Here are my Raw Thoughts:
I get WWE being petty given that Dave Hebner left on bad terms, but he should be honored just as much as Tim White. They both did great things behind the scenes, not just as referees.
Good thing I don't do my facts ahead of time or else I would have wasted my day getting my facts for Asuka VS Becky Lynch. Instead we're getting a 5-Way. It sucks that Rhea Ripley is hurt. But why is Carmella in the match? She hasn't been around in months.
A pretty good segment with Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, Asuka, Liv Morgan, Carmella, & Alexa Bliss to set-up the 5-Way Match. I'm glad they are doing it now since they are ready to fight instead of having them come out later.
Asuka VS Alexa Bliss VS Carmella VS Becky Lynch VS Liv Morgan was a fun Fatal 5-Way. I'm glad they gave a lot of time. Damn it, the wrong person won. We have seen Carmella VS Bianca Belair 6 times & Bianca won all 6 times. So stupid. And to make it worse, Carmella has won only 1 match in 2022, a Tag Team Match with Queen Zelina against Nikki A.S.H. & Rhea Ripley on January 3. I really wish WWE paid attention to Wins & Losses.
Really, the egotistical asshole is on Raw too with the idiotic fans chanting for him. Get the hell off of TV, you piece of crap. Vince McMahon can't even get out of the ring. I hope he tears his quads again. And to make it worse, it was after a 20 minute women's match. What BS.
Very good Riddle promo. LOL at the Snoop Dogg mention by MVP. (OMG, they mentioned Sasha's cousin. That means she's coming back. LOL).
Riddle VS Omos was OK. I thought that Riddle would win & that's his loophole to get another shot at Roman Reigns. Omos in MITB could be very interesting.
A very weird Seth Rollinsβ promo as usual. I like Riddle getting his revenge for a minute until Rollins got him again. I hope Rollins wins #MITB & he repeats what he did at WM 31 & interrupts Lesnar VS Reigns to make it a Triple Threat again.
A decent Theory promo. But, enough with the pose downs. If they want to do this crap, bring back the WBF. I did like that part with Theory taking the Selfie and seeing Bobby Lashley & then the Spear was good.
Good Theory promo. I like him asking where Kevin Patrick came from. I like the idea of Lashley winning a Gauntlet Match to earn a US Title Match.
Good Usos promo. I feel so bad for the ring crew that have to clean up all of those Solo Cups. What a waste of plastic. Thank you for ruining the environment, Street Profits. Their response was OK.
Angelo Dawkins VS Jey Uso was a great match. I loved the finishing sequence.
Awesome they did the Elias & Ezekiel segment like the 3 Faces of Foley Promo in 1997, which is one of my Favorite Promos of All-Time.
Hilarious segment with Kevin Owens, Elias, & Ezekiel. This storyline started so stupid, but it is one of my favorites right now. I guess we're getting a Symphony of Destruction Match between them at MITB.
Bobby Lashley VS Chad Gable was short but good. I would love to see a 20 minute match between 2 of the best amateur wrestlers on the WWE Roster. Lashley VS Otis was another fun match that I want to see a longer match but without the Disqualification, which of course won't count in my Records since it is part of a Gauntlet Match & not a regular match. I like Bobby Lashley overcoming the odds to outsmart Theory to get his US Title Match. And again, since it was part of a Gauntlet Match, MITB will count as the 1st ever 1-on-1 match between them. It is awesome that the US Title will be defended 2 PPVs in a row.
Good promo by Bianca Belair & nice attack by Carmella. I still donβt want to see it again.
Great segment with The Miz & AJ Styles. Again Ciampa doing Mizβs dirty work. Now they are going to waste the 1st ever 1-on-1 match between Styles & Ciampa in a thrown together match that will be over in 2 minutes since Ciampa has been treated as a joke.
AJ Styles VS Ciampa was good, but should have been longer with a different outcome since Ciampa needs some wins. At least, McMahon didn't punish Styles for appearing on Slammiversary even though he was given permission.
Veer Mahaan should not be doing promos. He needs a manager to do the talking for him. He needs to just wrestle and destroy people. What a brutal segment.
I really hope itβs Elrod who wrestles Kevin Owens next week.
During the commercial, I watched the great Tim White Tribute Video that WWE released. They should have aired on Raw instead of that horrible Mahaan promo. They should have also done one for Dave Hebner, who was the 3rd man in the match that made me a wrestling fan, Steamboat VS Savage at WM 3.
Another classic match between Asuka & Becky Lynch. They have such great chemistry. I never can get tired of them wrestling each other. I like Becky going crazy, but they can still do a Last Chance MITB Qualifier as they have done in the past so she can be in the match.
Ends a very good Raw. I loved the Fatal 5-Way Women's Match, Dawson VS Jey, the Gauntlet, & Asuka VS Lynch. The best promo was the Elias/Ezekiel/Owens Segment. I didn't like the segment with someone that shouldn't be on TV right now & Veer's promo.
