1) RAW Kicked Off With A Something Rare: A Match
This weeks episode of Monday Night RAW featured a big opening match: John Cena took on Jason Jordan. This came after Jordan requested the match to his father: Kurt Angle prior to RAW going on the air.
The thing of surprise to many fans was that RAW actually opened with a match instead of a promo segment. 9 out of 10 times, RAW seems to open with some sort of promo. This week we got straight to business.
Wow, Monday Night #RAW is opening the show with a wrestling match, not people talking
Revolutionary

2) Jason Jordan Seems To Be Missing Something
It has been several weeks since Jason Jordan was revealed as the son of Kurt Angle. The storyline hasn’t exactly been a success so far. I am not sure what the problem is, but it seems that Jason Jordan is missing something.
There is no question that Jordan is a great athlete, but something isn’t clicking with him and the fans haven’t bought into him yet. Maybe that will change, we will have to wait and see:
Jason Jordan is an incredible talent, no doubting that. He’s just missing something that I can’t put my finger on. #RAW

Still waiting for Jordan to give us that “IT” factor that Dad has in the ring otherwise it will fall as flat as Hornswoggle/Vince

3) The Crowd Was VERY Behind John Cena
The crowd in Omaha, Nebraska was VERY pro-Cena on RAW this week. There were a lot more “Let’s go Cena” chants than “Cena Sucks”, which WWE fans know isn’t usually the case. Cena would go on to defeat Jason Jordan in the opening match.
It was a surprise (at least to me) to hear such a positive reaction to Cena. Did his promo last week do wonders, or is this just because we are in Omaha?
Is it me or is the crowd super excited to see Cena tonight???

Can’t remember the last time @JohnCena had the majority of a Live crowd fully behind him!#RAW
