ToggleThings were slightly better for WWE Raw on this week’s show. Braun Strowman came out to open the show in a huge reaction from the crowd. This man is more than ‘over’ with the fans. They don’t bother whoever he beats up be it a heel or face. They just want him to deliver beatdowns on weekly basis. Kurt Angle created room for the same by announcing a match between him and Finn Balor.
Damn that was another bad segment. Neither guy got any reaction. I’ve never been a big Bobby Lashley fan, but he’s better than how they’re booking him. Lashley is the one big guy that Vince McMahon has no idea of how to book. Go figure. Career damaging feud. #RAW

This contest was far better than last week’s WWE Raw. The crowd reacted to it once things got intense in the finishing segment. Owens ran down to it to make things disqualified. This handed over the fans another exciting segment. Strowman ran over Owens as always to entertain the crowd. He also took out Bobby Roode, another member of WWE Raw.
Not the greatest opener I’ve ever seen, but not the worst. After watching the Lashley’s sisters segment last week, all in ring segments are amazing in comparison. Strowman is definitely over, Balor is definitely cringey on the mic. Now it’s time for a rematch. #RAW

Furthermore, speaking of WWE Raw brings us to the nightmare segment between Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley. We are sorry to say that it continued even on this week. It’s surprising to see the writing team giving the almost similar segments to these two, continuously. The two of the barely received any sort of reactions from the fans. It was another bad segment, to be honest.
Seth Rollins can do no wrong right now. One of the best wrestlers going right now. It’s like the old saying goes: “He can wrestle a broomstick and make it exciting.” Mahal was the broomstick, and Rollins made it a good match. #RAW

But, the saviour of WWE Raw turned out to be Seth Rollins, again. This man can’t do anything wrong inside the ring, currently. He continued to deliver entertaining match even with a not-so-quick wrestler like Mahal. We had a food fight featuring all the tag teams present on the roster. Seeing such older things on the flagship program is always good for the fans.
Bringing Sasha Banks up as a face continues to be a big mistake. Banks just doesn’t have it as a face whatsoever. The reaction for her was pretty poor. Then again, the crowd wasn’t into this match much at all. That’s a result of them realizing this show meant nothing. #RAW

The main event of WWE Raw was the Gauntlet Match among seven competitors.
In addition, Sasha Banks was the favourite to win and there was no otherwise in the match outcome. But the audience was not invested in the contest. The main problem is that a face Sasha Banks is not what’s ‘best for business’. I hope the creative team is listening to the fan’s pledge.
Overall there was nothing awful about this show like there was last week, but this was just a show that happened that basically meant nothing and was almost all filler. Typical whenever there it’s a holiday or a championship game is on. Perfect storm tonight: all happened. #RAW
