6 out of 10 as an entire show, Raw basically weighed everything on this Gauntlet match of the Elimination Chamber qualifiers which really wasn't bad.

- However, the end result was too easy to see coming AND unless they change the results to the end of Elimination Chamber a bit or all together then it'll be another waste of booking. Besides WHETHER SLOW BURN OR NOT, Finn Balor DOES NOT DESERVE to keep losing in matches against top talent. Everything else tonight was pretty much drab from that match ending except for Jeff Jarrett getting inducted and the fans who love this (not me though).

- ..............the Asuka segment...........I'm starting to get tired of this Asuka shit (I REPEAT, "I'M starting to get tried of this Asuka shit") and it's not even her fault. WWE, what are you doing?? You're having her talk more than necessary, you keep playing this guessing game of "Is she losing the streak??", "Who going to break her streak??", "Is she fighting Ronda at Wrestlemania??YES she has to fight her.....oh wait no, she's going for the RAW title......no, the Smackdown title and moving over to that show....." and so on and so on. All this spectulation with her.......with Ronda Rousey........with the title matches.......WTF?!?? Just get to the basis of whatever fucked up story/stories that are to come. Nia (sorry baby) but you are so fucking stiff......WWE!! You see this.....YOU HAVE TO KNOW THIS........either fix her or forget her, meaning bye bye Nia Jax for good. I hate this but it's not getting any better at all.

- Good to see Apollo pick up a win..........I wish they would work with him more and finally, create a story and better persona for him. I mean if they continue Titus & Apollo as a regular tag team who goes through ups and downs, maybe argue a little bit with Dana being the voice of reason (Please work on her character more, WWE. It's dry as fuck!!) then I'll be interested to watch that.

- ZZZZZZzzzzzZZzzZZZzzz.....oh excuse me, uhhh what a way to end the show. The pure epitome of a SNOOZE FEST......was really watching 6 women run around a ring, did some wrestling stuff until finally Sasha made Alexa tap out then came the ambush by Absolution and Alexa attack one of them with Mickie helping and they leave walking backwards up the ramp to end the show, arm around each other.....was that really your way of ending tonight's show?? REALLY??.....ooooohhhhh, hooray. Thanks for this. Way to build right before a Pay-Per-View.

NEWS FLASH, WWE. New graphics and themes are NOT going to help you, booking matches that have no story or make no sense at all is NOT going to help you, taking the easy route to end matches or attempting to create controversial results is NOT going to help and putting main event type matches at the very beginning of your shows WILL NOT help you. You are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fucked........and you're still just beginning. WE KNOW!!!!

And lets have a look at RAW this week...

~ This Gauntlet match was pointless & every man & his dog knows the Plank of Wood
is winning this Sunday.

~ And Nia leaves Asuka laying...& that's the set up for Asuka winning this Sunday...but
my gut tells me otherwise.

Also...& not to sound or look like a complete pervert (too late) but did anyone else notice
Asuka's nip slip?


~ The Bar vs. Titus Worldwide...again...Ugh...SKIP!

~ Okay at this point Woken Matt & Bray should just team up so the Bar have someone else
to fight.

~ And the 6 women tag match ends with Sasha Banks finally doing something positive
by making Alexa Bliss tap out (YAY!) but of course Alexa has to look good/strong by the
end of the night so of course Mickie helps her out even if it makes her look like she has
memory problems.

AlexaWinsLOL...

And I'm Done...

Thought this was a good show. Sure the gauntlet match was pointless but was still extremely entertaining and booked perfectly. Can't deny the match put Seth in a way better position to when he walked in. That's a success in my book. WWE gave us 2 hours of pure wrestling. I'm not complaining.

Raw Really is Rollins.

The rest of the show was meh. That Ronda video package tho...

 

[Grievous 3D]

That Ronda video package tho...

You know what would be kind of funny & weird?

If it turned out that once Ronda finally started
wrestling she had like the most generic, old school
move set...like she wrestled like someone from
the 80's & didn't incorporate any judo or MMA
fighting into her ring work at all.

(Well...apart from her armbar finisher of course)

I'd actually like that...especially seeing as Shayna
Baszler is already doing the "MMA Fighter in a
Wrestling Ring" gimmick in NXT at the moment.

Worth a watch. Rollins defeated both Cena and Roman ffs lol

People may feel that the gauntlet was pointless, but I guarantee you Rollins is way more over now then before the match. I can only see this match as a success.

I've always been big on giving a match a kayfabe reason to exist. If a match is meaningless if usually has an uphill battle in my book, but... One is that if there is a story coming out of the match, that also counts. Two they've been getting better with that. We had 2 matches recently with Chamber spots 1 and 7 on the line, they gave Alexa and Nia a stipulation that gives the otherwise predictable match a sense of urgency. Three... Well... sometimes you have to take the smartass hat off and get me be a kid again watching your favorite wrestler defeat your two least favorite back to back.

I think the gauntlet match had many storyline aspects and has set up future story's. The match hadn't got a reason, but it was still enriched with story.

1) John Cena- no longer big match john? Elimination chamber is a must win for Cena.

2) Seth proves what he said last week. He is Mr Monday night. Plus he gets payback over roman eliminating him in the Rumble.

3) Elias takes advantage of a exhausted Seth. This is exactly what he is gonna be doing at the chamber. He's the last mofo in the match after all.

4) Setting up a Miz and Balor feud. Mizterage heavily interfere in the match. This means the outnumbered Finn may need to call on he's good brothers for backup.

5) see how destructive Braun was? Imagine him in a elimination chamber. Absolute carnage.

All this under an umbrella of the WrestleMania main event at stake. Too bad its obvious Roman is fucking winning.
