Incredible show leading up to MITB, however if I had to change anything I would rather of had some more woman matches, some promos, and feuds to the Women's Championship for MITB, but we've yet to see anything for the Women's Championship, but hopefully we'll see that soon. But other then that tonight's Raw was so much better than last week, and I look forward to MITB.
