Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for May 1st and Night Two of the WWE Draft, a draft that Triple H told us would truly "change the game". He is left wondering how exactly the game has changed as it was a largely predictable event that re-arranged some of the furniture, but as always, it all falls back on how seriously they treat the brand split. Hidden behind the draft was a terribly boring episode of Raw that did little to excite heading into Backlash.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
