I haven’t seen someone screw their sibling this hard since the last time I visited spankbang.

Here are my RAW Thoughts: Wow, no Michael Cole tonight. Kevin Patrick gets another shot at being on Raw. Good opening promo by Sami Zayn. Good response by The Judgment Day & good save by Jey Uso. I like what's going on between Sami Zayn & Jey Uso. I'm interested in seeing what happens next. Ricochet VS Shinsuke Nakamura was incredible. Ricochet is a real life Superman, jumping off of everything. FACT: This was Ricochet's 2nd Falls Count Anywhere Match in his Career & 1st since he defeated John Morrison on Raw on 7/12/21. This was Shinsuke Nakamura's 1st Falls Count Anywhere Match in his Career. This was the 5th 1-on-1 Match between them, making it the most re-matched match of 2023. Ricochet won on 6/26 & 9/4, Nakamura won on 9/18 by DQ, & their match on 6/5 ended in a NC, so they each won 2 matches. OK segment with Chelsea Green, Piper Niven, Tegan Nox, Kayden Carter, Katana Chance, & Nikki Cross. Natalya VS Piper Niven was pretty good. I like Tegan Nox returning the favor & saving Natalya. Natalya & Nox VS Niven & Chelsea Green could be a good Women's Tag Team Title Match. FACT: This was Piper Niven's 1st 1-on-1 Match since she defeated Dana Brooke on Main Event on 5/4 & 1st on Raw since she defeated Nikki Cross on 3/6. This was the 2nd 1-on-1 Match between them after Niven as Doudrop defeated Natalya on Raw on 10/11/21. Another good segment with The Judgment Day. Great segment with Seth Rollins & Drew McIntyre. I love them showing what happened last week with Drew & Rhea Ripley. I think this segment might be the 1st time that 2 men with skirts were in the same ring since The Headbangers back in the day. Rey Mysterio VS Logan Paul could be an excellent match if it takes place at Crown Jewel. Johnny Gargano VS Ludwig Kaiser was excellent. I like Gargano's tributes to Tommaso Ciampa & the problems between Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci. FACT: This was Johnny Gargano's 1st match since the #1 Contender's Battle Royal on Raw on 5/15, 1st 1-on-1 match since he defeated Grayson Waller at Stand & Deliver on 4/1, & 1st 1-on-1 on Raw since he lost to Dominik Mysterio on 3/20. Kaiser now joins Giovanni Vinci as the 2nd member of Imperium to wrestle both members of DIY (Kaiser as Fabian Aichner defeated Gargano on NXT on 11/1/17.). Good segment with Becky Lynch, Indi Hartwell, & Candice LeRae. But Indi lost the Triple Threat to Lyra Valkyria, so she shouldn't be allowed to get another opportunity at the NXT Women's Title. Love the tease with Becky & Rhea Ripley. Great segment with Sami Zayn & Drew McIntyre. Zayn VS McIntyre will be awesome as they have had great matches in the past. Decent promo by Rhea Ripley. Shayna Baszler VS Rhea Ripley was great. I love Baszler's counter to the Riptide. Then of course Nia Jax & her Hole had to ruin the match. Then Raquel Rodriguez & Zoey Stark got involved. And it's another No Contest. I guess we're getting a 5-Way at Crown Jewel. FACT: This was the 4th 1-on-1 Match between them after NXT on 9/11/19 (won by Baszler by DQ), NXT on 12/18/19 (Ripley def Baszler to win the NXT Women's Title), & Raw on 8/30/21 (won by Ripley), so Ripley won 2, Baszler won 1, & 1 No Contest. I hope Shawn Michaels doesn't approve of Becky Lynch VS Indi Hartwell since she doesn't deserve a Women's Title Match. Xia Li should not get a Title Match either. She's 0-10 in 2023. I like Becky & Jade Cargill meeting to tease a future match. Fun interview with Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso. Bronson Reed VS GUNTHER was incredible. I thought they were going to do the ring collapsing spot after that superplex. I would love to see more of these 2 monsters going at it. FACT: This was GUNTHER’s 17th Intercontinental Championship Defense tying Mr. Perfect who lost to Bret Hart at SummerSlam on 8/26/91 for 7th Most Intercontinental Championship Defenses. As of Raw, GUNTHER’s Intercontinental Championship Reign has lasted 493 Days, which is the Longest Reign of All-Time. If Bronson Reed would have won, he would have been the 3rd 1st-time Champion in a row, the 2nd to be a former NXT North American Champion after Ricochet in 2022, & 1st Australian Intercontinental Champion in History. This was the 1st match between an Austrian & Australian in WWE History. Funny promo by The Miz. And again, Nia Jax & her hole ruined that too. Wow. They have come a long way in Saudi Arabia. From no Women's Matches at all to a 5-Way Match for the Women's Title. Damn, Jinder Mahal & Indus Sher is back. Hilarious segment with Akira Tozawa, The Alpha Academy, & The New Day. Chad Gable is right. The New Day & The Alpha Academy have wrestled in 4-Ways & 6-Man Tags, but never in a 2-on-2 Match. Worst decision ever by Shawn Michaels & Adam Pearce. Indi Hartwell lost her opportunity to get a NXT Women's Title Match when she didn't win the Triple Threat. She shouldn't get one next week. What's the point of doing #1 Contender's Match if anyone can get a title match? Kudos to Kofi Kingston for doing that for the children of Ghana. He's an incredible human being. Wow, GUNTHER is angry that Ludwig Kaiser didn't get the job done & injure Johnny Gargano. Gargano VS Giovanni Vinci wil be great next week. Damn. Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso VS The Judgment Day was an excellent match, but stupid finish. First, WWE was doing these long Title Reigns. Now, we're getting short reigns. Jimmy Uso interfering made sense, but I wanted a longer Tag Title Reign for them with one of their defenses being against Jimmy & Solo. FACT: This was the 1st time since The New Day defended against The Hurt Business on 11/16 & 11/23 that the Raw Tag Team Championship was defended 2 weeks in a row & the 1st time since The Dirty Dawgs defended against The Alpha Academy, The Mysterios, & The Street Profits on 4/9 & The Street Profits on 4/16/21 that the Smackdown Tag Titles were defended 2 weeks in a row. This was the 1st time that Cody Rhodes wrestled in 2 2-on-2 Tag Team Matches in consecutive weeks on Raw since he & Goldust lost to The New Day (Big E & Kofi) on 2/9 & (Kofi & Xavier) on 2/16/15. This was Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso’s 3rd Raw Tag Team Championship Defense, so since they lost, they are the 1st since RK-Bro who lost to The Usos on Smackdown on May 20, 2022 to lose in their 3rd Defense & the 1st since The Dirty Dawgs who lost to The Mysterios at Backlash on May 16, 2021 to lose in their 3rd Smackdown Tag Team Championship Defense. As of Smackdown, Rhodes & Uso’s Reign lasted 9 Days, which is the 3rd Shortest Raw Tag Team Championship Reign ahead of John Cena & The Miz (2/21/11, lost in Same Day), John Cena & David Otunga (10/24/10-10/25/10, 1 Day), Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater (2/20/11-2/21/11, 1 Day), & Braun Strowman & Nicholas (4/8/18-4/9/18, 1 Day) & 2nd Shortest Smackdown Tag Team Championship Reign ahead of The New Day (10/9/20-10/12/20, 3 Days). If The Judgment Day would have won, they would have been the 13th team to be a 2-time Raw Tag Team Champion & 1st since RK-Bro & the 3rd team to be a 2-time Smackdown Tag Team Champion after The New Day & The Usos.
Here are my Raw Match Rankings: 1) Bronson Reed VS GUNTHER 2) Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso VS The Judgment Day 3) Johnny Gargano VS Ludwig Kaiser 4) Ricochet VS Shinsuke Nakamura 5) Shayna Baszler VS Rhea Ripley 6) Natalya VS Piper Niven
Overall another fun Raw. I loved everything except for anything with Nia Jax & her hole. But there were a few questionable decisions that I didn't like, but I'm still interested in seeing what happens. Crown Jewel should be great.
