Thoughts on the March 3rd Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix Episode:
Thoughts: Since RAW has been on Netflix, they have delivered every week as every RAW feels like a must-see television. We started the show off with probably the best CM Punk promo since his return to WWE in 2023 as he spat fire at The Rock, John Cena, and Seth Rollins. Seth Rollins came out and had an amazing brawl with CM Punk, which had the fans going nuts. Gunther faced off against Otis, and they had a heavyweight battle where Otis looked great. I need Otis more on TV because it's just a joy watching him wrestle. Lyra Valkyria and Ivy Nile had a fun title match. I enjoyed this as Lyra Valkyria defending her title weekly should be the direction they go because they need to continue to elevate the belt as it can be a workhorse belt for RAW. CM Punk and Seth Rollins continued to brawl backstage Adam Pearce had enough and announced at Madison Square Garden that next week, we'll see CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins in a Steel Cage Match. The War Raiders and American Made had an awesome tag team match, with The War Raiders retaining I wanna see who's next for them I would love it if Fraxiom could pop up and challenge them soon once they drop the WWE NXT Tag Team Championships. The Main Event was the Match of the Night as Iyo Sky defeated Rhea Ripley to become the new WWE Women's World Champion. An amazing RAW next week they are at MSG and the card is stacked. RAW continues to deliver amazing matches and great segments RAW is easily the best weekly wrestling show at this moment in time.
The March 3rd | Edition of WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix | Match Ratings:
The Opening Match: Gunther vs. Otis (with Akira Tozawa & Maxxine Dupri) in a Singles Match | Match Rating: ***.25 | Otis needs to be pushed because he reminds me so much of a mixture of Bam Bam & Vader, and in this match against Gunther, he looked great. I enjoyed this as the opener, and I enjoyed the fact Gunther was wrestling back-to-back weeks, which needs to happen more. He had a fun squash match with Akira Tozawa and a fun, hard-hitting heavyweight match against Otis. Otis needs to be on TV more maybe have Akira Tozawa and Otis in the Tag Division more or have Otis in the Mid-Card scene because I need more Otis on TV, same with Akira Tozawa, these two need more opportunities as they are over, and can wrestle their asses off.
2nd Match: Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Ivy Nile in a Singles Match for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship | Match Rating: ***.75 | I hope they continue to have Lyra Valkyria continue to defend this title weekly it's slowly becoming a workhorse title, which I love because the matches Lyra Valjkyria has had since winning the belt have been very fun. I think this match between Lyra Valkyria and Ivy Nile was hard-hitting, very much back-and-forth, but what I enjoyed was the time these women got to wrestle because they could showcase and make the crowd get out of their seats, and that was the case for both women's matches were on this RAW Card. Ivy Nile, in the future, I do see winning this title she's very underrated now I wonder who's next for Lyra Valkyria?
3rd Match: The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) (c) vs. American Made (Brutus Creed & Julius Creed) in a Tag Team for the WWE World Tag Team Championships | Match Rating: ****.25 | Man, I thought American Made was gonna do it, but it was a hell of a tag team title defense. American Made Julius Creed is a future Superstar because he just moves in that ring like a young Kurt Angle. The War Raiders looked great in this match, and it's great to see that they are acting like how they were in NXT, this fun, exciting, and entertaining team again. There were a couple of moments I thought American Made was going to do it, but The War Raiders retained in a great match. I hope shortly American Made gets the belts soon because the matches they would have with those belts would be marvelous.
The Main Event Match: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Iyo Sky in a Singles Match for the WWE Women’s World Championship | Match Rating: ****.75 | What an amazing Main Event by these two. Iyo Sky is undefeated against Rhea Ripley as Rhea Ripley still couldn't come up strong. The chemistry was there; the intense spots were there. Bianca Belair being ringside-watching added more elements to this match, noting she faces whoever wins this match. The outside scuffle between Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley had Rhea Ripley off her game, which allowed Iyo Sky to capitalize and get the win and become a 2x WWE Women's World Champion. Now, at WrestleMania, it's gonna be Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bianca Belair for the WWE Women's World Championship. I do assume Rhea Ripley will try to insert herself into the match, which I won't mind at all.
The March 3rd | WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix | Match of the Night: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Iyo Sky in a Singles Match for the WWE Women’s World Championship | Match Rating: ****.75
