Last night was a pretty good Raw (in my opinion) leading up to Bad Blood. We have almost 2 weeks until then, and things are getting pretty good. We've got a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!
-CM Punk opened the show, and was NOT happy. Punk sounded very raspy and upset (as he should be) and gave ONE HELL of a promo leading up to the Hell in a Cell match at BB. At one point, Punk said that despite his family being against the match.. he was ready to risk it all, he was ready to put his career on the line. I have a feeling this might be one of THE best HIC matches in a while.
-Sheamus vs. Pete Dunne
We saw another match with these two, and things are getting wild. This rivalry is getting real intense, real quick. The match itself was pretty good, however by the end.. things seemed this feud isn't going to end anytime soon. We saw Pete bring in the shillelagh, providing a bit of a distraction. And Sheamus ended up getting hit with the cricket bat right to the face.. allowing Pete to pick up the win. Oh.. this is FAR from over. These two can really put on one hell of a match.
-Natalya vs. Zoey Stark
Well... same match, different night. I am REALLY getting tired of the same matches that just don't give it all. This is one of those matches. I love Nattie and I like Zoey pretty good too.. it's just this isn't working like they want it to. In the end, Nattie picked up the win.
-Jey Uso and Bron Breakker Promo
This promo was AMAZING, gimme 12. These two went back and forth, face to face before their big match next week on Raw. Bron let everyone know he didn't need his family or his name for his sucess in the WWE. He also went on to say that he has done more in 6 months than Jey has done in 14 years. Woah. Jey wasn't gonna let that slide tho.. He told Bron that his run would be shorter than his NFL career.. which POPPED me like something serious. I wasn't expecting that. To end that segment we saw Jey dodge a spear and hit Bron with one of his own. Are we going to see a NEW champ next week? I am so torn.
-World Tag Team Championship Match: New Day vs. Judgment Day
I had to ask the other day who the tag champs were. If that says anything about the Judgement Day run thus far. I was wanting The New Day to win so bad.. but that just wasn't in the cards.. once again. The match itself was pretty good, besides the outside interference.. can we PLEASE get a match with the Judgement Day banned from ringside?? PLEASE!? On the outside we saw Dom/Carlito and LWO cause an brawl on the outside which led the ref to leave the ring for a moment. This cost Woods from getting the pin.. Moments later Finn got the win. OH BOY...
Later on, we saw a PISSED Woods lash out on Kofi backstage. I have this feeling that we aren't going to be getting Woods turn on Kofi.. but in a SHOCKING turn of events, we will see Kofi turn on Woods. Because at this moment, they are making it way too obvious that Woods would be the one turning.
-We got an AMAZING little video from Wyatt Sicks. If you haven't watched it, please do! And we got the return of QR codes! HELL YEAH! If you want to follow that, please go on Twitter and type in Uncle Howdy or Wyatt Sicks. You'll see all that information and everything that was found and solved. In basic terms.. they are talking to Braun. Not to attack, but to help. Hmm...I am loving where this is going.
-Braun Strowman vs. Bronson Reed
Okay, what the hell was even that! Any time these two get in the ring together it's INSANE, and this time.. they delivered. RIGHT out the gate, the top rope broke. Not only that, but outside the ring.. they broke the barrier. This continued into the back where they went through a wall! I would also like to point out, the match never started. So.. I can assume this feud will continue on. Regardless, this is one rematch situation that I actually enjoy. You honestly never know what will happen next and I love it.
-Sami Zayn Promo
I love some Sami Zayn. This guy knows how to do it all, and this new feud with Gunther is one of my favorites. Not only did we see Sami, but Ludwig as well. We saw what we thought could be a turn.. but Sami made some very good points about Ludwig and Gunther's relationship. In the end, we saw Gunther deny Sami another match.. resulting in a beat down. To end this segment Sami counter attacked Kaiser in the middle of the ring. Will this match be at Bad Blood? Or are they delaying for other reasons?
-Bianca Belair vs. Iyo Sky
Fabulous, give me 12 please. Where has this been in my entire life? This match was AMAZING and why they chose to have this on a Monday Night Raw is a mystery to me, honestly. I loved everything about this. It looks like we will be seeing a tag team match of these teams way sooner than later. Hopefully it will be good too! In the end we got (in a shocking turn of events) Iyo pinning Bianca! Didn't expect that shit!
-Damian Priest vs. Dominik Mysterio
After the last few weeks we (once again) got DP and Dom in a match in the main event. Some of those hits and shots were personal.. LOL but what a match! I thought it was pretty good overall and I was impressed. I thought the spot were Mami took out Morgan over the announce table was AMAZING and they even took out Wade. But in the end, DP got the win. That was short lived due to the beat down afterwards. This time it was Damian that took the main beating.. with the Judgement Day to remain on top.
What does this mean for their matches at Bad Blood? Are we going to see a title change? Will the Terror Twins stand tall in their matches? Only time will tell!
Overall: 8.4/10
