Monday Night Raw Reaction

Monday Night Raw is in the books. Following on the footsteps of Roadblock: End of the Line, what would be the state of the Raw brand as the days lead us to January 29th, 2017 and the Royal Rumble at the Alamo Dome?

  The big news coming out of the show is the rematch for the WWE Universal Championship between champion Kevin Owens vs United States Champion Roman Reigns. Chris Jericho, in an attempt to prevent him from interfering in the match, will be suspended over the ring in a shark cage. Anyone with a cursory knowledge of wrestling will remember that stipulation matches like this seem to always find the person locked in said cage finding a way to get a weapon of some sort to the person he supports allowing them to get the victory. This just occurred at NXT: Takeover Toronto when Paul Ellering was able to get a weapon to the team he manages, The Authors of Pain.

  Overall, this show is setting the seeds for the future of the Raw brand. As such, if you miss this episode, you’re really not missing much apart from Chris Jericho being his ever funny self. I want to see the WWE do more to establish Kevin Owens as a legitimate threat if they want folks to take the rematch with Reigns seriously. They also need to carefully groom the Women’s Division. They’ve had an amazing feud with Charlotte and Sasha reach its conclusion. If people are going to continue to take the division seriously, they need to build more stars. It’s put up or shut up time.
