Monday Night Raw Review 8.10.2024

Intro

With Bad Blood, now being looked at as a good PLE, and not a dodgy, and painful to listen to Taylor Swift song. WWE's Monday Night flagship show, picked up where the PLE left off, and if i'm honest. It was refreshing to see, even though they use this technique in storytelling, quite often. Crown Jewel is next on the PLE calender, and with Survivor Series coming at the end of November, and. Saturday Night Main Event, being a looked at as a solid way to end the year. I think it's safe to say, that when WWE heads to Netflix in the new year, the creative heads will stear the shows, and the company, in the right direction.

Superstars Showing Up

Sami Zayn. Gunther. Pete Dunne. Sheamus. Xavier woods, and. Jey Uso, were all seen showing to the arena.

Sexy Red Is On Raw

St Louis Rapper Sexy Red is on Monday Night Raw. I wonder if she had a backstage fight, like she did that time when she was in NXT. I'm getting the image of Shawn Michaels Twerking, coming back to me. Man that's funny.

Cm Punk Segment

I love this man, the way he has the ability to make, a simple going away segment, sound meaningful, with a purpose of a return, is awesome. He walked out on to the stage hobbling, from the acts of war that he went through during his Hell In A Cell Match, against. Drew Mcintyre, he said that it's good to be alive in St Louis, on a Monday Night, he spoke from the top of the stage, and thanked the people that mean the most to him, even though it hurt to make him smile. The fans, for being by his side, his peers, who he's been lucky enough to work with, and of course his haters, for continuing to doubt him. Now this is how you shut down all the non believers. Punk walked away, and he was greated by Seth Rollins. This is the clear direction for Mania. Both men stared each other down. Seth walked down to the ring, dressed like he belonged to his former Shield days, he told to get well soon, so that he could come back, and Seth could retire him for good, the fans were on point here, they sang his entrance loud and proud, he then called out Big Bronson Reed, he pulled the camera in close, and cut a scathing promo on him, and tells him, to name the time, and place. I loved this segment.

Jey Uso vs Xavier Woods Intercontinental Championship

Jey Uso, beat. Xavier Woods, in a match that needed more time, I don't think both men had enough time to get their movesets in, and it didn't play to their strengths at all. The seperation continued when Xavier refused to Shake Jeys hand in the aftermath. Jey retained his IC Championship.

The Miz Segment

R Truth told The Miz, that he forgives him, for being a lowlife cretin, only for The Miz, to turn around and say, he wasn't sorry. Karrion Kross acted like an overarching devil, hanging on his shoulder. The pair will face each other next week.

Donny Brook Sheamus vs Pete Dunne

I had a lot of fun watching this at 7.00am. I'm not a big fan of Donny Brook matches, but this broke the mould. it was fresh, it felt relevant. The physicality, and chemistry between both men, was great. The spots were awesome, from Sheamus having fun with a shaleleigh, and. Dunne thinking that he's Ben Stokes, and using a cricket bat for fun, and sheamus giving him his white noise finisher, from off the top of two large Whiskey barrels, through two tables that were positioned below. Dunne tied up the Irishman with cable ties, but this backfired, and he was made to eat a Brogue Kick, as sheamus got the win.

Cody Rhodes Segment

Cody Rhodes had a backstage segment with Sami Zayn, this is a clear tease for the future, and I want to see it.

The Mulletchaser And The Human Oven Show Up

Our Womens Champion. The Mullet Chaser, and her partner. The Human Oven, turned up with their new Bodyguard. Raquel Rodriguez, and then just left. Poor Jackie Redmond, she couldn't ask any important questions, like. Does Raquel like loosing? and how does The Hoven take care of his mullet?

10 Woman Tag Match

This. Match. Was terrible. I mean were do I even start with this. I can't decide so, I'm going to just call it, this was not great. The Unholy Union, and. PFC, beat Natalya. Lyra Valkyria. Kayden Karter, and. Katana Chance, and. Zelina Vega, in an awful tv match.

Sami Zayn vs Gunther WWE Heavyweight Championship

This match, showcased their great physicality, and chemistry. Even though I don't think this matched up to their Wrestlemania match. It came as a well needed break from the norm, the tv time that this was given allowed the match to breathe, and it worked in the tv format, because this was decent. Gunther retained his title, by choking out the former IC Champion.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw

Was this weeks Raw, a roaring success, well, no, but did the good, outweigh the bad, yes. The segments were great, and the in ring ranged from bad, to excellent.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a solid 7/10
