I don't see Rey or Apollo Crews winning MITB. Black is the leader out towards the back 9 with SDs last two qualifying matches

Kayden Carter doesn't look like that should be her name.

Charlotte vs. Kayden was meh.
Charlotte's NXT title reign probably going to end up being just as boring and/or way too drawn out as Baszler's reign. |

Would have laughed if Lashley couldn't lift the big tire but Lana could.
Like Lana tries to console Lashley after his failed attempts but the big tire is in her way so she easily moves it out of the way and starts trying to cheer up Lashley. |

I think Io Shirai needs the NXT women's title. How could it make sense, though? Can't just have her straight up beat Charlotte, right?

There must be a pretty limited number of workers down there. I feel like I'm seeing very similar combinations of the same people over and over.

I mean, I like Tozawa, but does he really need to be giving Andrade fits? I understand that he's in the Cruiserweight tournament still, but was there NO ONE else here to make Andrade not look like a bitch, especially after the opening segment?

If she does then Charlotte's NXT reign is going to be like almost every other reign she's had where it just felt like a big waste of time in the end. Also just more padding by WWE to desperately have their own homemade "Ric Flair" type star unlike with Ric who was already a made legend before going to WWE.

Nice of the Street Profits to stick up for Byron on commentary.

I like Bianca Belair and The Street Profits, but the coonery can relax.

Half of the matches on tonight's show were women's matches and they were all either bad or very forgettable.

Why did they put trees up around the ring on top of the building?

Bianca is significantly better than most of the women's roster

Ouch at Garza's chest after just a couple minutes into the match.

Nice of Drew to get a souvenir from Garza. Not sure what he is going to with with a pair of ripped pants though.

For the second week in a row this new stable gets taken out pretty easily by Drew.

If the idea was to quickly make Zelina's new group into nothing more than just a big joke in 2 weeks, then I guess mission accomplished by Heyman and RAW Creative.
Raw itself was somewhat decent at best but way too useless junk nor "essential business" worthy outside of the Rey vs. Murphy match. |

Watched the whole show for the first time since before Xmas (not full attention though).
I got the first segment with Theory/Garza not wanting to jump in with Drew as they had their own matches coming up later in the night, but it feels like they needed to give them something. Drew walloping them by the end of the night has left them pretty dead in the water. I like the idea that Zelina is the Heenan to Drew’s Hogan but I can’t see them going all in with it. Also, thinking maybe her group are a replacement for Seth’s Disciples due to one of AOP being injured. I also like the idea that Vega has hand-picked these great looking stars of the future, they just haven’t explained that (at least I don’t think they have). They’re trying again with Apollo Crews. I’d have sooner had him in the team with Cedric Alexander with Titus taking a managerial role, and kept Ricochet in singles. He’d have been a better pick for a MITB push. They’ll lose interest in Crews in a month. Although they lost interest in Ricochet in about the same time period so same net gain I guess. On the subject of the Crew’s /MVP match; I get them going with the younger talent but MVP is the much more interesting character. I like him for a managerial role too. He’s be a good fit for a heel Street Profits (not because they’re all black) or even taking over the aforementioned Crews/Alexander team. Mysterio/Murphy was a good match. I could have seen Murphy winning but not cut up about Rey taking the spot. Does mean with have 4 faces qualified so far, which might telegraph who wins on SmackDown to fill out the field. WTF was that Viking Raiders thing!? I get that they need to do something to flesh the characters out before they become caricatures/gimmick but this? Seemed like someone picked up a Heavy Machinery script by mistake. Just not interested with anything they’re doing with the women. Overall a pretty decent show. |
