Monday RAW has come and gone. I watched the show and now I'm gonna give my opinion.
RAW started off with the Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle coming to the ring to address last week's match between Braun Strauman and Kane. In case you didn't know...that match ended in a double count-out with both men continuing to fight afterward. It was meant to determine who Brock Lesnar [the current WWE Universal Champion] would face at the Royal Rumble.
Kurt didn't really get much out before Braun Strowman and Kane both came out to make their cases. Not to mention the ever so popular (for what reason I don't know) Brock Lensar was also waiting to hear who his opponent would be at the Royal Rumble. But the two monstrous entities still held massive animosity towards each other and it was about to implode. To add even more gas to the fire the resident Walrus Paul Heyman decided to come out and bring his meat head with him. So what did Kurt do? He announced a triple threat match: Braun Strowman vs Brock Lesnar vs Kane at the royal rumble for WWE Universal Championship and then he got the hell outta dodge. Check the implosion of the announcement with all 3 competitors via WWE YouTube page:
Moving on...
Seth Rollins was set to face Samoa Joe. I'm gonna sideline for a second...
Ok..so there's this weird storyline between The Shield and Samoa Joe and they added in The Bar aka the Shower Rod.
Seth Rollins was set to face Samoa Joe. I'm gonna sideline for a second...
Ok..so there's this weird storyline between The Shield and Samoa Joe and they added in The Bar aka the Shower Rod.
This all started almost a month ago. Right before Survivor Series and the #Undersiege attack from SDLive which ultimately they ended up losing in the end for the second year in a row! Anyway, The Shower Rod brothers were able to capitalize on a distraction caused by the New Day making them 3-time tag team champions. Ever since then they've been rubbing it in Dean and Seth's face. But during that time Samoa Joe got injured and was out for a minute. Now with Joe gone, there was a hole no one was reeking havoc on the roster and when he came back he began to fulfill his role as a hornet's nest rattler.
Roman Reigns obtained the Intercontinental Championship and The Shield was stronger than ever. The Shield invoked their rematch clause and tried to attempt to regain them. But they were screwed by Samoa Joe and ultimately lost their opportunity to regain the belts. Since then its been a 3 on 3 and sometimes 3 on 2 assault. With baby bottle Jordan begging and pleading in the background for matches against these top men. Mainly Samoa Joe. It's a very annoying and weird storyline that I wish they would end ASAP.

Now back to Monday night...
Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe was the match but Jason Jordan came out and interjected himself into the match once again. He made it clear he respected the former WWE Champ but he wasn't going to be waiting around for his father to give him matches anymore. He was going to take what he wanted. As Seth TRIED to respond but was interrupted by Samoa Joe. Joe proposed Rollins and Jordan fight it out and then the winner can get knocked out by him.
Well, Kurt Angle accepted and changed the match despite the annoyance of Jordan. Jordan is like a nat. Constantly buzzing around and finding a reason to make himself relevant! But in the end, he just looks like a nuisance who has good performance in the ring but is boring to watch on the mic and as a superstar. Something has to give with Jordan because his storyline is going nowhere.
Rollins picks up the win by the way. But of Joe made it clear that this was about him and went on the attack! See the video above.
I will say this: This whole storyline is odd. With Samoa Joe, The Bar aka The Shower Rod, and The Shield and Jason Jordan. There are too many variables and no clear direction. It's very clear they had no idea how to bring Joe in. So they teamed him up with Sheamus and Cesaro a team that was already having a weird rivalry with 2 members of The Shield: Ambrose and Rollins. I'll explain that in another blog it'll my year assessment of the WWE. Anyway...
Ambrose Rollins and Jordan all went to Angle for a shot at Samoa Joe and The Shower Rod Bros. So the GM made a match the first main event of the night: 6 Man Tag - Ambrose, Rollins, and Jordan vs Joe, Sheamus, and Cesaro.
Moving on.....
Matt Hardy has finally been able to use his Broken Matt schtick from TNA. Well...sort of. Instead of Broken Matt, he's now known as Woken Matt. Same schtick different name. Its clear TNA was not about to have one of its most popular characters running around in the WWE. But clearly, they've found a way around that. Just like TNA found a way for Mr. Ken Kennedy to use his schtick aka "Mr. Anderson".
Matt Hardy lost to Bray Wyatt about 3 weeks ago. Decent match nothing to write home about but the key here was the end. Matt clearly was frustrated and therefore could not contain his emotions or his sanity. Having a complete meltdown in the middle of the ring Woken Matt was born. Light to Bray Wyatt's dark. I thought this was ingenious and I really had high hopes that it would work.
Matt and Bray haven't met in the ring since Woken Matt was born. Time is ticking and many fans, as well as myself, were anticipating these two forces meeting face to face! But it hasn't happened, they've just been trading thoughts for the last 2 weeks. They haven't really fought it out or came across each other to make it worthwhile. This so-called rivalry is a complete letdown. It started with Bray Wyatt cutting a promo and then Woken Matt would cut in during his promo and basically countered everything Wyatt said.
Alluding to a Great War between two powerful entities: The Light (Woken Matt) and the Dark (Bray Wyatt). These two haven't been in the ring or on tv in terms of live television in about 2 weeks. As I said they've been basically been trading speeches.
But this Monday Bray Wyatt addressed Matt Hardy and those that love him head on and proclaimed that the Great War must come to an end. Watch:

Not one to be upstaged Matt responded in his own "unique" way.
At some point, these two have to clash. I hope with all this damn buildup that Thing 1 and Thing 2 make it worthwhile.
Moving on...
Finn Balor made his weekly debut. I don't really understand what they're doing with Balor. But I honestly believe a battle with Balor and Miz should've happened rather this forced Shield reunion. Don't get me wrong I liked the Shield reuniting. But with Roman getting sidelined like that it made it feel lackluster. Same thing for Balor and Bray Wyatt. They had a good series going and then Wyatt got sick and couldn't perform. It took the wind out of Balor's sails and derailed Wyatt to the bottom of the barrel. I also I think they made a mistake by giving Roman the IC Championship right now. That could've happened at another time. Balor had the momentum and DEFINITELY needed to push! Just my opinion...ok back to the match.
Balor asked the GM for a match at against the Miztourage aka MizBitches. It was granted. And the match was underway. I'm going, to be honest, I was not interested in this match AT ALL. Balor is being used in a weird ass way and they should've let him and Samoa Joe battle it out for a minute if they weren't going to allow Balor to hold the IC Title. Then push Roman to be involved with the Universal Championship if you want him to be in the limelight (but I get it. they want to push the monster's narrative with the 3 behemoths of the WWE).
Anyway, the match was pretty lame but both of the MizBitches ended up being disqualified for continuing to fight after the ref counted.
While Balor was getting beatdown some music hits that sounds eerily similar to Ultimate Warrior's entrance music. I was sitting there like what the hell is going on. Then a wrestler I had only seen once on NXT: Hideo Itami entered the ring and helped Finn gain the upper hand. This was turned into a tag team match Balor and Itami vs The MizBitches. Balor and Itami picked up the win. Watch:
I don't have much info on Hideo Itami other than what I've heard via the RAW broadcast. Itami is going to be apart of 205 Live I'm interested to see how that works out.
Moving on...
Time to shine a light on the Cruiserweights division. It was the first main event match of the night. It was Cedric Alexander vs Drew Gulak to determine who would face Enzo Amore (or I like to call him Mighty Mouth) for the Cruiserweight Championship. I was rooting for Cedric Alexander. I have been a fan of his from the very beginning I think he's just an amazing in-ring competitor and anyone who gets in the ring with him instantly looks a thousand times better (similar to the way Aj Styles makes his opponents look great). Now originally it was Rich Swann who was set to take on Drew but due Rich's domestic and legal issues he's been placed on suspension indefinitely until the situation is rectified. So they had a new fatal four way and Cedric won replacing Rich for Monday's number one contender showdown.
Now that everyone is caught up...Cedric and Drew had a good match. And the Zo Train's commander and chief was at the announcer's table just yammering away. Talking over the announcers making it very difficult to focus on the match. Hey WWE, don't do that ish again alright. Its annoying enough to listen to Booker T with his shucky ducky quack quack and GoodT BS. Just let Zo talk when necessary, which isn't much. Meanwhile on Twitter Nia Jax told Zo to check his DM's. And we all tweeted and encouraged Zo to do so. All the while this match that was going on which was pretty good I must say. Hard hitting, high flying it was a damn good match. Gulak and Alexander have an amazing chemistry in the ring.
Anywho once Enzo got that DM he decided to go in the back and meet up with Nia. Instead of Gulak focusing on the task at hand. He stops and watches Zo leave which allows Alexander gets the drop on him. The match continues it goes tit for tat. Gulak goes on the top rope but he hesitates and gets hit with the Lumbar Check (which is a unique move btw. it's just a beautiful to see). Cedric picks up the win.
Meanwhile, Enzo is in the back sizing up Nia. And of course, Drew comes to apologize and talk to his leader about the loss. Nia scurries away and Enzo scolds Gulak for losing to Alexander.
Moving on...
2nd Main Event of the Night. The 6 Man Tag Team Match: Ambrose Rollins and Jordan vs Joe Sheamus and Cesaro. It was a good match. It started shakily with Jordan desperate to start the match. They got a good stride going trading blows and making it worthwhile to watch.
During this match, Dean got injured. Giving Seth (and the Ref) a minor distraction that allowed the Shower Rod bros to capitalize and pick up the win. Afterwards, Dean was being seen by WWE personnel and they were then attacked again by Joe and The Shower Rod Bros.
Dean Ambrose suffered a real injury. His tricep was completely torn from the bone according to doctors. He underwent successful surgery to reattach the muscle and has already begun rehab. If he's a freak of nature like John Cena expect to see him back in time for the Royal Rumble. But as of right now there is no timetable for his return and most people are not hopeful that he will be back in time for the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber or Wrestlemania.

GET WELL SOON DEAN AMBROSE
Moving On...
There were a couple filler matches one was to introduce The Revival back into the fold. The Revival has been injury prone since they came up from NXT. One of them got injured early on in their WWE debut and they were sidelined. Then they returned had little bouts with Cass and Enzo, Gallows and Anderson, Sheamus and Cesaro and the New Day when they were apart of RAW. But they got injured before they could get a proper shot at the title. Which at the time Sheamus and Cesaro were the title holders. They've been gone for quite some time. They were not apart of Wrestlemania, Summerslam, or Survivor Series so they have a lot of catching up to do!
The match was set Heath Slater and Rhyno vs The Revival and of course, The Revival won. It was pretty short nothing to write home about.
However, after the match was over the GM did give Heath and Rhyno a little pep talk. He told them they did great but they need to make a change in order to be successful. Rhyno caught the hint and knows exactly what to do to change the tide for the form SDLive Tag Team Champs. Heath Slater was confused and hesitant hollering about his kids and if it was going to hurt. Lmao, it was a funny segment and served its purpose I guess.
2nd filler match of the night was Asuka vs Alicia Fox. Asuka is undefeated and they've been pushing this angle ever since she relinquished the title on NXT due to an arm injury. She left NXT as the undefeated women's champion and will forever be revered as one of the greatest champions of all time.
Alicia and Asuka have had several matches over the past few weeks. They set it up like each contender is asking for these matches so they can be the one to give Asuka her first loss. It started with Dana Brooke and well she didn't fare too well. I give her an A for confidence but she was easy prey. Then we have crazy Foxy. 10-year vet and former divas champion. Personally, I hate her persona. Let me make this clear I don't hate her (from what I've seen on Total Divas in passing when she was on it she's really nice), cause I don't know her but her character is rather irritating. I hate it. This whole "crazy" ish worked for Aj Lee but on Alicia, it just looks ridiculous. It hasn't worked for her for YEARS. The WWE Universe usually doesn't know how to respond to her and most of the time you get boos, murmurs, or no reaction at all which is just sad. Either repackage Foxy into a strong competitor and give her some wrestling moves besides the northern lights suplex and a scissor kick or I'm out. Matter of fact I'm already out. Bye Bish...
Back to the Action.
Alicia Fox vs Asuka this match was not half bad. Both competitors performed well with each other. But midways through the match Asuka began to dominate. Asuka picks up the win.
Main Event of the night was set. Sasha Bayley and Mickie James vs Absolution.
Once again they've used a format that worked previously in the past and executed it poorly. There is no direction for Absolution other than letting everyone know Paige has returned and brought some new faces with her. Her heel character comes across as jealous and vindictive. As if the WWE and the WWE Universe has forgotten that she too was a part of the Women's Revolution. Which would work if there was some light at the end of this tunnel? There are no women's tag belts so that's out. Only one of you can be the women's champion. So I ask again what is the point of the faction? And if you bring up The MizBitches or any other male faction my rebuttal will be all those men have a chance at becoming respective champions on their own or as a team. Whereas the women's division is still be stifled by 40 women going after 3 belts one on each show. I'll delve further into this topic in a separate blog. Anyway, these two minions she has with her I honestly don't know anything about them. I've never seen before on NXT from the few times I've watched and I don't remember seeing them on the Mae Young Classic either, but I could be wrong. So if you know who these women are by all means give me the deets.
Anyway before the match could begin Elias decided to have an impromptu concert. But he was constantly interrupted by the competitors who were set to have a match during that time. And thank god for that. Honestly, I really like Elias and I think he's talented on the guitar and in the ring. But his singing is uh...not good and well I need to see something else. He's got a mean streak and I want to see him pursue a belt or have a decent rivalry with someone. But I don't care to hear him sing. It's like going to a concert and the artist asks you to sing the song for them. I mean I'm cool with singing along but Bish I paid $85 for the cheap seats got dammit YOU SING! LMAO, Basically what I'm saying I don't watch wrestling to watch a man sing a song to insult people and then MAYBE wrestle.

End of Night
Stephanie McMahon has already arrived and it's clear the Road to Wrestlemania is set to begin.
Main Event of the night was set. Sasha Bayley and Mickie James vs Absolution.

LMAO, Basically what I'm saying I don't watch wrestling to watch a man sing a song to insult people and then MAYBE wrestle.
This was a good match. They traded blows, fought on the outside, and battled to maintain control. But just when Sasha was about to pick up the win, the vultures swooped in and changed the game. They had already taken out Mickie and Bayley so Absolution focused on Sasha. But then...well take a look:
As the beatdown continued, Nia Jax came out and for a minute Absolution was dominated. But the numbers game took her ou too. Then the whole roster came down and it was a rumble in the ring. Until the Queen of WWE Stephanie McMahon came down and shocked the entire women's division and WWE Universe. Check it out:
In case you didn't watch: THE ROYAL RUMBLE WILL MAKE HISTORY AND HAVE THE FIRST EVER WOMEN'S ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH. THIS IS MONUMENTAL AND IT WAS AN AWESOME ANNOUNCEMENT!
Final thoughts:
Raw was ok. It has its moments where I muted the tv but it kept my attention for the better part of the show. The best part of the night for me Cedric becoming #1 Contender, the Women's Royal Rumble announcement, Braun Kane and Lesnar, and the women's 6 man tag match until it broke down.
I will say this. To make this division more viable you need rivalries. Alexa Bliss hasn't wrestled on RAW since Survivor Series. She hasn't built up a new rivalry with anyone. It looked like Paige and her minions were going after her too but they kept on Sasha Bayley Mickie Asuka and Alicia Fox. I want some rivalries with these women beyond the belt. Make the division worthwhile.
Same for the men. Sometimes a battle for supremacy is just what the doctor ordered. A belt doesn't have to be involved for it to be great. Find a way to incorporate the guys in a rivalry that works for them. Making great matches and great rivalries.
That is all for now, until next time...
