Thoughts on the December 9th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW Show:


Thoughts: A overall poor episode of RAW. I think the two hour format really hit the in - ring matches as every match felt rush and didn't hit a 2nd gear in the matches. I thought the Seth Rollins Segment & The New Day Segment were the only positives of this show but besides that a very poor overall show. I was happy to see the women get 75% of the matches tonight but I hate the fact all felt rush and they didn't really lt them go at the full potential. The Final Testament vs. The Wyatt Sicks should've been a stipulation Tornado Tag Match because a general tag team didn't work in my opinion. Next week the card is looking very good with two title matches, and another first round matchup for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament.


The December 9th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW Match Ratings:


The Opening Match: The Final Testament (Akam, Karrion Kross, and Rezar) & The Miz (with Scarlett) vs. The Wyatt Sicks (Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy and Uncle Howdy) (with Nikki Cross) in a Eight - Man Tag Team Match - Match Rating: **.75 - It was an average eight - man tag team match. The feud will contiune as Karrion Kross got the victory over Uncle Howdy. But this is a great thing for The Final Testament because in every feud they've been in they have lost big - time so this win can restore some seriouness to the stable. There was some fun spots like Dexter Lumis dive to the outside, and Joe Gacy wrestling like he's a crusierweight but very happy for Karrion Kross and the rest of The Final Testament but the match could've been a lot better if it was a Tornado Tag Team Match I feel like it would've delievred.


2nd Match: Liv Morgan vs. Dakota Kai in a Non - Title Match - Match Rating: ** - This was an okay match. I always enjoy seeing Dakota Kai get some single matches as she's very underrated in my opinion. But Liv Morgan got the win then afterwards Pure Fusion Collective started to attack Dakota Kai until Damage CTRL came out and made the save but at the end Liv Morgan laid out Iyo Sky who she's facing at WWE Saturday Night Main Event for the WWE Women's World Championship.


3rd Match: Lyra Valkyria vs. Zelina Vega vs. Ivy Nile in a Women's Triple Threat Match in the First Round of the (Vacant) WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship - Match Rating: *.25 - It very was sloppy, the match wasn't good whatsoever. Lyra Valkryia winning was 100% the right choice of who should had won so I'm very much happy that she won and advancing to the next round. But the matches on SmackDown for the WWE Women's United States Championship are miles better than the RAW WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament Matches.


The Main Event Match: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez in a Anything Goes Match - Match Rating: *.75 - A very sloppy match. Raquel Rodriguez isn't good I don't know what they see in her as a wrestler because she doesn't click with the crowd and she didn't look good in this match whatsoever. I thought the "Anything Goes" stipulation was gonna make this match much better but it didn't and I'm not surprised because Rhea Ripley & Raquel Rodriguez each time they wrestled it hasn't been the best of chemistry and matches between the two.


The December 9th, WWE Monday Night RAW Match of the Night: The Final Testament (Akam, Karrion Kross, and Rezar) & The Miz (with Scarlett) vs. The Wyatt Sicks (Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy and Uncle Howdy) (with Nikki Cross) in a Eight - Man Tag Team Match - Match Rating: **.75


The December 9th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW Show Grade: 3.25/10 (D-) - A very poor episode of WWE Monday Night RAW. I thought this episode wasn't good as the previous episodes.I was happy that the women were getting the spotlight tonight as 75% of the matches were women's matches but I felt like the RAW two hour format kinda made the matches be short and not reach a 2nd gear. Next week card is looking very good so hopefully a bounce back episode is upon us.

  1. The Judgement Day (Finn Balor & JD McDonagh) (c) vs. The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) for the WWE World Tag Team Championships
