Well, once again I stayed up late to watch the Monday Night show. I wasn’t reviewing as I saw it, so my review only talks about the wrestling. There was some good promos, and back and forth too, but I didn’t mention it, instead let’s talk about the night of wrestling.
Cody Rhodes defeated The Miz
A competition was had here, and it was a lot of back and
forth overall. Rhodes didn’t really dominate this one, The Miz really had a
great deal of offense. Though he wasn’t wrestling like his life depended on it
like he did a few weeks ago. Rhodes would eventually pull off his finisher, and
get the win, but it was a good opener overall.
Becky Lynch defeated Chelsea Green
Another competitive back and forth match! I was surprised
that Green lasted so long here, with a little over 7 minutes of action. This
was a fun little match, with Lynch getting the submission win. A fun match, but
you knew the outcome from the starting point.
Damian Priest defeated Matt Riddle
Holy crap, another good match! I was surprised that Riddle
didn’t lose this one sooner. Priest and Riddle put on a good back and forth
match, with a lot of action. There was a decent balance here, and Priest would
eventually get the win. This was fun, and roughly 14 minutes or so, but wow, a
decent showing from both competitors.
Bronson Reed defeated Ricochet via DQ
This wasn’t much of a match, Ricochet would eventually get in
a little trouble cause Nakamura came out and interfered with the match. This is
going to lead to a triple threat I’m sure. We’ll see what happens next week in
Cleveland.
Shayna Baszler defeated Raquel Rodriguez
This was a terrible two minute match, with nothing really to
write home about. It wasn’t great.
Chad Gable defeated Erik
Another less than 2 minute match and was terrible. Gable
wins, nothing to write home about.
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated Imperium in a WWE Raw
Tag Team Title match
This was a fun back and forth match with a great deal of
action. Imperium wasn’t bad here, and they really put on a show against Owens
and Zayn. This was fun, with a lot of action. Owens and Zayn would get the big
win, and the match was nearly 20 minutes. It sent the fans home happy. It was
really good.
Overall Thoughts
I didn’t think this night of Raw was that good at all. Sure,
there were a few good matches, but it also had a lot of talking, and some
matches that were less than 2 minutes in length. Next week, we will be seeing Raw
from Cleveland, and maybe it will showcase a little more action.
Speaking of which, I will be there live! I will be at WWE
Cleveland live! So no review next week.
