My Top 5 Insights From Monday Night Raw 5.8.2025.

Intro.

With the final outline from Summerslam lingering over WWE like a bad case of sunburn. I kind of feel like they deserve the heat. I'm going to into my feelings on the Brock Lesnar situation later on this week, so I won't go much into detail here, other than for this reason.

5. Brock Lesnars Return.

I'm going to get this out of the way now, so I don't have this hanging over my head. Michael Cole stating WWE's version of how Brock came back to WWE, had me feeling sorry for the veteran commentator. I get that he was told to say what was said, but using him like this to me was a bit cruel, when you dig beneath the surface. 

4. Seths Crew Has A Name.

I liked this opening Segment. From Paul Heyman taking verbal shots at Roman Reigns, and Seth having his own fun, whilst looking a cross between Hollywood montrose, and a strawberry. He blamed fans, and put shame on us all for chanting for Punk, and for my OTC, by letting us know how he feels. He told us the new name for his crew. Visionary, and lets just put it this way. It's the Uncle Moes Family Feedbag Of Names, yeah it's that bad. Seth's interactions with LA Knight did make me laugh. Adam Pearce then came out, and he didn't sound very happy with Seth, so he booked both men for the main event, oh and he banished The Brons from ringside. The Match was a bit flat overall, and was then thrown out Cm Punk went for Seth, he got beaten down, and Seth tried to leave, but that was when Roman Reigns came out to stair down his former Shield Compradre. I liked this. It moved quite well, and was a decent episode long storyline thread.

3. Rusev vs Sheamus ( again ).

Ok this Match got thrown out by count out, because men were kicking too much arse. Watching these two fight like that season two episode of Malcolm In The Middle was pure comedy.

2. The Cast Of Wednesday Were Sat At Ringside.

The nerd in me was having a filed day, when I saw the cast of Wednesday sat at ringside, with the shows creators Alfred Gough, and Miles Miller. Thse two created Smallville one of my favourite TV Shows ever. I know that bringing this show up, with Brock lesnar might look like bad taste, so I just want you to know this. To say that I don't condone any form of sexual bullying is an understatement.

1. Charlotte Flair And Alexa Bliss beat Roxanne Perez And Raquel Rodriguez.

I'm starting to like the dynamic between these two, they beat Roxanne Perez, and. Raquel Rodriguez. The Match was better than there Summerslam encounter in my opinion. I thought their Summerslam Match was adequote, if lifeless in places, but this felt fresh, and a bit more feasible. Also say it with me Charlotte and Alexa are fwiends oooh fwiends wrestling fwiends. The Inbetweeners has a lot to answer for doesn't it.
