This week’s RAW started with the official weight measurement for Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley. Both athletes came out to the ring and Lashley checked his weight first, it was 273 lbs. And Brock Lesnar’s weight turned out to be 286 lbs. After the measurement, they had a heated conversation.
Match 1 – Bianca Belair defeated Zelina Vega
WWE RAW 24.01.2022 Results & Ratings
This match was booked for nearly four minutes it was not a bad match. Both wrestlers had their chances of offenses. At the end of the match, Belair pinned Zelina with the KOD.
Match 2 – WWE United States Championship – Kevin Owens defeated Damian Priest by DQ
Last week Owens defeated the undefeated streak of Priest so he got a title opportunity. This match is booked for over six minutes. Once again the anger management of Priest came into the way has he got disqualified at the end. Surely the feud is not over yet.
Match 3 – Liv Morgan, Dana Brooke and Rhea Ripley defeated Carmella, Tamina and Nikki ASH
The match was not even given a two minutes booking time. If you are booking if 6 man tag team match give it at least 5 minutes time. Rhea Ripley made Carmella submit to earn the victory for her side.
Next up was the Alpha academic competition between the Alpha Academy and RK-Bro. It was nothing but a spelling test. The whole segment was quite funny but Randy Orton is too good for such segments. Ultimately it was won by RK-Bro.
Match 4 – Randy Orton defeated Chad Gable
Can’t believe they booked this match for nearly eleven minutes. But with so much time and two such great wrestlers involved in the match, they could only book a boring match. Orton pinned Gable with an RKO.
Match 5 – AJ Styles defeated Austin Theory
This match has to be the biggest talking point about this week. What an excellent match it was! Both wrestlers were really phenomenal in this match. The whole segment was booked for nearly 14 minutes and it was quite intense. Styles pinned Theory with the Phenomenal Forearm.
Next up was a pre taped promo war between the WWE Raw Women’s champion Becky Lynch and her Challenger for Royal Rumble Doudrop. It was quite long, it did not need to be this long.
Match 6 – The Mysterios defeated The Street Profits
It was a short but good match. It was booked for five minutes and it was fun. Rey Mysterio pinned Angelo Dawkins to pick up the victory for his side. We believe Street Profits should have won this match. After the match, The Dirty Dogs attacked both teams.
The main event segment of the night was the birthday celebration of Maryse. The whole segment was pretty much predictable. Miz and Maryse started the celebration as Edge and Beth Phoenix broke into it, they beat down the security guards and destroyed the celebration. Edge and Beth Phoenix stood tall inside the ring as this week’s RAW went off air.
As a go home show, it was pretty weak of a show. There should have been at least one preview Battle Royal organized featuring the jobbers. The best part of this event was the match between AJ styles and Austin Theory. Without this match, it would have been a terrible show. We give this show 2 out of 5.
