RAW

It’s officially Post-WrestleMania time, so events will slow down a bit and we can take time to catch our breath. This is also a time for newer, younger superstars who we may not be quite as familiar with to receive a plethora of opportunities. With that being said, let’s get to the weekly events that … Read moreWelcome to the Grind – Dream Match, Anyone?

Considering Raw historically focuses more on the mic work and promo ability of its superstars, and SmackDown generally provides a heavier concentration on the in-ring work of performers, this dynamic may be in for somewhat of a change with the likes of Andrade and AJ Styles switching brands. A surprising number of superstars switched brands, … Read moreThe Raw Layout of the Land

This episode lived up to its billing as the single most exciting episode of the year, headlined this year by Seth Rollins, Kofi Kingston, and Sami Zayn. WWE may be thinking of unifying the men’s and women’s championships. This may be a somewhat ill-advised decision if this is indeed the route WWE is going given … Read moreA New Era for WWE & Sami Zayn Speaks the Truth

The final touches are being put on storylines heading into WrestleMania. I will begin by talking again about the women and the stipulation that was added to the main event. The fact that both titles will be on the line is awesome and tells me, as well as all other fans, that the two WWE … Read moreWrestleMania 35 is Upon Us

The women finally get an official opportunity to headline WrestleMania. Many people thought this should be the main event, and it makes perfect sense for Vince McMahon to place Ronda Rousey in this situation because she is arguably his biggest star, other than Brock Lesnar. That whole “beat the clock challenge” last night made no … Read moreTriple H Fancy Mic Work & Women Rise to Headline

To start things off this week, I would like to discuss what transpired at the beginning of Raw in the confrontation between Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre. If Lesnar retains his title at WrestleMania, and, unfortunately, that possibility needs to be acknowledged, then this very well may be the main event at SummerSlam. I have … Read moreBuildups to WrestleMania Stay Strong

It’s a pleasant surprise that WWE is finally finding something productive to do with Shelton Benjamin. He is clearly one of the most talented superstars on the roster but is rarely used for some reason. I’m not questioning the decision about how often he is used, it’s just rather unfortunate to see him not being … Read moreRush Redemption & Shelton Surprises

The biggest topic of discussion from Monday Night Raw this week is the reuniting of The Shield. It’s a smart decision for WWE and for Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns respectively. From the standpoint of Ambrose, it’s easy to figure out why this is a good decision because he is leaving the company … Read moreReuniting of The Shield

Roman Reigns has never strayed too far from any fan’s mind from the time he was re-diagnosed with leukemia to right now when he announced his return. I had absolute faith in him that he would come back sooner rather than later. I was getting very emotional when he was talking in the ring. I … Read moreRoman R-E-I-G-N-S Returns, Ric Flair’s 70th & Rousey Steps Up

I don’t have much new content to write about from Raw this week. I don’t want to waste my readers’ time going over something that I have gone over many times in the past. With that being said, I am a huge fan of the way WWE is evolving how they open Monday Night Raw … Read moreThey Weren’t Too Into The Action

No need to worry, this is all a storyline to set up a triple threat match at WrestleMania with Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair. It is a little bit surprising, however, in terms of how WWE decided to go about it, with Becky Lynch apologizing to Stephanie and Triple H and Vince McMahon … Read moreStoryline Setups & Kayfabe Definition

Becky Lynch did a good job opening up Raw with a confrontation with Stephanie McMahon. The storyline with her heading into WrestleMania is very reminiscent of Seth Rollins’ storyline heading into WrestleMania 33 versus Triple H, as he also had a knee injury and doctors wouldn’t clear him (an unsanctioned match ended up transpiring). Her … Read moreWrestleMania Build-Ups & Curt Hawkins May Finally End His Losing Streak
