#4 Mr. Monday Night
There were a number of matches and moments throughout the night that were too short to assign an individual grade, so I will group them all together.
Firstly, Drew McIntyre attacked Cedric Alexander before their scheduled rematch to get back some heat after his loss to him last week and then The Viking Raiders picked up another decisive win, this time over Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder.
Sami Zayn interrupted a backstage party with all the returning Superstars and said he was sick of has-beens coming back for another moment in the spotlight.
Rey Mysterio refused to sit back and watch Sami disrespect such legends as Jillian Hall and confronted Zayn, leading to a match between the two that was set-up by Kurt Angle who seemingly still think he is Raw General Manager.
During the ensuing match, Zayn attempted to leave but was cut off by a string of legends. First of all by Rob Van Dam, who was a genuine surprise considering his recent ties with Impact Wrestling, followed by Sergeant Slaughter, The Hurricane and finally Kurt Angle.
Sami returned to the ring and was quickly defeated by Mysterio after a ‘619’ and a frog splash.
Grade: B-
#5 The Club vs. The Kliq
The aforementioned match between Seth Rollins and AJ Styles was up next.
AJ was accompanied by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and it was revealed that the three men will now be known as The O.C. – The official, original and only club that matters. Can’t think what that might be in reference to.
After some back and forth, The O.C. looked to make their numbers advantage count against Rollins, but Shawn Michaels and Triple H of D-Generation X evened up the numbers because apparently Seth and Triple H are friends again now.
This didn’t prevent Gallows and Anderson from getting involved and attacking Rollins, leading to a D.Q. finish.
After the match, the rest of D-X, minus Billy Gunn, along with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash came out to save Rollins and send AJ, Gallows and Anderson scampering to the back. I guess you can’t have a Raw Reunion show without The Kliq standing tall.
Grade: B-
