-Monday’s WWE Raw received a B grade with 40 percent of the vote in our weekly poll. A finished in second place with 34 percent of the vote. This ended the two week run where F and D were the top two vote getters. I gave Monday’s show a B+ for delivering especially big with the opening and closing segments.

-Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown received a majority vote of B as the letter grade with 40 percent of the vote. I gave the show an A- grade.
