I could always say that Rey Mysterio and Gran Metalik had a good match. But that would be like saying that the sun rises in the east because we know that there are tonnes of performers sitting on the sidelines who could all have good matches if they're given the opportunity to do so.
My central grouse with this is that Rey Mysterio's big comeback did not lead to anything. It was just another match, and even something as simple as Dominick Mysterio coming to the ring with Rey would have been much better.

But this was a by-the-numbers affair, a clash between two luchadors, where the crowd popped for the 619. Where are the compelling storylines that WWE used to write, that drew us in as fans long ago?
It almost feels like every episode of RAW is now a Live Event with some storylines thrown in.
