RAW was a mediocre show that had some redeeming qualities but for the most part again, it was a mediocre show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.
WHAT'S GOOD
Dean Ambrose vs Drew McIntyre
Good match. It was surprisingly hard hitting in my opinion but there was a dumb babyface moment where dean jumped from a ring post and Drew reversed it and instead Dean hit himself on the barricade. After that, Drew hit the claymore kick and wins the match.
The opening segment
Overall, the segment was pretty good but the most interesting thing I've noticed in this segment was Roman Reigns' promo before Strowman showed up. In my opinion, he has come a LONG way in terms of mic skills. Don't get me wrong he's not "the best talker in WWE right now" but he has improved a lot. But that didn't stop me from thinking that the main event of that show was boring as hell.
Lio rush. That is all.
My goodness, him reversing and dodging moves from Elias and Kevin Owens like I'm playing the spiderman ps4 game all over again was entertaining to watch. By far, the best thing on that show. Kudos to Lio Rush.
WHAT'S OK
Chad Gable vs Victor of the Ascension
This match was one big meh. Chad wins with his modified German suplex with a bridge. After the match, Connor of the Ascension beats both gable and Roode and walks out of the ring. Whatever.
Undertaker shows up on RAW
The promo he cut was okay but the noteworthy moment in that promo was that Shawn Michaels will be on Triple H's corner while the mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee Kane will be on Undertaker's corner because it is a possibility that Michaels will interfere in that match and Kane being there to even the odds actually makes a lot of sense and for that I'm fine with it.
However, I hope to God that Michaels will not come out of retirement just so he could be in a tag team match with Hunter as his partner vs the brothers of destruction at the crown jewel event on November 2.
Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental championship
Honestly speaking, they had better matches. It's an Okay match in my opinion. Seth Rollins wins here and retains the championship with the stomp.
WHAT'S BAD
Bayley vs Dana Brooke
Why? Because it is a waste of my time that's why. Bayley wins with the Bayley to belly finish.
Another AOP squash match.
The title above says it all. They win with that double powerbomb signature move. I mean I get the tag team division is very thin in terms of credibility and the fact that they got little to no teams but come on. Have them at least face against teams like the B team but what can you do?
Ronda Rousey's "open challenge"
The reason why I use air quotes in the word "open challenge" is because Natalya's music hits and instead it was the riott squad dragging her and Ruby accepted Rousey's challenge until Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan got involved. To my surprise (sarcasm of course) the Bella twins came out to ring and saved Ronda. Can WWE just do something creative with their women's division on RAW right now because at this point, I'm beyond uninterested.
Roman Reigns vs Baron Corbin for the universal championship
Like I said earlier, the main event was boring. It was so boring that I actually almost fall asleep during this match. Roman Reigns wins with the almighty, the all-powerful spear.
