We've got one hell of a Monday Night Raw, and we've got a lot to talk about! Let's get into it!
-Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman
I thought this was wonderful! The promo that Seth gave was AMAZING and really gave a glimpse of what is to come within this group and story. Of course, we did have Sami come out to get a little promo with Seth as well.. and it was pretty damn good. I enjoyed it very much! I still fully believe that this was a push into the direction of Sami joining Seth/Bron/Paul shortly down the road. And this will come in the form of turning on Jey Uso.. I think it's going to be one of the best storylines this year to be honest.
-Rhea vs Roxanne
Are we finally getting Roxanne on the main roster? I hope so! I enjoyed this match overall, but wish it didn't end in a DQ.. I would have loved to have a clean match between these two. It does however look we will get Rhea NOT going for the title again right now (which is a good thing) and instead feuding within Roxanne and Giulia.. in which who caused the DQ. Iyo did come out as well, and it was announced she would be on NXT tonight to deal with this little issue. After this, who do you think will face Iyo next? Will we get a change of ladies going for the title? Or will we see Rhea right back in the mix after this? Also it is worth noting: Money in the Bank qualifying is coming up QUICK.. AND... Bianca is currently out of action for the time being due to an injury, but she WILL be on Smackdown.
-Jey Uso/Logan Paul
We saw a small glitch from what I can only believe is The Wyatt Sicks behind Logan Paul walking to the ring. Those who slowed the video down, did show the word "Alexa" ... so is this a preview to what is to come? Is SHE coming?
We saw Logan Paul come the ring to give a promo, talking about he has done everything besides win the world championship.. and he deserves it. Blah blah blah... Jey Uso does come out as well and the two exchange words. I guess the rumors were right when they said Paul would be the first person Jey feuds with. While it isn't my favorite nor first choice, I think the two would put on one hell of a match. We all know there is NO WAY in hell they would allow Paul to win after everything that Jey has been through to get the title in the first place.
-War Raiders vs Judgement Day
*It is noted that Liv Morgan will be taking some time off due to filming a movie. However this does kind of rub me the wrong way if true. It has been said it would be revealed next Monday about said film.. this does lead me to believe.. what to do with Raquel and the tag team titles? Where does this lead Alexa and Liv? Just kind of bad timing, but we will see how this unfolds.
The match itself was okay in my opinion, but once again the match was ended due to interference. We saw Penta get his revenge on JD by costing him the match and throwing him off the top rope. Now it seems we will be getting the two face off next week. Also.. The New Day is getting on my nerves and I can't stand that they have the titles..
-Becky Lynch Promo
OMG what a freaking promo. I LOVED this, seriously.. this was one of THE best promos she has ever done and I think this feud is going to be up there with one of the best. Lyra did come out as well and the two exchanged words. It looks like we are getting Becky/Lyra at Backlash after all. The two ended up exchanging words and blows when it was all said and done.
-Stephanie Vaquer vs Ivy Nile
This match was better than I thought it was going to be. I expected it to be a full blown squash, but no.. this was actually pretty good overall. In the end, it was Vaquer that picked up the win. I think it's also safe to say that no one should count out Ivy in this.. she can go with the best of them. Looks like we will be seeing Stephanie more and more as time goes on. Main roster move soon??
-Pat McAfee Promo/Gunther Match
Pat gave a promo from on top of the announce table, and he laid it out all for everyone. When all was said and done.. Nick Aldis (covering for Adam Pearce) came out to let Pat know it was official.. At Backlash next week it would be Pat vs Gunther! This... this might be pretty good if they do it right.
-Sami Answer/Sami vs Bronn Breakker
After multiple backstage segments, with trying to get Sami to come and join the new group.. Sami turned Seth down. Of course, this came with a beat down in the form of a match with Bronn Breakker. This was intense and well worth the watch. The story telling in this is AMAZING and I am fully here for it. Sami stood his ground but Seth and Bronn were too much for him. In the end, it was Seth standing tall over Sami.. so how does this end? Will this end up being a match at Backlash? Will someone come to help Sami? Or will Sami give in and join Seth?
Overall: 9.4/10
