It's THE final Raw before Mania, and we've got ALOT to unpack. Let's get into it!
-Gunther kicks off Raw
This whole match makes me feel some kind of way, and to be honest.. I can't tell who is going to win. I REALLY want Jey to pick up the win and become champ... however, I just have this feeling deep within that Gunther will retain, or Jey will end up getting screwed over some how. The build up has been a little slow, but as of right now it's on FIRE. Only time will tell, and it's about to come to a head.
-Bayley vs. Liv Morgan
I thought this match was great overall! It did add to the intensity of the match coming at Mania, and made Bayley and Lyra look good as a tag team. Could we see a complete turn around on Sunday? Hmm.. We also saw Bayley pick up the win over Morgan.. which did set it up for Liv/Raquel to retain. While I have seen the reports that the Wyatt Sicks/Alexa will not be reintroduced until AFTER Mania, I have this feeling we could in fact see something from the group within this match. Am I 110% sure, NO... but I am just going based off of personal thoughts.
-Rey Mysterio vs. Julius Creed
This whole story line has been so good, and fun. I think going into Mania, this whole story will be interesting and fun as time goes on. In the end, we did see Rey pick up the win over Julius.. and now we will see how Mania goes for the rest.
-AJ Styles vs. Karrion Kross
While I wasn't at first, this whole situation with Karrion has been insane. Is there more than just the wrestling, YES.. and I am doing my best to figure it all out. I fully believe that we will see more into this as AJ faces Logan Paul at Mania. The story build being all Karrion is WILD.. but I love it. The man knows his story telling. But to be honest.. I could listen to that man read a phone book and enjoy it. LOL!In a strange turn of events, Karrion lost to AJ.. but it seems to be on purpose. Hmm..
-Jey Uso's Warning to Gunther
The hate for this man is so forced it's INSANE! Jey is wonderful and has shown time and time again that he can in fact to this on his own. He is champ material for sure. Jey did come out and have a wonderful time with the crowd, and gave a little promo about Saturday. After that.. he had more fun with the crowd. I don't know why that is so "lame" to some people. It's all in good fun and I enjoyed it overall. I think Saturday's match will be one for the books.
-Penta vs. Finn Bálor
This was another filler match overall. You have four people going for the IC title, and you have to protect them this close to the match. It did end in a DQ after Bron came out to get involved. I can't predict this one once again. I have this feeling that Finn will in fact will this.. but at a cost. Does this fully set up the Wyatt Sicks feud? Will Finn win, but betray Dom? Finn has lost ALOT within the last year... and honestly it would be pushing it. But does Dom win?? I did have the prediction that Liv is actually working with Finn... which would kick Dom out. Thus.. starting the Wyatt Sicks feud. Think about it.. Finn vs Uncle Howdy / Alexa and Nikki vs Liv and Raquel / JD and Carlito vs Joe and Dex BUT.. that does leave out Rowan... unless they bring in someone else within the Judgement Day. This also sets up Dom vs Finn for the IC title down the road. Don't come for me, I am simply fantasy booking.
-Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins PROMO
See... my head is in multiple places here. The promo was all but the same as last go... INSTEAD we got a little more insight with Seth. The turn is coming, and the truth is set up. Roman fully doesn't trust Paul anymore and that was made very clear. I am LOVING the set ups for this because it made you feel like you just can't predict it. I stand by my thoughts... Seth will be winning, and Paul will be leaving with him in a crazy turn of events. I can't see it going anywhere else to be honest. This one will FOR SURE be a match to remember.
I said I would do it on this one.. but I will wait until Friday Night Smackdown to give my full Mania predictions. I have a feeling there will be ONE more match in the form of Randy Orton to be announced.
I can't wait!
Overall: 8.4/10
