Opening segment.
The RAW after WrestleMania kicked off with the new Universal champion, Seth Rollins. After the crowd chanted “you deserve it” to Seth Rollins, Rollins replied by saying “we deserve it”. Minutes after that, Seth Rollins told Brock Lesnar that Brock should stay in Las Vegas and Seth Rollins is gonna be a defending champion.
Out came The New Day (yes, The New Day) and they said that The New Day can't wait for Tuesday because Kofi proposed a winner take all match for the WWE and the Universal Championships tonight and Seth Rollins accepted the challenge. I'm really confused about this segment but maybe I'm over thinking about this. What's gonna happen with the main championships after this? I don't know but I'm hoping WWE has a BIG plan but you know how WWE likes to rush their plans.
Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins vs The Revival for the RAW Tag Team Championship.
This was surprisingly a decent match. The New Yorkers pulled out a miracle once again with a roll up from Curt Hawkins to Scott Dawson.
Baron Corbin’s Yawn Worthy Promo.
Baron Corbin in his promo talked about how he's proved people wrong by beating an Olympic gold medalist. Out came the Olympic gold medalist himself, Kurt Angle and he said that Baron Corbin is the better man and wishes Corbin good luck.
Obviously, that was a swerve and delivered Baron Corbin with the Angle Slam and the Ankle Lock. Out came Lars Sullivan and he ABSOLUTELY destroyed Kurt Angle. Great to see Lars Sullivan healthy and focused and I hope that he lands to Smackdown Live considering that RAW has a lot of big guys.
Alexa Bliss vs Bayley.
Great to see Bliss back in the ring for the first time since the women's royal rumble match I believe. Anyways, The Goddess won the match with the DDT.
The Man Speaks After Her Big Victory Last Night.
Becky cut a promo basically saying that she went from having nothing to having everything. The crowd then started to sing her theme song and minutes later, Lacy Evans does her usual stick with going and leaving and then Evans punched Lynch in the face which led to a brawl between both women.
So we know who's Becky's first challenger and I feel like this feud is beneath the championships if I'm being honest. It reminds me of when Daniel Bryan’s reign after his title win at Wrestlemania 30 in the sense that he feuded with Kane and it felt like it was beneath the championship you know what I mean? Hopefully, this is a short feud.
Aleister Black and Ricochet vs Bobby Roode and Chad Gable.
Another decent tag team match. The team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the modified code breaker from Ricochet to Gable and then a frustrated Roode hits Ricochet from behind.
After that, Elias told the world that he's getting his concert later that night on RAW.
Dean Ambrose vs Bobby Lashley. Dean's Final WWE match.
Before this, WWE played a video where a crocodile looking puppet was laughing in a dark background which I'm gonna predict it's Mojo Rawley.
Anyways, Bobby Lashley told Dean as soon as Dean Ambrose leaves WWE, Bobby will make sure that he's gonna take care of his wife Renee Young.
That made Dean pissed off and immediately after that, Dean ate a spear near the stage area and ate a slam through the announce table. Intrigued as to where Dean goes from here. Is he gonna perhaps land at AEW? Anything is possible in professional wrestling.
Sami Zayn vs Finn Balor for the Intercontinental championship.
Sami Zayn came out with a thunderous ovation from the crowd and Sami Zayn said that he's looking for someone to fight with. Finn Balor answered Zayn's challenge and Balor put his championship on the line.
This was a good match. The match ended with Finn Balor reversed the Helluva Kick from Zayn and Balor hits him with the coup de grace to retain the Intercontinental championship. After the match, Zayn cut a promo saying that he doesn't miss the fans and called out the fans for being too toxic. How funny that Kevin Owens is a babyface while Zayn Is a heel. Should've been the exact opposite but whatever.
Elias Concert.
This ain't an Elias concert without an interruption. This time it was The Undertaker which I'm not gonna lie, that was a big surprise from me. Elias then tried to hit the deadman but Undertaker hits with the big boot, chokeslam and the tombstone piledriver.
Seth Rollins vs Kofi Kingston for the Universal and the WWE championships. Winner Take All.
Well, that kinda answered my question earlier. The match ended in a DQ because The Bar came out and interrupted a pin from Seth which led to a tag team match between Kofi and Seth vs The Bar. This makes no sense. One, what's The Bar motivation for interrupting the match in the first place? Two, if you wanna make a tag match then why can't The Bar interrupt the opening segment but even that makes no sense.
Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston vs The Bar.
I will say this, it was a decent match. Seth Rollins won the match with the stomp to Cesaro.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: Sami Zayn vs Finn Balor for the Intercontinental championship, Undertaker's return, Lars Sullivan's dominating main roster segment debut.
Didn't like: The ending of the Kofi Kingston vs Seth Rollins match, The feud between Becky Lynch and Lacy Evans feels like it's beneath the championship.
