John Pollock & Wai Ting review WWE Raw that featured playgrounds, Dirt Sheets, imposters, and facial burns.

[00:07:45] NEWS OF THE DAY:

• WrestleMania Dates & Locations for 2021, 2022 & 2023
• IMPACT Hard to Kill
• Max Holloway vs. Calvin Kattar
• Early UFC star Paul Varelans passes away

[00:31:24] Raw was a mess. Randy Orton channelled Tim Woods to deal with his facial burns and responded to the fireball attack last week. We had a heated race for the Worst Segment of the Year between Alexa’s Playground and The Dirt Sheet. Nia Jax can’t get along with Shayna Baszler, Cedric Alexander can’t get along with Shelton Benjamin, Elias can’t get along with Jaxson Ryker. The best thing on this show was the ending between AJ Styles and Ricochet.
