This week’s RAW started as a short teaser of the storyline of the Bloodline was shown, how Sami was a subject of doubt for the rest of the Bloodline and specially Jey Uso, and how Sami remained loyal to the Bloidline at Survivor Series when he hit his best friend Kevin Owens to help Bloodline to gain the victory inside WarGames.
The show started as Becky Lynch came out to the arena. She expressed her feeling on her return and she went to the crowd. She started talking to the fans personally. It was such a feel good moment and these type of segments are very uncommon in WWE. She even let some random fans talk over the mic.

Bayley came out and she demanded respect from the fans since she was involved in some of the brutal matches for the last four months. She also said that Becky Lynch does not deserve the support she is getting. Becky was standing on the crowd and she got attacked Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky. Bayley also joined the attack. The fight went to backstage and Becky kept om fighting three women all by herself. Securities had to come out to stop them.
Match 1 – Rhea Ripley vs. Mia Yim ended in a no contest
The match went on for seven minutes but there were enough outside interferences that led the match went to no contest. Nobody in particular dominated the match. At the end of the match when Mia was getting the control, Dominik Mysterio was causing distractions. AJ Styles came out and attacked Dominik inside the ring which made the referee call for the bell.
Judgment Day and OC also joined the fight. As Judgement Day was attempting to leave, AJ Styles challenged to them in an 8 person mixed tag team match. The match became official and even a referee joined the frame. They kept on fighting even before the start of the match.
Match 2 – The Judgment Day defeated The OC
This 8 person mixed tag team match was booked for over 13 minutes and it was a very entertaining match. The babyface side, especially Mia Yim was the most dominant of them all. Yim completely dominated Rhea in this match which might not be a very good look for the push the Australian was receiving. At the end, Mia was beating down everyone as Rhea quickly hit a Riptide and pinned her.
The Bloodline came out to the arena. Jimmy Uso explained how they conquered they are opponents at the war games. Sami thanked Jimmy for always supporting and trusting him. He then went to Jey and said that for the past 6 months they could not be on the same page, but finally they are altogether and they hugged each other.
Kevin Owens came out to the arena. He said that he did not want to fight with Sami Zayn, either he wanted to team up with him, he was just done with him. Sami said that he felt in the same way because he had a family now. Owens said that he was very happy for him since he was finally getting the recognition he deserved. But no matter whatever he does, he would never be their blood and a family member of the Bloodline.
Jey Uso said that he did not have to care about him. But if he had a problem with Sami Zayn, he had a problem with Jey Uso. Owens said that he might be done with Sami ‘Uso’ but he can definitely go one on one with Jey and he challenged him in a match. Jey accepted the challenge.
Match 3 – The Street Profits defeated The Alpha Academy
This match was booked for 12 minutes and it was a pretty good and entertaining match. Just one thing about it, did it really need such a long booking time? But we can understand, a show with no world title picture, no Tag Team title picture, still it is a three hour show. So they had to do something to spend the time. So we get it. Montez Ford pinned Chad Gable with the Frog Splash to earn the victory for his side.
The new WWE United States champion Austin Theory came out to the arena. bragged about his victory at Survivor Series and he cleamd to be the face of Monday Night RAW. Seth Rollins interfered him and the duo had a heated argument. Rollins challenged Austin Theory for the title at the end and Theory say that he would definitely fight him but not tonight.
Match 4 – Anything Goes Match – Dexter Lumis defeated The Miz
We finally hope this is the end of this long running boring feud. Miz trying to prevent the match by faking injuries but Adam Pearce forced him to go into the match. Lumis got a dominant Submission victory and at the end he took away tje bag of money from the Miz. He handed over some money to some random kids in the crowd. We are really not sure if they were real money. Miz tried to escape with the money but Johnny Gargano nailed him with a Super Kick and handed over the money bag to Lumis.
Match 5 – Candice LeRae defeated Dakota Kai
Another good match and it was booked for over 11 minutes. Kudos to Dakota Kai who fought in such a long match after performing for a brutal 40 minute long WarGames match just two nights ago. The match was pretty fun. It was a straight forward match where Bayley and Iyo were taken out by the referee earlier. Candice pinned Dakota with a neck breakker from on top rope.
Backstage Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss and Asuka were interviewed by Cathy Kelley and was asked about their victory two nights ago. Bianca and Asuka give their views but Alexa looked a little absent minded. Maybe WWE is planning something new for the 5 Feet of Fury.
Match 6 – Kevin Owens defeated Jey Uso
This was of course the best match of the night. This was not only a pay per view standard match but a WrestleMania worthy performance. The match was booked for over 20 minutes and back to back near falls made the match even more special. Owens kept on kicking out of one after another Super Kick. Finally Owens pinned Jey with a Stunner and quickly escaped as this week’s RAW went off air.
Overall it was one of the better shows of Monday Night RAW in the recent weeks. For the past number of weeks, RAW had been really below average. This week RAW was nothing special but somehow better than some of the previous episodes. The main event of the night was really amazing. However, no title feud apart from the United States title is a big down fall. Dexter Lumis – Miz storyline finally ended which is another good news. We give this week’s RAW 2 out of 5.
