"#GiveDivasAChance": Monday Night RAW (7/14/15)

This is it. This is the the go home show for Raw and Smack Down! before Battleground this Sunday. This was a slightly better Raw from last week with only 3 major highlights:

The women of NXT - Becky Lynch, Charlotte, and Sasha Banks - officially made their main roster debut (Charlotte's match with Natalya apparently doesn't count). Becky and Charlotte joined Paige while Sasha joined Naomi and Tamina and created new 3-women stables among the Divas to take on Team Bella. Their debut was suppose to happen after Summerslam and shortly after Nikki beat AJ's title reign, but the sudden change of plans proved to be a great payoff to Paige's storyline on wanting Divas to stand up against Team Bella. This segment would've been better if Stephanie McMahon didn't shoehorn herself in :/

Rusev vs Kevin Owens vc Cesaro was so entertaining! Cesaro continues to be freaking impressive. Owens continues to be an awful heel. And Rusev is back in form and getting much better on the mic. Rusev won the match after pinning Cesaro (Owens angrily walked out towards the end of the match) and he immediately went into John Cena's US Open Challenge. Of course, Owens came back to take out Rusev and Cena and declaring that he'll take his title at Battleground.

And... well... Rollins being a chicken-shit heel. The contract signing went awry (because of course it did) when Heyman and Lesnar discovered a concealed ax handle underneath the table, which was Kane's plan?? Anyways, Lesnar took out Kane by slamming one of the steel stairs unto Kane's ankle. After Heyman and Lesnar left, Rollins cut an angry and vicious promo and vowed to burn Suplex City to the ground. He even turned against Kane and curbstomped stepped on his already injured leg. Heyman said it best that everyone wants to see Rollins gets his ass kicked this Sunday.

The rest of Raw was... ok. There were 2 matches that bothered me.

Neville vs Stardust should've generated more excitement (Seriously, look at that graphic!) but it didn't. This was Stardust's long-awaited return since Dusty Rhodes' passing. The crowd was so dead quiet for this match. It's not because the match was boring, it's just the fact that the crowd has been conditioned to only get excited for Neville matches when he does the Red Arrow as his finisher. And it's such a shame because Neville is so athletic and entertaining but the crowd just can't get into him unless he does flippy shit. Not only that, they accidentally played Neville's theme when Stardust won. If there's one good thing coming out of this, it's the return of Stardust going after "Arrow" actor Stephen Amell again.

The most baffling "match" was Ambrose vs Wyatt, which didn't happen at all because Reigns showed up after Wyatt's entrance ended and beat the hell out of him. Ambrose literally just sat out of this match! Wyatt hit Reigns back with his lantern and then the screen abruptly cut to black. That was it! I know I said I shouldn't get upset with how Ambrose is being booked again since there's a bunch of new storylines going on and being developed but there was no point to include him. Why didn't they make the match betweeb Reigns and Wyatt since they have a match in Battleground? Ambrose and Wyatt's entrances were longer than the "match" itself!
