This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.
Opening Segment.
The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.
Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.
Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.
Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.
The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ropes to Tamina and Morgan. Minutes after that, Nia Jax delivered the Samoan drop to Bayley and won the match. So that means that Bayley and Sasha Banks will enter the match first (No shit, Omar).
Elias Concert.
A backstage segment between Becky Lynch and Finn Balor, A Seth Rollins promo package and Lucha House Party entrance interrupted Elias’ concert which at this point feels repetitive and a great example of bad creative writing. After Elias wanted to do a duet between him and Kalisto, he hits him with the guitar. Predictable.
Finn Balor vs Drew McIntyre.
First off, a handicap match between Rush and Lashley vs Finn Balor for the Intercontinental championship is rather dumb I mean why not a single match instead? Anyways, The match was okay. Match ended in a DQ because of Bobby Lashley. After that, Kurt Angle comes to the rescue and outta nowhere Baron Corbin beat Angle hard which led to Braun Strowman coming out to the ring. You know what that means…….
Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre.
Three commercial breaks should tell you how I feel about this match because this match was boring. The team of Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Kurt Angle won the match with Balor delivered the Coup de grace to Bobby Lashley.
After that, Kevin Owens in a smartphone recorded video, tells the world that he has one more month until he returns to in-ring action. Can't wait.
Nikki Cross vs Ruby Riott.
The match was okay. Ruby won the match here. I know this is a nitpick but man if you want to make Ruby look good going into Elimination Chamber, don't you want to put somebody other than Nikki Cross?
Seth Rollins Talks About His Beating From Brock A Couple Of Weeks Back.
Seth Rollins came out to the ring and he said that he's on a roll for the past year and he's glad to share that with the fans. Rollins also said that he took 6 F5s and he's still standing and he can beat Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania.
Out came Paul Heyman and the advocate for Brock Lesnar said that the notion that all men are created equal is false. Heyman also that Seth is the architect of his own demise (great line by the way).
Seth then said that Brock Lesnar held this show for too long and doesn't care about what he's going get at Wrestlemania. After that, Dean Ambrose told Seth Rollins to slay the beast. I thought this segment was decent and boy, that heel run from Dean was a waste.
Dean Ambrose vs EC3.
Two things. One, Why I'm seeing this match and two, why can't EC3 win this match?
Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs The Revival for the RAW tag team championship.
This was a very good tag team match. Took WWE a long time to do this but The Revival are the new RAW tag team champions. How they did it? By a shatter machine of course to Chad Gable. I wonder why WWE gave The Revival the titles?
Becky Lynch Makes Her Decision.
The Authority came out to the ring after Becky Lynch and advised her to say those two words. Becky Lynch then said “I'm sorry” and they made the match official. Ronda Rousey marched to the ring, Vince McMahon showed up, suspended Becky and replaced Lynch with Charlotte Flair. You know what, I don't mind a triple threat match because that's what this storyline is heading to.
If I'm booking the SmackDown Live women's championship match at Wrestlemania, I would have booked an open challenge and the person that answers the challenge is none other than Shayna Baszler. If Baszler loses the NXT women's championship at the Takeover show.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
.
Like: RAW Tag Team Title match.
Didn’t like: EC3 vs Dean Ambrose, Nikki Cross vs Ruby Riott, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre.
