This home version Monday night raw Absolutely no one will bring it.But while this summary is really hosted by you, Claire Blog obligations As usual.
The Royal rumble It’s January 29th. Are you ready for WWE? Dig into it and find out.
let’s talk Raw!!
Don’t boo your birthday
Mizu is a terrible singer. Fortunately for us, he is a pretty good wrestler. So Miz can make it work even in the most typical professional sports entertainment wrestling segment, like Maryse’s birthday celebration. In fact, Maryse, Edge, and Beth Phoenix are all, RawThe best story to enter Royal rumble..
Last week, Maryse beat Beth with a brick for those who missed football or just for life. Yes, it’s a brick. Sure, it was wrapped in a leather wallet, but it was still a brick. Chaos occurred when Edge and Maryse hit the ring, and Ms and Maryse guards were sent one by one in an ode to tag past teams.
And it was cool.But this was the main event angle of the homecoming show Royal rumble.. I know. “Rumble sells itself,” you’re probably telling yourself.And maybe they really aren’t need To give us a hook other than a bunch of camera guys saying how much they want to win. But this is a visual medium, people. Show instead of tell, it’s still the name of the game, and it’s a game that WWE played very well.What main event star Raw How much they knew I want Do you need to win?
Kevin Owens suddenly became interested in the US Championship and Seth Rollins is fighting for the Universal Championship. Bobby Lashley will face Brock Lesnar and the Big E will be in milk carton status earlier this month. This speaks to a bigger problem within WWE. This is a black hole that is a photo of both men’s championships, but especially the treatment of second-class citizens of the WWE Championship.
Does anyone really believe that the Street Profits, The Mysterios, or Dirty Dawgz are all looking to win the main event spot? Wrestlemania?? Maybe Ray, and that’s because he’s the coverboy of their (hopefully) rehabed video game. But in most cases it doesn’t calculate.
WWE has spent much of last year and the past few months telling us that these championships have permanent housing. To make matters worse, not many cats are reserved to look like competent competitors in either case. No one believes, and no three men like Steve Austin, Bret Hart, and Shawn Michaels need to be the last to stand more than they need oxygen. ..
Than that Raw When I was ready to bleed with someone and burn the entire arena to defeat the other 29, I got Beth and Edge and posed for a camera that looked like I was ready to join the mosh pit. ..
Need to talk about Damian
Don’t chop up the words here. “Damian” isn’t working. I waxed this semi-poetically a few weeks ago, but this week I made it clearer than the white crystal. Damian Priest defended his US title against Kevin Owens as Kevin Owens brought his first defeat on the main roster last week. Damian’s “I’m not a murderer, but don’t push me” personality means he gets DQs often. WWE solved this once when he wrestled with Dolph Ziggler. Surprisingly, the priest knew that the DQ meant the end of his championship reign, so he controlled himself.
But there are matches like this week. DQ means he takes L and holds the gold. Do you guess how it ended? And that’s a shame because the priest and KO had a pretty good contest before the ending. The priest lost it when KO suffered another injury and managed to retain the title. The spectators were always on the side of the KO and unleashed the booing bird correctly when the match was over. No, Damian, they weren’t yelling “boos”.
The priest’s current gimmick means that someone loses his composure, so he keeps his title damned near every match. It was cheap, rendered the match pointlessly, and cheered the crowd on the supposed heels for at least a week.And we not yet I don’t know where the gimmick goes or why it exists!
Huh, okay, I’m done now. Continue with the rest of the summary.
Extracurricular
Gain weight
Brock Lesnar doesn’t take Bobby Lashley seriously, he doesn’t take the WWE Championship seriously, he doesn’t take this segment seriously. Rushley and Lesner participated in the weighing. Why? To us, both men are incredibly large and can flip most human heads like grapes. Lesner’s outfit, attitude, and overall atmosphere made it very interesting. Rushley still wants Lesner to see him as a threat, but that’s just not happening.
I have nothing more to say RawOpening segment. It worked because the people involved made it work. It’s not because the weighing idea did anything for this match or promoted the story. We are still where we were last week, the week before, and the week before.
From spelling to sports entertainment
Everything that RK-Bro and Alpha Academy do is a home run. These four cats took a potentially ridiculous thing, the spelling bee, and made it work. Chaz Gable is still burning as a descendant of Kurt Angle. That very specific character needs an egg on their face as a revenge for their moody, so of course Chad was a weak link to Spelling Bee.
His reaction to the correct spelling of the wrong word, abandoned by Kevin Patricks’ Irish accent, was valuable. That meant two things. RK-Bro chose the second round of this intellectual triathlon contest, and Randy Orton challenged Gable.
And what did it match? These two worked really well, embraced psychology and weren’t afraid to brawl. We got multiple table spots, some erroneous finishes, and scooters. Yes, Riddle hit Otis with a scooter. More than once.
In the end, Randy sought to win at RKO and Riddle challenged the academy for next week’s scooter race. Raw.. also? Otis and Gable officially entered the rumble.
If you can’t play the match, take a look at it. Even the Dorper, who came to Dope RKO and is sold by Gable, stays on Otis’ face when the word “scooter race” is spoken.
Big bang theory
So Vince McMahon and Austin Theory are still happening. What are the drawbacks? Vince McMahon and Austin Theory are still happening. What’s the good side? The result was a great match featuring Theory and AJ Styles.
Theory wanted to prove itself before Royal rumble Earn a favorable entry spot. At his first encounter a week ago, AJ wanted revenge for Austin’s rude acts. Following Randy Orton and Chad Gable, these two knew they needed to appear and appear. So, yeah, they did it.
Despite taking AJ’s step, AJ eventually won because Austin did his best to deceive the path to victory. It was a noisy warm-up, a showcase for Theory, and a way to regain momentum on the Styles side.
Rumble prep
Shocker, The Street Profits and Mysterios had a very good tag match. Who knew?The match evolved from a friendly competition a week ago, with all four men Wrestlemania Main event. Rey Mysterio won for his team as he won, of course. WWE 2K22 Making his trailer debut tonight, Ray got the flowers as a cover wrestler. Did you really think his team was losing? Or did he not get the pin?
Typically Royal rumble fashion. After the match was over, many people were thrown out of the ring. Even Dirty Dawgz took part in the action. But the problem was that none of these cats looked serious. Throwing each other over the ropes felt like it was essentially a laugh rather than a serious desire to win the biggest match of their career.
More RumlePrep
Carmella, Nicky ASH and Tahmina on one side of the ring were six female tag matches, and on the other side Dana Brook, Rive Morgan and Rhea Ripley were all about it. Royal rumble.. This wasn’t a long contest and it didn’t really work for me. It does not indicate a woman, but an accusation of the length of time given. Rhea, who needed a breeze on her back a few weeks later, won her team’s submission victory.
Of course, Nicky Ash took in post-match Rick, so Rhea would take revenge on her mind during the rumble match. Will Rhea distract Nikki from Rumble’s victory? Quoting Miz, of course.
Two rooms. One interview
Rebecca Quin and Dadrop conducted a one-on-one video interview. Nobody is saying anything new, so I know how this went. Dadrop wants to give his name and claim the throne. Becky got the meta and she talked about another name for filling out the card, Dadrop, until Becky became associated with her. Cool, cool. If that alone wasn’t enough to create dock points for this segment, you’ll find that they are only 10 feet apart from each other. Dadddrop eventually left the camera and took a minute to reach Becky and throw his hand.
Why did we even suffer from video interviews?
Everything welcomes EST
This match was … My love for Bianca Belair is well documented and Queen Zerina hasn’t succumbed. However, this match was a waste of their time. understood.Bianca needs to gain momentum Royal Rumble. But can’t you achieve putting her against someone whose comic relief isn’t half the royal family? Zelina can go, but so far she hasn’t even been presented as a minor threat to someone like Berea. The match proved that point.
Analyze this
I still really like Alexa. And still I really hate these treatment segments. But it’s not her fault. Alexa does everything it can to get the most out of it, at least to be able to monitor it. Bliss therapists say she’s making progress, so it won’t be long before she’s alive and in person.
The lack of build of the actual rumble itself cannot be overcome. Or even the fact that no one is positioned as a favorite. Or the fact that the match feels like a retrofit to everything else happening at the show. That said, there were some good matches and some interesting segments this week. That is very important in my book.
Another thing I’d like to change is that Edge and Beth’s revenge wasn’t a running story throughout the show. I’m sorry, but if someone hits me with a brick, I’m not waiting until the show is almost over. The running story of Beth and her husband wandering around for Maryse and her husband is just right to lead to the ultimate showdown during Maryse’s birthday.At present, the angle is Raw It was okay this week.
Grade: B-
That’s my grade and I’m sticking to it. Your turn.
