This week has already been swamped, and it's only Tuesday. Honestly, the last like.. month has been WILD. Between doctor appointments, birthdays, health problems, and more... I am beat to pieces. But.. the show must go on! This is the first Monday Night Raw blog I have done in a minute... and to be honest, I didn't even notice until Saturday when I was working on Smackdown's blog. Regardless.. I am BACKKK.. and working on more content than ever. Let's get into it!
-Kicking off Raw: The Usos
I'm so freakin happy to see these two together again.. but...will it last? Only time will tell after this promo/episode. It wasn't long until we did see Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker in the mix.. all four men exchanged words, until LA Knight made the attack on The Vision. Overall I did enjoy this.. but something just seems a little off with Jey. Are we going to see another side of him moving forward?
-AJ Styles vs. El Grande Americano
During the commercial break there was a small promo from a seemingly pissed off AJ Styles. Hmm.. they also made sure to post that said promo to WWE YouTube this morning. With AJ's contract expiring early 2026... does this mean we are seeing the final matches and feuds of AJ?
We saw something pretty interesting here.. we saw a 2nd Grande Americano coming to El Grande's aid.. but then Dragon Lee came to help AJ ... resulting in AJ picking up the win. So... what the heck is happening here? What is up with the multiple Grande? Where is this even going?
-Lyra Valkyria vs. Raquel Rodriguez
I enjoyed this match overall.. and I am really happy with everything Raquel is doing right now. She has improved so much over the last couple of months. In a shocking turn of events.. Raquel did pick up the win. But this does lead me to believe.. what is going on with Lyra? Is her losing having to tie into the Bayley situation?
**With Bayley: Her promos suggest a split personality? Could we see someone do a split personality outside of Bray and The Wyatt Sicks? I think Bayley of all people could pull this off in the best way. It isn't something you would think you'd see her do, but I think it would be wonderful!
-AJ Lee returns to Monday Night Raw
I'm so happy to see AJ back on Raw! The crowd was amazing in welcoming her.. and she gave a very good promo. She did talk about her mental health and why she left overall.. but it wasn't long until we saw Becky come into the mix. This turned into Seth.. and eventually Punk making his way to the ring. The four had one hell of a promo and it was the match was suggested by AJ.. after she was willing to trade Becky's title for the tag team match. I have a feeling this is going to be REALLY good!
**ALSO: How wild was it to hear the crowd chant "therapy"... I love wrestling
-Penta vs. Rusev
I thought this match was pretty good overall.. not something I really expected, but happy I got to see it. However I wasn't expecting to see Penta lose.. I really hope they aren't dropping the ball with the opportunity they have with Fenix as well. Maybe we will see a draft sooner than later?
-Nikki Bella vs. Asuka
I am not too sure about this whole situation. What are we doing here exactly? I feel there is so much happening with Asuka right now, and it's not terrible.. However, Nikki losing like this constantly is almost too much. Give the woman some grace will ya? Not only is she a Hall of Famer.. but she's been working fairly hard over the last few weeks. But... she is kind of being booked like a jobber. In the end.. Nikki lost to Asuka and it leads you to wonder what is next for Nikki...
-LA Knight vs. Bronson Reed
This whole thing is messy. I love it and hate it at the same time. The match itself was good, but you better believe that there was so bull crap mixed in with it. Of course Bron Breakker was there to make things a little harder for Knight... and of course Jey and Jimmy did their best to help out as well. However it just wasn't enough and Bronson Reed got the win over LA Knight. After the match however.. LA Knight ended up taking a spear from Jey.. and you could hear him say "it was all good" to Jimmy after. Are we getting full heel Jey? PLEASE for the love of GOD... don't turn Jimmy and Jey against each other again, I simply can't handle another feud between these two. Let them tag.. please let them tag.
Overall: 7.8/10
============================================================
