Mandysawa vs. Nikkisawa is THE dream match. Mandy's great, she's the Toxic Leader. That said, she ain't the Lioness. Paws up. I'm banned from the Toxic Lounge again, aren't I? YOU WERE NEVER ALLOWED IN IT!

Jon Cryer has made millions of dollars from being on TV, but he played Charlie Sheen's stupid little loser of a brother, so I find myself feeling bad for him. But he was also an excellent Lex Luthor in Supergirl. But he also FAILED to get with Molly Ringwald in Pretty In Pink.

I would've liked for it to be Gable, too, but I'm starting to come around on Miz winning it. This show needs some kind of change besides Punk coming in. I think its going to happen but both Gunther & Roman dropping the titles at WrestleMania would feel counter productive. Two long ass title runs ending on the same show would cause Gunther finally losing to be overshadowed. This is mainly wishcasting but I could see it at Elimination Chamber. Rhea isn't losing the title there and it's a worthy place for it to happen. Would leave the door open for Brock as a surprise WM opponent. Gunther beats him and is positioned as a World challenger for Backlash or Bash in Berlin.

Some Kind of Wonderful also slaps!

Here are my Raw Thoughts & Facts & Stats:
I was busy this weekend decorating my house for Christmas so I didn't have time to do my Weekly Column, but darrenswinloss.wordpress.com is updated with all of last week's results.
Good promo by Jey Uso. Nice response by Drew McIntyre. Love his comments about CM Punk. Sami Zayn deserves some time off, so it's good they did the injury angle to write him off. Jey Uso VS Drew McIntyre was an awesome match. I love that it got so much time. FACTS: This will be the 1st time that Jey Uso wrestled 2 Singles Match in back-to-back weeks on Raw since he lost to Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford on 6/20 & 6/27/22. This was the 1st time that Drew McIntyre wrestled 2 weeks in a row since he defeated The Miz & JD McDonagh on 10/2 & 10/9. This was the 4th 1-on-1 Match between them after 11/13/20 Smackdown, 9/18/23 Raw & 11/20/23 Raw, which were all won by McIntyre. Good recap of Punk's amazing promo on Smackdown. The only thing I'm mad about with Punk coming back is that it screws GUNTHER out of a main event & a World Heavyweight Championship Match at WrestleMania, which I really thought was going to happen. Awesome Shinsuke Nakamura video. Love the graphics. Uh oh more dissension in The Judgment Day. I hope Dominik Mysterio doesn't end up winning the North American Title back tomorrow like he did last time with an impromptu re-match. Love R-Truth with The Creeds & Alpha Academy. He gets funnier every week. Maxxine Dupri VS Rhea Ripley was short, which I expected it to be. But if it's going to lead to Ivy Nile VS Ripley down the road, then it was worth it. FACTS: This was Maxxine Dupri's 1st 1-on-1 Match since she defeated Valhalla on 7/31. This was Rhea Ripley's 1st Raw since she wrestled Shayna Baszler to a No Contest on 10/16. Cool video on Kayden Carter & Katana Chance. Nice focus on the Women's Tag Division. Another excellent CM Punk Promo. Loved every word. Since he mentioned Mickie James, I would love to see both her & AJ Lee in the Royal Rumble as they never wrestled each other. Love the intensity in Seth Rollins in his promo against Punk. By the way, they wrestled once before (Punk defeated Rollins on 12/30/13 Raw). I love Punk being in the Rumble to start the build for WrestleMania. Solid video on Bronson Reed VS Ivar. Bronson Reed VS Ivar was a fun match. I really thought they were going to do a ring collapse spot with that Superplex. Love CM Punk's interaction with The Judgment Day. Punk does have history with Dominik Mysterio during the SES Days. FACTS: This was Bronson Reed & Ivar's 1st Raw since they wrestled each other to a Double Count Out on 11/27, making this their 2nd match against each other. Cool The Rock was on Raw (in a commercial for Acorn). Great segment with The Judgment Day & R-Truth (who was hilarious until he got beat) & The Creed Brothers who showed they can stand toe-to-toe with The Judgment Day. Wow. Pearce made Seth Rollins VS Drew McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Title on Raw on 1/1. Nice faceoff with McIntyre & CM Punk. LOL cool reunion with Kofi Kingston & Punk. Kingston VS Chad Gable VS Ricochet for the #1 Contendership for the IC Title? Nice. Indi Hartwell & Candice LeRae VS Kayden Carter & Katana Chance was a short match but good. I love this push for Carter & Chance. Chelsea Green & Piper Niven were OK on Commentary. FACTS: This was Indi Hartwell & Candice LeRae's 1st 2-on-2 Tag Team Match together since they lost the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship to Io Shirai & Zoey Stark on NXT on 7/6/21 & 1st on Raw. This was the 1st time in their Career that Kayden Carter & Katana Chance wrestled 2 2-on-2 Tag Team Matches in back-to-back weeks on Raw. This was the 2nd 2-on-2 Tag Team Match between them after NXT on 11/18/20, which was won by Hartwell & LeRae, so they each won 1 match. Nice little segment with DIY (or as Michael Cole said DYI) & Imperium. I spotted Nikki Cross again in the background as Becky Lynch was heading to the ring. Besides Becky Lynch's promo & her line about Nia Jax's knees, what a crappy segment. What's worse than a Nia Jax match? A Nia Jax promo.I really wished I didn't do all of my research for the rest of Raw so I wouldn't have had to pay attention to this, but I had nothing else to do. Cool Cody Rhodes' promo. So much history in Cleveland. #DIY & The Miz VS Imperium was awesome. FACTS: This was Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano's 1st 6-Man Tag Team Match together since they & Adam Cole lost to Aleister Black, Ricochet, & The Velveteen Dream at NXT Halftime Heat on 2/3/19, which was Gargano's last 6-Man Tag but Ciampa teamed with The Alpha Academy to defeat Imperium on Raw on 9/11, which was Imperium's last 6-Man Tag & GUNTHER's last loss. This was The Miz's 1st Tag Match of any kind since he & Ciampa defeated Bobby Lashley & AJ Styles by DQ on Raw on 8/22/22 & 1st 6-Man Tag since he, Elias, & Jaxson Ryker lost to Damian Priest, Kofi Kingston, & Xavier Woods on 4/26/21. Sorry, I didn't do the research to find out the last time 2 people from the same city teamed together in that city with Johnny Gargano & The Miz both being from Cleveland. This was GUNTHER's 8th loss of 2023, as he only lost in the Royal Rumble, Tag Matches & in 1 Singles Match to Chad Gable by Count Out. Next week's Raw looks good with both the Men's & Women's Tag Team Championships being defended. More issues with Imperium. Interesting twist with The Miz not being allowed to challenge for the IC Title as long as GUNTHER is Champ if he loses their next match. Cody Rhodes VS Shinsuke Nakamura was excellent. I guess their feud will be continuing. Maybe Cody won't be in the Royal Rumble or he will do double-duty and wrestle Nakamura before the Rumble. I wasn't expecting The Creeds to make the save. FACTS: This was Cody Rhodes' 1st Raw since he & Jey Uso lost to The Judgment Day on 11/13, 1st 1-on-1 Match since he defeated Damian Priest at Crown Jewel on 11/4, & 1st on Raw since he defeated Dominik Mysterio on 9/18. This was the 1st time in his WWE Career that Cody Rhodes wrestled a Japanese Wrestler in a 1-on-1 Match. This was Shinsuke Nakamura's 1st Raw since he defeated Chad Gable on 11/20 & the 1st time he's wrestling someone other than a member of The Alpha Academy, Ricochet, Seth Rollins, or Bronson Reed in a 1-on-1 Match since he defeated Tommaso Ciampa on 7/31.
Here are my Raw Match Rankings: 1) Cody Rhodes VS Shinsuke Nakamura 2) Jey Uso VS Drew McIntyre 3) #DIY & The Miz VS Imperium 4) Bronson Reed VS Ivar 5) Indi Hartwell & Candice LeRae VS Kayden Carter & Katana Chance 6) Maxxine Dupri VS Rhea Ripley
Overall another great Raw. There was only 1 segment that I didn't like because of the one person on the entire roster that I don't like. The best promo segment was the Rollins-Punk segment. I can't wait for the rest of the year & then how they build the Royal Rumble & WrestleMania.
Ends Raw Thoughts, Facts, & Stats. For more, visit darrenswinloss.wordpress.com which will be updated with this week's results later this week. And since he's officially in the Royal Rumble, visit darrenswinloss.wordpress.com/wwerr2 to see CM Punk's Royal Rumble History.
Enjoy 2 hours of Barmageddon. I will watch the regular episode tomorrow on DVR. I already saw the Christmas episode last week when it aired on NBC.

I've never seen Hiding Out. I've actually never seen Pretty In Pink, either. My mom loves all things John Hughes so I saw just about all of his movies growing up. Pretty in Pink is probably my favorite. Some Kind of Wonderful also slaps! I love The Breakfast Club and Weird Science.
