I still didn't finish my Weekly Records which are now 9 weeks behind, but instead of delaying it a complete week, I should be able to finish it by Wednesday, so I will post it then.
Here are my Raw Thoughts:
I love Becky Lynch appearing out of nowhere to attack Damage CTRL.
Alexa Bliss VS Bayley was great as was their other 10 matches they have had in the past. But after Alexa hit her head, the match got a little disjointed. I hope she's OK & didn't get another concussion now that she's #1 Contender for Bianca Belair. Love what happened afterward with Bray Wyatt's logo.
Funny promo by Chad Gable. Good response by AJ Styles. Love the reference to Karl Anderson being in Japan. And Styles VS Gable will be an amazing match. They only wrestled once on Smackdown on July 4, 2017.
Excellent video package on Austin Theory.
I think the Milwaukee Crowd ate too much cheese today that that they are sleeping. They are so quiet. Wake your asses up. What's the point of spending your money to see Raw live if you're just going to sit there & be quiet? You could've done that at home & save money.
AJ Styles VS Chad Gable was an excellent match. I wish it was longer.
Hilarious segment with Johnny Gargano, Dexter Lumis, & Candice LeRae. I love that Nikki was creeping again in the background.
It's good to see Akira Tozawa being used on a regular basis on Raw instead of being on Main Event or running after the 24/7 Title. Maybe getting rid of the 24/7 Title was a blessing in disguise. OK promos by The Street Profits.
The Street Profits & Akira Tozawa VS The Judgment Day was a fun 6-Man Tag Team Match. The crowd woke up a little. So, I guess the feud between The OC & Judgment Day is over. It didn't have a conclusion.
I love Johnny Gargano & Dexter Lumis buying all of the WWE Merchandise. Dexter is so nice to give that kid the Teddy Bear.
Awesome segment. Lucky fans getting free merchandise by Johnny Gargano & Dexter Lumis. Ha, The Miz tried to take his money back. Adam Pearce was great too. Awesome, Miz VS Lumis in a Ladder Match. OMG, Gargano said the name of an AEW PPV, "Double or Nothing".
Great video on Seth Rollins.
Candice LeRae VS IYO SKY was a really good match. It's good that IYO won cleanly giving her & Dakota Kai momentum against Liv Morgan & Tegan Nox on Friday.
If the rumors are true, it really sucks that Riddle was written of Raw. He had a great year. He wrestled in the most matches on the entire Roster (52), but that could be broken before 2022 is over with Austin Theory & Chad Gable (44), Angelo Dawkins (42), & The Usos (41).
Hysterical segment with Kevin Owens & Elias. I love that they brought up Ezekiel and their feud from earlier this year that was never resolved.
I don't think those rumors are true. Why would they still be talking about someone & giving him this huge tribute by Elias with a song if he failed a wellness test & was sent to rehab? So, that's more Newz crap.
Elias VS Solo Sikoa was decent. I like Sikoa snapping again & doing the Samoan Spike to Elias & then laying him out with a chair until Kevin Owens made the save. I like Sami Zayn holding Solo back. Love KO laying out Elias, keeping to his word that he didn't trust him.
Awesome video on Tribute to The Troops with the John Cena voiceover. Though it doesn't mean anything storyline wise, I always enjoy watching Tribute to The Troops.
More people disrespecting Kevin Patrick on social media. Stop it already. Leave the man alone. He is doing a great job on commentary. He does a fantastic job on Main Event. Triple H wouldn't have picked him to be lead Commentator on Raw if he didn't think he could do the job.
Asuka VS Rhea Ripley was excellent. I love the look of Asuka with no makeup but she still did the mist to Dominik Mysterio & then her reaction after she lost. I love that only Corey Gaves came to his aid. He is starting to get better in his role.
Funny segment with Dominik getting his eyes cleared out & Priest's classic line.
Good promo by Dolph Ziggler. I'm glad that he's being used in a feud for the US Title against Austin Theory.
Another good video, this time on Bobby Lashley.
Damn, Ronda Rousey even sucks in commercials. Who would want to play her in a video games.
The Miz dressed as an Elf was hilarious.
Bobby Lashley VS Seth Rollins was a tremendous match as always. It didn't matter to me who won. The ref bump was a little silly, but it made sense given what happened later. I loved Rollins turning the Spear into a Pedigree to win. I was not expecting Adam Pearce to fire Lashley. I guess the rumors weren't true that Brock Lesnar was going to be on Raw to cost Lashley the match to start their build to the Rumble.
Here are my Raw Match Rankings:
1) The Street Profits & Akira Tozawa VS The Judgment Day
2) Bobby Lashley VS Seth Rollins
3) AJ Styles VS Chad Gable
4) Asuka VS Rhea Ripley
5) Alexa Bliss VS Bayley
6) Candice LeRae VS IYO SKY
7) Elias VS Solo Sikoa
Ends another incredible Raw. I don't think there was anything that I didn't like. All of the matches were good to amazing. I wasn't bored. I stayed awake. I can't wait to see where everything goes next.
