Thoughts on the March 17th Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW in Brüssels, Belgium on Netflix Episode:
Thoughts: This show was heavily carried by the crowd. But we started the show off with John Cena, who was poured with boos from the Brussels crowd as he walked into the ring. He cut a very cutthroat promo about why he did the things he did at WWE Elimination Chamber, as he attributed it to being in an abusive relationship with the fans. They would cheer and boo, and he had enough. The promo was one of John Cena's best works, as you can tell he was enjoying the fact he could go at the fans. Cody Rhodes came out to a loud ovation and cut a quick promo at John Cena, which left him speechless and enraged with anger as Cody Rhodes stepped away going to the back. The first match of the show was very entertaining, but the only issue is it didn't feel like a No Holds Barred Match but the match itself was very pleasant to watch. I thought Penta's first feud in WWE was a success, and kudos to Ludwig Kaiser, who helped make Penta look very strong in his first feud in WWE. Now Penta eyes gold as he's going after the WWE Intercontinental Championship. The next match felt like a very much filler match as it was two minutes long, and Dakota Kai secured the victory over Ivy Nile. The WWE Women's World Championship contract signing happened, and it was peaceful at first until Rhea Ripley appeared, and chaos ensued. Rhea Ripley picked up both Iyo Sky and Bianca Belair and put them on a table. Rhea Ripley then wrote her name on the bottom of the contract, signaling she wanted in on this match. Jey Uso and Austin Theory were next up, but it was a squash match as Jey Uso made a quick example of Theory. After the match, Gunther, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, appeared and attacked Jey Uso. LWO and American Made had a tag team match where the crowd was extremely hot for this one, and LWO picked up the win with a mysterious man laying both members out after the match. Seth Rollins came out to cut a very sluggish promo, not his best work, as his promo wasn't needed in this show, and he could have done some backstage interviews with him. The main event came, and it was a very solid main event for the WWE Intercontinental Championship as Bron Breakker and Finn Balor had a solid match. Finn Balor was by accident screwed over by Dominik Mysterio, which helped Bron Breakker retain his title, but afterward, Penta came and helped Bron Breakker to clean house and take out The Judgement Day. This was a very decent episode of Monday Night RAW. I wish some of the matches were longer, but this European Tour gonna have so many fans because the fans are amazing. I can't for SmackDown this week in Italy and next week when RAW is in Glasgow, Scotland.
The March 17th | Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW in Brüssels, Belgium on Netflix | Match Ratings:
The Opening Match: Penta vs. Ludwig Kaiser in a No Holds Barred Match | Match Rating: **** | This was the match of the show. These two always had good chemistry from the previous matches they had together. One issue I had with this match was that it didn't feel like a No Holds Barred Match. Wish they utilized the weapons more, but the match itself was very solid. Penta and Ludwig Kaiser had a decent amount of moves to give each other. Ludwig Kaiser playing the chickenshit heel excelled at doing that. Penta had a crazy Mexican Destroyer off the middle rope, which helped him capitalize on the win. Now Penta is done with this feud; he said his next is the WWE Intercontinental Championship. This was a very solid first feud for Penta in WWE, as now it's over, his eyes are on to some singles gold.
2nd Match: Dakota Kai vs. Ivy Nile (with Brutus Creed & Julius Creed) in a Singles Match | Match Rating: N/A | This match was a filler match. I was excited about this as these two can go in the ring, but this was a very quick match with LWO coming out and attacking American Made, which allowed Dakota Kai to get the upper hand and secure the victory.
3rd Match: Jey Uso vs. Austin Theory (with Grayson Waller) in a Singles Match | Match Rating: N/A | This match was twenty-nine seconds long. I thought this would be a quick one, but not this quick. Austin Theory's fall from grace has been very shocking as two years ago, around this time, he was feuding with John Cena heading towards WrestleMania, and now he’s jobbing out in seconds. Afterward, Gunther came out, and a brawl ensued as the crowd was alive for that. But this match wasn’t needed for this show as it did nothing but kill the little value that Austin Theory still had left currently.
4th Match: LWO (Dragon Lee & Rey Mysterio) vs. American Made (Brutus Creed & Julius Creed) in a Tag Team Match | Match Rating: **.75 | A very quick-paced match between these two teams started firey with back-and-forth action from both teams. Seeing LWO getting the win was refreshing as they suffered a loss last week at MSG to The New Day, so the bounce-back win was needed. A mystery man in a mask came out and attacked both men of the LWO again. Last week, that mystery man did the same thing now, he did it again, but he fended off as security tried to chase him out of the arena. Wish this match was longer, but it was a solid, quick tag team match with cool spots from Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio. The crowd was enjoying both of them.
The Main Event Match: Bron Breakker (c) vs. Finn Balor in a Singles Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship | Match Rating: ***.75 | This was a very solid main event title match. Finn Balor and Bron Breakker dished it out in the ring. The action was very pleasant to watch, seeing Finn Balor counter a bunch of Bron Breakker moves and getting the upper hand on him. Bron Breakker, with his quickness and his strength, kept pushing in this match. The Judgement Day members Dominik Mysterio and Carlito came out trying to help Finn Balor capture the win and the WWE Intercontinental Championship, but it backfired as Dominik Mysterio tried to push Bron Breakker off the top rope but instead got Finn Balor caught up and allowed Bron Breakker to hit the spear and retain his title. After the match, a brawl ensued, but Penta came out to help Bron Breakker, and the closing shot of the show is a potenial WrestleMania showdown between Bron Breakker and Penta as they faced off with the WWE Intercontinental Championship in the hands of both men.
The March 17th | WWE Monday Night RAW in Brüssels, Belgium on Netflix | Match of the Night: Penta vs. Ludwig Kaiser in a No Holds Barred Match | Match Rating: ****
The March 17th | Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW in Brüssels, Belgiumon Netflix | Show Grade: 7.50/10 (B-) | This was a show that was carried by the crowd. The matches on the show were very short outside of two of them. The main highlight of this show was John Cena's explanation of why he did what he did. But this was a very decent show to conclude, and next week in Glasgow, there gonna be a lot of eyeballs as John Cena and Cody Rhodes will be in the same place again.
