Monday Night Raw Review 26.8.2025.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

LA Knight. Nikki Bella, and. Rhea Ripley were all seen showing up to the arena in Birmingham UK. Oh and I see you Rhea eyeing up the Pick'n Mix, mine is the White Chocolate Mice.

Roman Reigns Segment.

The fans hijacked this segment from the start, and you know what. You love to see it. Roman talked about how things have changed, and this became the backdrop for this segment. Paul Heyman, and. Bronson Reed came out, and this segment, became a fascinating promo dual. The segment ended with both men fighting on the ramp, with security having to seperate them. I liked this. Both men will see each other on Sunday.

Dragon Lee vs JD Mcdonagh.

I liked this. The action was fast paced, and both mens chemistry was great. Lee got the win. Michael Cole on commentary ran through JD's achievements from before he got to WWE, and the only thing I have to say about this is. Don't Google him.

LA Knight Segment.

LA Knight said what he thought of Cm Punk, Mr Brookes said what he thought of this later on in the evening. Jey Uso would do the same thing.

Penta vs Kofi Kingston.

Penta, beat Kofi Kingston in a flat and, and boring TV Match. The New Day later annoyed Byron Saxton, complete with confetti. ( for some reason ) 

Iyo Sky And Rhea Ripley.

Iyo Sky, and. Rhea Ripley were caught backstage by The Kabuki Warriors having a nice chat, yeah, this would backfire later on in the show.

Becky Lynch Segment.

I loved this. Becky went through everything that she hated about Birmingham, and this included. Nikki Bella, and. Aston Villa. As an Arsenal Supporter I can understand the second one. This brought out Nikki, who gave Becky some awesome verbal Barbs. Both ladies had a fantastic promo dual. This was later confirmed their Match at Clash In Paris. Also as a Massive Ozzy Osbourne fan. I loved the tribute.

Rhea Ripley vs Roxanne Perez.

I liked this. Both ladies have decent chemistry, and the chemistry that was on display was great. Rhea got the win with a riptide. Corey Graves on Commentary teased the return of, ugh sigh. Chris Jericho. No, please no.

Aj Styles Vs Finn Balor.

I was bored watching this. The in-ring work felt stagnant, and that's a real shame. AJ got the win. AJ will face Dirty Dom next week In Paris, for the Intercontinental Championship.

Bayleys New Direction.

I have to say. I'm starting to like Bayleys decent into madness, because this means we could get Hugger Bayley back, and you know what that means, her old entrance theme music. sing it with me now.  There ain't no stopping us now, we celebrate on the floor.

LA Knight vs Bronson Reed.

I didn't like this. The whole Match felt predictable, and flat, and as the Match went into it's final stages, what I thought would happen, happened. The interference spots from Seth Rollins, and. Bronson, and the save spots from Cm Punk, and. Jey Uso played into how the Match would end. Bronson got the win, and the fall apart of the other three man in Sundays main event, then played out. Sigh. I could just feel my eyes starting to roll.

 Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

This was a real mix-bag of interest, and utter nonsense, that was elevated by a red hot crowd.

This go home Monday Night Raw Show is a high 6/10.
