Whilst the bro was annoying, I can't knock the sentiment of the video. The crowd was terrible.
And to think they might never do Raw in Glasgow again because we were too good.
That's Pat McAfee, he's an ex NFL player for the Colts. He signed some sort of media contract last year with WWE.

I’ve only seen the highlight clips on YouTube...did Charlotte address the fact that Batista battered her father at the end of Raw at all?!

Nope, wasn’t mentioned at all. I couldn’t believe she came out looking so happy. Reminded me of John Cena whenever he lost and it meant nothing.
There was a lot of recapping on SD as well: a Kofi Kingston video package, a Black History Month video, Becky Lynch getting arrested, a couple of Ronda Rousey promos, including from RAW the prior night, and also Roman Reigns from RAW.
The brand split seems to have taken a back seat, which is biazare when you consider they’re doing a post Mania shake-up again. The Women’s tag titles, NXT superstars, and the McMahons are all on both shows.
RAW has no impact on the ratings either, with SD actually doing less than last week, and down 20% from 2018.

It feels weird they're doing the bait and switch with both the Raw Women's Championship match at 'Mania and the WWE Championship at FastLane, potentially 'Mania too. I seem to be in the minority, I think Owens and Bryan worked so well with Bryan's recent anti-consumerism promos, and Owen's Cinema promo (where he seemingly turned face and his son turned heel robbing his change
).
Undoubtedly SD and Raw have been better recently, less insufferable, but it feels like they've gone from trying to shove people we didn't want in our faces to going out of their way to insert people who are getting great reactions into title opportunities but without any real narrative strand. It feels like they're genuinely in panic mode.
