Hey, friend O, Steve here.

And welcome back to going in raw, the only pro wrestling podcast you need to be listening to.

On today's episode, we're taking the whole weekend of WWE main roster content, and we're going to give

you a review of it all, all of it, starting with the Monday Night Raw review, which saw

I tried to find an angle to take on it. Like, I posed you the question. Road dog's gone. Why is Smackdown still boring? And here's the the thing it's funny because right after that I was
