My Thoughts On This Weeks Monday Night Raw.

Intro.

As the year comes to an end. I've started to think about what is going to come next year. WrestleMania is heading back to Las Vegas. I'm going to be attending the Road To The Royal Rumble Tour in January, and then there's AEW heading back to Wembley Stadium. This year has been one of confusion, so lets hope for a better 2026.

5. Gunthers Opening Segment.

After WWE had finished showing a recap from SNME, Gunther came out, and he revelled in his new found heat. This is WWE at its most creative. Gunther cut down the fans with ease, and laid waste to John Cena's legacy by stating that he did what he said he was going to do. Make John tap out. He ran this back on the announcers desk, to Michael Coles disgust, and walked out of the arena. He was greated by The Alpha Academy. R Truth, and. Adam Pearce, but when Gunther got to his car, AJ Styles was sitting on the hood. He moved away as AJ Stood there. Gunther then said that AJ can't see him as he drove off. This was awesome, and a superb way to start the show. This is one of the most creative things that WWE have done all year on weekly TV, and it has made Gunther look relevant again. In my opinion Gunther has struggled for a bit of revelentcy, since his intercontinental Championship reign, this has now changed, and he's now one of the best heels in the business.

4. Cm Punk Segment.

Cm Punk is a man of many words, and when he delivers them, he's gets me hooked. This segment that was aimed at Bron Breakker, and his family was excellent. Punk has an ability to hit fans in their belief system, and this segment was no differant. Bron would get Punk back later on in the show, and it acted like a perfect way to build to the Raw Netflix anniversary show on January 5th.

3. I Love The Kabuki Warriors.

On the subject of January 5th. The Kabuki Warriors will face Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky, for the WWE Womens Tag Team Championships. Asuka gave Rhea a good old fashioned misting, and for some reason I couldn't stop laughing. The Match however I think will be better than what we might think.

2. Fans Sounded Tired.

This broadcast did have one major problem. The WWE filmed Smackdown before the show. This is a massive problem, because it leads to what we got last night. Certain moments like Maxine Dupri vs Ivy Nile, and the main event of Logan Paul vs Rey Mysterio, all suffered from fan exhaustion, this is because the length of the show left fans tired. I understand the need for the company to give talent the holiday period off, but the planning from the fans side needs to be taken into account.

1. Stephanie Vaquer vs Raquel Rodriguez WWE Womens Championship.

I didn't like this. The Match was going fine, but i'm getting sick and tired of the constant interference finishes. It's boring, and predictable. I want this Nikki Bella and Stephanie Vaquer feud to end, because it has become highly repetitive.
