This was one heck of a Monday Night Raw and everything is starting to heat up leading into the New Year. Not only do we have Smackdown coming up, but we also have the return of Saturday Night Main Event THIS Saturday! While I wasn't too sure at first, and to be honest.. I said I was going to skip that. However.. the card is STACKED and I am here for it. I'll be doing my best to LIVE tweet as much as possible! We've got a lot to unpack, so let's get into it!
-Kicking off Raw was Gunther.. and things got heated REAL quick. Before much was said with Gunther.. Finn and The Judgement Day made themselves known. One thing led to another.. words were exchanged and Damian Priest came into the picture as well. It got physical and ended with Finn standing tall with both his tag title and the world title. Could this be what we see on Saturday? Or will someone else get involved too?
-8-Man Tag Team Match: The Wyatt Sicks vs. The Final Testament and The Miz
While (at first) I wasn't thrilled with this whole feud.. but boy was I wrong. The story telling in this is wonderful! And also.. VERY DEEP. This match rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, but you have to be very open to everything when it comes to the Wyatt type storytelling. Everything was pretty wild overall, and just when we thought Howdy had it.. Paul Ellering returned and threw a powder in Howdy's face.. resulting in a Final Prayer and getting the win on Wyatt Sicks. I know... I know.. I was pretty shocked too. But the end result is going to be AMAZING from what I am hearing.

-Dakota Kai vs. Liv Morgan
I completely understand keeping this going and making sure that there is a good story.. however this match just wasn't it for me. It was a "story line" push match. Pure Fusion Collective caused a distraction.. keeping that feud alive. This allowed Liv to deliver Oblivion to pick up the win. After the match Iyo and Kairi came to help Dakota.. but Liv was able to stand tall in the end. I look forward to Liv and Iyo's match on Saturday.. there is a lot to happen, and I am here for it.
-Seth Rollins Promo/Sami Zayn
This was amazing, from start to finish. It looks like we are going to be getting Seth and Punk before too long.. as going into his promo, it was about Punk. Sami came to the ring and the two exchanged words back and forth. Apologies were made due to Sami accusing Seth of taking out Jey. It was then that Sami made the announcement that it will be Drew and Sami on Saturday Night Main Event... and it wouldn't be right if Drew didn't attack Sami at the top of the ramp to close things out. Things are heating up with this.. and I am loving it all!
-Lyra Valkyria vs. Zelina Vega vs. Ivy Nile
I have mixed feelings about this match, but will say it was a pretty good match overall. The ending really took me for a loop.. I was fully expecting Vega to pick up the win.. as she has been a huge favorite to win the new title. Nope.. it was Lyra Valkyria that took home the win to move on in the next round. Hmm.. Don't get me wrong, I love Lyra.. it just wasn't something that I expected.
-The New Day Promo
I LOVED THIS. So.. are we fully getting The New Day ultra heel on this? Because this was over Dom level hate.. I can't wait to see how this goes, and how the reaction will be moving forward. It does seem that The New Day is acting dumb on this one.. like they are the victim.. which makes things very interesting. Basically, they were booed out of the ring/building.
-Anything Goes Match: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez
This match was good overall in my opinion.. Of course we did see the basic interference, but that didn't seem to get in the way for the most part. I liked it, and these two work very well together as well. In the end, we were able to see Rhea pick up the win and stand tall.. however, this did make things very interesting for what is to come. Iyo and Rhea seemed to have a tense moment about the title.. is this something to come? Will Iyo win on Saturday? Or will she go on to win the Rumble? Only time will tell!
Overall: 9.4/10
=============================================================
*UP NEXT: Wednesday Night Dynamite
-We know there WILL be a title change on Saturday Night.. but who?
-What does this mean for The Wyatt Sicks moving forward?
-How will things goes down Friday after MCMG lost the titles?
We've got a HUGE week.. and I am HYPE!
**I stand with what I said recently about Rey Fenix and that situation. Now.. before everyone loses their minds, please remember.. it's my opinion. We only know ONE side, and I will be the first to tell you.. if I am wrong, I will admit it. My twitter... is mine. I will say what I feel and if you don't like it.. please, by all means... leave or block me. If you are rude to me, most likely.. I will be rude back. Yes, I pay for my check mark.. why? Because I can. Do I make money? Nope.. Twitter makes that too hard. Why this is even anyone's business I have no idea. Also.. it's always the ones that want to talk about my looks or money or "go back to the kitchen bitch and make sandwiches" .... it's always little dick energy, you know? LOL!
Anyway, we've got big week into wrestling.. and leading into the new year.. this is very important! I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed week.
xoxo,
Chels
