Read on for my thoughts on last night's Raw.
- Brock/Heyman/Vince/Braun/Finn:
I wouldn't be shocked if we see this same scene on the road to Royal Rumble 2020.
It's good to see them elevate Finn (before Brock pins him clean Sunday).
I like Heyman selling this as Brock having to switch gears. Certainly a last-minute change to a UFC fight would change things drastically.
Heyman's promos are at another level.
Oooooh. Vince adds intrigue.
Hahahah Vince burying Balor. Great. I hope AEW wakes him up to valuing certain talents.
I'm glad Strowman's not totally out of the picture.
They're really pushing Cena as a legend now.
- Finn vs. Braun:
A little surprised Braun's competing with the whole "not totally cleared" business.
Balor's really doing a lot of moving here.
I half-expect Brock to beat both men.
HAHA TAKE THAT PAL.
- Lio/Lashley/Crews:
I like the contrast with others doing open challenges.
I hope Apollo can become the force Lashley is.
Lio's shade game is strong.
Not bad!
- Lashley vs. Crews:
Nice to see Apollo being featured. Here's that change the McMahons mentioned.
Oh. Well. Perhaps I spoke too soon.
- Post-match:
I'd be fine seeing this as a Universal Title feud this summer.
- Seth/Drew:
It feels a little exploitative to use MLK for a wrestling promo.
Rollins can be a big deal.
Drew can be a big deal too. That was good.
- Seth vs. Drew:
This is solid, as expected.
Both men are really impressive.
Pretty enjoyable.
- Revival/Vince/Hawkins:
How convenient of Curt to walk by!
- Ambrose promo:
Oooooh…. yeah that's not a good comparison. If you have to get heat on someone with leukemia and an assassinated politician, there's a problem.
I do like Dean's new focus after all he put his body through.
- LHP vs. Jinder/Singhs:
I'm starting to think WWE's in for a six-man tag division.
LHP are really, really good.
Impressive showcase.
- EC3/Dana:
Hey he did get on TV at least.
- Elias/Corbin:
BARON CORBIN STILL EXISTS. He could really benefit from something fresh.
I hope this feud wraps up soon.
- Elias vs. Corbin:
Whoa. Old School-esque.
Bleeeeeeh. If Elias wasn't so over for his promos, I wouldn't object to this being on Main Event.
- Moment of Bliss:
Wow that peace didn't last long.
Hahaha everyone just coming out for three seconds.
OOOHHHHHH SNAP SHE'S BACK!!!!!
I was wondering if they'd put Lacey in the Rumble. Good to introduce her here.
- Titus promo:
Literally what. Was this a rib or something?
- HM vs. Ascension:
I was going to say HM better hope they don't end up like their opponents here, but Konnor and Viktor have gotten steady work so I guess it could be worse.
I'm glad the Worm continued. I wonder what Scotty thinks?
Pretty fun.
- Roode/Gable vs. Revival:
Well at least Hawkins can't lose this match, right?
Pretty fun work.
Hahaha can't fool Hawkins.
If The Revival lose to Hawkins, I'll officially believe the "burial" rumors.
- Post-match:
I unironically marked out for the Hawkins/Ryder reunion.
- Ronda interview:
I like Rousey's persona.
- Sasha promo:
I like her firing back like that.
- Ronda/Natalya vs. Sasha/Bayley:
Sasha's bold.
Nice work here.
Both teams working together well.
I like what all four women bring to the table.
That was good!
- Post-match:
Good sell for Sunday.
More wrestling coming up.
