A really fun RAW, great debuts for all of the NXT Talents, especially DIY VS The Revival, which was the best match of the night, some weird segments as well, but overall, a good start to continue the next chapter to WrestleMania.
Here are the facts for RAW:
- Braun Strowman VS Baron Corbin was the 1st Tables Match of 2019, Strowman’s 1st Raw opener since January 21, Corbin’s 1st Raw opener of 2019, & was the 1st match of 2019 to take place on PPV & then re-matched on Raw the next night, the 1st match to be re-matched from Elimination Chamber, & their 1st re-match overall
- Finn Balor & Ricochet VS Bobby Lashley & Lio Rush was Ricochet’s Raw debut & the 1st time that Balor & Ricochet teamed up
- The Lucha House Party VS Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder was the 1st time that Lince Dorado & Gran Metalik teamed up in a 2-on-2 Tag Team Match in 2019
- Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa VS The Revival was Gargano & Ciampa’s Raw debut, & Ciampa was the 1st ever defending NXT Champion to compete on Raw
- Dean Ambrose VS Drew McIntyre was the 1st time that Ambrose wrestled someone other than Seth Rollins or EC3 in a 1-on-1 Singles Match on Raw in 2019
- Aleister Black VS Elias was Black’s Raw debut
- Ronda Rousey VS Ruby Riott was the 4th Raw Women’s Championship Match of 2019 & the 2nd night in a row, Rousey’s 1st Raw main event since January 21, Riott’s 1st Raw main event of 2019, the 2nd match to be re-matched from Elimination Chamber, & the 2nd match to take place on PPV & then re-matched on Raw the next night, & was their 1st re-match overall
I stand corrected. I should have done my research first. Tommaso Ciampa is not the 1st ever defending NXT Champion to wrestle on Raw. Kevin Owens defeated Neville on Raw on 6/8/15. I apologize for the error.
