Prior to Raw 25 yesterday, WWE stars such as The Hardy Boyz, Sasha Banks, Finn Balor and John Cena, who has granted over 550 wishes, gathered at the Hard Rock Café New York in Times Square to meet with Make-A-Wish kids.
WWE’s Community website has posted the following quote to the kids from Stephanie McMahon, who was also present at the event along with Triple H:
“You are the most important part of what we do. WWE’s mission is to put smiles on people’s faces the world over. When we have the opportunity to meet kids like you and to see the smiles on your faces, that’s just about the best present we could ever receive.”

WWE Network Star Not Happy with Raw 25 at Manhattan Center
As noted, numerous fans in attendance for Raw 25 last night at the Manhattan Center were upset with the amount of downtime between segments, and chants of “refund” and “bulls**t” could be heard at times.
Frank The Clown, star of the WWE Network show “Holy Foley” was seated ringside for last night’s WWE Raw 25 at The Manhattan Center, and has Tweeted the following reactions.
Final #RAW25 thoughts:
The 2 venue format should die.
I know MANY people who paid upwards of $1000 to be at Manhattan Center with sky high expectations.
Don’t have 1 venue sit for 90 minutes watching a TV.
I had fun of course, but it could have & should have been far better.

Fans should not have to pay $835 (face value for ringside at Manhattan Center) for a vague show description only to be given 3 televised segments in 3 hours & 2 total matches when the show was promoted as so much more.
Poorly executed, @WWE.
