What a freakin time Monday Night Raw was.. we've got ALOT to talk about so let's get into it!
-Kicking off: The Vision
What a promo this was, not to mention what was said. Looking back now.. there were hints to what happened in closing, but we will get to that. Seth pretty much told everyone he can do.. and did everything on his own. Which is wild... but okay. The crowd really played into all of this as well.. I thought this was interesting all the way around, and goes hand in hand with some of the other feuds Seth has been in before. Let's think about The Shield for a moment.. because... there are similar feelings. I was shocked that no one came out to stop or interrupt any of this.
-Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta (IC Title)
I didn't think there would be a time for this to happen.. but here we are. I am actually LOVING what Dom is doing right now. It's so fun and interesting overall. The match itself was very good, but we did see Rusev show up... he was eventually taken out by Penta. However.. we also had Dom pull some shenanigans, resulting in his win over Penta to retain his IC title. Out of all the people.. please don't let Rusev be the one to beat Dom.. I don't mean that I don't want Rusev to win anything, just not right now.
-Rhea Ripley vs. Kairi Sane
While this match was good, I keep wondering where this is all going overall. Do we see a turn on someone? Kairi turning on Auska? Iyo turning on Rhea? Rhea turning on Iyo? Don't get me wrong, I am loving it.. but it just has me wondering where this could be going down the line. By the end, Rhea did pin Kairi for the win.. but it was Auska who attacked Iyo at the end. Another match coming?
-Bronson Reed vs. Jimmy Uso
I love Bronson, and I love Jimmy.. but this is getting a little old. Are we setting up for a final match in the form of War Games? Because I swear this feud between these groups just keep coming and coming. The match itself was okay for the most part.. but it was Bronson that got the win over Jimmy. Bron did show up as well, attacking Jimmy... and Jey came in for the save.
-Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez
Shocked, but I actually loved this match. All women work so wonderful together. However.. what the heck are they doing with Bayley? Do they even know? Is she just Bayley.... or do we have a split personality? We had weeks of promo, a few weeks of crazy back and forth Bayley.. now.... nothing? We did see Lyra "smack some sense" into Bayley.. but that was about it. Bayley and Lyra got the win. Are we seeing a major turn? Or.. did we completely switch gears?
-Jey Uso vs. LA Knight vs. CM Punk
This match was good! I was really happy overall with how it went.. I fully expected LA Knight to win... but was happily shocked when CM Punk picked up the win. Now it seems.. once again it will be Punk vs Rollins. Interesting... seeing as the possible time line I had pictured moving into Rumble/Mania season. However, this celebration wasn't long due to Seth and The Vision making themselves known. It wasn't long until Punk was out numbered, there was a post match beat down.
**What I didn't expect.. was Bron Breakker spearing Seth. LIKE WHAT? This is INSANE to me.. and something that I did NOT see coming. Bron spoke with Bronson for a moment, and he joined in as well. The show ended with Bron holding up the title.. and The Vision..without Seth... stood tall.
***ALSO... I was watching WWE Vault and it was The Shield videos. I couldn't help but think about (when it was shown) as Triple H said "Plan B... there is always a Plan B"... WHICH... is the same thing that Seth said, right? So this leads to question, is this a work? ANOTHER situation... there has been a picture posted from a fan, with Seth's arm in a sling. If you noticed during the beat down from Bron and Bronson, Seth made sure to protect that arm. And so did Bron/Bronson. Could this all (once again) be a work? Or is Seth really hurt, and preparing to drop the title?
Overall: 8.6/10
