WWE Monday Night Raw June 19, 2017 Results and Review – Bad Booking Continues in 2017

Loved This Angle - SRC WWE.COM

I’m fortunate enough to be watching the HULU version. I previously was watching the Youtube condensed versions from people uploading them, but they were so unreliable that I have now just waited for the HULU version to upload and that’s it. So today I’m going to review what I recall from the HULU version, since they didn’t include everything, and well, that’s what the WWE felt was important enough to show on the pay service. So that’s what I’m discussing, and here we go, from Evansville, Indiana, June 19, 2017 Monday Night Raw.

Roman Reigns Announcement For Summerslam

Roman Reigns came out to tell the crowd in Indiana that he was going to be the next contender for the Universal Championship. That is either going to set up a Samoa Joe match against Roman Reigns or it’s going to set up a Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns grudge match. Either way, Roman did ok on the mic here, but he was interrupted by Samoa Joe. Reigns called him a dude named Joe, and that sparked some words, before the two started brawling. Joe has a point, Reigns has NOT beaten him, and the two would meet later on tonight.

The Drifter Gets Interrupted

The Drifter came out and asked the crowd, who wants to walk with Elias! I do! I love this gimmick, and really hope that eventually he hits someone with a guitar. I love that. Well, not when Jeff Jarrett did it, but when Honky Tonk Man did it, it was awesome. The Drifter got confronted by Finn Balor, but he left. Hang on to that thought.

Finn Balor defeated Bo Dallas

Bo Dallas came out aggressive and was beating the snot out of Finn Balor. If Finn Balor is so dominant, why did Bo Dallas get so much offense against him? Bo was looking like a million bucks against the first Universal Champion ever. Either way, Balor turned things around with his offense stolen from Alex Wright, and eventually won against Dallas. I guess he didn’t BO LIEVE.

Seth Rollins Panders To The Crowd

Seth Rollins came out and was pandering to people about the new WWE 2K18 game. Then Bray Wyatt came out and said something, and that will most likely set up a match between the two? I guess that’s that. Wyatt to lose again, I’m sure.

Finn Balor Beat Down by Elias

Backstage, Finn Balor was getting interviewed when Elias “The Drifter” Samson hit him from behind and knocked him out. This was awesome, and will most likely setup a good match between the two. Elias is doing well with this gimmick, and I hope the WWE doesn’t screw it up, but of course, they will.

Samoa Joe defeated Roman Reigns

This was a really good match for Raw. The crowd was into it, and I was into it. Samoa Joe was putting some good work in against Roman Reigns, and Reigns was not backing down. He was hitting Joe with some strong offense, but Joe was outsmarting him at times. Joe would eventually turn things around as Braun Strowman showed up on the screen with an ambulance. Joe got his finisher sleeper on, the Clutch, if you will, and Reigns passed out. That’s correct folks, SAMOA JOE defeats Roman Reigns in the middle of the ring, nearly clean. Post match, Shoeman (not a typo), beat up Reigns and challenged him to an ambulance match.

The Miz Recruits Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel

The Miz went backstage and told the two jobbers that he can make both of them stars. All they had to do was join him. Keep that in mind.

Maryse On MIZ TV

Miz TV had a guest, it was Maryse, and despite her good looks, she’s looking a bit older these days. There were two dancing bears there, and Miz was promising to give a gift. It was the grandfather clock that Miz repaired since he beat it down last week. Maryse was thrilled, but out came Dean Ambrose. He beat up Miz, they broke the clock, Maryse spilled her drink, ran off, and then the bears. The bears beat down Dean Ambrose and pulled their heads off to reveal it was Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel! I kid you not. They finally have something to do on Raw.

Nia Jax defeated Sasha Banks via DQ

This match didn’t get far. Alexa Bliss and Emma got into it on commentary, Bliss ran into the ring to get help from Nia, and that led to brawling from all the women, in what was an embarrassment of a segment. Wait, I forgot, Bayley came out looking a bit tired and flabby and beat everyone up. Word on the street is that she’s going to start to have a crush on Graves. Meh.

Kurt Angle Revealed Enzo and Cass Attack Villain

The show ended without wrestling. I kid you not, the show ended with NO WRESTLING in the ring. Instead, Graves, Angle, Cass, The Revival, Big Show, and Enzo all were in the ring trying to get to the bottom of the attacks. As it turned out, Cass attacked Enzo and that was that. Enzo started crying, Cass gave a great speech, and that was that. Cass attacked Enzo. Why would the WWE split a great team like this up? Why would they make the heels all win all the time? Why did the show end without wrestling? I don’t know. That was the end, and that was that.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 3, 2016 Review (HULU)

As you know, I don’t write a play by play, I just talk about what I remember, and here we go.

Lana is hot as hell.

Lana asking for a match was cool, but finding out it was going to be a Hell In The Cell match didn’t do much for me. I don’t care about Rusev or Reigns, so that is going to be the point where I take a dump during the PPV.

Brian Kendrick defeated TJ Perkins

Last week, Kendrick won a title shot. This was supposed to be that title match, but guess what? NOPE! The WWE decided it wasn’t, last minute. Kendrick wins, no title change, and everyone in the building was confused. King Ross of Whatculture posted up a graphic of the promotion for this match, and it was in fact a WWE screw job. Nice going WWE, idiots.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day defeated Jeri-KO

Kevin Owens is going to end up on the List of Jericho, just you wait. New Day wins in a boring match. I don’t like the idea of the champion losing matches on Raw, but hey, that’s just me.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte to become the new Raw Women’s Champion

Here’s the thing about these title changes, the losers don’t fight back. Charlotte missed a sign here. I would have much rather her be vindictive, jumping back in to beat up the newly crowned champ, and taking her title, even though she lost. Show some aggression, show that despite the loss, you’re still better. She’s the bad guy, she’s supposed to beat up Sasha after the loss she took, and then steal the belt, setting up a huge match for Sunday, but nope. Instead, Charlotte started crying, no sign of Dana Brooke, but from what I read online, she was taken out. This match was good, great to see the women end the night on Raw, and great to see a title change. However, there were some botches, and the ending I didn’t believe quite as much. Also, the crying, there’s no crying in Baseball! I mean, wrestling.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Not a terrible night of wrestling, but not a good one. The HULU edition neutered Raw completely. The above is not just what I remembered, it’s nearly ALL of what they showed on HULU. Oh well. Maybe one day I can afford getting cable, but that’s not going to be today. An ok Raw, and a lackluster build for a PPV this weekend.
