RAW REVIEW:
The Authority did a great job of further cementing their place as the top heels while maintaining their rivalries with Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and John Cena. They banned all 3 from being in the MITB ladder match, however granted John Cena the opportunity to face Kane in a Stretcher Match to get into the match.
His eventual con into the Battle Royal was great. He dominated the Battle Royal and has some great eliminations. The highlight was the end. The slow stand off between Reigns and Rusev. I haven't been too enthused with Rusev, or so I thought, cause when they had that stand off I was losing my mind.
RAW REVIEW:
WWE has been doing a great job in the last couple weeks of topping itself with every RAW that passes. This week was no exception. A very different style RAW, but in no way shape or form was it inferior.
WWE filled the final spots in the WWE Title match at the MITB PPV, cemented new rivalries, and officially broke up the most entertaining group they have ever produced.
OPENING SEGMENT:
The Authority did a great job of further cementing their place as the top heels while maintaining their rivalries with Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and John Cena. They banned all 3 from being in the MITB ladder match, however granted John Cena the opportunity to face Kane in a Stretcher Match to get into the match.
ROLLINS/AMBROSE:
Rollins and Ziggler tore the house down in a great opening match. Dean Ambrose, complete in his new gimmicks ran in to attack his former teammate. Ambrose showed his character taking a turn toward the more psychotic side that was more seen in NXT before it was toned down during his run with The Shield.
Triple H immediately made a match between Ambrose and Bad News Barrett.
In what was another fantastic match, Rollins returned the favor and interfered in the match. They fought into the crowd before Rollins retreated in classic heel fashion. Ambrose would return to the ring and lay out BNB with "Dirty Deeds" and once again show how psychotic he is. No one is better with facial expressions than Ambrose.
This established that we are atleast going to see Ambrose vs Rollins at MITB and it should be an amazing way to kick off the PPV.
WYATT/SHEAMUS:
Wyatt did another fantastic promo about the importance of not only him winning the WWE Title but for his family members to walk out of MITB with gold as well. Wyatt has such a command over the audience and over his character it is always amazing to watch.
His match with Sheamus was exactly what it needed to be. In true story telling fashion, The Usos came out to even the odds against the 3 Wyatts. Great brawl ended the match and a cringe worthy moment when Sheamus threw a ladder into Harper/Rowan which saw the metal crash right into Rowan's face. OUCH!!!
PAUL HEYMAN:
For the sake of everyone's credibility associated with Paul Heyman, including Brock Lesnar, I feel like Cesaro MUST win the WWE Title at MITB. The whole "its not a prediction, its a spoiler" phrase has built great credibility since WMXXX when Brock conquered The Streak. There is a way to get around it but I am hoping they don't, unless a certain Samoan gets the nod.
GUEST HOST:
Kevin Hart is probably the funniest guy doing comedy today. His interactions with Adam Rose and the Exotic Express were absolutely fantastic.
Using him on commentary was genius. The quick wit talking about the milk pouring, Fandango's pants, never coming up behind a black man singing, etc. was amazing. It was a simple way of getting a true win-win out of the Hart/WWE relationship and it certainly seemed like Kevin Hart had some fun both on and off screen (via his Instagram).
ROMAN REIGNS:
I was surprised when The Shield was officially broken up. When it was clear, I said Reigns needed to not change anything. He needed to keep the music, the gear, the crowd entrance. I was very happy to see that all that happened and thats a great call by WWE.
His segments with Vickie, convincing her to turn on The Authority, drugging The Authorities coffee, it showed a different side of him and it showed he has a lot more range than the IWC has given him credit for.
His eventual con into the Battle Royal was great. He dominated the Battle Royal and has some great eliminations. The highlight was the end. The slow stand off between Reigns and Rusev. I haven't been too enthused with Rusev, or so I thought, cause when they had that stand off I was losing my mind.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Reigns in the WWE Title match at MITB. The more I think about it, the more I feel Kane will cost him the match, setting up for a match at BATTLEGROUND, leading Reigns into HHH at SUMMERSLAM.
THE MAIN EVENT:
This is a match that I really thought would happen at MITB rather than on RAW but it does make me feel that John Cena will be the WWE Champion when MITB goes off the air.
In yet another fantastic match, Cena and Kane got very physical and had some good moments. The interference from Rollins and Orton full established both their loyalty to The Authority and having ONLY Dean Ambrose come down to make the save, fully seperated the members of The Shield from each other.
As expected John Cena won and added legit star power to the MITB PPV's main event.
OVERALL:
RAW was certainly a good one. The matches from top to bottom were PPV worthy which is important considering it is time to motivate people to renew that 6 month WWE Network subscription and to further encourage International fans to buy it when it becomes available in (RUMOR) the next month or so leading into SUMMERSLAM.
The Go-Home RAW should be a great one and polish off the build up to what is looking like a 5-6 match card.
OH YEAH!!! Heath Slater turned babyface. Oh and don't even get me started on Stardust. Is nothing sacred anymore?
