5) John Cena Pulled Out A New Move
During the match between Rollins and Cena, we saw a pretty unique move. Cena pulled out a ‘Stunner’ variation that I can’t say that I have ever seen before.
Here is the video:

6) Two Lengthy Matches Took Up The Entire First Hour (Plus) Of RAW
In something that we don’t often see, the first two matches of the night took up the entire first hour of RAW. We don’t often see long matches on RAW, especially not to open the show.
I thought that it was a really great change of pace and the matches were fun.
This #GauntletMatch is without a doubt a test run by WWE to see if they can hold their audience during a long stretch of just flat out good wrestling. #RAW

Can we just go ahead and have an hour+ long match open RAW every week? That would be neato. #RAW

7) Seth Rollins Had An INCREDIBLE Performance On RAW
Seth Rollins wrestled for over an hour on RAW this week in the gauntlet match. He picked up impressive wins against Roman Reigns and John Cena. He was eventually eliminated by Elias.
One hell of a performance from Seth. A really awesome showcase of not only his cardio but his skill inside of the ring.
Tonight is the night I fell in love with Seth Rollins again.

8) Almost TWO Hours Of Wrestling Kicked Off RAW
Remember what I said earlier about there being only wrestling in the first hour? Well, the gauntlet match continued for the majority of the second hour.
WOW! Two hours of straight wrestling kicked off the show (and it was awesome).
2 hours of solid wrestling. This has been so great! #gaunletmatch #Raw

Can’t believe this match is pushing 2 hours. It’s awesome WWE is letting this play out however #RAW
