The reign of good Monday Night RAWs has kinda come to an end?
While it wasn't the most offensive thing I've seen since Randy Orton vomiting out badly burned hot choco, I thought this week's RAW was just there. Nothing really of substance happened here.

Kevin Owens Explains His Reasoning For Beating Up Big E.
After Kevin Owens basically said that he's tired of being humble and lowkey, Big E took a beating from The Usos and Riddle came to the big man's rescue which led to a tag team match because that's what you do after seeing multiple people fighting apparently.
During the tag team match, shenanigans happened with Big E and Sethy Rollings and Randal Keith showed up to help his tag team partner, Riddle which led to a 6 man tag team match because apparently somebody asked for a sequel?
Finally, after several and several minutes of stretching something that should've lasted 15 minutes at the very least, we got a clean victory from the heel team with a roll-up from Rollins to Riddle.
After the match, Riddle got caught in a 2 on 1 beating from the current Smackdown tag team champions but Big E prevented that and gave the big ending to not only this (metaphorically speaking) the closest thing to a segment stretching out like an elastic but to Jey Uso.
Why did this entire thing last for half an hour? I don't know but either way, it was too long. In other words, don't give Tony Khan ideas because he might extend his segments to half an hour or more.
Bianca Belair vs Tamina.
Man, WWE legit cooled Bianca Belair's steam and it sucks she's in that position right now when in theory, she should be on top at all times.
After Belair's win over Tamina, Doudrop hinted at a match with the EST. I mean, it should be a good match, to be honest.
Becky Lynch Goes Over Her History With Charlotte Flair Until……….
Liv Morgan showed up to tell Becky that she'll take the red white belt from her.
Out of all the matches taking place at Survivor Series, Becky's encounter with Charlotte is the only one that is interesting considering the major history between them and Lynch's promo did a good job of putting a little tiny bit of stakes.
Riddle wanted the smoke with The Street Profits. Get it? Weed? Riddle? Smoke? Not gonna lie, that joke would've been funnier had Seth Rogen said it.
The Street Profits vs Alpha Academy.
A decent tag team exhibition. The team of Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford won here. Aight.
Nikki A.S.H vs Queen Zelina Vega.
Zelina Vega's okay British accent was enough to win the match against a Scottish person which is a visual metaphor of how the Scotland independence is going on (YOU SAID NO POLITICS, OMAR!)
All lame outdated jokes aside, this match was followed by their partners facing each other in Rhea Ripley and Carmella. And Ripley wins with the riptide. Cool.
Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor.
A solid but quick bout. Owens defeated Balor with the stunner.
Since Owens' a heel now, I think the pop-up powerbomb should make its return as his finisher since the stunner is the most babyface move ever.
AJ Styles And Omos vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode.
Two heels facing each other? SKIP! For real though, this ain't that bad. Styles and Omos win with a phenomenal forearm to Ziggler.
Rey Mysterio vs Bobby Lashley.
My man, Bob picked up the victory here and Adam Pearce was like, "uh, Rey since you lost the match, I'm going to replace you with Austin Theory even though I wanted an all former WWE champions team".
God damn, like Sonya Deville, Adam Pearce does not like POCs succeeding AT ALL!
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Becky Lynch promo.
Didn't like: Adam Pearce just contradicted himself, the opening act was a little too much booking wise.
