Roman Reigns is the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion and the end of the show was excellent!!!
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
- I really enjoyed the main event, which was capped off by a Roman Reigns title win. It was very well done. I am happy for the guy, and its pretty poetic that in the same building he was boo'd unmercifully back at the Royal Rumble i January, he got over huge and captured the belt.
- The return of Vince McMahon was a great surprise and made show feel super special. I enjoyed seeing Vince after such a long time off TV. And he was great at being the ultimate asshole. I like how he walked out and interrupted that match between those two geeks Truth and Bo Dallas.
- I thought the Ambrose vs Ziggler match was very good, and the beat down by Owens afterwards was excellent. Owens is such a bad ass that he can pull off taking a lost just right because he takes the lost serious and can beat anyone's ass. Great angle.
- The Wyatt Family defeated Tommy Dreamer, Rhyno and the Dudley Boyz in an Extreme Rules match. A wild brawl as you would expect. The unsung hero was Luke Harper, who channeled his inner-Dreamer by taking lots of crazy bumps. Very entertaining because it was something different from what we usually get on Raw.
Good
- I liked how the New Day called out The Uso's and Lucha Dragons to shake hands and talk about how great their match was last night. It was a nice sign of respect because those guys laid it all out there to entertain us and damn near killed themselves. Reminded me when Edge & Christian, The Dudley's and the Hardy's did it after their classic ladder match years ago.
- This whole Neville - Miz story line is pretty entertaining to me. I like when they take two characters that don't have much going on, and have a nice little feud with story to it.
Bad
- Honestly, I don't like what they are doing with Charlotte. I just don't like it. I guess the point is to make Becky Lynch a huge baby face. But why sacrifice Charlotte and turn her left and right for no reason.
Pathetic
Stephanie brought up Reigns losing another chance at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, called him a failure and a disgrace. Reigns said Stephanie was the disgrace, so was HHH and their whole family.
Stephanie slapped him repeatedly. You might be reading this and wondering since Stephanie slapped Reigns about eight times, how did Reigns get his comeback? The answer is there was none. At this point, I'm wondering who Stephanie is going to wrestle when she headlines WrestleMania because she's more protected than Reigns is. I can't believe they castrated him like that after last night. I know he won the title later, but Stephanie always makes herself bigger than the stars.

These are the nights where you get so frustrated with WWE booking because this show was booked so well, you wonder why they can't put shows together like this more often. They pressed the right buttons with Reigns over the last two nights, figuring the best way to win over the fan base is to beat up two of its biggest targets: Vince and HHH. Plus, it was wise to get the belt to Reigns on this night, because the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania are crowds most likely to hijack shows and boo Reigns. A win all around and a good show.
