John Pollock and Wai Ting review WWE Raw from San Jose, California. [REVIEW STARTS AT 00:22:55]As the only two Canadians that watched Raw Monday, John & Wai discuss the quick turnaround until Stomping Grounds - It’s Time to Kick Ass and Take Names.

We had Seth Rollins take on Kevin Owens in the main event with Sami Zayn as the outside referee, Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins defended the Raw tag titles against The Revival and The Usos, a tragic edition of the Firefly Fun House, Bayley wrestling in her hometown (spoiler), Shane McMahon’s celebration, and the 24/7 geeks get stuck in an elevator.
