Coughed up the cash and bought this last night. Would have joined ya guys, but my box is in another part of the house. Without further delay, my review.
The Shield vs. The Usos
If the Usos needed a match to give them a reason to hang around the company a little longer, this was it. Great back and forth action from both sides. Reigns and Rollins work awesome together, and Jimmy and Jey seem to have finally hit their stride. It's a pity that there's zero tag team division, these 2 teams could make it interesting. 4/5
WHC Money in the Bank
Most, if not anybody could have won this match. There really wasn't a clear favorite in my opinion, I chose Barrett in Tipsters. Dean Ambrose is the future, no doubt about it. But Cody Rhodes............well fucking done. For a guy who gets ribbed on for being such a small guy, he can go with the big boys. The Shield coming out scared me a bit because I like Ambrose as much as the next guy, but's too early for him to move up to WHC status. Drawback was that when the camera cut to Sandow scurrying behind the timekeeper's area, it was a given he was gonna win. So ends Team Rhodes Scholars, and another tag team needed for the division. 3.5/5
The Miz vs. Mr. Perfect Jr.
Not much to say here. Heyman getting ejected pissed off some Philly fans. Although I'd rather creative/Vince let Axel stay with the Perfectplex as his finisher instead of that faceslam thingy he used to pin The Miz with. 3/5
Kaitlyn vs. A.J. Lee
AJ wins with the Black Widow submission. This storyline for her is over and done with, time for her to move along. But to what? Creative gonna pull another name out of the hat in back and give her a shot? The Bellas gonna run to their guys and have them ask Vince if they can be champs again? The Funkycheerleaders gonna break up and go solo? It's time WWE goes to the farm and bring up some new faces or goes looting from TNA. 2.5/5
Chris Jericho vs. Ryback
This match is sponsored by The Terminator movie franchise. Coming to a theater near you! Nothing special here, I wasn't expecting the roll-up finish. 2.5/5
Zigs vs. A.D.R
You could feel it the vibe. The whole city was behind him. "Dolph's gonna win. We're gonna try this again, he's got this." Match of the night by far. Both men bringing out their best. AJ's music hits, and i'm pretty sure the entire fanbase around the wold said "Fuck, she's gonna screw him over!" And, yeah that's what happened. Great match gone to waste. Pretty sure if Ziggler won, the roof would have came off. The "You screwed Ziggler!" chants from the crowd was great. Tonight is going to be interesting. 4.5/5
Mark Henry vs. John Cena.
This.......match........was.........sloooooooooooooooooooow. Atleast let Mark go 13 minutes nonstop destruction. The other 2 minutes is Cena winning. Pretty sure it was 4 minutes between action when Henry was in control. Henry kicking out of the A.A. give everyone a glimmer of home. But the guy tweeted it best during the match: "My heart says Henry, my brain says Cena" Damn you, SuperCena. 2/5
WWE Title Money in the Bank
Crime scene, car wreck, massive workplace accident. Call it what you want, your match of the night and head scratcher right here. Hey, it's RVD! Why didn't he come out last? Whatever. Crowd wanted Punk, Bryan or Van Dam to win this. It ain't a Money in the Bank match without a Five Star Frog Splash, RKO off the ladder, or all 6 guys on 2 ladders falling off and going everywhere. Honeymoon's over for CM Punk and Paul Heyman. Obviously gonna lead up to Brock vs. Punk at Summerslam I assume. Orton's climbing the ladder, it's Bryan's turn to get in the ring! He's supposed to win this! Orton's at the top! He's stalling for time!................Still stalling! Orton.......wins? I know the dirt sheets were saying he wanted to turn heel in a bad way. And I don't mind another Orton title run. But not like this. I'm intrigued on where this goes. 5/5
Raw should be fun to watch to night. Hope to see you all there.
