RAW 25
So I was all hyped up for Raw 25 which had the makings to kick off the Road to Wrestlemania.
On the Pre-show, was billed as Raw 25 Staring The Undertaker. Well, The Undertaker had a 5-minute spot over at the Manhatten center In the first hour.
While the rest of the legends that made an appearance. it was more like a show and tell. Lining them up on the stage area like they do with the Hall of Fame at Wrestlemania.
The APA got more TV Time than any returning legend on Raw 25.
The start of the show was The McMahon's with an appearance from Stone cold drinking beer and whooping ass with stunners to Vince and Shane.
But apart from that nothing Not even any suprise Hogan return No Mick Foley No Rock No big Pops at all.
They could have done so much with RAW25 but they didn't. I was seriously expecting some kind of old vs New confrontations. The Charlotte, McCool teaser or something but there was nothing Much.
Even the Match for the IC Championship was OK reigns dropped the Belt to the MIZ making Miz a 8 time champ. I would have thought they would have kept the belt on Reigns seeing as the Sheild is one man down with Dean Ambrose out for nine month.
Unless they are stripping the sheild of belts to bring in a rumored third person to step in for Dean in his absence.
The only thing that I found interesting last night was DX kind of passing the tourch to the Balor Club. Rumors have been running wild across the Net regarding a Bullet club reunion.
WWE are calling the Bullet Club the Balor Club due to an active Bullet club in ROH and NJPW.
So I am expecting the undisputed era coming to the main roster pretty soon.
and was actually thinking about this yesterday that we have not had a large Faction in the WWE since the Attitude era, so I can see this being a good time to have one.
Braun Strowman Dominated again Brock and Kane which is good because maybe, just maybe at the Rumble. Raw will get its main Title back. Has for the last year it as been round the part time Brock Lesnars waste, so we have not seen the Universal title that much on weekly TV. and having some RAW PPV's without a Title Match.
So I am hoping they are saving all the suprises for Sundays Royal Rumble. Because after all the hype of RAW 25 I was personally left Like a Kid who asked for a new computer for christmas and got a calculator.
Keep an eye out for the Royal Rumble Predictions later in the week.
Until Then......
I thought it was a VERY fun show. I didn't really expect all that much to happen, but it was so great to see everyone back. Some cut better promos than others, but it was so entertaining. I loved watching RoadDogg do his thing, Miz winning the belt was AWEEEEESOME (but predictable), and my favorite part of the evening was when Elias cracked Cena with the guitar.
I really dig Elias and I hope that WWE gives him a good push.
Who Wants to Walk with Elias!?!?!?!?!
Don't get me wrong it was a fun show. I just thought they could have done a whole lot more with it and it didn't live up to the hype that surrounded #RAW25
205 was okay especially seeing the mix win the IC title Eight times.
