This was the first Monday Night Raw that was TWO hours since July of 2012! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!
-The night kicked off with CM Punk, he didn't say very much.. but enough. He thanked his fans and all but said he wasn't sure about his future moving forward. So I am guessing Punk will be taking a bit of a break.. going into Crown Jewel in November. Hm.. He was interpreted by Seth Rollins... but words were not exchanged at this point.
-Seth came to the ring and gave a promo after everything went down with Bronson Reed in the following months. He issued a challenge, but was then interrupted by Jey Uso.. who had a match next. Things seemed to get a little tense but never went further than that. Are we getting Seth vs Punk... or Seth vs Jey? Either way, I am HERE FOR IT!
-Jey Uso vs. Xavier Woods
This match was much shorter than I thought it was going to be. Good.. but short. I was really looking forard to this match and hoping we would get a little more insight to the whole Woods/Kofi situation. However, that wasn't the case this time. The match went on, and Jey Uso picked up the win. At the end, we saw Jey offer a handshake as a way of respect, but Woods was bitter and declined. Hmm.. interesting. Are we getting the full turn during the anniversary of The New Day next month? In a turn of events we saw Bron Breakker attack Jey with a Spear. Kingston attempted to help but was taken down as well. Woods did watch from the sidelines and did not help. Once again... Hmm... While I would love for them to go at it again, I hope it isn't something that is over done.
-Good Ol' Fashioned Donnybrook: Sheamus vs. Pete Dunne
I don't know what I really expected during this match but I am a little frustrated overall. The match itself was PRETTY DAMN GOOD. Both men work very well together and the work paid off on giving everything they had. However, I am not happy with the ending. Why not put over Pete during all of this? It seems that Sheamus has been the overall winner in this, which just doesn't seem right but.. oh well. Does this mean ONCE AGAIN we will be seeing another match, with Pete standing tall? Please don't burn these two out.
-10-Woman Tag Team Match
Natalya, Kayden Carter, Katana Chance, Zelina Vega and Lyra Valkyria vs Zoey Stark, Shayna Baszler, Sonya Deville, Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre. Okay... let's hurt some feelings. This match sucked. Plain and simple.. I felt like there was no direction and it was a bit messy. Also.. have we not seen this match 100 times within the last 2 months? I get story lines, and building it up.. but this is stupid at this point. In the end, Natalya, Carter, Chance, Vega and Valkyria picked up the win!
*Backstage we saw The Miz and Kross speaking with each other and it's been made VERY clear that The Wyatt Sicks have picked their next target in The Miz/Kross.. The thing is.. when will they strike next. We have R-Truth vs The Miz next week so I feel it's only a matter of time.
-World Heavyweight Championship: Sami Zayn vs. Gunther
Okay, this match was pretty dang good. I had this feeling in my head that we just MIGHT see Sami win this championship. But in my heart, I knew Gunther would keep his title for a little while longer. It made me feel that way due to the fact they already had the TWO posters for Crown Jewel. The match itself went pretty well and made everyone unsure of the final outcome. In the end, Gunther applied his sleeper on Sami and the match was stopped via ref stoppage. WOW.. didn't expect to see that one at all.
So... now it's official! It will be Gunther vs Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel in November! That is gonna be pretty damn good!
7.8/10

Up next: Wednesday Night Dynamite
-I have already seen Dynamite, but sadly I won't have this one up until maybe tomorrow or later on today. I haven't decided on what I will do just yet. Yesterday was pretty busy and I just didn't have it in me to blog nor tweet very much.
-This is THE final Dynamite until WrestleDream which is THIS Saturday!
until next time
