WWE RAW 11.04.22 Results & Ratings
Match 1 – Veer Mahaan defeated Dominik Mysterio by submission
It was a one and a half minutes squash. Dominik did some offences but could not move Veer from his feet. Veer made Dominik submit with the Cervical Clutch. One thing we must mention here, Veer screams a lot. WWE should check this out. This screaming thing does not go very well with today’s wrestling anymore.
After the match, Veer kept on beating down Dominik with Cervical Clutch. Dominik picked up a kayfabe injury and he was quickly taken to the hospital after this massive beat down.
Match 2 – AJ Styles vs. Damian Priest went to a no contest
It was an awkward match. It was going well for around 5 minutes, then AJ fell out of the ring. Damian gave a gesture on his knees and the lights of the arena went off. And that was it, the match never continued after that.
Match 3 – Cody Rhodes defeated The Miz
This match was booked for around eight minutes and it was a good match. Cody pinned Rhodes with the Cross Rhodes. After the match, Seth Rollins challenged Cody in a rematch from WrestleMania 38 which Cody accepted.
Backstage Tommaso Ciampa was seen standing when Elias or Ezekiel what he was, joined him. Tommaso address him as Ezekiel. Kevin Owens came out and said that he is not Ezekiel but Elias. Tommaso was not ready to accept him as Elias. It was a funny segment.
Match 4 – Naomi defeated Liv Morgan
It was a short two minutes long match where there was nothing special to talk about. Naomi pinned Liv with a roll up. It seemed like Liv would win since she defeated Sasha last week on SmackDown. But that did not happen.
MVP was supposed to host Omos on the VIP Lounge talk show. But Bobby Lashley invaded the ring first. MVP amd Omos stood on the ring. MVP and Lashley argued over superiority. MVP said Lashley would not survive the next clash against Omos.
Next up was a segment over the 24/7 Championship. The segment was meaningless and bad. We do not know what they are thinking but this segment is slowly becoming completely meaningless.
Austin Theory vs. Finn Balor had been booked for next week. One more thing, Austin Theory’s name had been changed. From now on he will only be addressed as only Theory. How worse could it go? Theory? Seriously?
Match 5 – Bianca Belair defeated Queen Zelina
This match was booked for 2 minutes and it was an easy victory for Bianca. She literally toyed with Zelina, Zelina was totally humiliated in this match. Bianca pinned her with the KOD. Not a great match but a filler of course.
After the match, Sonya Deville entered the ring and talked about the possible next opponents for Bianca. She surprised everyone by announcing herself as the next opponent of Bianca. She attacked Bianca from behind and beat her down. Hopefully she is coming back to action on a full time basis now. It was a very good segment.
Match 6 – RK-Bro defeated The Alpha Academy
This match was booked for around 5 minutes and it was not a bad match. It was just another regular routine tag team match to promote the Tag Team champions. Randy Orton pinned Chad Gable with the RKO to secure the victory for his side.
Match 7 – The Usos defeated The Street Profits
After the previous match, The Usos came out to challenge RK-Bro in a unification match. The Street Profits also got involved in this segment and we got this match. Indeed it was the best match of the night and it was booked for around 12 minutes. Jimmy Uso pinned Montez Ford after 1D finisher. After the match, RK-Bro and the Usos posed with their respective titles as this week’s RAW went off air.
Overall this week’s RAW was quite a good week of Monday Night RAW. Of course there were a number of big flaws, but it was definitely a better show than last week. 24/7 Championship segment is still absolutely awful. After whatever Kevin Owens went through, he deserved better storylines. We give it 2 stars out of 5.
