Thoughts on the December 16th, Edition of WWE Tuesday Night NXT Show:
Thoughts: I enjoyed every second of this week's episode of Monday Night RAW. The start of the show they started it off hot with CM Punk and Seth "Freakin" Rollins. They traded some voices and then a brawl ensued and I loved the brawl it was intense and shows how much they truly hate one and another. The Intercontinental Championship Match was very fun Ludwig Kaiser had an outstanding showing in this match. Him and Bron Breakker have a lot of chemistry with each other but at the end Bron Breakker retained in a very good title defense. Adam Pearce announced that at January 6th when RAW moves to Netflix it's gonna be CM Punk vs. Seth "Freakin" Rollins. Zoey Starks punched her ticket to the next round of the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament where now she'll be facing Dakota Kai in a few weeks. Rhea Ripley confronted Liv Morgan again, I really hope on the Netflix Debut of RAW I hope that's where the feud ends at. Chad Gable reignited his feud with Alpha Academy and will be facing Akira Tozawa on next week episode of Monday Night RAW. The Main Event we saw The War Raiders become a 2x WWE Tag Team Champions. A very good moment as both men came back from nearly career ending injuries and now will lead the RAW Tag Division into the next year very happy for Erik & Ivar. This was a very fun episode and can't wait to see how next week episode goes.
The December 16th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW Match Ratings:
The Opening Match: Bron Breakker (c) vs. Ludwig Kaiser for the WWE Intercontinental Championship - Match Rating: ****.25 - I really enjoyed this match. Ludwig Kaiser & Bron Breakker have great chemistry with each other. I thought Ludwig Kaiser weakening Bron Breakker, and attacking him and really having the upper hand in the beginning was cool stuff. Bron Breakker went Mike Awesome and did that cool flying elbow on to Ludwig Kaiser. I love the fact they gave this match so much time eighteen minutes for this match was needed and I'm happy they did that. Bron Breakker got the win after spearing the day - lights out of Ludwig Kaiser and retained his WWE Intercontinental Championship. Bron Breakker is going to have a magical 2025 on the Main Roster this was just the start in 2024. I really do see him near the end of 2025 getting the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and start his run as the face of WWE or the face of which ever brand he's assigned to. But again hell of a match and much more of this when RAW goes to Netflix.
2nd Match: Zoey Starks vs. Kayden Carter vs. Raquel Rodriguez in a Women’s Triple Threat Match in the First Round of the (Vacant) WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament - Match Rating: **.75 - It was an okay match nothing too special. Very surprised at the fact that Zoey Starks is advancing I thought it was gonna be Raquel Rodriguez because I know Triple H has been trying for years to make her seem important when the fanfare don't really acre for her. But Zoey Starks vs. Dakota Kai sounds like a fun little match for the Semi - Final Round so I'm kinda excited for that.
The Main Event Match: The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) defeats The Judgement Day (Finn Balor & JD McDonagh) (c) for the WWE World Tag Team Championship - Match Rating: **** - The War Raiders are finally back. They have been fully established again and will be the faces of the RAW Tag Team Division and now can be taken seriously. I'm very happy how they been booked since both returned from serious injuries. I thought this match was very solid. At one point I had a feeling that The Judgement Day might actually win but that didn't happen. Thanks to Damian Priest he got Finn Balor on the outside and this allowed the referee being distracted by JD McDonagh as he had a chair in his hand. The War Raiders got the last laugh as they are now 2x WWE Tag Team Champions, and now will have a great run with the belts and really rejuvenate this RAW Tag Team Division and they're the right choices to do that as I have faith they'll restore this division on Monday Night RAW. Congrats to the War Raiders they 100% deserve this.
The December 16th, WWE Monday Night RAW Match of the Night: Bron Breakker (c) vs. Ludwig Kaiser for the WWE Intercontinental Championship - Match Rating: ****.25
The December 16th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW Show Grade: 8.25/10 (B+) - I thought this was a very good episode of WWE Monday Night RAW because of the fact their was two great title defenses happening on the show. I love that they spaced each match out to give them a 16+ Minute long title match. I’m kinda surprised that Zoey Starks is advancing but she’s underrated so her match against Dakota Kai gonna be fun to see when that happens. CM Punk & Seth Rollins was announced for the Netflix Premier of Monday Night RAW on January 6th. I just thought all around it was a very entertaining episode.
Next Week WWE Monday Night RAW, December 23rd, Edition Episode Announced Matches & Segments:
Dexter Lumis vs. The Miz in a Singles Match.
Iyo Sky vs. Natalya vs. Alba Frye in a Women’s Triple Threat Match in the First Round of the (Vacant) WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament.
