WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Your Winners, and NEW... Now, that’s how you start Raw. RK-Bro, Alpha Academy, and Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens battled in a triple threat tag match for the ages. Or at least until WWE runs the replays into the ground and makes us all nauseous. Each team needed the W to get to WrestleMania. That’s the story, plain and simple. The other story is just how great KO and Seth are together. They were the best team tonight, constantly isolating their opponents, attacking in unison, and just being several steps ahead of everyone else. IF Seth and KO built on their shared momentum of the past few weeks, then Alpha Academy was in search of their mojo. The soon-to-be former tag champs found a level of desperation unseen until this week. Chad Gable and Otis did everything in their considerable power to keep Randy Orton out of the match. In fact, everyone wanted to keep the Viper at ringside. Otis dragged Riddle away from his partner whenever he got the chance, while Seth and KO often acted in stereo keeping Randy out of the match. For most of the match, it was either Chad and the Tree Trunk in control or the two bestest friends. And that makes sense, right? RK-Bro is a dope team, duh. But these two teams are, in a lot of ways, better. RK-Bro is fueled by friendship while the other two just want to dominate their opponents and feature four people who, more than anything else, needed to be at Mania. Sure, Randy is always intense, but Riddle seems like a cat who can take it or leave it. Which explains him getting isolated in this match and so many of their matches. When Randy finally made his way into the match, hitting his trademark snap DDT, scoop powerslams, and general violence, everything broke down. This is what every team wanted to avoid for 35 minutes. Randy equals chaos and that’s where anything goes. That anarchy is how we got to our final decision, and it was a hell of a sequence. Gable goes for a Moonsault, only for Orton to catch him in mid-air for an RKO. My eyes got wide and I yelled words not suitable for small children. After they broke up Randy’s pin attempt, the team of Seth and KO went for a repeat of last week. Buckle bomb to Gable, followed by a Stunner, followed by a Curb Stomp, and then a win. Right? Yeah, no. Waiting in the wings the entire time was the guy who took the brunt of the punishment. The supposed weak link in RK-Bro watched all of this unfold. I never took my eye off of him because while he was out of the ring seemingly hurt, he never truly looked hurt. Riddle was a guy looking for his moment to strike, which was telegraphed earlier in the match when Riddle looked ready for a pin attempt while a couple people weren’t paying attention. This time, he was successful. Riddle tossed Seth out of the ring and stole the victory, along with the tag team championships. Dope match, great way to open the show—even if it went a tad long for my taste—and compelling due to the stakes. Randy and Riddle celebrated, Randy used the “f” word. No, not that one. Friendship. Get your minds out of the gutter, heathens. KO and Rollins were dejected after the match. And while we can bet both of them are showing at WrestleMania, how they get there is the story. Alpha Academy needs something to do though and it better be great. They put in work as tag champs, with both men upping their games and Chad really coming into his own. The Rest IT’S TIME! What’s the best way to celebrate Vader finally going into WWE’s Hall of Fame? First, for anyone who wasn’t around to see this back in the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8fX3kPJamE Secondly, enjoy one of the greatest theme songs in wrestling history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwK4Ox0msao Well deserved, Big Van. Austin, Austin, Austin! Props to KO for keeping it consistent. As a proud Canadian, there’s no way he can invite Shawn Michaels to The KO Show. Even as a devout Shawn Michaels fan, I respect it. Bret Hart is smiling somewhere. Anyway, KO, finally figuring out how to get on WrestleMania, went down a list of Texans he didn’t want on his show. Owens then did everything but mention Steve Austin by name before finally saying it all with his chest: He called out ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. This is one of the worst kept secrets in professional sports entertainment, and while I look forward to seeing the Rattlesnake, this was a very weird way to end Raw. Made weirder by the fact it sounded like they played Austin’s music in the arena when everyone on the other side of the curtain knows he wasn’t in the building. Bron Breakker is (Still) Your Hookup I have one problem with this otherwise solid tag match and Raw debut for NXT Champion Bron Breakker. Corey Graves, as heel commentators often do, wondered how much Bron can trust Tommaso Ciampa. Which, in itself is okay. But when there’s no trace of that in the ring, it feels like wasted storytelling. To that point though, showing Bron and Ciampa not entirely on the same page adds more intrigue to their upcoming triple threat match with Dolph Ziggler for the NXT championship. Bron looked good on Raw and it’s easy to envision him as a permanent fixture on Monday nights. And the wrestling was solid! Just wish the actual story matched the quality of the wrestling. Triple the Threat, Triple the Fun I had fun with this tag match between Rhea Ripley & Liv Morgan and Queen Zelina and Carmella. The tag champs actually dominated for a bit until one of them forgot she was in a match. I wanted to cry foul when Carmella ducked out of the last half of the match to whisper sweet nothings to Graves, but it was clear this was just the prelude to her being on the losing side. Rhea and Liv are going to WrestleMania as part of a triple threat tag match for the tag titles Carmella seemingly cares very little for. Edge-planation Edge explained his reasoning for his actions last week. Long and short of it: He did it for The Rock. Nope, sorry, wrong wrestler, wrong era. His actual reason was he did it for AJ Styles. Edge said he wants the bulldog AJ and this is the best way to get it. Turns out AJ did Edge a favor as well, introducing Edge to a new side of himself. The side who dresses in suits and stares into cameras like a psycho. It was fine because Edge knows what he’s doing, but it felt short and didn’t tell us anything Edge didn’t say last week as far as what he wants. Killer Priest Finn Balor and Austin Theory had a pretty good match this week. Theory is really smooth in the ring and Finn sold how much he was in jeopardy until his comeback. Theory needs to look strong going into his match with Pac Mac at WrestleMania—I know how silly that sounds—and taking Finn to the limit is a good way to accomplish that goal. What started as a brawl between two men who really don’t like each other ended when Damian Priest inserted himself into the action. Theory was disqualified, Priest beat up on Finn, and Theory followed suit with selfies. True Love? The long running—way too long if you ask me—feud with Reggie and Dana Brooke on one side and Tozawa and Tamina on the other continues. It’s now about romance. Dana beat Tamina in what feels like their 100th match meaning I’ve rolled both eyes at least 100 times. I get you need a cool down after the triple tag open but whew, talk about a momentum killer. The crowd want Tamina and Tozawa to be a thing. Cool, I guess. Big Men “There’s always a bigger fish” —Obi Wan Kenobi. That’s what I thought about when Omos and Commander Azeez faced off after Omos basically squashed Apollo Crews. Look Omos’ story is the same as, what feels like a half the roster: I want to be at WrestleMania. Effectively, his story is he has no story. Running the “I need a WrestleMania match or moment” angle for one person is fine. But doing that for several people on your roster? It’s lazy. Azeez and Omos looks like it’s happening. And I couldn’t care less because..why should I? Cleveland Rocks Miz, Logan Paul, and Jerry Lawler hit the ring to celebrate Cleveland. And no, I’m not calling it “The Land.” Damn you, LeBron for making that stick. The crowd initially loved Miz, but turned as soon as he said his hometown doesn’t deserve to host a WestleMania. More importantly, it sowed the seeds for Paul eventually turning on his partner. Unlike the other Cleveland native in the ring, Paul loves his city and looked miffed at Miz kicking dirt on a place they both called “home.” This was a very inconsistent show this week. Unsurprisingly, and to no one’s fault, Raw never reached the heights of its opening triple threat tag match. We set up some potential Mania matches, solidified a few more, and KO called out Austin. Maybe that opening spoiled me but this was a very flat show, which is about average for Monday Night Raw. An average grade for an average show. Grade: C |

WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Ricochet won his first Intercontinental championship on this show, beating Sami Zayn in a really fun match that showcased every reason Ricochet should be getting to have matches like this on television far more often. It’s just fun watching him fly around and do what he does. It helped they had a good story to build off here, with Zayn not wanting to lose his baby and Johnny Knoxville showing up to ensure that’s exactly what happened. Those two are going to fight it out at WrestleMania, and that should be great fun. But it doesn’t look like it will be for the Intercontinental championship, and it’s probably better that way. Let’s see what Ricochet can do with the damn thing. Doesn’t it just feel good that he’s champion? I don’t know how many of you play Call of Duty, or follow the professional scene, but I’m a big fan of the CDL and watch plenty of the pro players on Twitch and what not. Not unlike pro wrestling, the pro scene in Call of Duty has its own language. The nature of a game like COD is such that it’s paramount that you keep your composure while playing, lest you find yourself playing poorly simply because you got too frustrated at how random it can all be. When something particularly frustrating happens, pro players will often say “I just lost composure.” When it goes really bad, to the point of no return, they say “I just lost full.” Folks, Roman Reigns has lost full. It wasn’t what he said, it was the way he went about saying it: I like that they’re playing this like a man who is shook that the absolute biggest threat to his reign is the guy who is next and everything he’s thrown at him hasn’t worked out in his favor. He knows how dangerous the road ahead is, and he’s kinda losing his mind at the prospect of coming up short when it matters most. That’s notable because, not unlike COD, things tend to go incredibly wrong when you can’t keep your composure in high pressure situations. That could cost Reigns everything, and it’s one hell of a selling point for a title unification match. The biggest match in WrestleMania history, as they’re calling it. Lesnar is relaxed and having blast, and that can’t be helping Roman’s headspace either. This should only get better from here. We got our first angle for Pat McAfee on the road to his first match at WrestleMania and it included an appearance from the one and only … uh … Austin Theory? Yep! Initial rumors and reports suggested WWE was considering McAfee vs. Vince McMahon at the big show, one that still needs to sell a lot of tickets. But they didn’t announce as much when Vinny Mac went on Pat’s podcast and instead simply went with an offer for McAfee to work a match on the show. He accepted, of course, with glee. That’s why we knew Theory was coming for him when he showed up talking trash. He claimed Vince set Pat up with the podcast appearance, and how he really feels is that McAfee is a loud mouth and everyone wants him shut up. So Theory showed up to deliver the news that he would be the guy to do that at WrestleMania. For his part, McAfee played like he had no idea who Theory even is, even responding to a slap in the face with more surprise than anger. He called him a “little bitch” and then blamed Michael Cole. It didn’t do a lot to get me hyped for the prospect of seeing these two in a match together, to be honest. McAfee being so dismissive of his opponent is generally a bad thing, considering it’s clear even he doesn’t take him seriously. We’ll see where this goes. I’m not even ready to accept this is actually the match we end up with. Ronda Rousey headlined this show, so I feel like I need to talk about what she did on it. The only problem is there just isn’t that much to say. WWE is selling her as the dominant world beater she was when she took the MMA world by storm, still calling her the “baddest woman on the planet” and showcasing her running through Sonya Deville with next to no issue, even with SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair ringside to be a distraction. Then, after swatting Deville away like an annoying fly, she threw an ankle lock on Flair and closed the show standing tall. It looked like we were being told to get ready for a coronation at WrestleMania. Maybe that’s the case. I don’t really know how to feel about it. Shrug. All the Rest WWE did something new to start SmackDown this week, showcasing many of the wrestlers to be featured on the show in brief promos to get us tuned up for the evening. No one said anything groundbreaking but I like the idea behind it more generally. We got our first taste of the new women’s tag team title feud, with Naomi getting the better of Carmella without much effort. Sasha Banks was there to assist her when Queen Zelina tried to interfere, an easy showcase of their superior teamwork. Seems like a title run in their future, no? Drew McIntyre beat Jinder Mahal in a simple singles match to heat him up on his way to Happy Corbin at WrestleMania. Not much to this. McIntyre cut an impassioned promo after but I’m having a hard time caring about this feud at all at this point. It just feels like such a step down for McIntyre. BOOGS still rules to me, dammit!The Viking Raiders never really felt like a threat to The Usos, but at least they had a fun title match before moving on from it.Big E has been rolling around on that ATV for like two weeks, and that’s all it took before Ridge Holland took a chair to it and then stole it with Sheamus. Those two sons of two bitches then completely destroyed it backstage with sledgehammers. How I really hate them. This was a pretty good show! Grade: B+ |
