Monday Night RAW Recap

April 30, 2018 Monday Night RAW , RAW 0 Comments

LAST WEEK ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW

Kurt Kicked off the Show with the First Aspect of the Superstar Shakeup

Kurt announced the superstar shakeup but was interrupted before he could finish. Interrupted by the first pick of the shakeup...Jinder Mahal. An underwhelming pick for the superstar shakeup but of course he came out in true villain fashion.
Making demands and bitching. He claims he wants the same treatment Brock Lesnar has received.

Angle made it clear that attitudes like this won't fly on Monday Night Raw. He then gave Mahal his first match on RAW as the US Champ. Jeff Hardy vs Jinder Mahal. Jinder ended up losing making Jeff Hardy the new US Champion. All it took was a Twist of Fate and a Swanton Bomb for Jeff to become a grand slam champion.

Sasha and Bayley almost had a Moment Until...

Started out to be a good match between the two new rivals. Sasha had the Bank Statement locked in and Bayley either would have eventually passed out or tapped. But the weak ass Riott Squad was drafted to RAW and decided to do their typical song and dance. Attack in a pack mentality and assert their pseudo dominance. They went after both Sasha and Bayley taking them out. Which announced their switch to RAW. As annoying as they were on SDLive I can just about imagine what they'll be like on RAW.

AOP has their Debut Match 

For the second time, it was AOP vs Rhyno & Slater. This time there was a little bit fight in Rhyno and Slater but it still wasn't enough to defeat AOP. They are the next dominate group to look out for.

Semi-Finals of the Tag Team Eliminator: The Revival vs Woken Matt & Bray Wyatt
Stipulation: The Winner will face The Bar at the Greatest Royal Rumble for RAW Tag Team Championship

Well, The Revival put on a good match. They fought hard against Matt and Bray but ultimately team woken bested the tag team. Honestly I...just let's just say its a decent match.

Ember Moon has her RAW debut vs Mickie James

Ember Moon had her debut match on RAW in a match against Mickie James. The newly crowned RAW women's champ was there and the former champ was supposed to be there but she declined. Claiming Nia was a bully and she didn't want to risk her opportunity to face the champ again at Backlash. So she stayed in the back where she was "safe". Ember put on an amazing performance. I really like her heel or face. I like her she's just awesome and her finisher is in my top 5 hands down an awesome finisher! Ember Moon defeated Mickie James.

Natalya makes her RAW debut and Faces Mandy Rose. 

Natalya defeated Mandy Rose and got attacked. And then Ronda Rousey to aid the former champ.

The Miz announced the newest addition to RAW Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

The Miz had a segment where he was set to announce another new RAW "superstar". And it was Kevin and Sami. The GM came out oblivious to the fact that the Commissioner had signed them. And was embarrassed because the Miz and Kevin and Sami were notified but not him. But Kurt had a trick up his sleeve. The Miz had no idea that he was traded for another SDLive superstar and wouldn't know until the end of the night who they traded for. The Miz and the Miz alone was going to the RAW brand. The MizTourage Axel and Dallas are staying on RAW. It was his final match on the RAW brand. He was headed back to SDLive to set up a potential battle and I for one am here for it bish. The match was set up Ten Man Tag Team Match: Kevin Owens Sami Zayn The Miz & MizTourage vs Braun Strowman Bobby Lashley Finn Balor Seth Rollins & Bobby Roode. A match the Miz and his team ultimately lost.

Samoa Joe & Roman Reigns have another Encounter

Once again Roman had a single segment to talk. Then, Samoa Joe, This fool Samoa Joe put together a powerpoint presentation and everything! LMAO, I can't.

RAW Acquired Several Superstars in the Shakeup

Kevin Owens
Sami Zayn
Breezango (Fashion Police)
Riott Squad
Natalya
Dolph Ziggler
Drew McIntyre (NXT)
Baron Corbin
Bobby Roode
AOP (NXT)
Ember Moon (NXT)
Bobby Lashley
Ronda Rousey
No Way Jose (NXT)

Monday Night RAW RECAP April 9, 2018

April 16, 2018 Monday Night RAW , RAW 0 Comments


Stephanie McMahon kicks off the show and the crowd is just unapologetically SAVAGE! They showed her no mercy. I did feel a little bit bad for old Pee Pee Pants but the crowd had no sympathy none whatsoever! I mean she came out there limping and her arm in a brace. But she still was bragging about how Ronda turned out a great performance because of her. She felt like because she did such job pushing her to her limit, Ronda then in turn put on an amazing show and it was all because of Pee Pee Pants McMahon.



Steph called out Ronda Rousey to congratulate her and sing her praises. Ronda came down to an amazing reception and of course, Stephanie began to praise her as the newest ass kicking prize of the WWE. She congratulated her and admitted the truth. The Billion Dollar Princess lost fair and square. And then she began the same selling pitch as before, with WWE behind her she could become the next face of the company.

Ronda's reaction was to smile and appear to be receptive to her advances. Stephanie asked to hug it out. She did and then she put her in the armbar. Lol, she took that woman's brace off and rolled her arm back. If it wasn't real it looked real. Stephanie was writhing in agony. And then just like that, the segment was over.


Matches

Women's Division: Nia Jax and Ember Moon vs Alexa Bliss and Mickie James
Winner: Nia Jax and Ember Moon


Alexa decided to take a tactic out of most beaten bullies books and turn the blame on Nia Jax. Bat-Mite claimed Nia was the biggest bully and that she always covered for her. She said that no one is Nia's friend and that her attack on Mickie James left her distraught and that's why she lost the title at WrestleMania. She demanded an apology for the vicious attack on poor Mickie. But Nia wasn't budging. She let her rant until she got fed up and straight told her to shut up. She announced that she did have a partner and her name is EMBER MOON! When that woman came out the crowd went bananas. Ember is going to be FIRE! Let's hope they don't water her down too much!

The match was good from start to finish. Both sides performed beautifully but this was about Ember. Ember came ready to put on a show. She made her presence felt!

Tag Team Eliminator Match 1: Winner Faces The Bar at GRR on April 27th
The Revival vs The Good Bros (Gallows and Anderson)
Winner: The Revival


Good match. The Revival picked up the win. One mistake by Anderson he didn't keep up with the tags so he knew who was legal and who wasn't. All in all a decent match between two of the best tag teams they have to offer on RAW right now.

Men's Division: (Former NXT) No Way Jose vs Local Talent John Skylar
Winner: No Way Jose



Well, No Way Jose has the same gimmick of his previous counterparts: Adam Rose, The Godfather, etc. It's okay. Nothing amazing but a solid gimmick. He is extremely high energy and just a ball of fun. When the bell rang though he performed beautifully. I really like his in-ring capability. The fun and games are cool but I'm really curious to see what he's capable of. But only time will tell. This gimmick didn't work well for Adam Rose it lasted for a bit and then the WWE Universe got annoyed. However, we shall see.

Women's Division: Sasha Banks vs Mandy Rose
Winner: Mandy Rose


This match started strange Absolution came out together with their "manager" Paige. Mandy Rose was set to wrestle Sasha Banks who came out alone. As you all know recently Sasha and Bayley have been on the outs. And it's clear they haven't resolved anything. But before the match could begin Bayley came out. Came on the ring apron and went in the ring for her entrance. Then appeared to be in Sasha's corner. This was a MASSIVE mistake. For weeks now Absolution has been capitalizing on the issues of these former best friends. It happened a few weeks ago, it happened last week, and this week as well. Now during the match, Mandy pushed Bayley and Bayley reacted. But instead of hitting Mandy she ended up knocking out Sasha and leaving. Sasha got beat because of Bayley's interference. The building anger and betrayal between these two is going to clash in a match tonight. Hmmm isn't the first part of the superstar shakeup tonight 😏?

Tag Team Division: AOP (Authors of Pain) vs Heath Slater & Rhyno
Winner: AOP


Clearly, Slater and Rhyno have been getting paid well to job aka losing every match they've been in lately. But they did make a valid point. They were the 1st ever SDLive tag team champions and do deserve some level of respect. Some level, lmao. But they made the challenge and got an answer in the form of AOP. A vicious tag team who was coming off the heels of an amazing match at NXT Takeover New Orleans. If you hadn't seen it you definitely need to go watch it. It's absolutely amazing!

AOP decimated Slater and Rhyno. The Authors of Pain were brought to the main roster and they did not disappoint. However, after their win over Rhyno and Slater, they dropped their manager. They literally left him by the ring and celebrated their win on their own. Essentially telling him we no longer need you and will be taking this venture on our own. They said all this without saying a word.

Tag Team Eliminator: Woken Matt & Bray Wyatt vs Titus WorldwideWinner: Woken Matt & Bray Wyatt



Um yeah, this was hilariously a decent match. The best part was when Apollo displays his athleticism. Matt applauded him and so did Bray who was the legal man at the time. They applauded the audience applauded and so did Titus Worldwide. Which allowed the distraction and a straight up ass whooping ensued. Titus Worldwide tried to defend but the Woken era has begun and it went straight through Titus worldwide. Woken Matt and Bray Wyatt advance to the finals. 

 Tonight it will be Woken Matt & Bray Wyatt vs The Revival to decide who will face The Bar on April 27th at the Greatest Royal Rumble Event.

Men's Division: Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn (BEST MATCH OF THE NIGHTStipulation: Winner Gets a Contract to be a Raw SuperstarWinner: Double Count Out 



For me, this was the best match of the night. As much shit as I give Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn I do love their in-ring work. It was a hard fought match and I enjoyed every minute of it. However, it ended with both men down unable to answer a 10 count. So it was ruled a double count out. Neither man would be getting a contract. But they may change with the superstar shakeup.

I think both men will get a contract on different shows. It's time to split them up and have been become big pieces of opposing brands. Sami has proven he can do it. Villain, Hero or Anti-Hero they need to be on separate show building rivalries and making these shows fun to watch. 

Men's Division: Seth Rollins Finn Balor & Jeff Hardy aka Bro. Nero vs The Miz and The MizTourage
Winner: Seth Rollins Finn Balor & Jeff Hardy aka Bro. Nero



Miz was not in a good mood tonight and it showed. But Seth Finn and Jeff were and they were on point tonight. They worked well together. Similar styles similar strengths and for once it didn't clash. They played well off of each other and it showed that with the right people in the ring you can have an amazing performance. The Miz and the MizTourage put up a good fight but they were no match for Seth Finn and Jeff. Rollins team won and ended the match each performing their signature moves: Curb Stomp (my favorite of the set), Coup de Grace, and Swanton Bomb on Axel and Dallas. It was a cool way to close the show.

In OTHER News


SUPERSTAR SHAKEUP WAS ANNOUNCED A 2-DAY EVENT! TOMORROW AND TUESDAY

The question is how are they going to "shake things up"? Who's going to SDLive? Whose moving to RAW? We will find out starting on RAW and ending with SDLive!


BRAUN RELINQUISHES THE TAG TEAM TITLES


At WrestleMania 34 as I previously blogged about. Nicholas (Son of a WWE Executive. Hey I found this out on the internet. It never sleeps people are always looking lurking and searching) and Braun had to relinquish the titles because Nick could not defend them. Besides he is 10 and cannot miss school. LMAO.


Well in true Bar fashion. They show up looking for a handout. And when Kurt refuses they get all huffy of course. But he does have a plan. Since they current title holders cant defend and have relinquished the belts there is no one to challenge to regain the belts. So a tag team eliminator tournament was created. With the 4 tag teams competing to compete for a shot at the titles. The winner will be decided tonight and they will go on to face Cesaro and Sheamus aka The Bar at the GRR Event on April 27th.

THE MIZ INTERRUPTS SETH "FREAKING" ROLLINS' GRAND SLAM MOMENT


Well on the heels of WrestleMania 34 Seth Freaking Rollins has declared his return and was extremely hype. He and his shield brethren have all held every single title the men's division can hold in the WWE. They are now all in an elite class called the Grand Slam champions.

Well, Finn Balor interrupted and came out to "congratulate" the new IC Champion. But he made it clear at WM 34 he wasn't pinned the previous title holder was. And he wanted to be the first person to challenge Rollins for that belt.

Interestingly enough Miz had an issue with that. And of course, he went apeshit about the bromance between Balor and Rollins. He had to explain how his family has suffered because of his loss. How his wife and newborn daughter cried. This was the most pathetic I've ever seen Miz. Using your newborn daughter for a storyline is messed up. This led to a banter between the three men and eventually a battle that got Jeff Hardy out there to even the odds a bit. Of course, the cowards backed away. So Angle made a match for later on in the night, a 6 Man Tag Team match.

BAYLEY COSTS SASHA A MATCH



For weeks now these two have been trading blows, pissing each other off, and further drifting apart. As I explained before Bayley cost Sasha this match and now they will square off tonight. I think this will be Sasha's final match on Raw. I think she will be moved in the Superstar shakeup to give the Women's division on Smackdown some more depth.

PAIGE ANNOUNCES HER IN-RING RETIREMENT


Months ago it was reported that Paige suffered another neck injury at a dark show and she was no longer cleared to compete. But the WWE never made an official announcement and neither did Paige. They pretended for months as if Paige diminished her role in Absolution to a Manager. She gave a speech and placed a t-shirt in the ring before heading the to top of the stage to take her final bow.

Paige was essential to the women's division. One of the first NXT brought ups and helped change the game for women in this sport making it more about their skill rather than their bodies and sexuality. I loved Paige as a wrestler and I'm sad that she can no longer compete but there is life outside of the WWE and within it (commentator, Manager, General Manager 😜). She has her whole life ahead of her to explore that role. 

Bobby Lashley RETURNS!


Bobby Lashley has signed back with the WWE and has been speculated to make his debut for months now. They waited until after WrestleMania 34 to pit him against Elias whom he decimated. It was light work for Lashley. I'm curious how he will fit on RAW or maybe...they'll move him to Smackdown the shakeup. Who knows where he'll end up?

Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn Show Up on RAW Begging for a Job


Well well well Barney Rubble and Dancing Sami show up on RAW begging for a spot. Of course, the GM had some fun with them. Classic line "I hear TNA is hiring". Real Talk I hear TNA is looking for new tv spots. Very soon TNA will be no more and Vince will have crushed another Wrestling organization unless they pick up Dolph Ziggler. If they do and let him be the face they could turn things around. But that is a long shot. Anyway after explaining to the 2 goons that there was room for only 1 other member. This pitted them against each and other and led to a match that was very good and interesting to watch.

Roman Reigns Speaks on His Match at WrestleMania 34 and Samoa Joe Returns to Respond



Roman made an appearance battered and bruised, sporting a huge knot on his forehead. Roman was not in the best of moods. But he did show up for work which is counterpart Lesnar did not 😒, per the usual. However as Roman began to speak about how disrespected he was once again. Learning of Lesnar's new contract and his impending match in a few weeks with the man that busted him open, only served to piss him off. He claimed he learned of all these changes just as everyone else did on the internet.

Well, his rant only lasted for a few minutes for Samoa Joe came out to the kick the man while he was down. He claimed Roman was full of nothing but empty promises and once Lesnar was through with him he was going to finish the job at BackLash.

Joe made those same empty promises several months back. And he didn't even have a legitimate gripe for his fight. He just wanted to prove he could beat Lesnar and he failed miserably. He got taken to Suplex City and then got injured in a separate match months later. He's been out ever since. So who's the liar really? If your ass can make those same claims and spew a bunch of bullshit that you believe in then why cant Roman do the same? In reality, Roman didn't make excuses for the match he explained how he is being railroaded and forced to face Lesnar again. Joe did his job though poking and prodding a seemingly broken man.

The last time Joe and Reigns met it was a good match. And honestly made for great tv. Joe is a great heel. He provides the perfect amount of wit and in-ring talent. He's a formidable foe for anybody.

OVERALL


It was an interesting show. Great call-ups for NXT and good spots for new rivalries as well as old rivalries to begin. Tonight's show is going to be interesting. I can't wait to see how this shakeup goes. I hope its awesome.

Until Next Time Folks...

IT'S WRESTLEMANIA PREDICTION TIME! WHO YOU GOT?! FOUND OUT MY PREDICTIONS...

April 08, 2018 Monday Night RAW , RAW 0 Comments

Wrestlemania 34 is literally right around the corner and I AM HYPED BRO! HYPED!!!!! 😬
Anyway, the match card has been announced and after the absolutely GLORIOUS hype its time to predict the winners of the matches and who will kick off WWE's year with a BANG! Let's fight this out here are my predictions for Wrestlemania 34.

Wrestlemania 34 KICK-OFF Show Matches


Women's Division Battle Royal: Entire Locker Room
Winner: Sonya Deville


Well since this is the first women's battle royal I believe it will come down to Becky Lynch, Bayley, Sasha, and Sonya Deville.  My pick is Sonya Deville. She looks to be the one who is up next. 

Men's Division Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal: Entire Locker Room
Winner: Uh...I honestly don't care. 


To be honest this match isn't something I'm looking forward to. Most people believe winning this match is a curse. Mojo won it and went from being a beloved WWE superstar to a wannabe arrogant bad guy. He seems to a shell of himself. He's dry and boring. Previously it was Baron Corbin and it gave him a little boost. He became a champion, a money in the bank winner, and he's not half in the ring or on the mic. But he lost his money in the bank shot to John Cena (the first person to ever warn his opponent of using his MIB contract and then lose BTW it was to CM Punk). Anyway, there isn't a great track record for the winner. I'm starting to realize that this match is so that everyone who enters can have somewhat of a Wrestlemania moment. But truthfully does it matter who wins this match?

Men's Division Cruiserweight Championship Tournament Finals: Mustafa Ali vs Cedric Alexander
Winner: Cedric Alexander


I am so BIAS on this match. And I don't care who knows it. I love Cedric Alexander and I believe it's his time. Whether he's a face or heel I need and want him to win! So Good Luck Ced. Your my pick and I'm confident you'll win!

Wrestlemania 34 Matches


The United States Championship Fatal 4 Way: Jinder Mahal vs Rusev vs Bobby Roode vs Randy Orton (c)
Winner: Jinder Mahal 


I have a strong NAGGING feeling that Jinder will once again hold the title and have yet another irrelevant title run. Jinder is just not good at being a heel. He's not believable. I don't believe the things he says his facial expressions, his mannerisms I don't believe anything about his persona. He bores me. But the WWE believes in him enough to continue to put him in positions to be a top guy or a quality mid-card wrestler. Either way, I just have a sneaking feeling that he will steal this championship and walk out of Wrestlemania US Champ. Once again we'll have to listen to his annoying diatribe. I'm from India, you don't like me because of it, I'm rich you're not, I'm better you're not, I'm the modern day Maharaja. 😒 Great...💆

Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat Match: Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor vs The Mz (c)
Winner: The Miz


I think this will be one of the best matches of the night. But I don't think the Miz will have anything to do with it. No Shade. I'm just saying. You got 2 of the greatest performers of our time in there Seth Rollins (Mr. Monday Night RAW) and Finn Balor. This is going to be epic. Now if I'm wrong (which I don't think I am), I can see Finn Balor picking up the win and holding the title for the first time. The rumor mill is that Miz is taking a hiatus to spend time with his newborn daughter. And if the rumors are true I can see Finn winning the championship. However, I'm sticking with my pick.

SDLive Tag Team Championship Triple Threat: The New Day vs The Bludgeon Bros. vs The Usos (c)
Winner: The Bludgeon Bros. 


The Usos have MADE the tag team division along with The New Day for the last year. I would love to see them retain and then fight against The Bludgeon Bros one on one. But I don't see that happening anytime soon. So the Bludgeon Bros will have a title reign and the tag team division will go down on SDLive just as it went down on RAW.

RAW Tag Team Championship Match: The Bar vs Braun Strowman &?
Winner: Braun Strowman &?


The Bar have run their course on RAW. Just as the New Day did. So what better way to go out than to lose your belts at Wrestlemania to the Monster Among Men and his surprise partner. So I'm going for Braun. I think this will be a fun surprise at mania and I can't wait to see how it plays out.

Smackdown Live Women's Championship Match: Asuka vs Charlotte (c)
Winner: Asuka


This is a telling sign that WWE wants to put Asuka at the forefront of the Women's Division. For a while now Charlotte was leading and now they've shifted to Asuka. I have no doubt that Charlotte will definitely put forth an amazing effort and pull out an amazing performance. But I don't think she will win this one. All the promoting of Asuka streak they are doing and with Asuka not losing any matches it makes it difficult to foresee charlotte pulling out of this victorious. Which is unfortunate for Charlotte because she deserves better than that!

RAW Womens Championship: Alexa Bliss (c) vs Nia Jax
Winner: Nia Jax


I am 100% confident that Nia will win. If she doesn't then it's clear that the WWE isn't as committed to progression as they claim. Nia is a viable champion. She's worthy of that belt and its time for some New Blood! Alexa has run her course as the champion on both brands. I'm tired of watching her little ass prance around with that belt and not defending it and always finding some way to weasel her way out of competing. I want Nia to win. And if she doesn't then I quit watching any women's division matches on any brand of the WWE. And I mean that!

WWE Championship: Shinsuke Nakamura vs Aj Styles (c)
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura


This will be the highlight of the evening! The WWE definitely missed the mark on this rivalry and old bad blood between these two competitors. Styles and Nakamura are two of the best performers the WWE has to offer. And despite being railroaded in their promotion and storyline I expect this match to be absolutely amazing!

WWE Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns
Winner: Roman Reigns


I know most of you aren't fans of Roman. But you gotta be ok with Brock losing this belt. I mean he needs to be gone RIGHT NOW! So if Roman is the guy for now then so be it. I like Roman and I have no issues with him being apart of this. Brock needs to go and then we can have true competition.

Mixed Match: Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle vs Triple H & Stephanie McMahon
Winner: Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle


Listen I'm gonna be honest (note I know I say that a lot but I feel the need to say it lol) I don't care about this match that much. Real talk this could've been resolved on Monday Night Raw. This was not Wrestlemania worthy for me. I love Ronda I think her coming to the WWE is going to be an awesome move. However, she's extremely green. She's horrible at selling injuries, she just makes it look fake. Despite the fact that it is a choreographed sport she has got to do better at making it look real. That takes time. Time Rousey didn't get which will not work out in her favor. However, it would not be lucrative to introduce her to the WWE Universe and bring in her fanbase just to have her lose on the grandest stage of them all. To me, that's just not good business. Now if we're just looking at face value, Triple H doesn't have a good track record at Wrestlemania lately. He's lost his last 2 matches at Wrestlemania. So my vote is going to Rousey.

Tag Team Match: Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan vs Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
Winner: Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan


This one is probably the most emotional match of the night. Daniel Bryan has not been able to wrestle in 2 years. His first match back isn't going to be an easy one. But I expect Daniel and Shane to fight through and win this. For the Yes Movement and of course for the in-ring return of Daniel Bryan.

WWE: Monday Night RAW RECAP!

April 03, 2018 Monday Night RAW , RAW 0 Comments

I know I know its been MORE THAN A WHILE since I've posted. But I have a good reason, uh yeah I lied I really don't but I'm posting now that's all that matters right? Look I'm working on it!


2 Weeks Ago on RAW...

Raw was...eventful

Brock takes the coward approach and attacked Roman while handcuffed. Roman called out the so-called champ and was almost arrested by the "US Marshalls" however 

Bayley made it known to Sasha how she felt about her "betrayal" at Elimination Chamber and how she could never forgive her. At least she alluded to it and never said it. She acted like a child about it and honestly it was sad and eye roll worthy. 

Braun still going at it alone in the battle for the tag team belts. Although he seems to be going alone the tag team champs are anxious to know who his partner will be at Wrestlemania. 

Titus Worldwide got another chance to job again against The Revival. Yawn...the revival bores me. They need another tag team that is on their technically but better in the persona dept to work. I thought WWE was going to allow them to rival the Good Bros, Gallows and Anderson. But alas they ended that before it can even start. Which made me sad because that was something I really wanted to see.

The Miz & MizTourage vs Finn Balor & Gallows/Anderson (aka Balor Club) was ok. The best part was the end. When all 3 men were in the ring. 

Asuka continued her streak while Alexa Bliss continued to taunt and berate Nia Jax. This should culminate in a big come up for Nia as Alexa is pummeled into the mat. I am going love this! I can't wait.

Cena continues to attempt his Wrestlemania moment. At this point, I'm tired of hearing about it and I don't want to see it. Apparently, Undertaker doesn't care nor does he want to be involved with Wrestlemania anymore. So Cena's taunts, cries, and pleas are falling on deaf ears.

Bray Wyatt vs Matt Hard in the ULTIMATE DELETION match. This was by far the most bizarre, hilarious, coolest thing I've ever seen. There is no way to explain what was demonstrated, you have to go to WWE youtube page and watch it for yourself. 

Last Week on RAW...



Brock Lesnar beat down a pre-injured Roman Reigns again. It was predictable and absolutely boring. Nothing else for me to say about it.

Bayley and Sasha had it out. Bayley was snippy and kiddy once again and Sasha well she had enough of her holier than thou attitude. They battled it out in the back area and it took refs to break them up. This would've been a perfect setup for a singles match at Wrestlemania. But WWE decided to keep them in the Battle Royal for women.

Nia Jax got to get her hands on Mickie James this week. After she won Alexa tried to sneak attack but ended up running away. Girl...just give her the belt on Sunday. At least you won't get yo ass whooped on the grandest stage of them all...again!

Cruiserweights got some action on the "A" Show. Uh..yea it was a solid match. With the final competitors teaming up with each other before their battle at WrestleMania.

The Miz setup Balor and Rollins for an assault. It was very transparent and typical Miz. However, Balor and Rollins played it up beautifully. Just note that the Miz will retain that belt past WrestleMania and become the longest reigning Intercontinental champion of all time.  A slot he rightfully earned.

Asuka was put up against a local no-name wrestler. She had spunk but was literally kicked down in .2 seconds. Match Over Streak Continues!

Braun went up against the other half of the tag team champs and won. I love this schtick with Strowman. No, he doesn't need a partner and I think it would be even more interesting to see how this will play out if he doesn't have a partner. He'll be first and only WWE superstar to ever hold the titles as a singles competitor. That would definitely be better than the Big Show showing up as his partner.

Rousey was offered a spot in Absolution but declined before she took out Deville and Rose by her lonesome. Interesting. I think WWE made a mistake by not putting Rousey in a match before Wrestlemania. She needs the training and exposure. This could be really good or really bad at WrestleMania. We just have to wait and see.

Miztourage and Gallows and Anderson had a match....moving on.

Elias had a match...moving on

Cena's match vs Kane...sigh...why just freaking why? Undertaker shouldn't come back and Cena just needs to move on and continue making movies. I mean at this point Cena looks desperate pathetic and just sad.

This Week on RAW


Team Rousey vs Team McMahon opened the show with a sitdown showdown in the middle of the ring. Handled by Jonathan Coachman. Both sides were asked questions by Coachman that the WWE Universe has asked via Twitter.


It wasn't a bad segment. It was ok. Rousey is clearly flubbing a lot but so did Roman. Pair her up with Road Dogg Jessie James for a while and she'll get the hang of it just like Roman did. Anyway, they both made solid points and Stephanie was viciously attacking Ronda on her UFC loss and how she dealt with it. If that'd been me I would've shaken the table on that hoe instantly! I can't stand a power GREEDY ARROGANT TRUST FUND BABY who hasn't experienced anything her precious father hasn't given her. The segment went back and forth and it ended with a stare down between Rousey and McMahon. Kurt got in the middle which resulted in Triple H hitting him from behind once again and Rousey taking over. But before she could do anything Stephanie put her through a table. It would the slowest table slam I've ever seen in my life. LMAO

MATCHES

Women's Division: Bayley vs Sonya Deville
Winner: Bayley


This match was ok. It didn't really start strong and it didn't finish strong either. Bayley is allowing this issue with Sasha to cloud her judgment and vice versa with Sasha. It's easy to see that both of these women need to fight it out. I think they should've had a best of series with Sasha and Bayley kind of like what they did with Cesaro and Sheamus. But have it culminate at Wrestlemania with another Iron Woman match or Steel Cage Match. It would've been EPIC! 

Men's Division: Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins
Winner: Seth Rollins

This match was AWESOME! NO PUN INTENDED LMAO. The Miz was on commentary and basically gushed about his newest edition little Monroe. Congrats Miz and Maryse by the way. That was not the draw. The draw was this amazing match between Rollins and Balor. They play well off of each other even as faces. They are just GOOD! I loved this match and Rollins keeps proving that he is Mr. Monday Night Raw. 

Men's Division: Matt Hardy vs Goldust
Winner: Matt Hardy

This was just odd and poor booking. I have nothing to say about this match other than let's move on.

Women's Division: Mickie James & Alexa Bliss vs Dana Brooke & Asuka
Winner: Dana Brooke & Asuka

We all know how any match with Asuka will end. She will win. So yea I wasn't looking forward to this. But I am glad that Dana got to show some prowess and got a win under her belt. I was really hoping that Nia would get her hands on that little bitch and give us all the satisfaction we so desperately need and want. Solid match and I'm glad Dana got a spot to shine on.

Men's Division: Heath Slater vs Elias
Winner: Elias

Uh...unnecessary and uninterested. This was a time filler. 

In OTHER News

Team McMahon vs Team Rousey

Uh...is it me or is Ronda in desperate need of help on the mic and the delivery of her moves. Now don't get me wrong I love Ronda. I think her coming to WWE is great. But she's gotta develop a persona other than just being Ronda Rousey. Yea she's great but where's the spunk, the spark, the vivaciousness. Stephanie and Triple H have tenure. They have personality, spunk. And they know how to work the mic. Ronda needs help asap, she's too green. It was a huge mistake to make her very first match at Wrestlemania. That is pressure beyond belief. She should've had her first match months ago on RAW and then worked the dark shows. However on the other side, for Stephnie to be as immersed in the WWE as she is her skills are lacking also. Ronda has an excuse she's no wrestler she's learning. But Stephanie was born in this business. She has no excuse as to why she can't sell a table drop. Ronda had to help her ass out on that and it still looked slow and sloppy. No, Ma'am. It wasn't devastating nor was it worth the cost of the broken table. It just didn't do it 

Brains Strowman?


You know there are days where I'm on board with WWE and their antics but this just takes the cake. So, of course, the tag team champs are wondering who Strowman's partner is going to be at Wrestlemania and so is the rest of the WWE Universe. But for the past 2 weeks, Strowman has successfully taken out both members of The Bar with ease. So it really doesn't matter it who his partner is because he is competition on his own. But this week, Braun decided to poke a little fun and add some mind games to the story. He came out tonight as Brains Strowman. Literally with a sleeveless shirt and glasses as his disguise. Chile...I was so floored with laughter. 

Cena Still has No Answer to his Challenge?


Listen I've been a fan of Cena's for years. But this whole LATE CHALLENGE to the Undertaker is irritating as hell. I just don't understand why this wasn't set up at least a month ago. Instead of having Cena put in both Main Event matches at the respective pay per views for each show at the last minute. Just to lose and then beg for the Undertaker to GIVE him a WrestleMania moment makes him look weak and needy. He's John Cena for god's sake, the franchise boy. The last of the attitude era. The leader of PG movement. How does one legend in his own right have to beg for a chance against another legend aka ICON at Wrestlemania? Something about this doesn't seem right. Its ridiculous and I want it to be over. Undertaker answered every single challenge issued to him except John's. Ugh... it's annoying 

Nia Jax Makes it Known Yeah I'm Big and I'm COMING FOR YOU BITCH!


Nia had an interview with Renee. It really hit home for me with her emotion towards this subject. Real or not. This is something that plagues the world. The mean girls are always the most insecure and they want to tear you down and make you feel less than so they can feel better. I wish every girl who is being teased and was teased can watch this match and feel vindicated. I can't wait for this to go down. 

No matter how you look at this it looks bad for Alexa Bliss. If she beats Nia at Wrestlemania it will only prove that WWE isn't as progressive as they claim. And if Nia wins she'll lose her title while being pummeled Honestly its time for new blood, new arrivals, and new matches. I can't wait. Because who will be the first challenge Nia as the newly crowned Women's Champion? Besides Alexa's rematch. If I was Mickie I would screw her ass at Wrestlemania and make her lose on the grandest stage of them all. Just me and my opinion. 

Brock & Roman Clash One Final Time


Honestly, this was a 1 way street for a while. And Monday they allowed Roman to show some come up. However, he was still laid out by Lesnar in the end. I get they are trying to build this up but for the past 2 weeks, but Roman has been getting manhandled. And now it all it took was a few superman punches to get Brock down? Smdh. 

OVERALL

This show was good. It gave us just enough to want to go over to Wrestlemania and see the final outcome. I was entertained and I'm anxiously waiting for Sunday night.
