Thoughts on the August 26th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW:
Thoughts: A very overachieving episode of RAW, I thought the matches were fine and the segments were okay, I’m very happy that they pushing Dragon Lee again, and Bronson Reed is continuing his streak of destroying people. I really hope sooner than later that women’s division on RAW starts to pick up because Liv Morgan needs to put the belt on the line again, since May she has had three defenses which is not a lot. But overall fun episode.
The August 26th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW Match Ratings:
The Opening Match: The Judgement Day (Carlito, Dominik Mysterio, Finn Bálor, and JD McDongeh) (with Liv Morgan) vs. L.W.O. (Cruz Del Toro, Dragon Lee, Joaquin Wilde, and Rey Mysterio) in a Eight - Man Tag Team Match - Match Rating: ***.75 - A very fun eight - man tag team match, it was great seeing all the members of L.W.O. return especially Dragon Lee who hasn’t been used properly whatsoever this year. Many great spots especially when they launch Joaquin Wilde in the sky. But to keep them hot The Judgement Day got the victory, and continue the beat down afterwards until The Terror Twins came out and saved L.W.O. and fought off everyone. Fun opener it had the crowd going, and many fun spots. Please continue to use Dragon Lee one of the best in the world, and not even being used to his full potential. Also, if I’m Triple H go back and look at his New Japan Pro - Wrestling stint and see why he’s one of the best luchadors in today game.
2nd Match: Damage CTRL (Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane) vs. The Pure Collective Fusion (Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark) (with Sonya Deville) - Match Rating: **.25 - Average tag team match, very happy with Iyo Sky, and Kairi Sane continuing to get screen time, and they got the victory.
3rd Match: Jey Uso vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Karrion Kross in a Triple Threat Match in the First Round of the WWE Intercontinental Championship #1 Contender Tournament - Match Rating: **.75 - Nothing too special I think everyone knew who was gonna win this. Karrion Kross didn’t move me in this match he’s one of the most overrated people in wrestling today, Kofi Kingston had a solid showing as usual, but now Jey Uso has officially punched his ticket to the final round and in two weeks will battle it out against three other superstars to see who’s next in line to face Bron Breakker for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
4th Match: Bronson Reed vs. Braun Strowman - Match Rating: ***.50 - They need to run this back, because this was a solid match, it ended in a no contest to protect both men. But Bronson Reed in one month has taken out Seth Rollins, R - Truth, The Miz, and Braun Strowman his rise to he main event scene has been a great thing to see. Now the fans cheer him even tho he’s a heel, and whenever he’s about to hit the Tsunami the crowd goes nuts. They need to run this back soon, or save it for Bad Blood and put a stipulation on the match.
5th Match: Pete Dunne vs. The Miz vs. Xavier Woods in a Triple Threat Match in the First Round of the WWE Intercontinental Championship #1 Contender Tournament - Match Rating: ***.25 - The Brusierweight has been on a tear on RAW, NXT, and Speed now he enters the finals of the Tournament for a shot at the WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker. The match itself was okay with the right winner.
The Main Event Match: Uncle Howdy vs. Chad Gable - Match Rating: ***.50 - Yeah, Yeah, Yeah - Luke Harper (Jon Huber). This was a very good way to end the show, one year ago Taylor Rotunda known as Bo Dallas & Uncle Howdy lost his brother the legendary Bray Wyatt, and tonight I know Bray Wyatt was smiling in the heavens seeing his baby - brother keeping his beautiful legacy going. Uncle Howdy had a good showing defeating the leader of American Made Chad Gable. The show ended with Uncle Howdy on top. Great Main Event.
The August 26th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW Match of the Night: The Judgement Day (with Liv Morgan) vs. L.W.O. in a Eight - Man Tag Team Match - Match Rating: ***.75
August 26th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW Show Grade: 7.50/10 (B-) - This episode overachieved. I thought the card on paper was gonna be average but the show delivered. Seeing the return of Dragon Lee made me so happy, I really hope this is a start of him being used on a weekly basis. The fact Final Testament gets more screen time than Dragon Lee, Ilja Dragunov, Pete Dunne, and others is blasphemy. The highlight of this show had to be Bronson Reed doing the Tsunami outside on top of a car and landing on Braun Strowman. Uncle Howdy winning and Bo Dallas showing people he can actually go was nice. Next week episode is looking very good with two fire triple threat, and Zelina Vega vs. Shayna Baszler. RAW has been so consistent and one of the best wrestling weekly shows the past two years. This is what we wanna see good matches, and utilizing the talented wrestlers.
Next Week September 2nd, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW Announced Matches & Segments:
Sheamus vs. Bronson Reed vs. Ludwig Kaiser in a Triple Threat Match in the First Round of the WWE Intercontinental Championship #1 Contender Tournament
Ilja Dragunov vs. Dragon Lee vs. Dominik Mysterio in a Triple Threat Match in the First Round of the WWE Intercontinental Championship #1 Contender Tournament
