It's the first RAW review of 2022 and my 4th year continuing the war in professional wrestling bullsh*t which also kicked off my sad and miserable adulthood. 
With that being said, this week's episode was not terrible. 
Brocky Brock Reunited With His Well-suited Funky Bunch.
The best part? Lesnar wanted us to acknowledge his Viking roots with his beard and hair.  
Paul Heyman went over the challengers for the fatal 4 way number one contender's match (aka the OG OG OG match at last night's day 1 show) in the most Paul Heyman way possible in that he praises you then proceeds to sh*t talk about you kinda like Tony Khan. 
Later that night, Bob Lashley was crowned as the winner thanks to the almighty spear.
While I would've preferred a Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar match to happen at Wrestlemania, I don't mind seeing it a few months before just because it's been a dream match of mine throughout most of my wrestling fandom. 
Paul Heyman's promos are legit a masterclass in improvisational dialogue and his latest promo is no exception. 
Oh, and I like babyface Brock. It's like old Brock but without the mariachi band. 
RKBRO vs Alpha Academy.
This ain't Monday Night RAW without a rematch. A rematch I do not mind, I guess? 
Alpha Academy pinned the tag champs which means a title match because that's how you build your number one contender. 
Reggie And Dana Brooke vs Akira Tozawa And Tamina.
That flip pin from Reggie was cool but that's all I can say about this. The champion and the former sommelier wins here. 
Becky Lynch Encounters Two Of Her Former Challengers.
Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan wanted a title opportunity which led to a brawl between all 3 women that ended with Becky Lynch standing tall. 
Not a fan of Morgan's theme change but I am a fan of a possible triple threat match between all 3 competitors. 
And I spoke too soon because Doudrop demanded a RAW women's championship opportunity so the white man, Adam Pearce and his Karen, Sonya Deville made a 3-way match to determine the number one contender for the red women's belt at the Royal Rumble. 
Now that sounds like a banger of an encounter. 
Rhea Ripley And Nikki A.S.H vs Carmella And Queen Zelina Vega.
Speaking of Monday Night RAW and their rematches. The heels retained the championship. Cool. 
As announced days ago, Johnny Knoxville is going to be in the Royal Rumble. Ah, WHO!? 
Damian Priest vs Dolph Ziggler For The United States Championship.
Here's a guy I haven't seen in quite some time, Damian Priest. This bout was decent with an ending that we all saw coming because let's face it, Dolph Ziggler continues to be portrayed as the "Halo grunt" of WWE in that he's easily beatable. 
A Mixed Tag Team Match Announced Between Edge, Beth Phoenix, The Miz And Maryse.
Ah. Nice. I'm so excited about this (sarcasm of course). 
AJ Styles vs Omos.
A one-sided match because Omos' big and strong. You know who's also big and strong. Giant Gonzalez and guess what? he f**king sucks. 
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 
Like: The opening segment, the fatal 4-way match
Didn't like: I guess the announcement of the Edge and Beth Phoenix vs The Miz And Maryse.
