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...
Okay, okay.. I am a little late. To be honest.. James had his therapy yesterday and it kicked everyone's butt. Regardless, it's time to talk about Monday Night Raw.. and boy was it something! We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it.
-CM Punk Kicks Off
CM Punk made himself to the ring, and he was pissed. He went off, and in the best way possible. Not only talking crap about John Cena and The Rock.. but now Seth Rollins seeing that he cost him the Chamber match. It was intense and it wasn't long until Seth made himself to the ring. There was no talking, but all fighting. The two fought around the ring, and even into the crowd. There was even a time back stage where they saw each other.. and it was on sight. This turned into a confirmed match next week at MSG in a steel cage. This should be pretty damn good if you ask me.
-Otis vs. Gunther
I am so torn about all of this. I love Otis, but I don't like this angle. So are we just giving Gunther people we KNOW will lose up until Mania? Now, don't get me wrong.. each match thus far has really put a fire under them and the match hasn't been really a squash. But we know the ending... After Gunther had won the match we saw Jey Uso come to make the save after a small beat down. However, that just wasn't the end. A-Town Down Under did make themselves known as they attacked as well.. which was a little odd to me. How are they going to tie into all of this? I can imagine that they will be two matches for Jey to pass the time before Mania.
-Women's Intercontinental Championship: Lyra Valkyria vs. Ivy Nile
Still..it just isn't my cup of tea. However both women are wonderful and this match was pretty good overall. I still feel there needs to be more of a build in the next match moving forward. Can we get an actual story line besides "I lost previously, give me another chance" situation? Regardless, the two women did wonderful and work well together.. but it just wasn't enough for Ivy. Lyra retained her title.
-Ludwig Kaiser Promo
We saw Ludwig cut a promo on Penta and of course.. he made himself known as well. The two went back and forth before Penta took out Ludwig to close things out. It seems that there is some unfinished business. With Rey Fenix being released from AEW, could we be seeing a tag team situation? Will Ludwig find someone to tag with besides Gunther?
-World Tag Team Championship: The War Raiders vs. The Creed Brothers
I actually liked this match, and it really showed that The Creed Brothers could in fact become your new tag team champs sooner than later. They are really good! The match itself was pretty impressive, and I loved how well the two teams worked together. However, it just wasn't good enough to pick up the win.. and The War Raiders retained their titles. Hmm.. this run has been pretty good, and they aren't scared to put their titles on the line. That is for sure something that hasn't been done previously with The Judgement Day. But the question is.. who do you think will be the ones to take the titles away from The War Raiders.
-The Judgment Day/Bron Breakker
We saw an interview with Jackie and Bron Breakker. However this was interrupted by Finn Balor who didn't hold back. Bron made his way to the ring.. but Finn wasn't alone. We also saw Carlito and Dom.. which were taken out by Bron. Finn and Bron had a moment but Bron was able to chase off Finn.. but not before leveling Carlito to make his statement. So the question is... are we going to see The Judgement Day fighting Bron.. or The Wyatt Sicks??
-Women's World Championship: Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky
What a freakin match. I didn't see this coming by any means... The match itself was AMAZING. I mean I cannot say this enough when I saw that both Rhea and Iyo are both INSANELY good. Both took each other to their limits, but.. we did have Bianca on the sideline for this match. We saw (what should have been a DQ) a little "fight" between Bianca/Rhea.. but that just wasn't the call this time. And in the end.. Rhea was distracted, resulting in Iyo getting the upper hand and winning the title to become the NEW Women's Champ. I won't lie.. I was PISSED. All that time Rhea spent trying to get her title back, and this is how she loses it. I will say.. good on Triple H for giving us the most unpredictable Raws in the last few months. I have a STRONG feeling we will be seeing a triple threat at Mania.. but was this the right call overall?
Overall: 8.9/10
