Jason Jordan, rising star. Matt Hardy, crazed genius. Samoa Joe, badass prize fighter. Yes, yes, and yes. Add an intriguing women’s faction and a roster of talent on 205 Live who are looking to make an even bigger presence felt in 2018 – and you’ve got a great recipe for good wrestling product on RAW.

Over on the SmackDown side of things, KO and Sami Zayn are carrying the blue brand as we get closer to seeing Daniel Bryan make some moves…

For most of the last 30+ years of my life, I've been watching WWE. As a kid, Monday Night Raw hooked me from the start. From Bret Hart and Razor Ramon, to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, to CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.. I've witnessed the ups and downs and I'm proud to have enjoyed pro wrestling through the years.

Though I now watch in a much different fashion than I did when I was a kid (finding out Vince McMahon was the owner and Jack Tunney no more than a figurehead was like finding out Santa Claus did not exist), I feel like I have a much greater appreciation for the hard work pro wrestlers do and the things they sacrifice to entertain us.

It's still real to me, dammit!
