WWE RAW 26/11/18 | My Coherent Review.

I’ve been a fan of pro wrestling more specifically, WWE for 11 years and I’ve never seen RAW this terrible creatively since God knows how long. Now, I know someone is going to say “Well if don’t like RAW, stop watching?” I’ll use an example. 

WWE is like the kid that always gets in trouble, performs badly in his/her tests and I or the fans that don’t the product, are like the parents that no matter how their kid messes up, they somehow feel hopeful that he or she becomes successful in life. 

The reason why I and others watch this show is that they love this product, they love their wrestlers and most importantly they love this business. 

Now, am I saying that their opinion is right? Of course not. To quote in the style of Roman Reigns “ There’s no wrong opinion. There’s no right opinion. There’s the opinion” but I’m, however, frustrated that this show went from can’t miss to “Oh my god, RAW is on? I gotta sleep for work tomorrow”. 

I hope you understand where I’m coming from. Usually, on my reviews, I tell you guys what’s good, what’s ok and what’s bad but because I don’t like this episode, I’m only going to tell you what’s ok and what’s bad. Without further ado, on with the review. 

WHAT’S OK

Opening segment 

The show started off with Corbin welcomes everyone to Monday Night RAW. Never heard that phrase said before. Baron then played a promo package of him, McIntyre and Bobby Lashley beating the crap outta Braun Strowman. 

After that, Braun Strowman appeared via a video recorded in the hospital and told the world that Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre are gonna get these hands. After Baron Corbin went on and on about how he’s going to win at TLC via forfeit, the lights went off and there was Elias. It ’s a whatever segment. 

Elias vs Bobby Lashley 

The match was bleh but that elbow drop by Elias was a thing of beauty. After that, Baron Corbin made this match a no DQ match and just like last week minus Braun Strowman, this was a three on one beat down. 

Bobby Lashley won the match via a reverse Alabama slam on the steel steps by Drew McIntyre (get it, because Braun Strowman had surgery in Birmingham, ALABAMA) followed by a spear from Bobby on the outside. 

Ronda’s confrontation with Nia Jax 

Nia Jax went on and on about how Ronda wasn’t the same after their first encounter and how she deserves to be on top of the mountain. Out came Ronda Rousey and she cut a promo on how she’s going to beat Nia at TLC. 

Nia Jax threw her mic down and Nia along with Tamina stared at Ronda. Out came Natalya and outta nowhere the Riott Squad came and beat Natalya to which Ronda Rousey rushed to the outside and save Natalya. Whatever. 

Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship 

This was, by the way, an open challenge and Dolph Ziggler answered the challenge. This was a decent match. Dolph Ziggler reversed a frog splash from Rollins into a famouser for the near fall. Seth Rollins retained the championship with the falcon arrow. 

WHAT’S BAD

Lucha House Party vs The Revival 

Why just why? I don’t mind a rematch if the first match was you know, actually good? The Lucha House Party won the match again via a shooting star press from Lince Dorado. 

AOP vs Bobby Roode and Chad Gable for the RAW tag team championship 

AOP won the match and retained the titles because Bobby Roode got distracted from Drake Maverick actually pissing on his robe. Gotta love RAW’s shitty booking. 

Alexa Bliss hosted “an open form” for fans to ask questions

Yes, WWE made Alexa Bliss to host “an open form” for fans to ask questions to Bayley and Sasha Banks. The lady with the Ronda Rousey t-shirt asked if either of them could change the RAW women’s division, what would they change? 

To which Bayley answered by saying that she’s proud of the women’s division and she hopes that they (the women) get more opportunities. I mean they do get more opportunities so I don’t know how to feel about that answer. 

Sasha Banks answered the question by saying that she’s would change one thing and that’s to shove Alexa back to Smackdown Live. Bayley replied by saying that she would ship Alexa to hell where Alexa came from. 

Who in God’s world wrote that line? The segment ended by Dana Brooke, Mickie James and Alicia Fox tried to beat both Bayley and Sasha Banks but they failed.

Finn Balor vs Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre - 2 on 1 Handicap match 

This match feels a lot similar to Elias vs Bobby Lashley in the sense that it was a 1 on 2 beatdown and that was my main issue with this. The team of Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre won the match with Drew delivered the Claymore kick to Finn Balor. 

Jinder Mahal vs No Way Jose 

Jinder won with the full Nelson slam. There, I saved you 5 minutes. 

Ember Moon vs Alicia Fox 

First off, why’s Curt Hawkin all over sudden paired with Ember Moon? I don’t get it. Ember won with the eclipse.
