Monday Night Raw April 9, 2018 Results and Review

Miz Is Raw - SRC WWE

Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania is usually a good thing, and honestly, it didn’t feel like it was 9 hours long for a change. Let’s consider the Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania here before I get to Ring of Honor and Joey Janela’s Spring Break 2.

Monday Night Raw April 9, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of the show had Stephanie McMahon trolling the audience and then introducing Ronda Rousey. Rousey showed up and then put McMahon into an armbar and got her to tap again, and it got the crowd going nuts.

Nia Jax and Ember Moon defeated Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

This was an incredible match that showcased Ember Moon’s skills, and really made Jax look good too. Ok, incredible is a bit much, but I’m still high from the NXT Takeover show. Good overall match, not a long one, but enough to get Ember Moon over as a newcomer.

No Way Jose defeated a Jobber

No Way Jose beat a jobber and danced. I liked it.

The Revival defeated The Club Sandwich Boys in a Tag Team Eliminator Match

There’s a tournament for the number one contenders to the titles, and the Revival fought their long time rivals the Club Sandwich boys. The Revival won after they hit their finale, and that was that. It was a short match with a fast finish and that’s it.

The Miz, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor were talking in the ring and Jeff Hardy showed up, making a match for later. This wasn’t bad, but it was more talking.

Mandy Rose defeated Sasha Banks

This wasn’t bad, Mandy Rose was able to beat Sasha Banks thanks to Bayley’s outside interference, and that was that.

Bobby Lashley attacked Elias

Elias showed up and sang a bit before Bobby Lashley showed up and beat him down and that was that. Nice to see Lashley back, that’s for sure.

The Authors of Pain defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

This was a burial, nothing more. I can’t believe how far the former Smackdown Champions have fallen.

Samoa Joe cut a promo on Roman Reigns

Cool!

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated Titus Worldwide in a Tag Team Eliminator Match

We very well may see Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt get the tag team titles next. The two are now Woken and are a team, and they beat up Titus Worldwide in a short match.

Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn ended in a No Contest

This was interesting, as the winner will get a job on Raw. Neither won, as there was a double 10 count loss, and while the match was good as per usual, the ending was kind of dumb.

Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Jeff Hardy defeated The Miz and The Miztourage

A great match this was not. It was good, but not great. The good guys flew through the ring and controlled a lot of it, including Jeff Hardy throwing down all of his moves and getting the crowd to go completely nuts for the tag team work that the guys did here. The Miz and Miztourage lose again.

Overall, Raw wasn’t too bad, and it was better than most weeks. However, it’s not something that I loved, and it didn’t have the same gusto that you’d get with other nights after Mania. It was good though, don’t get me wrong.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 27, 2017 Results and Review The Dumpster Fire

Asuka - Source WWE dot com 

Within a few minutes of the show starting I already regretted watching Raw. The announce team is nonsensical, and it’s just so bad, that I can’t wait to watch something else for another website that I write. I almost switched it to Spanish, because it’s so bad. I haven’t heard an announce team this bad since I watched last week’s Smackdown. I hate Phillips. Anyways, tonight was a terrible showcase of Raw, and you know it’s bad when you are watching the HULU version and say this. So let’s discuss what went down and how bad it could’ve been, because it was awful.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 27, 2017 Results and Review

Elias and The Miztourage showed up to crash the Roman Reigns introduction. Roman talks too much, and he wears the belt like he’s disrespecting it, which I hate. It’s stupid. Elias and Miz’s crew came out and said that he would take on Reigns for the IC title later in the show, and that was that.

Seth Rollins defeated Cesaro

I hate singles matches that carry out a feud for the tag division. I would rather see tag teams facing off to rise through the ranks to get a title shot. Not just this stupid cycle of single victories. Seth Rollins and Cesaro put on a good show, and they are great at what they do, but the bigger picture is about the tag team gold, and I didn’t really care about this at all, and I don’t know anyone that cared about it either. It’s stupid if you ask me. Good match though, so in that sense, this was the best part about Raw tonight.

Samoa Joe defeated Titus O’Neil

This was not shown on HULU.

Paige, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville confronted and beat down Sasha Banks

Not the boss any more are you Sasha? Wait, does she read my blog? Hey girl, hey?! The trio of new comers showed up and just beat down Banks and that’s that. Backstage her teammates were all taken out so it was Banks alone to get a beat down. Quick question, where was Nia Jax? Just asking.

Bray Wyatt defeated Matt Hardy

This was not shown on HULU.

Rich Swann defeated Akira Tozawa, Noam Dar, and Ariya Daivari

This was not shown on HULU.

Roman Reigns defeated Elias in the Intercontinental Title Match

Holy crap, Elias! Elias is like a jacked Macho Man, and he has all of the makings of a big star if you ask me. I don’t know how far they will push him, but he came out here and put the boots to Roman Reigns. Reigns was viciously attacked by Elias, and wow, what amazing showcase of talent. Even with the Miztourage helping, Roman Reigns would win, but this was not an easy fight for him at all. Elias shined here, and his top rope elbow drop would make even Macho Man proud.

Post match, Samoa Joe choked out Reigns on the ramp, and he may be next in line for an Intercontinental Title Shot, only to lose.

Asuka defeated Dana Brooke

This is just what it sounds like, a beat down. Dana Brooke didn’t last more than 5 seconds here, and that was that. She got buried.

Kane defeated Jason Jordan via Count Out

This was a terrible match. Jordan played that his knee was injured and got counted out. That prompted Finn Balor aka Alex Wright 2.0 to come out and fight Kane, only to lead to a disqualification when Braun Strowman interfered. What a pathetic showcase.

So that was that. This night of Raw felt like it was 4 hours long if you ask me. I can’t believe how awful this night of wrestling was, and you know what, it’s a dumpster fire that is going to continue until the Royal Rumble if you ask me. Oh well. Maybe Smackdown will be better?
