WWE RAW 9/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

This week's episode of Monday Night RAW was pretty decent. That third hour's pacing was way off. The first two hours of this show were actually pretty good. 

Rusev And Lana Divorce Contract Signing. 

What better way to start off a professional wrestling show then to open it with a divorce segment. Both Lana and Rusev showed up to not only air their problems but as well as to sign the divorce papers which Rusev was so enthusiastic about but he wanted one thing first and that's a match with to quote Rusev, "your hawt hawt husband" Bobby Lashley. 

Speaking of the hawt husband, out came Lashley and he wants to marry Lana. Rusev replied by saying that he doesn't care and after Rusev signed the paper, Lashley pushed Rusev's head on the table to which Rusev put Bobby through a table with a belly to belly. 

The crowd and Rusev's performance was by far the best part about this segment even though this entire saga was horrible. 

Kevin Owens had an interview with Charly Caruso and he repeated what he said about Seth Rollins. Then, Owens meets Rey Mysterio and Mysterio offered Kevin Owens some help which Owens happily declined and Mysterio gave Owens his homie in the steel pipe. 

Drew McIntyre vs Matt Hardy. 

Hardy is just an enhancement talent at this point (no sh*t, Omar). McIntyre wins with the claymore kick. 

In a backstage segment, Charlotte Flair offered Becky Lynch to become Becky two belts once again by teaming up with the queen to face the current women's tag team champions. Meanwhile, Kevin Owens was looking for the AOP and thought out the journey, Owens asked Mojo Rawley where's the AOP and Mojo pointed at two directions which Owens slapped the crap out of Mojo. 

The Viking Raiders' Open Challenge. 

The Street Profits answered the challenge and they put in an impressive fight but just like any other team that faced The Viking Raiders, they fall victim with the Viking Experience. 

Seth Rollins rushed to the ring quickly to call out AOP but instead, Kevin Owens showed up and he still doesn't trust Seth Rollins. Rollins leaves because it was the right thing to do according to the beast slayer. 

Kevin was expecting for the big men to show up but instead, Sami Zayn from Smackdown along with Mojo Rawley came out and Zayn wanted Owens to apologize to Rawley leading to Owens hitting the stunner to Mojo. The Sami Zayn bit went way too long but overall, this segment did its job on building intrigue. Also, why bring Zayn on RAW? That was WWE 2K universe mode random. 

Aleister Black vs Akira Tozawa. 

Black wins here with the black mass. That's it. 

A video package about Liv Morgan's return has aired and will see if it's really a makeover or not once Morgan comes back. 

Humberto Carrillo vs Andrade. 

This match came about when Andrade argued with Humberto Carrillo during Carrillo's interview with Charly Caruso. Yea, it was that simple. 

Andrade countered Humberto's top rope hurricanrana by planting him with the tree of woe and stomps on Carrillo's chest hard. Andrade accidentally kicks Zelina Vega and Carrillo rolls him up for the W. This match was good. 

Buddy Murphy vs Zack Ryder. 

With the name "Zack Ryder" being above this, You would think that he'll lose right? Apologies for the bad build-up but the answer is yes. 

AOP Attacks Kevin Owens. 

Kevin Owens damaged AOP's car and when he thought he saw one of the AOP inside the car, the big guys attacked him from behind and that person inside the car revealed himself as of course, Cesaro I mean Seth Rollins. 

Seth Rollins showed up on the stage area and he cuts a promo basically frustrated that he's done everything to please the fans and the beast slayer is sick of it.  

He ends his frustrations saying "Your negativity has become a self-fulfilling prophecy and that self-fulfilling prophecy has turned your fiction into fact" and Rollins brings on two specific people that understand his problem and that's the Authors Of Pain. 

Most would argue that turn into the dark side should've been for the big dog but WWE wanted to use the same John Cena personality of "I'm good no matter how the fans feel about me" attitude on Roman's character and it didn't fit. 

I believe this is WWE learning the lesson that just because a certain personality works on someone, that doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. At least I hope that they did learn their lesson. 

The Kabuki Warriors vs Becky Lynch. 

Not as good as the other handicap match last week but it was okay for what it was. As the referee was counting on the outside, Asuka hits on Lynch's stomach with a chair then, Kairi Sane sets up a table, places Becky on the table and delivers the insane elbow drop through the table which looked awesome. 

This is WWE obviously setting up a women's tag team title match 6 days from now and I'm hoping that Kabuki Warriors retains the championship to solidify their reign as champions. 

The Monday After The Weekend Update show with The Street Profits makes its debut and they basically previewed TLC 2019 in the most painfully unfunny way. 

How do you turn one of the most entertaining guys in WWE into the most cringe-worthy acts in WWE? That is not on the duo themselves but rather on the writing. 

Rey Mysterio vs AJ Styles For The United States Championship. 

Rey somehow took out the rest of O.C and Styles hits the fireman's carry into a backbreaker on Mysterio and Rey survived this one.

AJ put Mysterio down with the Styles clash but Randy showed up to the ring out of nowhere and Mysterio applied the inside cradle move to regain the US title. A meh main event. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Seth Rollins' promo and the Owens/AOP stuff, (despite the storyline) the opening segment, Humberto Carrillo vs Andrade. 

Didn't like: The entire third hour, Sami Zayn on RAW? Huh?
