Pearce yelling that at the hardcam was hilarious.

And the faces win because Seth would be cashed in on if they didn't and Priest is never going to use that f***ing briefcase.

"If the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em."
Now someone needs to upload this segment with "The Boys Are Back in Town" playing.

Pearce thinks he's Jigsaw now. At least he's not Jigsaw!

I actually thought the ending was cool if we hadn’t seen it so much lately. It felt chaotic.

My takeaway from all of this is that there’s no debating Cody is the company’s top guy. No but people still insist that the crowd would turn on Cody if they push him too hard because "he hasn't suffered enough" or "it'd look manufactured" or "people won't relate to him"...

The one guy on this House of Villains show looks like Dolph Ziggler from the two weeks when he was "new and improved".

Actually intrigued if Drew gets involved in the match somehow. It feels like he should be but I don't know how.

Here are my Raw Thoughts, Facts, & Stats.
But first, I would like to apologize for not having my records done as between Crown Jewel taking my day on Saturday & Sunday being a day to relax, so it will be another 2-week column next week.
Excellent opening segment with Seth Rollins & Sami Zayn. I love Rollins giving Zayn a World Heavyweight Championship Match & they're not going to wait. It's tonight. Interesting conversation with The Judgment Day. The New Day VS The Judgment Day was an excellent match. I would love to see another match for the Tag Team Championship. FACT: This was the 1st ever 2-on-2 Match between The New Day & The Judgment Day and the 1st ever match between 2 teams with Day in their names. Interesting segment with Drew McIntyre. Akira Tozawa VS Shinsuke Nakamura was short but pretty fun. Otis VS Nakamura will be great if they do it. FACT: This was the 1st 1-on-1 match between 2 Japanese Male wrestlers in WWE since Tozawa VS Hideo Itami on 205 Live on 1/29/19, which was Tozawa's last match against a fellow Japanese wrestler. This was the 1st time Nakamura has ever wrestled another Japanese wrestler in WWE. This was the 1st 1-on-1 Match between 2 Japanese Male wrestlers on Raw since Taka Michinoku VS Sho Funaki on 6/1/98. Awesome, both Rhea Ripley VS the Winner of the Battle Royal & GUNTHER VS the Winner of the 4-Way Match will be at Survivor Series & not on a random episode of Raw. Great video on Natalya. Awesome video on the Intercontinental Championship Contenders with Adam Pearce. Ivar VS The Miz VS Bronson Reed VS Ricochet was incredible. I love the finish. Erik getting hurt was a blessing in disguise for Ivar, who has shined in Singles action. I didn't care who won but Miz deserves an IC Title Shot. FACT: This was the 1st Fatal 4-Way on Raw since 8/7. This was Ivar's 1st 4-Way Match in his Career. This was The Miz's 13th 4-Way Match in his Career & 1st since Smackdown on 7/1/22 (loss to Moss along with Ezekiel & Happy Corbin) & was his 1st Fatal 4-Way win since he defeated Cesaro, Kevin Owens, & Sami Zayn to retain the IC Title (5/22/16 Extreme Rules). His 4-Way Record is 4-9. This was Ricochet's 6th 4-Way Match in his Career & 1st since 8/7 Raw (loss to Gable along with Tommaso Ciampa & Matt Riddle). His 4-Way Record is 1-5. This was Bronson Reed's 1st 4-Way Match in his Career. The Creed Brothers video was good. I love them & Ivy Nile signing with Raw & setting up their match with DIY. DIY VS The Creed Brothers was tremendous. I didn't mind Ludwig Kaiser's interference to continue the feud with DIY & Imperium. FACT: This was the 1st time since they defeated TM-61 on 1/4/17 & The Revival on 1/11/17 on NXT that DIY wrestled 2 Tag Team Matches in consecutive weeks. This was the 1st time since they defeated Drew Gulak & Hank Walker & lost to Indus Sher on 1/24 & 1/31/23 on NXT that The Creed Brothers wrestled 2 Tag Team Matches in consecutive weeks. How can they put these video packages together for Sami Zayn if we didn't know he was going to wrestle Seth Rollins until an hour ago? Good segment with Sami & Jey Uso. Jey & Cody Rhodes VS The Judgment Day next week will be good. Becky Lynch's promo was great. Nia Jax sucked but Becky's line about Nia being fired was good. The segment with Chelsea Green, Piper Niven, Shayna Baszler, & Zoey Stark were OK. I like Xia Li attacking Becky Lynch & Adam Pearce taking Xia out of the match. The Battle Royal was fun. Everyone had their chance to shine. Ivy Nile had a great showing in her debut. I like Zoey Stark winning. I thought they would have had Becky Lynch return to win. Therefore, Becky's lone Battle Royal remains as the Women's Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34 on 4/8/18. FACT: This was the 1st Battle Royal on Raw since 5/15 & 1st Women's Battle Royal on Raw since 10/12/20. This was Shayna Baszler's 4th Battle Royal & 1st since Raw on 10/12/20. This was Kayden Carter's 5th Battle Royal & 1st since NXT on 7/19/22. This was Katana Chance's 4th Battle Royal & 1st since NXT on 7/19/22. This was Nikki Cross' 6th Battle Royal & 1st since Raw on 10/12/20. This was both Maxxine Dupri & Chelsea Green's 1st Battle Royal in their Career. This was Indi Hartwell's 5th Battle Royal & 1st since NXT on 1/10. This was Nia Jax's 3rd Battle Royal & 1st since Raw on 10/12/20. This was Natalya's 16th Battle Royal & 1st since Raw on 10/12/20. This was Piper Niven's 3rd Battle Royal & 1st since NXT UK on 6/19/19. This was Ivy Nile's 4th Battle Royal & 1st since NXT on 1/10, her Raw debut, & she also made her NXT debut in a Battle Royal. This was Tegan Nox's 3rd Battle Royal & 1st since Smackdown on 8/14/20. This was Raquel Rodriguez's 5th Battle Royal & 1st since NXT on 9/23/20. This was Zoey Stark's 3rd Battle Royal & 1st since NXT on 1/10. Good segment with Rhea Ripley & Zoey Stark. They should have a great match at Survivor Series. Solid Raw next week with: Miz VS Ivar, Nox VS Niven, Otis V Nakamura, & Rhodes & Uso VS Judgment Day for Tag Titles. Cool video on John Cena. I think he's done with WWE as AEW mentioned his name on Dynamite. He's going to AEW. LOL (I know they did it to promote Wipeout). Seth Rollins VS Sami Zayn was incredible. I thought we would get a short match until The Judgment Day interfered. Instead they killed it out there & then Judgment Day came out. I love that The Judgment Day were in their street clothes so Damian Priest didn't have his briefcase to cash in. The brawl with Rollins, Zayn, Cody Rhodes, & Jey Uso & The Judgment Day was unbelievable. I love Adam Pearce with his best William Regal impression announcing War Games. But didn't the commercial announce that 10 men will enter War Games? So, who's going to join each team? Trivia: Cody Rhodes will be the 3rd 2nd generation wrestler to be in a War Games Match after his brother, Dustin & Bron Breakker. FACT: This was the 1st World Heavyweight Championship Match on Raw since Seth Rollins VS Damian Priest on 6/5. This was Seth Rollins’ 8th World Heavyweight Championship Defense, so if he would have lost, he would have been the 1st to lose in his 8th Defense which is the Most Defenses of All-Time. As of Raw, Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship Reign has lasted 163 Days, so if he would have lost, he would have been the 1st to lose in 163 Days, which is both the Shortest & Longest Reign of All-Time. If Sami Zayn would have won, he would have been the 2nd 1st-time World Heavyweight Champion in a row & the 2nd in a row to be a former NXT Champion, Intercontinental Champion, & Raw Tag Team Champion & 1st to be a former Smackdown Tag Team Champion. This was the 6th 1-on-1 Match between them after 6/23/16 SD, 8/1/16 RAW, 8/22/16 Raw (all won by Rollins), 1/23/17 Raw (won by Zayn), & 5/27/19 Raw (won by Rollins), so Rollins won 5 & Zayn won 1.
Here are my RAW Match Rankings: 1) Seth Rollins VS Sami Zayn 2) Ivar VS The Miz VS Bronson Reed VS Ricochet 3) DIY VS The Creed Brothers 4) The New Day VS The Judgment Day 5) Women's Battle Royal 6) Akira Tozawa VS Shinsuke Nakamura
Ends an unbelievable Raw. I loved every single thing. All of the matches, promos, videos. I am so pumped for Survivor Series. Also, I have to give props to everyone for performing at that level 48 hours after flying halfway around the world.

I love how Pearce is like “I’VE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH THIS” with the faces v Judgment Day thing… Isn’t he the one meant to be booking the show, technically? Like, you keep putting them against each other, they’re gonna f***in’ fight, you know?
Dumbass. No wonder Aldis managed to get Kairi Sane back.
