WWE RAW Reaction - Rumble Go Home Show
Last night's edition of Monday Night Raw was largely boring and didn't feel like a real go home show for the second biggest show of the year.
Check out my great, good, bad, and really really pathetic from last night's RAW.
Check out my great, good, bad, and really really pathetic from last night's RAW.
Great
- Roman Reigns defeated Rusev with Jericho as the guest referee. It was a very entertaining match with Rusev working his ass off. Jericho was pretty entertaining throwing out the League of Nations who were interfering throughout the match. Great action.
Good
- Kevin Owen was sensational on commentary during the Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio vs Dean Ambrose and Kalisto match. Very entertaining.
- The New Day had a funeral service for Franchesca the trombone, which was destroyed by Jericho last week. Big E. presided over the service and started to quote Jay Z's "99 Problems" when Xaiver Woods stopped him. Kofi Kingston said they would buy him a new trombone. Woods said he never got a chance to say goodbye.
- The attempted to get some heat on the heels in the final segment with them laying out Reigns and Lesnar to end the show. It was good but doesn't feel like they are any big deal to me.
Bad
- Stephanie and Vince McMahon came out to draw the numbers for the number one position in the Royal Rumble. Vince pulled out the first plastic ball...and couldn't open it. So he threw it back and picked up another one out of the tub, revealing the name of Reigns. So Vince wanted to make sure the drawing was legit and drew another ball. He couldn't open that one. Vince not being able to open the ball was pathetic and hilarious at the same time. Lol. I liked the concept but it could've been handled so much better.
- The Wyatts vs Dudleys is the most overdone feud in the WWE. Please stop putting this on TV. Smh.
- It's incredible how far Breeze's stock has fallen since he defeated Dolph Ziggler at Survivor Series. Yes, that was only 7 weeks ago.
- This crowd sucked after the first match.
Pathetic
- Natalya defeated Brie Bella with the sharpshooter. Natalya was accompanied by Paige. Wasn't it Paige who jumped Natalya in December, causing her to miss months of action? Paige just walked out like they were best friends. This company is so stupid.
- Big Show killed the Social Outcast with knockout punches. Yea, so that push is done and at the hands of a guy who doesn't need anything. They just refuse to over anyone else.
It was strange to see the Wyatt Family, who have been on the backburner ever since the Undertaker/Kane feud at the Survivor Series, finish off the go-home show to the Royal Rumble standing over the company's top babyfaces. But beggers can't be choosy at this point. Not when the WWE needs top heels.
The Royal Rumble should be fun, as normal, but I have a feeling, the same old "Game" will be in play this Sunday
