Raw Reax - 6/17/19

Read on for my thoughts on last night's Raw.
- Elias/Rollins/Miz/Lashley/Cesaro/Ricochet/Braun:
Seth saves us (or does he?). I do wonder how he's going to survive if he keeps beating up potential referees.

Hahahahah damn Elias really took a beating. I understand them wanting to segue into an immediate match, though.

- Elimination match:
-- Miz vs. Lashley vs. Cesaro vs. Ricochet vs. Braun:
Remember a few weeks ago when WWE didn't want to do an elimination match because it would mean multiple people losing?

Yeah Braun's the guy to beat here.

Fun opening stretch.

-- Miz vs. Lashley vs. Ricochet vs. Braun:
OK this is pretty fun.

I was expecting Lashley to win off Braun eliminating everyone else.

-- Miz vs. Ricochet vs. Braun:
Cesaro's strength remains amazing.

That was a lot of fun, but Cesaro interfering should have consequences.

-- Miz vs. Ricochet:
I'm loving Braun's rampage.

More solid work!

I like this back-and-forth.

Ricochet was damn impressive here. Joe vs. Ricochet could really be fun.

- Post-match:
Oh yeah I expect Joe to retain.

- Becky/Lacey:
This has been a good showcase for Evans.

Lacey is a heck of a role model.

Good work!

- Corbin/Seth:
I get this weird feeling Sami and KO will be co-referees, which would be funny.

Damn, Seth's a madman!

- Bryan/Rowan:
Based Bryan. I've missed this.

Good stuff!

- Raiders squash:
Nice showcase. I hope they build some momentum.

- 24/7 stuff:
More fun silliness. Of course Hawkins and Ryder are in the mix now.

- Shane/Drew/Revival/Slater:
Um Heath if you want a raise go take that 24/7 Title!

Haha good enough.

- Sami/KO Show:
Oh so much for the double refs.

OK fun idea for EC3.

Yeah remember when the Wild Card Rule was enforced?

Silly but not bad. Yes, I also want more from EC3.

- AJ/Club:
Karl and Luke waiting on the 24/7 tag team title.

Not a bad idea to reboot those two. I'm not huge fans of theirs, but I think they can have a place.

- Owens/Zayn/Corbin vs. New Day:
-- Fall One:
Nice so far.

Not sure why this needed to be three falls, since it means a quick loss for the first fall.

-- Fall Two:
Fine enough so far.

Haha fun enough ending.

- Alexa/Cross:
Wow Alexa can really work her magic.

- Heyman promo:
Heyman as referee would have been interesting.

Ehhhhhhh.

- Corbin/EY/Seth:
Wow Seth that was uncalled for. I guess they're doing the Stone Cold "don't trust anyone" thing.

- Usos vs. Club:
Hahaha so much for that. We'll see where things go for Karl and Luke from here.

- Hogan promo:
So wait they did a Hulk promo to promote an event for Sunday.... and it's not WWE's event? WHAT?????

- Roman/Shane/Drew/Revival:
I am entertained by Heel Shane. I might be the only one, though.

Yeah Shane's not going to lower himself to face a multiple-time WrestleMania headliner.

I liked Drew's intensity there.

I guess this is Roman getting his heat back.

- Bayley/Naomi/Natalya:
So Bayley comes to Raw just to hang out backstage?

- IIconics promo:
Standard local crowd heel promo.

- IIconics vs. Alexa/Nikki:
Fine enough.

I can't say I'm surprised this just turned into build for Alexa vs. Bayley.

- Post-match:
They did do a good job setting up Nikki as the wild card for Stomping Grounds. I hope they don't split the team this soon.

- Fun House:
This is amazing.

Oh Bray's been on YouTube too long.

Oooooooh this is fun.

Well that was.... something. I'm liking the craziness, though.

- Bryan promo:
Yeah Bryan looks like the face compared to Seth on this show.

- Seth vs. Bryan:
Ahhhhhh that was going so well, too.

- Post-match:
Pretty fun war. Good thing Roman's not around to beat everyone.

- Seth vs. Bryan, again:
Now this is what we wanted to see.

This is SMOOTH.

I love how these two work together.

NICE Flying Knee counter.

Pretty badass.

- Post-match:
I'm curious where Seth and Corbin go after Sunday.

More wrestling coming up.
