WWE RAW Reaction -
The Return of GOLDBERG!!!
Check out my great, good, bad, and pathetic from last night's RAW.
Great
- The return of Bill Goldberg and the interview he delivered at the end of the show was the best thing I have seen on RAW on a long time. The entrance, the crowd reception, the true emotion he poured from his body, everything was great!! And his promo was believable. I really want to see this match now.
- Paul Heyman did an interview from WWE Studios with Michael Cole. Heyman was excellent as always.
- I enjoyed the match between Jericho and Seth Rollins and the overall direction of the program. I like the way they are setting up the split between Jericho and Owens, but it also can be a tease to sucker Rollins into thinking they are beefing, and then they actually stay together.
- Lana, got damn Lana. Always great.
- Also the Rusev segment where he introduced us to his family was EXCELLENT!!! What a great man Rusev is!! And then finally he got to beat down and choke out Roman Reigns and look strong!! I love it all.
Good
- Honestly, I like the Braun Strowman squashes, and this one was the best one yet. That beal was excellent when he threw the jobber over the top onto his partners. And did you see him run that jobber down like a big grizzly bear. And then I liked that Sammi Zayn came out to stand up for all the little guys. Sammi should be able to make the big guy work.
- I liked the sit down interview Lita had with Charlotte. I mean, its no shocker given who her father is, but Charlotte is actually a good promo.
- I thought the Cruisers had a good tag match with some good action. I hate when people judge guys work off of a lack of crowd reaction, cause that's not fair. Those guys busted their ass, and were just put in a touch spot on the card.
Bad
- Why the hell is Bo Dallas beating Neville in anything. That was ridiculous. Bo is not a star and no matter how much they try to push him as something we are supposed to care about, his previous gimmick will never be forgotten and he can't be take seriously.
- Sasha Banks sit down interview with Lita was pretty bad. The scripting and delivery was just bad. Sasha is far from a good speaker and she comes off very awkward. It was taped, so why this wasn't redone is beyond me.
- There was a lot of filler on this show. It was largely boring really. What is the point of having the Cruiser weight division if your just going to lump them into a tag match and pit them on after the crowd is tired. They should be sprinkled throughout the show in high paced exciting matches. That way, your big stars don't have to wrestle every week and can develop angles and save matches for PPVs.
Pathetic
- Dana Brooke should be either sent back down to NXT or just outright fired today. That performance was pathetic and made Bayley look terrible. Not only did these idiots book Bayley to lose to Brook, which was bad enough, the finish was fucked, so it made look like Brooke beat her Clean. The idiot is so bad that she couldn't get her body in teh correct position to cheat correctly and use the ropes for leverage. HORRIBLE!!!!
Mick Foley announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday morning that Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte is set to main event Raw's upcoming pay-per-view later this month. If the match does main event, it would be the first time that a women's match has gone on last at a WWE PPV.
Banks vs. Charlotte will also be the first ever women's match to take place inside of Hell in a Cell. Banks will be defending her Raw Women's Championship against Charlotte in the match.
Foley's Facebook post: "Forget for a moment about Stephanie McMahon's jumping high-five or my awkward attempt to hug the #RAW Comissioner. The biggest moment of the night for us came when the #WWE cameras were off, and Stephanie and I just looked at the #HIAC poster, realizing that for #WomensWrestling, history is upon us - as Sasha Banks and Charlotte will main event the #HIAC PPV. I am so happy for Sasha, for Charlotte, for all the women who paved the way, and all those who aspire to follow in their footsteps. It is no exaggeration to say that looking at that poster gave me chills...and they were multiplying."
