Just finished watching RAW (first time watching not for the first time in a few years, but also my first time watching on Netflix).
And... HOLY SHIT! THIS SHOW WAS AWESOME!
Where to begin... Well, for starters: John Cena comes out (after winning his 17th World title at Wrestlemania against Cody Rhodes) to open the show, trashing the crowd and claiming to be the last real Undisputed WWE Champion. Randy Ortons appears out of nowhere, delivering a RKO to Cena, sending a message to the champ.
The opening match was pretty solid. Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez managed to regain their tag team championships after losing them at Wrestlemania against Becky Lynch & Lyra Valkyria. Then afterwards, Becky then seems to turn on Lyra (and maybe becoming a full blown heel again).
The New Day (after winning the RAW Tag Team titles at Wrestlemania) seemed to about to have a impromptu Title defense against Alpha Academy... Until Rusev returned to WWE for the first time in years, destroying the Alpha Academy in the process.
Jey Uso celebrates becoming the new World champion after making Gunter tap out. Sami Zayn and Jimmy Uso then came out to celebrate with him.
Iyo Sky and Stephanie Vaquer have a pretty good Champion Vs. Champion match until it was interrupted by Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade, but Rhea Ripley comes and stops them. Saving Iyo, but also pointing at her belt, making it clear she wants her belt.
Gunther later comes out and attacks ringside commentators Michael Cole and Pat McAfee (choking out the latter) after seeming disrespected by the pair saying he tapped out at Wrestlemania.
A brief (but very funny) video package of El Grande Americano celebrating his victory over Rey Fenix at Wrestlemania, hailing himself a hero to Lucha Libre.
Then the main event, "Dirty" Dominink Mysterio defends his newly won IC title against Penta in a nice match to close the card. JD McDonagh then returns after being gone for months after suffering an injury, helping Dominik suceessfully retaining his title.
Then the closing segment of the show, Seth "Freakin" Rollins comes out along side with the former "wiseman" Paul Heyman after winning in the main event of night one in a epic triple threat when Heyman betrayed both Roman Reigns and CM Punk and aligned himself with Rollins. CM Punk then comes out, attacking Seth Rollins, trying to get his revenge for what happened. Then, just when was about to get his hands on his former "best friend" Seth attacks Punk and Curb Stomps him. Roman then comes, attacks Seth as well, and delivers a Superman Punch to his former "Wiseman". As he was about to Spear Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker comes in and spears Reings. Then, he spears Punk, making him aligned with both Rollins and Heyman.
What a show man. So glad I chose to watch this episode of RAW after Wrestlemania. Haven't consistently watched WWE (and wrestling in general) since 2017-2018, so to see something like this after being away for so long was absolutely worth it.
7.5 out of 10 show. Can't wait to see whats up ahead in the near future.
(Sorry for the wall of text lol. I just got so exicted that I wanted to make a community post about this so bad.)
