Quick Results:

  • The Creed Brothers defeat Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee in a tornado tag team match. Don’t know that we really needed that added stipulation. Was an OK match.
  • Bron Breakker and Ludwig Kaiser wound up being thrown out when Sheamus attacked Kaiser, setting up a match on Saturday.
  • Judgement Day defeat War Raiders, retaining their rarely defended titles in the process. I have questions here…
  • Akira Tozawa and Otis defeat the New Day. More tension and issues between Kofi and Xavier, but don’t worry-next week is the ten year celebration of the team. Will this give them their Barbershop moment? Or will Big E return to keep the peace?
  • Bianca Belair defeats Nia Jax, winning the advantage for her team on Saturday. The win came with a big help from Bayley, who will be the fifth member replacing the injured Jade Cargill.

Best Match:

If only by default, the main event for Nia Jax and Bianca Belair. It was good, not great. I was entertained enough. Bayley helped.

This might be the best chunk of TV time of the evening though…

Worst Match:

The opening tornado tag just didn’t click for me. For the go home edition of RAW, it felt odd to open with a match that, to the best of my knowledge, has nothing to do with any major programs or Saturday.

Similarly, the tag title match disappointed. Judgement Day have been horrible and boring champions. The announcers even pointed out, the belts have been defended 10 times but only twice by JD this year. 10 defenses in a year seems too light. That isn’t even a title defense on most every PLE.

Hopefully the sour ending leads to a rematch soon and a title change, but we shall see.

Noteworthy Moments:

It happened before RAW hit the air, but it did finally happen. As we saw a few weeks back on SmackDown, RAW has a new women’s title inbound. There is now a women’s Intercontinental Championship to be won, and it is long overdue.

My shots against both new belts? One, what took them so long. Two, get new designs because the current belts, at least the big men’s and women’s belts and even the US titles? Boring and tired.

Speaking of belts, we have the LA Knight/Nakamura title match officially official. I believe it wasn’t before? But it was obviously coming.

The New Day tease continues, but it would seem one way or the other it ends next week.

Holy Sh!@ Moments:

I really really hope they gimmicked the corner of the announce table. Because that looked brutal.

That was only topped by the match ending brawl between Breakker, Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser. The brawl led to Adam Pearce announcing a triple threat for the Intercontinental Championship.

The plot thickens between the Wyatt Sicks and Final Testament. We didn’t get the mixed Survivor Series match I had hoped for, but it is progressing.

Lowlights:

Not a fan of the women’s belt design.

Some of this show felt not like a go home edition of RAW. Some was setting up next week’s RAW, which I guess is fine. Just, Saturday is Survivor Series, and that has been one of the fabled “Big 4” shows.

Highlights:

As much as some of tonight’s RAW felt…a little disjointed? It did work in the end. I believe we did get to a strong Survivor Series card, but Saturday will tell the tale. And as much as I wouldn’t have spent so much time on things not relevant to Saturday? We do have something big for next Monday too.

After The Final Bell:

Certainly not the best go-home show we’ve ever gotten. I also do think that the return of Paul Heyman on Friday, and his bringing back CM Punk? That is hard to top.

Lost in the shuffle somehow? Gunther and Priest, which might steal the show.

Overall? Good, not great. But in the past few shows, taped or not? Enough has been done to make me look forward to Survivor Series.
