The crowd of Kansas City was a bit under my skin this week. They applauded Seth Rollins when they should not have, singing for Bron Breakker to launch Sami Zayn several times, and just felt that they were there to sing rather than reading the room. Now grant it, it is on the wrestlers to direct history in this regard; Which is on the side of the Good VS Evil spectrum requires the clarity of the participants. These answers undermine what is clearly supposed to be the next WWE heel faction and Sami’s word this week. Filting the noise, all that Sami said stressed the fact that Seth is one, if not the most interesting character in the whole struggle today because he is always the thing he hates the most.
Seth talks about a good game. Sami also clarified this. It is the greatest hypocrite of the game but does not realize it. Despite all their faults, CM Punk and Roman Reigns know what they are. They don’t claim to be something else. Seth really believes that he is the savior of this industry. What, anything, looks like a larger and better version of the angle of the Monday evening Messiah compared to the dark days of Cavid. And making Sami the sacrificial lamb was the thing that made an improvement.
The story of Seth & Sami took place in the ring. Seth threatened Sami with a longer version of “going down or going to bed”. Go to Smack down and escape the future danger Raw. Stand Raw? Well, pain.
It was another Sami command performance. I never believed he was torn down on what to do; This is not the type of decline. Even with a shot in the John Cena championship who was swinging in his face, it was an easy choice for him. But what he showed was contradictory emotions on his friend. Who struck stronger than anything else RawRace scenario.
However, I wanted more. No Sami because he was as usual. I wanted more of this group and last week. Where was punk? Where was a novel? None of the two men is the type to take a blow and move away. Why is Bron there? Is it just to avoid paying a tutor after school on size? How did Seth assemble this thing? Where was Paul E.? There are still tons of questions and small answers. This perfectly corresponded to the episode of this week which seemed a little disjointed.
On sides B
I’m glad we did not have weeks of speculation on whom Bayley put out of action. Becky Lynch admitted it to the middle of the ring. Smart because we did this with Naomi & Jade Cargill, so a replay made no sense. The crowd of Kansas City was also weird during this segment. They applauded Becky despite what she did in Lyra Valkyria last week, And continued to applaud even when she admitted what she did in Bayley. They only seriously had when she insulted them or said that she was too good for them. I hope that the other crowds are not as inconsistent (cry in Bryan Danielson) because Lyra is the clear face here.
Speaking of this, I did not like the Lyra face promo here. She did not hit me as injured or angry. Instead, she looked like someone who pretended to be injured or angry. His actions spoke however stronger and I loved her becky kick in the mouth, the second Becky let her ego are considerablely become uncontrollable on the microphone. Their NXT battle was enough dope, so I look forward to what they are doing here with another championship at stake. There is not much time from here and BacklashSo they have to do this construction every second.
Rarities
- Although I really appreciated Roxanne Perez a little against Rhea Ripley, in particular with the psychology behind Rhea’s knee injury which allowed a certain wickedness of Roxanne, all the supervillain of Roxy & Giulia disturbs me. For what? Because there is still no real explanation. Roxanne gave the most fragile reasoning on NXT, which was “sure, whatever”. There must be one why here and I haven’t seen one yet.
- Ivy Nile fought his best match on Raw And maybe his best WWE. She and Stephanie Vaquer became head-to-head in a competition to make Ivy seem competitive. He also continued the account that the female champion NXT faces all the competitors, even if she should not. I would have liked an appearance of Giulia because it aims at the Stephanie championship and taking into account what happened last week. Anyway, a good step forward for Ivy while Stéphanie gets more exhibition on the big show.
- Penta wants his revenge on the day of judgment for what happened to Wrestlemania. He interfered in their tag match against war raiders, which makes him in number one public enemy. But he also faced the Americans with the base of a segment behind the scenes with Chad Gable. I think it sets up Lucha Bros against Creed Bros. The Battle of Bros if you want. If he was in London or if he presented Will Osprey, it would be the battle of the Bruvs.
- I really don’t like Logan Paul as the first challenger by Jey Usto Mania. Not because it doesn’t make sense, but because I don’t want to talk about Logan Paul. So yes, this is the way to follow for the new champion and Backlash. Hopefully this is the first time for the last time.
- AJ Styles vs dirty dom occurs. AJ is an excellent dance partner for anyone but above all a new young champion. I would say it is a fact of doing what J has endured Mania With Logan, but I don’t see this championship either. It is a question of solidifying Dom, which is the right decision. Even if it hurts me.
- Rusev is always the Redeemer, simply no name. Intelligent displacement. The meat will slap when he and Otis go there next week, but I am curious to know how much they make his character inspired by Conan and if his promotions accumulate with what he did in AEW because they were excellent.
This Raw Let me feel empty. I did not expect at the top of last week but I did not expect apathy either. This thing with Paul, Seth and Bron has potential, but follow -up lacked answers or even an explanation of missing documents.
What do you say, Cagesiders? Who now comes that Sami may be out of service?
