Amazing how a simple little brawl where the baby faces stand tall and donβt look like goobers can do. 3 hours of wwe programming is such a slog. Now Iβm ready to watch WWE all access!

I guess whatever this Candice/Nikki storyline is continues? Thankfully, I thought they'd forgotten about it.

White looks good on me, but I can't really wear it because I bleed a lot. No, I won't elaborate. Okay, Jon Moxley. WHO TOLD YOU THAT I'M DOO DOO? WAS IT PHIL! THAT'S IT! PHIL IS TOTALLY DEAD NOW! Sniff...It wasn't me I swear...Please don't kill me... Meanwhile, whilst Moxley is beating up Punk, Renee.. That's for making my husband lose the belt to you bitch.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to finish my Weekly Column or update my site with last week's records between extra hours at work & just being tired because of work, but hopefully, I will get back on track this week & catch up with everything. I apologize.
Here are my Raw Thoughts:
Why did Triple H book so many rematches tonight? Incredible opening segment. I would love to see an 8-Person Tag with The Judgment Day VS The Bloodline, just to see Rhea Ripley beat up Paul Heyman. Roman Reigns made a deal behind The Usos' back to work with The Judgment Day. I love Paul Heyman mentioning Finn Balor's history with Reigns. I love the idea of Kevin Owens, Riddle, & Sami Zayn VS The Judgment Day & Rey Mysterio VS Solo Sikoa. BTW, I can't wait for Owens, Riddle, & Zayn VS The Bloodline at Backlash. We do not have to have Championship Matches on every PPV or Roman Reigns in the main event. He can take Backlash off. Rey Mysterio is making history tonight. He's the 1st WWE Hall of Famer to wrestle 2 weeks in a row on Raw after being inducted & he's the only wrestler in History to team with the father, Rikishi (happened on live events) & wrestle against the son Solo Sikoa. Rey Mysterio VS Solo Sikoa was awesome. Rey has gotten better since he was inducted. Solo showed that he can hang with a Hall of Famer. I love the lWo laying out Te Usos. That would be another fun 6-Man Tag in the future, until The Bloodline laid them out. Stupid segment with The Alpha Academy & Maxxine Dupri. I really hope The Alpha Academy gets split up in the Draft. Gable deserves so much more than to be part of this crap. Cool, Bad Bunny will be back next week. Bianca Belair VS Dakota Kai had a few miscommunication issues, but most of the match was decent. It could be that they do not have a lot of chemistry with each other, as they only wrestled twice before in 2018 & 2019 in NXT. Tomorrow's NXT will be awesome, with North American Championship Match & a Triple Threat Match for the NXT Tag Team Titles. Wes Lee will be making history as he will tie Keith Lee for most NA Title Defenses at 8. Good video on Bronson Reed. Solid promo by The Judgment Day. (BTW forgot to mention it earlier but I love Finn's shirt). Paul Heyman was great as usual. Great segment. I love Cody Rhodes calling out Brock Lesnar just for Adam Pearce & Security to stop him. Cody destroying all of the Security Guards was OK. Then Brock getting paid tons of money to stand there doing nothing wearing a trenchcoat & a cowboy hat. Rhodes VS Lesnar at Backlash will be great. Friday's Smackdown should be great with Xavier Woods VS GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Title & the Women's Tag Team Title Match. And just like that Brock Lesnar is going home with more money in his pocket. Don't we all wish we had a contract like him? For some reason, I thought that Seth Rollins & The Miz have wrestled each other tons of times. They have only wrestled each other 3 times, twice in 2018 & earlier this year back in February on Raw. Seth Rollins VS The Miz was a tremendous match. I wasn't expecting it to be that good. Fun segment with Kevin Owens, Riddle, & Sami Zayn. Great recap on Trish Stratus turning on Becky Lynch last week on Raw. Again, I thought that Bobby Lashley & Austin Theory have wrestled each other so many times. They only wrestled each other once earlier this year in January. Bobby Lashley VS Austin Theory was a great match. I had a feeling that Bronson Reed was going to interfere & we weren't going to get a clean finish. It made perfect sense. Technically, Reed splashed Theory first, so Theory should have won by DQ, not Lashley. I love Reed destroying Lashley. BS. Trish Stratus was not the 1st woman to main event Raw. Alundra Blayze & Bertha Faye were the 1st women to main event Raw in October of 1995. Their match was the final match of Raw, that's the main event. Who cares that Shawn Michaels' promo closed the show. Besides the re-writing of history, the rest of Trish Stratus' promo was really good. It made sense that she took out Lita. Everything made sense. And who gives a crap that the boos were piped in. It is great to see heel Trish back. Great promo by Cody Rhodes. Damn, Triple H, after not having a million re-matches like in the past, we got 3 re-matches tonight from matches that have taken place earlier this year. We just saw Candice LeRae & Mia Yim VS Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green a few weeks ago. I don't know what happened to the Women's Division tonight, but tha match was not good at all. I am not looking forward to Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez VS Deville & Green after that. Weird segment with Rick Boogs, Elias, The Street Profits, Baron Corbin, & Akira Tozawa. I hope Corbin doesn't get drafted at all. Good promo by The Usos with Solo Sikoa looking tough behind them. Kevin Owens, Riddle, & Sami Zayn VS The Judgment Day was an incredible main event. I love that it was a clean finish. I love the LWO coming out & the chaos to end Raw. It brings back memories of the Attitude Era & Gang Warfare.
Here are my RAW Match Rankings: 1) Seth Rollins VS The Miz 2) Kevin Owens, Riddle, & Sami Zayn VS The Judgment Day 3) Rey Mysterio VS Solo Sikoa 4) Bobby Lashley VS Austin Theory 5) Bianca Belair VS Dakota Kai 6) Candice LeRae & Mia Yim VS Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green
Besides the Women's Matches, a solid Raw even if we have seen most of the matches this year. I loved everything. All of the men's matches were great. Everything had a point & wasn't a waste of time. Backlash looks like it will be another excellent PPV.
Oh. I didn't change the channel. Watching a few minutes of Race To Survive: Alaska on USA Network didn't destroy any brain cells, unlike 30 seconds of the Criminals on Chrisley Knows Best.

Kevin Owens rly decided to take Damien Priest's whole spine away with like 10 seconds left on the broadcast. This man has been looking sexy all night and you do that to him.
AND NOT FIGURATIVELY I MEAN OH MY GOD I HOPE DAMIEN PRIEST IS STILL OF THE WALKING PERSUASION

What happened with IYO vs Belair? Wasnβt that supposed to be tonight? Bianca beat Dakota earlier tonight. I believe the Iyo match is for an unspecified later date (though assumed to be Backlash). If it does end up being at Backlash than at least I should get a decent women's match to see.
