Raw Tonight was the first episode coming out of Backlash on Saturday, and it was the kind of episode that if you were to wait until tomorrow and you were to watch the highlights that they put up on their YouTube channel, you could be through this show in 10 minutes and really not miss anything significant.

Raw Tonight was nothing of any great importance.

Nothing that happened on this show was of any real great significance.

We did get a hell of a main event, though, with Ria Ripley and E.O. Sky taking on Julia and Roxanne Perez.

And Julia got to main event her very first episode of Raw in her very first in-ring appearance on raw, which was pretty cool, even though she lost.

And they teased tension between Ria and Eo when the match was over.

Both of them were locking eyes, locked eyes on the championship, so still teasing some

issues between the two of them.

AJ Stiles and Finn Ballard, they had what was only the fourth match, singles match that they've ever had together.

Fine match on the show.

Nothing you need to go out of your way to see.

A common theme on the show tonight was how dead this crowd was.

They were in Louisville, Kentucky tonight.

And it was pretty much the story with every

match or damn near every match on the show uh where the crowd was just very very quiet and didn't

seem to really be particularly interested in anything outside of the entrances and uh you know kind of

key moments like that.

Because what do they have?

I mean, they had, like, what, 10 or 11,000 people, I think, in the building tonight.

And if you were watching this show, you would never really know it.

You know, just watching the show was, really this show was deader than Boston's chances

of winning three straight against the Knicks.
