WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix (April 7th) Rundown/Review

Woah! It's been a minute I would say.. Let's just say my so called "return" the last time didn't stick. It was nice to take a break, but it's also good to be back in business. I did my best to LIVE tweet AEW Dynasty.. but I still won't be putting my two cents in overall in the blog just yet. We are SO CLOSE to Wrestlemania, and it's time to kick it into gear. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!

-Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair and Iyo Sky Kick Off Raw on Netflix

To be honest, I am not really hype for this overall. The build was okay, but having Iyo as champ right now doesn't seem right. Now, I say that and I don't take anything away from here. It's just odd to have her as champ right before Mania. It doesn't FEEL like she is champ, you know? I don't think Iyo will retain.. I have a feeling it will either be Rhea or Bianca. In this we saw all three woman come to the ring and it was announced this match would now be a triple threat. All three women signed the contract and there was a little bit of a brawl before Iyo walked away with her title in hand. I will also mention, are we for sure going to see a full blown Bianca turn? I think so! If you'll note, Bianca said she didn't care who she was facing.. she had to watch her two friends fight each other and then she STILL won the EC. Hmm.. that alone just had my gears going.

-Women's Intercontinental Championship: Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria (c)\

I thought this was interesting.. Overall the match was pretty good. I like both Bayley and Lyra and they work well together. Bayley has beaten Lyra and now Lyra has beaten Bayley. So far we have a tie.. now we will see how this works on Friday as they will tag together. Do we see a betrayal at Mania.. to set up for Alexa and Nikki? Those are my thoughts overall.. With the rest of the teams, they are all too established.. besides Maxxine and Nattie. 

 -LWO vs. American Made and El Grande Americano

This whole thing is too stinkin funny. Overall, I enjoyed it for the most part. While we have seen this kind of gimmick before, this does add a bit of a mix to it all. These teams work wonderfully together overall.. and I can't wait to see a little more from both. 

-Jey Uso/Gunther

THIS WAS SO GOOD! I love a serious Jey Uso... and this delivered. At first it was slow, but now this feud has some "umf" to it all. Gunther got serous, and now so did Jey. This is what this feud should have been from the start. I LOVED seeing Gunther a bit rattled as well. Can Jey Uso pull this off and shock the world? I have a feeling we just might.

-World Tag Team Championship: The War Raiders vs. The New Day

Okay.. nope. This was pretty much a "throw in" match and was a set up for The New Day to win at Mania. Also.. the Tony dude, that's suppose to be funny? What a shocking moment that we find out.. it is not. Call me up tight if you'd like, the "joke" about Big E wasn't funny. It was very tasteless and not needed. The match ended in a DQ due to the New Day.

-Penta vs. Dominik Mysterio

In a shocking turn of events, I thought this match was wonderful. Who would have thought I would actually be a fan of Dom? Sadly, even with the help of Carlito.. Penta still picked up the win. But it wasn't over from there.. Bron made himself known, giving Carlito the most INSANE spear of all time. Finn also made himself known. If you didn't see the announcement.. at Mania it will be Dom vs Finn vs Bronn, vs Penta for the IC Title. Who knows? Could we see Dom have the upset of a life time and win?? Or will Finn finally turn on The Judgement Day?

-Seth/Paul Heyman/Punk

During this we saw Heyman come out and talk about what has all happened. My head can't seem to think or wrap around to type out everything that has happened.. so if you've been paying attention, then you know already. Seth Rollins did come out during this and had a bit of a talk with Heyman. He talked about how Roman OR Punk didn't care about him. No one came to save Heyman when Roman dipped after the lost the title and Paul had to deal with Solo. No one came to save Heyman after Punk left previously. Since Seth had his loss at Mania last year, there has been a bit of a change in him... he wasn't been the same. Seth started to get a little aggressive and started to attack Paul.. that was until Punk came to the rescues. There was a bit of a messy brawl between the two.. and Seth got a stomp of Punk.. and while he seemed to go do the same to Paul.. as Paul seemed to try and help Punk.. Seth didn't. As the show ended we say Seth tell Paul.. "now you owe me a favor"....

I FULLY believe that we will be seeing Paul Heyman walk out with Seth Rollins at Mania. 110%! This whole time Seth has done everything to warn Roman about Punk. And he was right. He cashed in his favor to spite Roman... And while the eye is on Heyman going with Punk and betraying Roman.. no one thinks about Heyman actually working with Seth to betray the BOTH of Roman and Punk. BAM!

Regardless, this Mania is going to be GOOD!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-With only ONE more Raw left, and TWO Smackdowns... things are going to heat up.
-Who will face Liv and Raquel at Mania?
-Will there be a multi man tag team match for Smackdown at Mania?
-Did Tiffy and Char go to far with each other?
-Will we finally see Alexa and The Wyatt Sicks return at Mania? Because the stage is set...

**My regards to the whole Wyatt Sicks situation....

The man got hurt. It was an accident. You have to keep going story line wise.. back up plan if you will. You can't add any other member due to the story line itself. Taylor has been CLEARED and I am more than sure that he will return sooner than later. The same with Alexa.. it's apart of the story and will be done in due time. Also.. the ones starting fake rumors on Twitter... claiming to be fans of the Wyatts.... NO you aren't. You are giving false information and false hope to those who are waiting. Stop it. You are the problem.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

until next time
