WWE: Its Time for Monday Night RAW!

RAW kicked off with a Gauntlet Match with all 7 members of the Men's Division Elimination Chamber! No monologues, no talking just STRAIGHT FIRE! Now, this is what I've been talking about!!!!!

Matches

Men's Division: Gauntlet Match  

1st Match: Rollins vs Reigns
Winner: Seth Rollins

2 Former Members of the Shield. 2 men who know each other extremely well. This match started off slow. A lot of groundwork and headlocks. It slowly started to pick up. Roman got kicked in the stomach and wasn't feeling it all. But who would? I mean I've been accidentally hit in the stomach for real and I can tell you that ish feels like everything you ever have eaten is rotten in your stomach and your stomach is like HELL NAWL OUT BISH OUT! LMAO Anyway Roman raised up quick on Seth and they faced off. Now its back to Roman's pace. Groundwork, purposefully slowing Rollins down. When this match picked up it was awesome. Superman punches, dives, powerbombs on the turnbuckle and a possible curb stomp. Reigns and Rollins roll each other up. But Rollins got the roll-up for the win.

2nd Match: Rollins vs Cena
Winner: Seth Rollins

Rollins was READY ain't no waiting! Took out Cena before he could even get his gear off! LMAO Went in for the pin but Cena kicked out. Rollins has to hit hard and fast to end this. John Cena is one of those guys who can go for at least 30 to 45 minutes (hey hey get your minds out of the gutter you know exactly what I mean LMAO).

Yo, this MATCH WAS BOMB!!!!! IT WAS FUCKING BOMB!!!! Seth Rollins hit Cena with his own AA and Cena still kicked out. Rollins had to hit Cena with a curb stomp to end this EPIC MATCH! IT WAS EPIC!

3rd Match: Rollins vs Elias
Winner: Elias

Elias came out trying to get the drop on Seth several times but still, Seth kicked out. Elias is dangerous. He is trying to destroy Rollins' knee. It is brutal. Elias hits the Driftway and takes down Seth. Seth was in the ring for an hour against two of the biggest stars in the WWE. He really put forth a massive effort to win this gauntlet. Hats off Kingslayer! Classic Matches! That was 100% amazing.

Side Note: This match had been going on for an hour and 10 minutes. In 60 minutes Seth Rollins has been in 3 matches! He was absolutely spectacular!

4th Match: Elias vs Balor
Winner: Balor

Balor and Elias' match slowed down the Gauntlet. It turned into a normal match. Elias kept the tempo slow which in my eyes made it boring. Despite the fact that Balor did everything he could to speed things up. He picks up the win with a Coup de Grace. Love that move I wish he would do his old move from NXT. 1916 I believe he called it. Ah, I loved that finisher.

5th Match: The Miz vs Balor
Winner: THE MIZ

The Miz uses his MizBitches to distract and take out Finn Balor. Finn Balor and The Miz had a decent match until Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel got involved. They cost Balor the match. Violently pulling Balor's arm down over the top rope and distracting the ref. Gave Miz the win. But only to succumb to the monster among men. The final entrant in the gauntlet BRAUN STROWMAN LMAO

6th Match: The Miz vs Braun Strowman
Winner: Braun Strowman

This was THE MOST SATISFYING MATCH OF THE NIGHT. NO NEED FOR THE ASMR OR SLIME VIDEOS. Just watch this over and over and you'll be fine. You'll sleep like a baby I promise. LMAO anyway, the match a slaughtering of The Miz and his MizBitches. Truly a satisfying ending to the chamber gauntlet match. I highly recommend you watch the highlights!

Tag Team Division: The Bar vs Titus Worldwide
Winner: Titus Worldwide

To make this less drawn out and boring Titus Worldwide won the match. It was interesting to me the way they won and every time they beat The Bar its always on a fluke. This is the 3rd or 4th time The Bar has been pinned by Titus and Apollo.

Women's Division: 6 Woman Tag Team Match - Bayley, Sasha Banks, & Mickie James vs Absolution & Alexa Bliss
Winner: Bayley, Sasha Banks, & Mickie James

I gotta be honest...I didn't care for this match. It had been done so many times with the same people over and over did really matter who won? Sasha picked up the win for her team. Only to be attacked by the two members of Absolution. Alexa gets attacked but Mickie saves her. Leaving it up to the audience to speculate if there will be teams to look for in the chamber? Or is it truly every woman for herself?  

In Other News 

The Participants of the Chamber Speak on their Chances & Their Performances in the Gauntlet Match

John had a somber answer to Renee's questions. He basically said that he is juggling so much and he just needs to focus. For the 1st time in 14 years (I believe not sure) John Cena does not have a clear path to WrestleMania. And now it's becoming clear he may not make it. It's time to focus.

Seth made it clear that his wins over John Cena and Roman Reigns mean nothing if he doesn't win the Elimination Chamber. His performance was amazing I loved it every minute of it. He truly is #MrMondayNight and could very well be #MrEliminationChamber.

Finn made it clear that he was coming after The Miz in the Chamber. He would get his revenge and win the Chamber to face Lesnar.

Elias says he'll come in 7th, pick up the scraps, win the chamber and go on to beat Lesnar to show the world what WWE really stands for.

Ronda Rousey Gets a Spotlight before Signing her WWE contract at the Chamber

I'm all for Ronda Rousey getting her shine. I love her. I think she's an amazing athlete with a cool personality. But what is the point of the contract signing at Elimination Chamber? What happened? Did you not build up enough rivalries for the show? Or are you pushing Rousey so you can hype up her appearance even more?! Honestly strange but its WWE pretty much everything they do is strange. I also am curious about how Rousey will be used. She is pretty much a silent killer when it comes to her personality. No disrespect but she doesn't come across like The Miz and ZacI don't know how that will translate into the WWE. Ronda doesn't seem to act well. WWE is the ultimate Improv stage. She has been thrust into a world where thinking on your feet and being smart enough to react when the timing is right is a must. Plus your personality must shine through at all costs. It's the very reason why a lot of people who do make it don't stay in the WWE. But if Roman can break out of his shell become one of the biggest stars to date in the WWE. I'm confident that Ronda will find her niche. Whether she be face or heel. Although I'd like to see her break out in a heel persona. 

Asuka Sends a Message and Nia Responds

Asuka was interviewed about this Sunday's Elimination Chamber. The possibilities of her opponent Wrestlemania and her pending match at Elimination Chamber against Nia Jax. After Asuka pushed through with her answer which was basically that Asuka will not lose, she will win. Nia attempted to attack from behind. But Asuka caught it. She would be taken out eventually. Nia Jax just got the drop on her and took her out. Solidifying her point that on Sunday she's going to break the precious streak of Asuka.

The Women were an After Thought

I'm sorry but this ending SUCKED! THIS MATCH SUCKED IT JUST COMPLETELY SUCKED! This match had been done so many freaking times the only new thing was Alexa Bliss. And real talk she could've kept her little behind in the back! Keep it G!
There was no reason for this to happen other than hyping the elimination chamber match. Which great awesome I'm all for it but maybe if WWE hadn't played this out so many freaking times it wouldn't seem like I'm watching the same damn raw for the last 2 months. I feel like this should've been in the middle of the show before that amazing gauntlet match. 

Bray Wyatt & Matt Hardy are Still Locked in Battle...Somewhat

The only way this match will make sense to you is if you go back and watch RAW from a few months ago. This has no place on the docket. I would rather they put the Miz and Finn Balor in a match at the chamber for the Intercontinental Championship. And have these two in the chamber. I'm just keeping it real. No shade to Balor because he deserves a shot and no shade to the Miz because he deserves a shot too. But honestly, do you really want to watch a 5 to 10-minute match between Wyatt and Hardy, Darkness and Light?! I mean really? No, My G, you don't. You want to watch something worthwhile and that ain't it. They tried it didn't work it's over let's move on. 

Final Thoughts

All in all, RAW was GREAT! I thoroughly enjoyed it until the final match. I hope this chamber match is worth the risk they took ending RAW the way they did. It just didn't give it anything to the finale of the show. Nor did it make me excited about the women's match. SMDH lets hope these women put on a stellar performance in the 1st ever women's elimination chamber match. It going to be brutal. 

Until Next Time Folks...I bid you adieu!
