Thoughts on the January 13th Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix, Show:


Thoughts: This was 100x better than last week episode of Monday Night RAW. It had four very good matches with Penta Debut Match, Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser, Lyra Valkyria vs. Dakota Kai for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, and the Main Event Street Fight with Finn Balor and Damian Priest. Also to note had two very good segments from CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre when the show began. Gunther and Jey Uso had a great segment where Jey Uso dropped the act and really went in deep told how he felt. I thought this show was great this is the formula for the weekly show it had everything good matches, good segments, and storytelling. Next week RAW has Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre which I expect to be very good. This is was refreshing to watch after last week abysmal episode of Monday Night RAW on Netflix.


The January 13th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix Match Ratings:


The Opening Match: Penta vs. Chad Gable in a Singles Match - Match Rating: ****.50 - What a WWE Debut for Penta I loved the presentation and loved the fact the crowd knew who he was. He had a big reception throughout the match. Kudos to Chad Gable he put on an hell of a performance this was such a great match. This was a hot opener and Penta seemingly defeated the washed allegations because he looked great in this match. This is the booking I wanna see for Penta he was treated like a Superstar and that's what he is with his work in Lucha Underground, Impact, and AEW he's already over with the crowd had an awesome post - match promo I'm really excited to see what he does in WWE because I do think he'll do great and once Rey Fenix come to WWE the Tag Division are going to get one of the best tag teams in wrestling once Rey Fenix contract with AEW is done so he can jump ship.


2nd Match: Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser in a Singles Match - Match Rating: ****.25 - A very hard hitting match. These two always had great chemistry with each other. This should've had a couple more minutes but it was still a very good match. Ludwig Kaiser has been one of the most underrate WWE Wrestlers, and wrestlers in general for quite sometime and I feel like eventually he'll get a big push for a title but for Sheamus after the match he confronted Bron Breakker who was in the crowd watching so it seems like Sheamus will be trying to get the WWE Intercontinental Championship a title he has never won in WWE so this feud I'm expecting is gonna last until WrestleMania which I'm happy about.


3rd Match: Lyra Valkyria vs. Dakota Kai in the Final Round of the (Vacant) WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship - Match Rating: ***.50 - This was a very fun final round match. I wish this match was the main event because in my opinion it would've made more sense because how it's a final round match. But the chemistry between both ladies was good. Lyra Valkryia is the great first choice for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion. She can definitely make that title a work - horse championship. Dakota Kai I feel like should get a rematch at Saturday's Night Main Event but she will eventually hold that title in the future. But overall very happy with the outcome.


4th Match: Sami Zayn vs. The Miz in a Singles Match - Match Rating: N/A - This was obviously a win for Sami Zayn to just get him a win after suffering couple defeats in the past weeks. The Miz got demolished in this match.


The Main Event Match: Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor in a Street Fight Match - Match Rating: ****.25 - This was the best match out of the feud this was a great street fight. This was a great way to end off Monday Night RAW. I really enjoyed the bumps the high action, and The Judgement Day interfering which is surprising because this new version isn't good. Finn Bálor looked great probably his best match in recent times. Damian Priest is super over this man is gonna have a great 2025 and this match showed why he's in the position and why he's at the top of the card in WWE. Overall great show with a great main event.


The January 13th, WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix, Match of the Night: Penta vs. Chad Gable in a Singles Match - Match Rating: ****.50


The January 13th, Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix Show Grade: 8.50/10 (B+) - I thought this was a very fun episode so much better than last week Debut Episode of RAW on Netflix. This is the formula I hope they use for every week because this episode was so much fun.
