It was quite a unique contest on last night’s episode of WWE Raw when the focal point was on competition rather than storyline angles and gimmicks. By virtue of that, we have received the longest-ever competition in the history of the flagship show which ran over 115 minutes.
Also, Rollins competed over one hour in the match which should be considered as a benchmark performance.
It was good to see him getting the pinfall win against none other than the franchise player of the company. The audience was loudly booing him from the beginning and hence was happy to see The Architect getting the win eliminating the Big Dog.
Moreover, it was a clean pinfall win without any interference which is why the significance of this match was high.
Gutsy performance from Seth Rollins. His cardio is off the charts. Didn’t slow down at all despite the exhaustion. #RAW

The treat for the audience continued with another huge match between John Cena and Seth Rollins.
The Iowa-native put an end to all the stops to win the bout against Cenation Leader and even hit an AA on the originator, himself.
There were suicidal dives, STF, Sling-blade going on everywhere that prevented the audience from blinking their eyes. In the end, Rollins defeated the other franchise player of the company by clean pinfall.
This #GauntletMatch is impressive as all hell. Rollins has been going for over an hour ago and has had very good matches with Reigns and Cena. Not sure how the attention span will be for the casual viewer, but I love this. Wrestling on a wrestling show. What a concept! #RAW

The winner of the match was quite certain in the form of Braun Strowman. This man is literally unstoppable, nowadays and hence this win was reserved for him.
It was good to see another behemoth, Nia Jax picking up the momentums, by her side en route to the Elimination Chamber PPV night.
Excellent #GauntletMatch. It’ll be tough to beat that for my favorite match of the month. It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I love wrestling and this gave me a ton of wrestling. Great time killer. #RAW

The interesting thing about last night’s main event was the bond between Alexa Bliss and Mickie James that is continuing for over two weeks. They hinted it to carry forward even at the Elimination Chamber match, as well on this Sunday.
They put away the Absolution to end an overall good show of WWE Raw leaving us starving for more as we head towards the last Raw-exclusive PPV.
Overall, this was a very good episode of #RAW. A tremendous #GauntletMatch highlights a wrestling show that featured all wrestling tonight. This show flew by because of it. It was a better solution than inundating us with tons of pointless segments. Great stuff.

That was finally a presentation of what Seth Rollins should have been the minute he returned from injury nearly two years ago. #RAW pic.twitter.com/jQ4qWdgIvj
