RAW Review & Reaction's

Last night brought to you the 1101th episode of Monday night RAW and what a night it was; Full of awesome returns, new feuds and pretty decent match's. Personally I believe it was one of the best RAW's of the year. Let me know what you thought of last night's action and what your best part was by tweeting me at @TezangiVictoria.


The night started out with a surprisingly really good segment between The authority and the new WWE world heavyweight champion John Cena. Not gonna lie at the begging of the night I was still pretty mad at Cena wining the championships in fact I still am, but there is no denying the fact that the opening segment was pretty freaking good. Now I do think we are all getting seriously bored with the night begging with some kind of speech or announcement by the Authority, finger's crossed next week we get something different for a change. But anyway back to last night. Now I don't know what Stephanie and Hunter were on, maybe Reigns drugged them again, but the smiles they had on their faces and the mood they were in was extremely out of the ordinary and slightly wired/awkward, something Cena would soon address. Talking of Cena let's admit it was on hell of douchey way of wearing the titles. During the opening segment the cover of the WWE 2K15 game was showing and to our surprise the man on cover is the one and only John Cena (Oh WWE and the shocks and surprises) . Admit-ably the cover is pretty decent, it's just the chosen superstar I have a problem with. It feels like the WWE really don't give a crap about new talent. I really do hate the idea of Cena being the cover boy, I get it's a big year for him, it being he's 12th year in WWE and him becoming a 15 time champion but let's be honest, this game is for the fans and if there was anyone who deserved to be on the cover it's Daniel Bryan. After that, Hunter announced that at the next PPV Cena will defend he's championship's in a fatal 4 way and the 3 men were hand picked by triple H himself; them being, Randy Orton, Kane and Roman Reigns. This didn't really come to any surprise. Let's face it, Orton is the Golden boy, Kane is the authority's bitch and Roman Reigns is suppose to be getting that big push. To be honest I don't think it made much sense Triple H just putting Roman in the match just like that, after all aint they suppose to hate each other? Hunter finished off the segment by announcing that even if Cena beats the odds at Battleground there is always a plan B and that's when Rollins made he's way out to the ring for he's match. To be honest I cant see Seth cashing in the brief case at the PPV, it just doest make sense with he's current feud with Ambrose.

Surprisingly the match up between Rollins and RVD is pretty awesome. I weren't expecting it to be that good what so ever and Rollins just proved all over again that he is worthy of the brief case and that he is a superstar that should not be underestimated. Another good thing about this match was that there was actually a clean win! Yep, Ambrose stayed away and didn't get involved to ruin the match and attack Seth again.This week Rollins was able to pick up a nice clean win over RVD and one that was well deserved. But thankfully we did get to see a little of Ambrose. After Seth's match Dean delivered a Gold standard promo,  I swear this man is just pure gold on the mic! The promo was sweet, simple but amazing and just verified that this feud aint going nowhere any time soon and neither is Mr Dean Ambrose.
Later on in the night Jack Swagger got he's face turn when himself and Zeb came out to address Alexander Rusev and Lana in what was another good segment. This has been a long awaited feud! I've litreally been waiting for this for age, it all just makes sense and it's a great shot for Swagger to get the crowd on he's side and for Rusev to be in a entertaining feud. These past thew months the WWE have been trying to build up Rusev by giving him jobbers/ mid carders to face at PPV's and during Monday night Raw and Smackdown on a Friday and it really has been a bore to watch, with precipitable out comes and short boring match's. Now I know i wanted to see a Rusev/Sheamus Feud but im not arguing with swagger taking his place! It does feel Swagger was getting lost and after he's amazing performance at the Money in the bank PPV he really did deserve a decent feud and I can really see myself getting into this, especially wit the addition of Lana and Zeb, it just makes it all so much better.

Last night was also the night of returns. We firstly saw The Miz come back on our screens. I've been angry with the WWE for ages with what they did with the Miz after he's amazing year a thew years back, hopefully with he's pretty awesome return Last night we will  get to see the Miz back doing what he does best. Now obviously he will not be put right at the top but with the IC title up fro grabs as Battleground this could be the best opportunity for The Miz. If they want him back as a top player there gonna need to give him something big and right now the bet thing for him is to become the New Intercontinental champion. We then got the return of all returns when the one and only Chris Jericho made and amazing return interrupting the Miz's promo. In true Jericho style, he wowed the crowd and got everyone on there feet and full of excitement. The celebration was cut short when Jericho was interrupted half way into he's ever so famous catch phrase "raw is Jericho" by The wyatt family. This led to Jericho facing a three on one attack. Now this is one feud im going to love! Wyatt VS Jericho is something that is going to be entertaining us all for the next couple of months. The final return was the ever so awaited comeback of the longest divas champion in History Aj Lee. You know what this means right... the strong return of Cm Punk chants! Aj made an amazing come back as a baby face were she had a segment with Paige where she challenged her for the divas championship.As a result Paige lost her title! This a feud I and the world have been waiting for for ages! I aint been interested in a divas feud this much since Lita and Trish! The crowd were 100% into the match with lets go Aj Chants and the actual crowd reaction AJ got was insane! I really dont think this is the end of Paige VS AJ. Personally i don't think that match should of happened last night but it does keep there feud active and has left us wanting more from both divas. Hopefully at Battleground the two will have an epic long match were both diva's will get the attention they deserve!

In other news Summer Rae got it on with Ziggler, witch to be honest I've been waiting for since i saw the home show pictures of the two of them. Looks like we aint seeing the end of this Layla, Fandango Summer love triangle. Adam Rose got bored of Adam rose. Sheamus and the Usos lost there match with The wyatts, once again proving that harper and Rowan should be the tag team champs! Sheamus is STILL a baby face. I'm really loosing my patience with this now! We also learnt that Barrett's injury is pretty serious and we wont be expecting him back for a thew months! Yes you read right people we wont be seeing Barrett for a good thew months! This means that the IC title will be up for grabs at the Battleground PPV. I'm hopeing we will still see BNB. Barrett has been on a all time high at the moment and they really should keep him on our screens, there's no harm in a bit of bad news every wee right? Cesaro also attacked Kofie after loosing he's match against him witch personally I thought was pretty pointless.
The main event saw Randy Orton and Kane team together to face Roman Reigns and John Cena. The match Okay. Nothing "amazing" but it was decent. Although the match ended in DQ i really do think once again it was Roman Reigns who kept the match intresting. The attack on John Cena did leave me to believe that Rollins would by the end of the night be the new WWE world heavyweight champion, but the stupid ref didn't start the match! But it weren't just the ref's thought. Ambrose came rushing out attacking Rollins into the crowd, come on we all saw that coming! The night ended with Roman Reigns on top once again staring off with Triple H. Looks like he's regretting putting Roman in that fatal 4 way now. The W
WE are doing the right things with Roman but they could do with toning it down a bit. I think the problem is is that Roman was suppose to be the one stealing the show and being the main attraction after the shield split but Ambrose is the one that everyone is talking about and is managing to steal the limelight.
