WWE RAW 26th August, 2013: Superstars of the Show

Monday Night Raw saw some really great moments. It had storyline developments and it maintains the frenzy around the dictatorship and heel tactics of Triple H. It was very high on intensity, even in the Divas division. Here are, who I thought, the shining stars of the show. In that particular order

I wasn’t expecting such an awesome promo even when AJ initially started to speak. Actually, it was kind of apt to put the usually short, carnival of colors and grunts and avoidable drama that is the diva matches.  I’m glad the promo followed that stupid match and Michael Cole getting prematurely high about Jojo’s ring announcing skills. This was so much better than her ‘crazy chick’ shtick. It was powerful and entertaining. She was saying things that in REALITY was really felt about the Total Divas reality show, and most of its divas in particular.

With that promo, AJ refused to be overlooked and sidestepped by the brouhaha surrounding the Total Divas. It was so intense and makes you do nothing but take her seriously. The ‘Chuck Taylor shoes’ line was classic.
