Monday Night Raw Review.

Superstars Seen Showing Up To The Arena.

Rhea Ripley. Iyo Sky. Bianca Belair. Logan Paul. Jey Uso, and. Gunther were all seen showing up to the arena.

John Cena Segment.

This was awesome. Cena came out to a chorus of boos, but before he could even get a word out. Cody Rhodes joined him. And what transpired, was a fantastic promo dual. Cody verbally berrated John, he pin pointed things that used to get aimed at John, with some differences. His neck tattoo, to him being booed out of the building when he was under his Stardust monicker, this was very impactful, because he beat John to the punch. The fans were on fire during the show, but this was by far one of there proudest moments. Cody asks John why he did what he did. He said that he won't be coming down to Cody's level. Over Cena's career, he had been accused of burying talent, and he used this to his advantage tonight, by saying that he doesn't bury talent, because he is the talent, and that he doesn't care about Cody, because all he is, is a taxi driver, and a pick pocket, stating that Cody disgusts him. John went on to say that everything that Cody has done has been underwhelming, because he's too perfect, because he doesn't have a lot to him other than his entrance music. John rammed home the message that Cody isn't him, because he's to afraid to show his real self, as both men lay personal barbs on each other. Cena threatened to kidnap the WWE Championship after Wrestlemania. Cody put over how the fans chose him, whilst John was given his position by He Who Shall Not Be Named, and tells him that he isn't a hero, he's a piece of s*** , this started of a piece of s*** chant. Cena laid waste to Cody in their final exchanges, by bringing up his past, this caused both men to fight. Cody got the better of John with a cross Rhodes to end the segment. This was brilliant. The fans were on fire here, and it made me wish that I had booked a ticket, and overnight accomodation, because this segment would be worth the price of emission alone. I have no other words.

The New Day Vs The New Catch Republic.

The New Day, beat. The New Catch Republic, in a standard TV Match. This didn't do a lot for me. But it was great to see Tyler Bate back on my TV screen.

Ludwig Kaiser Segment.

Ludwig Kaiser wants a Championship Match at Wrestlemania, because he's faced a load of Ups And Downs. ( insert slapping of my head )

Gunther vs Jimmy Uso.

This was a suprisingly competitive one man beat down. Gunther wrecked Jimmy with a rear naked choke after a decent Match. Jey made the save, but this backfired on him. Jimmy took one hell of a beating, to the point that he needed medical attention, and when he got to his feet, he and his brother were put back down again. Gunther battered Jimmy some more, and then became Alex Delarge. He cable tied Jey to the ring ropes, and him watch his own brother get bloody, and brutalised. This. Was brilliant.

Judgement Day Segment.

Agh isn't this nice. It's all good in The Judgement Day hood. Yeah, that's not going to last. Finn Balor, and. Dom later then beat. Bron Breakker, and. Penta in a standard TV Match, thanks to an accidental sphere. This would act as storythread that I think is going to lead to their Mania Match.

Chad Gable Segment.

Adam Pearce can't be that stupid. El Grande Americano is Chad Gable. In the words of Beavis from Beavis And Butthead. Chad is a liar liar liar liar.

Karrion Kross Segment.

This segment taught me three things. The 1st thing was that he hates AJ styles, the 2nd thing was that he's a tease, and the 3rd is that he's a big fan of Kylie Minogue.

AJ Styles Segment.

This was decent, but not great. Aj got straight to business and called out Logan Paul. And on Logans entrance I noticed something that made me laugh. A fan had brought a sign in the shape of a Prime bottle, with the word P**** written all over it. To this fan I say. I salute you sir. You said what the world was thinking. Both men a fairly stable promo dual, but if i'm honest it was predictable, and fell apart quickly, they crossed all the marks in this segment. Forgiveness, to Logan being called a douche bag. Both men had a fight to end the segment. I'm not sure what to make about this.

Rhea Ripley vs Iyo Sky WWE Womens Championship Special Guest Referee Bianca Belair.

Overall the Match was decent, and had some superd near falls mixed in with some fantastic exchanges. But the Match was thrown out by Belair, after she took bumps, from both Iyo, and. Rhea. All three ladies had a fight, and Rhea served up Riptides for all as the show went off the air. This was a real letdown, and a bad way to send UK fans home happy.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

As a long standing fan for over thirty years. This weeks Raw was a weak effort that had some good to great moments. This is the definition of a mix-bag.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a low 7/10.
