Please rate tonight's episode of Raw and leave a comment or two to let us know what you thought of the show!

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar

Heyman bragged about Lesnar beating Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. He claims that Lesnar demanded the steel cage because he wants to be in a UFC style fight. Roman came to the ring and after a stare down claimed he didn't know how he was coming back from Saudi Arabia but it would be with the WWE Championship.

Elias vs Bobby Roode

Elias won by pin fall.

The Ascension vs Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt

Wyatt and Hardy won by pin fall.

The Sami and Kevin Show

Sami says this isn't just any old show, this is the new hottest, possibly weekly, interview show in WWE. They say they will do it whenever they feel like it. Fans boo when they praise The Miz and talk about how he left RAW last week but who better to fill that void than them. Sami mentions how one of them will win the big 50-man Rumble match in Saudi Arabia this week. They go on and introduce tonight's guest by singing "you suck!" - RAW General Manager Kurt Angle.

Angle enters the ring and they offer him a chair but it's just a cheap lawn chair. Sami and Owens poke at Angle over RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon, saying she has Angle's manhood in a jar back at WWE HQ. Angle mentions how Stephanie would be able to use her arm if it weren't for Ronda Rousey. They warn him because he needs this job. They also crack jokes over the whole Jason Jordan story. Owens says tonight isn't about the past, it's about the future and what Angle will give them to maximize Stephanie's investment in hiring them. Angle wants to repay them for being so endearing to them. Angle says he will be in the 50-man Rumble match on Friday and so will Daniel Bryan. Fans chant "yes!" now. And so will Chris Jericho be in the match, and every other Superstar Owens and Sami have endeared over the years. But that's Friday and this is RAW, Angle wants to repay them tonight as well. He announces Sami and Owens vs. Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman. Fans pop. Angle's music hits as he makes his exit. Sami and Owens aren't happy.


Titus Worldwide vs Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre


Ziggler and McIntyre won by pin fall

Jinder Mahal vs Chad Gable

Gable won by pin fall

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens vs Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley

Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley won by pin fall

No Way Jose vs Baron Corbin

Corbin didn't want a match and when Jose insulted him, he attacked Jose

Finn Balor and Seth Rollins vs Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas

Finn Balor and Seth Rollins won by pin fall

The RIott Squad Mickie James and Alexa Bliss vs Sasha Banks, Bayley, Natalya, Ember Moon and Nia Jax

The Riott Squad, Mickie James and Alexa Bliss won by DQ when Ronda Rousey came to the ring and attacked the other team.

Fuck man, maybe this is why people don't like Roman Reigns. He takes 10 minutes to walk to the ring and says absolutely nothing. He just says he's going to win the title, just a few weeks after he got destroyed by Lesnar at WrestleMania.. Creative do better than this shit.

The next few segments aren't any better.

Elias vs. Bobby Roode was terrible. They have no idea what to do with Bobby Roode, he's a great talent who should be a heel.

Hardy & Wyatt against the Ascension.. Another match that's a waste of time.

The 1st hour is one of the worst 1st hours of RAW in a long time.

RAW should be called the Kevin & Sami show because they're the best and most entertaining act in WWE right now. Another great segment from these two, Owens and Zayn play off each other so much, i hope they never split them up. Let's just pretend the first hour didn't happen and this was the opening segment.

Gable beating Jinder Mahal is good, give this guy a push. He's been irrelevant for far too long.

This tag match was very good. Strowman and Lashley looked great.. Sami being the fall guy like he usually is.

If they ever give you a dancing gimmick when you join NXT, just quit and go to Japan.

Alexa Bliss is the fucking best. Her caling Nia Jax a bully every week is hilarious. That short moment of Bliss promo was awesome.


Anyway, i'm done. This RAW was very boring. If it wasn't for Owens and Zayn i would give this show a 1/10

And lets have a look at Roman Always Wins this week...even if I don't really care...

~ R.I.P Bruno Sammartino...

~ FUCKING SKIP!!!

~ Welcome to RAW Bobby Roode ...although I'm happy to see Elias get a win.

~ Okay...so Bray & Matt are Awesome...but...shouldn't it be "DeleterS of Worlds"
not "Deleter of Worlds"? I mean...there are two of them.

Welcome to RAW Ascension...

~ So Owens & Zayn have gone from a feud with Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan...
to a feud with Kurt Angle?

SKIP!!!

~ I'm not really liking this Ziggler/McIntyre team...but hey at least Drew
picked up a win.

~ Welcome to RAW Jinder...but I am happy to see Chad Gable get a win...

~ Can we split the Riott Squad up? Ruby doesn't need Sarah or Liv...

~ Samoa Joe is Awesome...especially now he's on SDL...

~ Put Bo & Curtis with Bray & Matt...

~ Welcome to RAW Owens & Zayn...

~ You know WWE...if you want to push Corbin...just have him win matches...I mean
its pretty simple really.

~ FUCK OFF ALEXA!!!

~ Pointless tag match is pointless...

~ Okay...I'm guessing this 10 woman tag match serves a greater purpose in the
long run? Also having Ronda work with Natalya & Mickie James is incredibly smart
& I'm happy to see her becoming a part of the division.

Also Nia & Alexa are having a rematch at Backlash & Nia needs to go over in 2
minutes or less. I'm done with this feud & I'm done with Alexa Bliss. The fact it
took Nia 10 minutes to defeat Polly Pocket at Wrestlemania was pathetic.

And I'm Done...

Bring on SDL!

Felt above average to me. Enjoyed Sami and Owens, even the match was good. Hardy and Wyatt vs Acecension was fun. Dug that Gable grabbed the victory. Seth/Finn vs Curtis/Bo was okay, the segments were better than the match imo. Also dug the intensity of Dolph and Drew. Loved their energy and their mic time.

Enjoyed Heyman's praising of Lesnar, too bad Reigns interrupted with literally nothing. Dude acts like a legit security guard. Comes out, says hes gonna do something, then leave and does nothing. Shoulda let Natalya or Ember win that match. Everything else was eh to me. Didnt like how Roode lost that match.

Sami and Kevin are awesome. Glad they both are working as a heel team on Raw and got out of their storyline on Smackdown. They should stick together for at least until WM35. Would love to see them have a tag title run.

Also, is Strowman babyface now?

You can see that KO and Sami are going to be the string that pulls the show together every week. That segment was great.. Sami and Kevin are great characters

Also, is Strowman babyface now?

Yes he has been fully face since he got out thrown into a garbage truck at TLC

This show was just average. The bo and axel parts were entertaining, Sami and Kevin was okay, and most of the matches meh with rhe main event being pointless. So I give it a 5\10

2/10... Mostly very boring. I liked Gable winning and the Kevin & Sami Show.

BTW I fucking hate no way Jose, it's Adam Rose all over again.

fairly average ep of Raw, Booker T's back on commentary which is always a delight. Graves: "Booker, what are the 2 most important things in this business?", Booker, without a milesecond to think about it: "Cheques and Championships maan". Amen my dude

Crowd was also great, they were really enthusiastic towards every match, no matter how generic they were and they made the best out of it

What about the main event made it pointless? Do you just not dig Rousey?
It seemed like it was made just to be made, and had no real point to it. Also, no I don't dig Rousey, there is a post on here somewhere that goes into why.

4/10. Pretty much all the matches were pointless. None of the women got to look strong in the end because they made it all about Ronda.

We really needed something big happen heading into the Greatest Royal Rumble. I would have liked a Finn Balor turn at the end of his tag match.
