Monday Night RAW: 10th March 2014 - Superstar Ratings

Daniel Bryan

It seemed like the WWE finally started to hear the rampant fans after they made the Authority bow down to the never dying Yes Movement on Raw.

WrestleMania got a sudden life from nowhere after the big announcement by Hulk Hogan on Raw that Daniel Bryan will face Triple H to get a chance to be on the main event. The possibility of seeing Bryan wrestle twice and headlining WrestleMania thus became the biggest take away from this week which also saw many other developments.

The legendary show is shaping up well after what went down on Raw so let’s take a look at how the people on the roster faired with the Superstar ratings.

Rybaxel- 5

Rybaxel

Despite having great technical skills and power in the team, Rybaxel is turning into some sort of a tag team jobbers in the division.

They are struggling to get a win at the moment and has no momentum whatsoever to go behind the titles. a loss against the tag team champions this week seemed ungraceful and they are going to find it hard to get their place in WrestleMania.

The Real Americans- 6

The Real Americans

Their eventual split-up was the theme this week also as Jack Swagger seems to be heading to the edge of a cliff. Cesaro is sure to break out after this storyline while Zeb Colter might come along. This will leave Swagger in a bad situation and in need of some great push.

Another loss to Big E didn’t do him any good as well and WWE should think about getting in someone new rather than having Big E in the mix.

Big E – 6

Big E

The intercontinental champion has been stuck around with the Real Americans for some time now and he rarely wrestled anyone other than Cesaro and Swagger during this.

Though he has been getting win over the duo, most of them came in a tainted way thanks to the friction between the tag team and Big E’s dominance wasn’t taking centre stage like it used to a few months ago.

The Usos- 6.5

The Usos

The Usos continued their great run after winning the title and got one over Rybaxel this week. However, The Outlaws were lurking around the champions calling out that it won’t be late till they cash in their re match clause.

A typical performance this week also from the Usos as they head for WrestleMania with the hope of stealing the show.

John Cena – 6.5

John Cena

Cena and Hulk Hogan in the ring posing was a moment for the archives.

The Cenation leader came out and challenged Bray for a match at WrestleMania and went on to get a win over Erick Rowan. The match wasn’t anything above average however, but the exchanges with Bray and some quality time with Hogan in the ring gave Cena a good night.

The Undertaker-7

The Undertaker

It was awesome to see the Phenom starting to talk again and having Paul Heyman on the other side made things more interesting.

Taker talking in riddles actually reminded the fans of Bray Wyatt’s recent promos and there were striking resemblance in the way he talked. Heyman did what he does best and asked Taker to walk away from the match.

An intriguing clash of word between the two made the buildup more exciting and the expectations are clearly on the rise.

Christian- 7

Christian

Some more heel brilliance from Christian as he got into a Memphis street fight from Sheamus. Many of the WWE fans might be wondering why he didn’t turn heel earlier since it’s been a turning point after his return.

The loss against Sheamus wasn’t that bad either considering the fact that both men put on another great match for the fans.

Batista and Randy Orton- 7

Randy Orton and Batista

Yes they belong to the same categorynow, heels that look stale without Daniel Bryan. It wasn’t a great idea to team these men up in the first place since Batista was all ready to tear Orton apart. However, Bryan’s brilliance came to the save there as well.

Orton taking the pin puts him further into the hole and he looks almost certain to walk out of WrestleMania without the title. meanwhile, Batista didn’t have anything to remember as well as Bryan stole the show.

Sheamus – 7.5

Sheamus

Sheamus was on his own backyard this week when WWE decided to put him against Christian in a Memphis street fight.

After what went last week, it seemed to be what Sheamus wanted the most and went on to give an exciting bout as usual. Another win over Christian builds up his momentum further and if the company is really thinking about a potential WrestleMania match between the two, they should save it for then.

Big Show- 7.5

The Big Show

Show was out of television for an awfully long time and his return looks like a big thing after the giant main evented two back to back shows.

But taking the Authority Storyline away from him, Show is still someone who doesn’t have an individual angle. And it needs to be addressed by the creative if they are to invest on him at WrestleMania. Kane looks like a worthy opponent and we might have it on our hand soon.

Wyatt Family – 7.5

Wyatt Family

It’s not every day that you see someone outclass John Cena and Hulk Hogan on the same night. Bray Wyatt made the task looked easy and made it clear that the future belongs to him.

Erick Rowan got into the singles match with Cena following the initial segment and gave a rather unforgettable match. But Bray’s charisma makes Wyatt Family stand tall again despite a poor performance by Rowan.

Rhodes Brothers- 8

Rhodes Brothers

There were concern about the relevance of Rhodes Brothers after they lost the title but they proved that they are going nowhere with a great match against Shield this week.

Though it ended in a losing effort, the amount of dedication and emotion that went into the match made Rhodes Brothers look good in the ring. Cody Rhodes in particular looked good out there and he is sure to break out soon because he has all the ammunition to do so.

The Shield -8

Shield

The hounds of justice showed a great signs of face alignment when they locked themselves in a small word tussle with Kane and went on to give the match of the night against Rhodes Brothers.

Rollins getting the pin was a great way to make everyone understood that Roman Reigns wasn’t the only wrestler in Shield. Rollins completely stole the show in the match with some great moves. Having Ambrose sit on the sidelines didn’t work well and his United States title is some kind of a burden for everyone now.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon- 8.5

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon

No that rating doesn’t entirely belong to Triple H as you might assume, it belongs to his lovely wife who is walking the path of her father and is stamping her place as the top heel in professional wrestling.

“You don’t own any of this. We. Own. This. Ring”- Daniel Bryan

“When I was born this place became mine. It is mine. I do own you.”—Stephanie McMahon.

That snippet from the segment she had with Bryan speaks for its own and Triple H was a great support to make things better. It was however, Stephanie’s brilliance that made the path to WrestleMania a worth taking and the best part- it’s not over yet.

Daniel Bryan – 9

Daniel Bryan

It took Bryan a lot of months and a ring full of fans to get his match at WrestleMania. Filling the ring with WWE fans isn’t something that you see every day unless you were an ECW fan.

After getting the big announcement, Bryan went on to face his potential opponents in a tag team match in the main event which saw him pin the World Champion.

The night belonged to Daniel Bryan without any doubts but the fans what him to own WrestleMania more than the weekly show. From the looks of it, that’s a moment on its way and we might see WrestleMania going off air with Daniel Bryan raising the titles high.
