Oh boy... this one was.... something. We've got a lot to talk about before tonight's Monday Night Raw after Mania... and it's gonna be a hell of a blog. Let's get into it!
-Kicking off Mania Night 2 was the Triple Threat with Rhea/Bianca/Iyo
I thought this match was WONDERFUL! It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and I thought it was done very well. I really was pushing for Rhea to pick up the win, but.. that just wasn't the case. Iyo retained her title at Mania! While I wasn't thrilled, she still deserves it. I can't wait to see where this will go next.. and who will she face next?
-Sin City Street Fight: Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre
While I wasn't really sure at first going into this match, it did deliver overall. These two went to war with each other and I was pretty impressed. You could tell this was full of hatred and just a slug fest. There were a couple of moves where it was a little scary but it was pulled off very well. In the end, it was Drew McIntyre that picked up the win over DP. So now that this is over... what is next for Drew??
- Fatal 4-Way Match for Intercontinental Championship
This may have been my all time favorite of the night to be honest. The story is RIGHT THERE! I am so hype right now for it overall.. This match was pretty damn good, even tho I am not a huge fan of multiple person matches. We finally saw Finn and Dom go at it and it was wonderful! In the end, and in a shocking turn of events.. Dom PINNED Finn.. to win the IC Title! This was HUGE for Dom and The Judgement Day story line. I can't wait for tonight to see how this will play out. Someone pointed out.. what IF... WHAT IF... Liv has been working with Finn this entire time, and Dom has been aware of it this whole time. Because you if you remember.. Finn took Liv's key card first. Plus, it's time for Dom to be on his own.
-Randy Orton vs. Joe Hendry
I was a little disappointed at this but I can see the excitement overall. Joe Hendry ended up accepting the open challenge Randy at Mania. The crowd LOVED it and it was pretty fun overall. The match wasn't anything huge, but it was good overall. Of course, Randy did pick up the win. What will be next for Randy going into Backlash in his hometown??
-AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
Egh, I wasn't happy. This match wasn't my favorite of the night, nor has it been since it was announced. If anything, Kross made this whole match worth watching. We did see Kross show up and try to get AJ to turn... but AJ didn't do it. In return, Logan was able to pick up the win. Hmm.. Again I wasn't thrilled about all of this.. but I guess we will now see AJ and Kross once again.
-WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
Lyra's partner was none other than a RETURNING Becky Lynch! WOAH! The crowd was pretty crazy over this. Overall, this match was pretty good and I enjoyed it. HOWEVER, I didn't like the ending. We did see NEW Women's Tag Team Champs. Not a good call in my opinion. I feel the same way about Becky as I need about Char with the title situation. However this does open the door for more.. was Becky the one that attacked Bayley? Hmm.. Becky and Lyra have faced each other before.. do I smell a turn?
-Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena
I AM SO DONE WITH THIS SHIT. Okay, let me get this out.
I love John Cena. I love Cody Rhodes. Cena's entrance was true to the heel... Cody's entrance was ICONIC. The match itself was pretty good overall UNTIL.... Travis Scott came out. LIKE WHAT... to quote someone on Twitter (I don't remember who posted this) but one one is asking for this man.. just ask NO ONE is asking Cody to go to a rap concert. WHY... Travis Scott helped John Cena.. resulting in Cena picking up the win over Cody to win his 17th title.
Let me make myself very clear.. I am so happy for Cena, and I think it is deserved for him to win. It's HOW it was done. There was no other story line involvement.. other than funky ass Travis Scott. It just didn't make sense to me. If The Rock or even Seth came out... I would have understood. But I guess he was right, we got nothing. He's "ruining wrestling" I guess. This just smells like Vince to me...
Overall: 8.9/10
===============================================================
