What a time for wrestling! We are back with TWO weekends of big time wrestling.. and we are so excited! The last few weeks have been a little difficult personally, but I am back.. and hopefully everything goes smoothly! While I am still very much working on content, I did take a bit of a step back this last week to not only celebrate my son's 3rd birthday, but to celebrate my husband's birthday too! What a weekend it has been friends! We've got a lot to talk about that has happened on Monday Night Raw.. so let's get into it!
Kicking off Monday Night Raw: Seth Rollins/The Vision
I really hope this doesn't continue.. having the same opening week after week. Seth is on a roll, and things are really heating up leading into Clash in Paris on the 31st! We did hear one hell of a promo from Paul Heyman.. and more.. but it wasn't until Jey Uso made his way to the ring.. leading to an Extreme Rules match between Jey and Bron Breakker. I thought this promo/segment was very good... and leaves the door open for a lot to take place.
-Iyo Sky vs. Raquel Rodriguez
I actually enjoyed this match for the most part, but did see the big story that was also unfolding along the way. It seems there is some issues between Asuka and Iyo... and there might be a tag team happening with Rhea and Iyo as well. This could be really good moving forward.. and keeping both women away from the title spotlight for a while. We did see Iyo pick up the win, and after a post match beat down.. Rhea came out for the save. So.. it seems like a tag team isn't too far fetched after all.
**After the match at some point we did see Asuka and Rhea get into an argument, causing Iyo to lose it.
-Penta vs. Xavier Woods
Is anyone else just not feeling The "New" New Day.. or is it just me at this point? I just don't like it.. Now.. don't get me wrong, I LOVE Xavier and Kofi.. but not this version. The match itself was okay, and we did.. once again see Penta pick up the win. Soo....where do we go from here?
-Mr. Iguana and Dragon Lee vs. The Judgment Day
I saw where some weren't too thrilled with this match overall.. but I loved it. Overall it did tell the story from this past weekend and their match.. and we did also see Vikingo getting involved. However, The Judgement Day did pick up the win. Dom also stood tall at the end.. seeing that the match between Vikingo and him was previously announced for World's Collide.
-Women's Intercontinental Championship: Natalya vs. Becky Lynch
I'm so torn right now for this.. while the match was good, what in the world are they doing? Why can't we see Nattie instead of Natalya? I feel that the character would be AMAZING and so worth the time to explore. Becky did pick up the win to retain.. but it wasn't without a post match beat down. Nikki Bella did come in for the save... and it seems we will see the two face off sooner than later. But does the mean we could possibly see Nikki take the title from Becky?? The more I have thought about it, the more it would be good for Nikki seeing that she is sticking around for a while.
-Naomi Addresses the WWE Universe on her future
This had me guessing the entire time, but the news was announced on Stephanie McMahon's podcast in a special segment... Naomi is PREGNANT! While I am a little sad that her title reign has come to an end, I am so happy for her to become a mom! Now.. how will they do this moving forward? PLEASE for the love of God don't let it be a battle royal to determine the winner. They have one more Monday Night Raw until Clash in Paris.. in which I am sure they could put a small tournament together, even if they do the winner on Monday after CIP. But who? Rhea and Iyo are in tag team action (it seems)... Becky and Nikki have a feud... Could we finally see Bayley snap and become champ once again?
**If you haven't seen Bayley and her videos lately, you could check them out! Is she going crazy? Is she turning heel? Changing character?
-Extreme Rules Match: Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker
I thought this was wild.. and very good overall! Not only was it a good match but there was so much going on.. we did see Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Punk, and Roman all get involved... but it was no match for Jey in this. Jey did pick up the win... With everything going on.. it is just making Clash in Paris more and more anticipated
Overall:8.1/10
UP NEXT: Friday Night Smackdown
