This week's episode of WWE Raw took place in Jacksonville, Florida.
The show was very underwhelming and weak, except for some matches and segments. Most of the segments and matches were very weak and made the show bad considering the biggest party of the summer, "SummerSlam" is just two weeks away and only one episode of Raw is to be aired before it.
Considering the show, the show had many bad moments while it also consisted of some great and good moments. Let us talk about some Yeah's and Naah's of tonight's show:
#1. Yeah: The Kevin Owens Show
Kevin Owens is the best mic worker in WWE right now. His promos are fun and feel like he is saying the truth and he never trips on his words.
Today sitting with Jinder Mahal on a stage, he talked about how he was thrown off a 20-foot cage and how he can reclaim the Universal Championship when he beats Braun Strowman and becomes 'KO in the Bank'. When he called out Strowman out, he came from beneath the stage and flipped it over to make everyone on fall from it(Kevin Owens, Jinder Mahal and Sunil Singh).
Personally, I loved the segment, and also it was the best segment of the night. Again Strowman lost to Jinder Mahal, this time by disqualification. Let us see if KO can win over Strowman like Jinder Mahal who defeated him both by count-out and DQ in two consecutive weeks.
#1. Naah: Bobby Roode Vs Mojo Rawley
Bobby Roode Vs Mojo Rawley was another disappointing encounter.
Bobby Roode won the match, but the match never picked up. Also, the WWE Universe wasn't interested in the match as the crowd was quiet for the match until Bobby Roode hit the Glorious DDT.
Bobby Roode is a great wrestler. So WWE needs to make him move to bigger and better things rather than feuding with Mojo Rawley. Due to poor booking, the fans aren't supporting him.
#2. Yeah: Rezar defeats Titus O'Neil
Personally, after seeing Akam getting pinned by Appolo Crews, everyone thought that this week Titus O'Neil might pin Rezar which could kill every bit of momentum that The Authors of Pain have got since arriving on Raw.
Fortunately, Rezar pinned Titus O'Neil after hitting a Spinebuster on him. The match was not good but thanks to Vince for not kill another rising and a great team.
#2. Naah: The Opening match and segment
The opening segment was very bad. Kurt Angle telling everyone that unlike Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey does not have any problem in fighting on Raw. Also, Roman Reigns comes out and going into an altercation with Baron Corbin while Kurt telling Reigns to kick Lesnar's ass. When Corbin tells Angle that he only makes matches, he schedules a match between Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin.
The match was not good too. The match lingered for 20 minutes and after some help from Finn Balor(who protected Baron Corbin) from retreating, Reigns hit a Superman Punch and Spear to end a pretty bad match. Later, Balor hit the Coup De Grace on Corbin. But, the match and was pretty unwatchable.
#3. Yeah: The Handicap match
The handicap match was the best match of the night. After Baron Corbin stopped Roman Reigns from joining Seth Rollins in the match, Rollins had to go solo and had to fight both Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre on his own.
Seth Rollins tried to fight both of them on his own, but fell short and was hit by a Superkick from Dolph Ziggler. However, Rollins put a great performance in a short match.
Considering Rollins has been putting great matches every week, we should see him fight for the Universal Championship and not the Intercontinental Championship.
#3. Cannot say-Nor Yeah nor Naah: The Raw Debut
The match was not that great but was special considering Ronda Rousey debut. The match was one-sided except of Alexa Bliss's heel tricks to make Rousey lose. The match was fast paced and was just of 4-5 minutes with Rousey dominating the whole match just like Brock Lesnar does.
But why was the match a naah? It was because it was just a transitional match that showed Rousey on top and even made look champion weak when she was beaten down by Rousey when she attacked her after the match.
Let us see how dominant Rousey remains at SummerSlam.
