I'll tell you what.. I guess that tweet wasn't lying about Monday Night Raw...IYKYK. We've got A LOT to talk about.. and a crash out is on the horizon. -Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Liv Morgan Liv Morgan came to the ring with Dom to give a promo, explaining her actions last week with Nikki Bella. In this, she also called out Iyo Sky.. and she wants another title shot. Iyo came to the ring as well, and it all but seemed like this was a story ready to kick off. -Ivy Nile vs. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Asuka (Queen of the Ring) This match was SO much better than I thought it was going to be overall. I really had this match between two women, and that was Vaquer and Asuka. All women did wonderful, and work so well together. We did see Rhea come out and cost Raquel in return from Rhea's match. And in the end, it was Asuka that got the win! She will now face Alexa Bliss this Friday! That match.. should be very good. It will be interesting t...
Oh boy, oh boy.. this had to be a top Monday Night Raw. But before we get started, let me just say... having a sick 2 year old has been kicking my ass all over the place. My content has taken a bit of a step back because of this. Of course.. it will always be that way. My baby comes first. This morning was pretty rough but we are on the good side of healing.. so that's a plus. We've got a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!
*We've got a hell of a couple of weeks. We have almost ONE week until World's End.. and things are heating up. We are also inching to Raw on Netflix, which is set to be one of the BIGGEST Monday Night Raw's to date.
-CM PUNK kicks off Raw
Let me just start off by saying.. WOW.. I am not sure what I expected when this promo/segment started but it sure wasn't this. I think we can also agree that Punk's impression of Seth's laugh was spot on! Lol! It wasn't long into the promo until Seth came from the crowd. The two exchanged words, and then exchanged blows. The fight went not only in the ring but around it and into the crowd. I loved this! It looks like we are finally getting the match we've always wanted.. Seth Rollins vs CM Punk at Raw on Netflix! Let's freakin GO!
-Intercontinental Championship: Bron Breakker vs. Ludwig Kaiser
This match went insane, and I am here for it. These two tore the house down, in the best way possible. I will say I am very impressed with Ludwig and everything he has done thus far in singles. I really hope moving forward they will give him his moment. He for sure deserves it! In the end, it was Bron Breakker who retained the title.. Moving forward, it was will interesting to see who Bron will face next. And.. how will Ludwig be booked?
*Backstage: We saw a small segment between the members of the Judgement Day. Liv won her match.. but Finn came up short. Seems there might be some bad blood between them moving forward.
*Backstage: In a funny (and kinda shocking) turn of events Rey told The New Day they couldn't come into the locker room due to how they did Big E. This one I didn't expect, they are really going all out for this heel turn. Hmm.. how far are they willing to go tho?
-Liv Morgan Promo/Women's IC Title Tournament Match
Liv made a small promo in ring.. and it wasn't long until Mami came to ruin the fun. It was revealed that Rhea was the no 1 contender for the title, and it would be happening sooner than later. I did see a lot of people pissed about this, but honestly.. tell me who else would be at this point? Iyo lost her match.. Who else would bring in a good story line in such short time. My guess on what will happen: Their match will be at Raw at Netflix premier.. Becky will cost Liv, and Iyo will win the Rumble to face Rhea at Mania.
*After that segment, we went straight into the IC Title Match
This match was okay for the most part. I will say.. I didn't expect the ending. I was going into the match, ready for a squash by Raquel. But no.. that didn't happen. It was Zoey Stark that took home the win.. Woah.. I wonder where this is going, and the reason behind it. Don't get me wrong, I like Zoey.. I just didn't see her moving forward in this tho.
*Backstage: We saw The Miz ready to part ways, but nope.. Karrion wouldn't allow it. It was then revealed by Kross that The Miz will be facing Dexter next week. This will be pretty good, I will say. While some are upset that there is no major push push for The Wyatt Sicks, please stay for the time being. Give it time, and slow down. The story is there and the story is GOOD. It just takes some time. I would also say that going into it, it doesn't help that Raw is only two hours. Going into Netflix, it will be three hours again.. and it will be better story wise.
-World Tag Team Championship: War Raiders vs. Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh
Oh boy... I've been waiting for this. I went into this match with very mixed feelings. I wanted War Raiders to win this match so bad, but had this feeling there would be some shenanigans. Overall, the match was VERY good... and there was a good bit of in ring chem that worked in the best ways. At the end, we saw Finn try to grab a chair to cheat.. but it was Damian Priest that appeared to take the chair away from him. This allowed War Raiders to get the advantage and get the win to become NEW World Tag Team Champs! YESSSSS SIR! FINALLY! I have always been mixed with the War Raiders, but if they are booked right.. I'll be 110% on board! So where do we go from here?
Overall: 9.4/10
