My Thoughts on the November 24th Episode of WWE Monday Night RAW:
My Thoughts: A disappointing episode of RAW, as it just felt very odd, and where are the women's matches? The show was highlighted by an amazing match between Carmelo Hayes and Gunther in which we saw a star being born in Carmelo Hayes, asd we hope this transitions him into getting a major push. The other matches on the show were decent. My wishes and thoughts to Penta as he suffered a shoulder injury, wishing for his speedy recovery. The Women's WarGame Segment was pretty cool, the brawl was awesome, and the Main Event was okay with the usual WarGames Brawl. Once this all wraps up, they need to hit the reset button and have a WWE Draft, new storylines, and call-ups. 2025 was a very mediocre year for WWE, and they need 2026 to be something special. Have the young talent take over and tell new creative stories.
The November 24th Episode of WWE Monday Night RAW — The Match Ratings:
The Opening Match: Gunther vs. Carmelo Hayes in the Last Time Is Now Tournament Quarterfinal Match | The Match Rating: ****.50 — This was Carmelo Hayes' "03' John Cena Moment" where he played the underdog and came up short, but in the process of that, gained a lot of respect and praise from many. This was such an amazing match. This was one of the best Monday Night RAW Matches of 2025. Carmelo Hayes had a lot to prove, and he proved it. A man who has been overlooked and underutilized all year had his potenial breakout performance, showing people he's what he said he is, and he did that against Gunther. Gunther looked great in this match. He and Carmelo Hayes had great chemistry in the ring. The match had so many moments where I thought Carmelo Hayes was going to pull it off, but he came up just short in the process. Gunther is now moving on and will face Solo Sikoa, and for Carmelo Hayes, his story is just beginning as a babyface. The crowd was behind him, and the fans on the internet have been praising him. If people in the back have sense, push this man to the moon; he's on the level of being the face of this company. But an amazing match, and great stuff by both men.
The 2nd Match: Rey Mysterio vs. JD McDonagh (with Finn Balor) in a Singles Match | The Match Rating: ***.25 — This was a very solid match. JD McDonagh has been working his ass off. He has been delivering us some fun matches. Rey Mysterio had his first singles match since his match with American Made's own Julius Creed back in April. JD McDonagh and Rey Mysterio had solid chemistry. Rey Mysterio got the win as the crowd erupted for him, and continues to show us this man can never age because he moves like he was back in WCW. Age can't take Rey Mysterio down.
The 3rd Match: Solo Sikoa (with Talla Tonga) vs. Penta in the Last Time Is Now Tournament Quarterfinal Match | The Match Rating: N/A — This match never really got going as Penta suffered an injury trying to hit and move on the outside, and injured his shoulder. Solo Sikoa got the win and will face Gunther in the Semi-Finals of the Last Time Is Now Tournament. My prayers to Penta as I wish for him a speedy recovery.
The Main Event Match: Drew McIntyre & Logan Paul vs. The Usos (Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso) in a WarGames Advantage Tag Team Match | The Match Rating: **.50 — This was a decent match. Drew McIntyre just feels right being on RAW. I miss when he was on RAW. That's when he was at his best. The Usos were decent, and Jey Uso had some botchy moments that were already spreading all over on Twitter. Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre got the win, which, in wrestling terms, we know what will happen this Saturday. And after the match, a huge brawl between both WarGames Teams. I just wish it were CM Punk and Cody Rhodes in this match instead of the Usos; that would've made it better for me, but the Usos are a legendary team, so I can't say much. But WarGames excitement isn't really high wish they could bring back the old school five-on-five elimination tag matches, as I feel like WarGames needs a couple of years' break.
The November 24th Episode of WWE Monday Night RAW — The Match of the Night: Gunther vs. Carmelo Hayes in the Last Time Is Now Tournament Quarterfinal Match | The Match Rating: ****.50
The November 24th Episode of WWE Monday Night RAW — The Episode Grade: 4.75/10 (D+) — A disappointing episode of RAW, feeling quite strange and lacking women’s matches. The highlight was an incredible match between Carmelo Hayes and Gunther, showcasing Carmelo’s rising star and hopefully earning him a major push. The other matches were decent. Wishing a speedy recovery to Penta after his shoulder injury. The Women’s WarGames segment was impressive, with a great brawl, and the main event was typical WarGames fare. Once this storyline concludes, WWE should reset with a draft, new storylines, and call-ups. 2025 was mediocre for WWE, and 2026 needs to be exceptional—focusing on young talent and fresh creative stories.
