Prime Moments and Takeaways

The 2-hour format of Uncooked is a welcome change from the elongated and largely pointless three-hour slog we’ve skilled each Monday night time for the final 12 years.

With that mentioned, it should take some time for Triple H and the inventive crew to seek out their stride as they utterly revamp the flagship present.

Time constraints harm a few of what they needed to do right here and it was apparent. How the crew navigates that one massive change, and tells as many tales involving as many Superstars as it may well, stays to be seen.

It wasn’t an ideal present, but it surely was a pleasant followup to Dangerous Blood.
