Jim Ross Blogs About Dean Ambrose, New Day, Payback Main Event, Bret Hart, This Week's Raw

Jim Ross posted a new blog on his website praising this week's booking decisions on Raw, and offering up some advice to New Day. Here are the highlights:

Dean Ambrose going to Payback:

"I like the fact that Dean Ambrose returns to more relevancy as he's now in the main event of Payback along with Seth Rollins, Randy Orton and Roman Reigns in a WWE Title bout that will feature the three former members of The Shield which speaks well to the productivity of WWE NXT. I'd love to see this be an elimination rules four way, but it's likely to be a traditional Fatal Four Way where the first man to score a pin or submission is declared the winner, which means that the WWE Title holder has no championship advantage and cannot retain the title via disqualification or count out. These bouts can be feast or famine but have the potential to provide adequate drama in the expected Payback show closer."

New Day as heels:

"Hopeful that New Day really studies some of the great wresting villain groups IE the Freebirds and others to begin to acquire the traits that will propel them to the next level. Opportunity is here for these three and with out of ring preparation and study they can become much more valuable to WWE as they are already easy to dislike which bodes well for antagonists. I'm much more encouraged by their current positioning than them being fan favorites but they need to learn a variety of villain nuances."

Bret Hart introducing Sami Zayn:

"The utilization of Bret Hart in Montreal was spot on as he gave Sami Zayn a magnificent "rub." Zayn and John Cena had an excellent presentation that the fans genuinely cared about and it seemingly suspended the audience's disbelief and the fans emotionally invested in their home towner who made his RAW debut. Good booking."

Ross would go on to talk about the return of Tamina, ESPN's E:60 presentation, and Lana's rumored push. You can read his entire blog at this link.
