which is really the only thing keeping him from total stardom.
D: Stardom is headed to Roman Reigns, regardless of his work on the mic. He is improving, but is still green next to Cena and even Ambrose. Still, you can’t argue with the crowd. They are behind Reigns in a big, loud way.
T: Were you surprised Ambrose didn’t come out during the main event? I expected him to run out in a hospital gown and beat down Rollins with his IV bag.
