WWE Monday Night Raw Top 5 Takeaways.

Written By Patrick O'malley.

Apology.

Before I get stated on the intro i'm having to apologise for the delay of this piece, this is because of my day job needing my time, and given the fact that i'm going to be working for 8 days straight, my time at the minute isn't my own, so I can only apologise.

Intro.

The rd to Wrestlemania is heading through Chicago next Saturday, and i've got to say it, i'm looking forward to watching Elimination Chamber. This is one of my favourite times of year to be a WWE fan. I understand that the booking has taken a bit of a dive, but this is the Pro Wrestling industry, and it's a very divisive thing. The ticket sales for Mania haven't done as well as what WWE would have hoped for them to be, and in my opinion, this falls on how TKO have managed the funds for WWE. Back in January I attended the Friday Night Smackdown at the OVO Wembley Arena, and I paid £1.6500 euros, and i'm still feeling the effects of the booking alone, so I can't imagine what's like to pay £1.000 dollars, just for one seat. If you want the maximum outage, then you've got to lower your expectations, because this is what's best for business.

5. The Vision Stop A Yeetathon.

This was just criminal. You should never stop my ability to Yeet. Paul Heyman and. Logan Paul were the cause of this atrocity. Heyman brought this to a full stop, and. Logan Paul acted like the obnoxious idiot that he is. I'm not a big fan of Logans, and it's due to the lack of accountibility, when it comes to the controversies that he's been involved in. And just as Logan bragged about his sale of a Pokemon Card, yes you heard me, a Pokemon Card, step forward, and thank god for Mr LA Knight. ( Yeah ) He took out Logan in the only way he knows how, by verbally ascinating him, and his Vision Crew. LA then challenged them to a trios Match with his partners The Uso's. Adam Pearce then gave this the OK, and the Match followed. I liked this. There felt like a sense olf urgentcy when this started, and this was quite refreshing. It's no secret that i'm a massive Jey Uso fan, and I hated how he was booked last year. I think that he and his brother looked great here, and the chemistry that all 6 men have was allowed to shine here. Knight and his friends got the win. A lot has been said about this masked figure attacking The Vision. And this is my thought. It could be anyone, because when HHH was in the UK last month he took a trip to Primark, and loaded up on Black hoodies. The man in the hoodie gave Logan a stomp, and just like I wanted to buy him a beer. Just a thought what if the masked man is Coffeezilla. I can dream right.

4. Asuka vs Bayley Vs Nattie Elimination Chamber.

This was excellent for a TV stationed Match at the near start of the show. However I hate Natalya's new character of a pretend UFC Fighter, it just feels forced, and her sharpshooter attempts just look painful to watch. Bayley, and. Asuka were the stars of this outing, because their chemistry was undeniable. Asuka got the win. I had a great time watching this whilst my breakfast of peanut buttered toast.

3. Liv Morgan sit Down Segment With Michael Cole.

I loved this. Liv Morgan sat down with Michael Cole, and he asked the question her the time old question. Who is she going to face at WrestleMania, this was when Stephanie Vaquer stepped in, and delivered a promo in spanish. This was excellent, as it laid bare the differences between the two ladies, all whilst everyones favourite Chicken Nuggett eating Lovegod Dominik Mysterio just sat there acting like a family liason man. Moments after this aired on the main show WWE uploaded this clip to there Youtube Channel with subtitles, this didn't take away the gravitas in my opinion.

2. Cm Punk Segment.

This Promo segment contained several high end beats, that If you blinked then you would've missed them. From Punk Pointing out his own flaws. The main jeopardising of the Wrestlemania main event, as he showed Finn Balor respect. Finn then came out with Dominik Mysterio, and a returning JD Mcdonagh. Finn went through all the plaudits of his career, all so Punk could tear him down, and play with his head, and leave him realing. I loved this.

1. AJ Lee Segment.

Punk, and. AJ Lee aren't just married, when it comes to real life, but this could also be said about their TV segments. This was a carbon copy of how things would play out back in 2013, and when AJ speaks I feel that were taken back to those times. Now if you fast forward to 2026, does this work alongside Becky's excellent heel work? Well, if i'm being honest, i'm not sure, this just felt off. I did like this on first viewing, but having watched it again on Youtube, I do feel that this comes across, well, a bit weird. I'm sure that the Match will bang at Elimination Chamber, but segments like this only put pressure to an already bleeding out wound, and the bad thing is that it does nothing to help WWE in the long run.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

I understand that this weeks Monday Night Raw has been met with mixed reviews online, but I enjoyed moments on this shows. TV is an everchanging landscape, and just as shows change so do tastes, my tastes haven't changed much since I was 14, but that doesn't mean that this show was everyone. We're all differant, and that's the cool thing about living on this planet.
