My Thoughts on the April 28th Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix Episode:

My Thoughts: Another very good episode of Monday Night RAW. The show kicked off with the newly formed stable of Bron Breakker, Paul Heyman & Seth Rollins as they discussed Sami Zayn interrupted to call out Seth Rollins on what he was doing and how much of a hypocrite he was. But before that, Seth Rollins gave him a choice, but by the end of the night, he wanted to know if Sami Zayn was going to do the right thing and leave RAW so he won't get involved with the new stable's business. Roxanne Perez and Giulia are still targeting Rhea Ripley, as Giulia interfered in Rhea Ripley's match against Roxanne Perez and started to hammer away. I like how Roxanne Perez and Giulia are a unit, they add a big boost ot this RAW Women's Roster. Becky Lynch explained her actions. I enjoyed this promo with Becky Lynch, and Lyra Valkyria added much more to the feud, and I like how Becky Lynch was straightforward and not acting like a cartoonish heel, but more of a reasonable heel. Their match for Backlash was announced for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, which will be a good showdown, and I'm very excited for it. The Judgement Day took on the War Raiders with The New Day at commentary, and the match itself was average, but the main point was when Pemta appeared to help the War Raiders secure the win. Logan Paul cut a promo, which was interrupted by the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso. I'm not happy that his first challenger is Logan Paul, wish it was a seasoned veteran who had multiple World Title reigns. I'm not interested in this feud whatsoever, as it just doesn't do anything for me at all. Stephanie Vaquer and Ivy Nile tore it down as they had the best match of the night easily. Ivy Nile is hugely underrated. She will be a singles champion one day. Her in-ring ability is very clear. Stephanie Vaquer displayed why she's one of the best in the game right now, but I can't wait when she's full-time on Monday Night RAW. Pat McAfee made his voice heard as he wants a match with Gunther at Backlash, which was approved by the SmackDown General Manager, Nick Aldis. Now the big decision was next for Sami Zayn, as earlier in the night, Seth Rollins gave him a choice which Sami Zayn didn't accept. We had a fun main event match with Bron Breakker taking on Sami Zayn. Bron Breakker made an example out of Sami Zayn, spearing him four times to cause a Referee's Decision to end this match. Even after the match, Seth Rollins Curb Stomped Sami Zayn to close out the show. A lot of progressions in certain storylines, and I like how the newly formed stable is starting to slowly show that menacing aspect about them all, and all the heat show from tonight.

The April 28th | Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix | Match Ratings:

The Opening Match: Rhea Ripley vs. Roxanne Perez in a Singles Match | Match Rating: ***.50 | This was going so well but I knew eventually Giulia was going to appear to cause some chaos this was a fun match this feud brings so much fresh air to Rhea Ripley as we know she's trying to get her title back but she's also in a feud with two of the best young talent in WWE. But I'm very excited to see where this feud goes, as this can easily establish Giulia and Roxanne Perez as big-time players on the main roster, which they need to do as they are creating new, younger stars in WWE.

2nd Match: The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) vs. The Judgement Day (Finn Balor & JD McDonagh) (with Carlito) in a Tag Team Match | Match Rating: ***.25 | A very okay match. There wasn't much to highlight or point out. We saw the New Day in the announcer area. They were involved as the War Raiders threw Finn Balor at them. But the ending was solid with Penta helping out the War Raiders to get the much-needed victory for themselves are they are trying to recapture the WWE World Tag Team Championships.

3rd Match: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Ivy Nile (with Chad Gable) in a Singles Match | Match Rating: **** | A very fun match between these two. Ivy Nile needs more matches on this show; she's so underrated, and if booked properly, could be a good need for the women's mid-card division. Stephanie Vaquer had another great showing on Monday Night RAW. She's already over with the main roster crowd. She managed to pick up the victory and add more boost to her stock in WWE.

The Main Event Match: Bron Breakker (with Paul Heyman & Seth Rollins) vs. Sami Zayn in a Singles Match | Match Rating: ***.75 | This was needed to make the new stable of Bron Breakker, Paul Heyman & Seth Rollins more threatening. The match was very fine. Bron Breakker and Sami Zayn had a brief history in the past when Sami Zayn was the WWE Intercontinental Champion now he's being targeted by the newly formed stable because he didn't accept Seth Rollins' proposal of leaving RAW to go to SmackDown to avoid what they were planning to do on Monday Night RAW weekly. The ending sequences of the match were the best part, four spears by Bron Breakker, which caused the referee to end the match, but even after the match, Seth Rollins unleashed a Curb Stomp to Sami Zayn as the show closed out. The progression for this new stable has started well. Who'll be joining this new stable next?
