This RAW episode was probably one of the best episodes that has been televised this past month. It had almost everything. From good story to good fights, a complete package. So let's hop into its complete review.
Rollins kicks off RAW
This segment was all about Rollin's character-building towards becoming a heel. Even though he came out to apologize to the WWE universe it didn't seem like he meant it. He called out KO whom he insulted and who he attacked when AOP dismantled Owens.
KO didn't accept his apology and said that this was all a huge act put on by Rollins and also said that maybe AOP are the closest of Rollin's family members.
AOP didn't give any heed to their interactions and challenged both of them for a match for which Rollins did agree but later walked out leaving Owens for a challenger from the locker room.
Grade
B-
Owens vs Lashley
This match had nothing special but it had a great effect on two of the topmost storylines going in the WWE right now. The AOP midway in the match attacked Owens and dragged him to the locker room. Lashley and Lana kept on watching. Suddenly Rusev attacked Lashley and ran away from his security. Later both Rusev and Lana were arrested and were taken out in the handcuffs.
Grade
A-
Mcintyre Segment
Drew was up against Akira who has lately made a lot of strides in the WWE. This match was a top-notch as Akira sold all the moves brilliantly and made Drew's offence look devastating.
After Drew's victory, he called out Randy who he told why this is his moment and time and why he is the future of this company.
Later the OC came as they also had some unfinished business with Orton as because of him AJ lost his US title to Rey. Drew who didn't wanted any part of it left Orton on his own who was later helped by Ricochet, Rey and Carrillo.
Grade
B+
Flair vs Kabuki Warriors
WWE really do know how to book the Queen. Just make her fight against Asuka and you have got a quality match. This was no other, but this time she fought the tag team champions without a partner. This made Flair look really strong who almost defeated the Warriors.
I think the whole motive of this match was to show how better Flair is from other WWE superstars.
Grade
B-
Rey, Carrillo, Ricochet vs The OC
This was a great match with great chemistry and energy. Every wrestler sold every move with unbelievable accuracy. But one thing is still unclear. Why do they have to make Ricochet get pinned every time? This guy was on the top of the ladder not more than 2 months ago but now he seems to have lost all that momentum. He has been told to play a third fiddle in the US title race. Carrillo out of nowhere has taken the spotlight.
This remains to be seen how WWE books Ricochet further because he is a serious talent who just can't be wasted.
