Jeff Hardy faces Daniel Bryan, two more women qualify for Money in the Bank, new contenders for the tag titles are named, and New Day refuses to answer Miz’s questions on a good episode of SmackDown Live.
Nakamura battles Styles to determine the stipulation for their title match, New Day faces The Bar for a single spot in the Money in the Bank match, Lynch, Rose, and Deville fight for a spot in the women’s MitB, and Almas debuts on a good episode of SmackDown.
SmackDown starts getting ready for Money in the Bank with three qualifying matches including a good main event featuring Daniel Bryan versus Rusev.
The last SmackDown before Backlash was light on wrestling, but it did have a couple of matches definitely worth checking out.
The Superstar Shakeup brings the promise of new feuds, though this episode of RAW was more about spectacle than action.
The RAW after Wrestlemania brings some new faces and surprises (some more exciting than others), but one superstar appears to be at the end of her time in the ring.
Two fun battle royals and a great Cruiserweight Title match make this a nice warm-up for Wrestlemania 34!
The final RAW before Wrestlemania provided one great match between Finn Balor and Seth Rollins, and a whole lot of buildup of varying quality.
Sami Zayn does his best to avoid Braun Strowman while Becky Lynch and ALexa Bliss have a good match in the third week of the Mixed Match Challenge.
RAW 25 is a show packed with nostalgia and a ton of familiar faces!
A good main event couldn’t really redeem a show where the first hour was pointless and dumb. There were some good things on this RAW, but not enough.
This underwhelming edition of WWE RAW had some potential, but the continuing stories didn’t develop much and the matches weren’t great.
The RAW Tag Titles are on the line in an show that was a definite improvement over last week’s RAW.
Despite some highlights, this wasn’t a great show. It felt like people were covering for lots of people who were taking vacation time, both wrestlers and writing staff.
After winning at Survivor Series, RAW started setting up new story lines with a big return and a big title match. They also jumped back into some other story lines that got put on hold during the buildup to Survivor Series.
This show felt like a promo for another show. There were lots of matches, but all but one were squashes.
Storylines seemed to take a backseat this week, but that allowed Cedric Alexander’s NXT debut to take center stage.
Since this is the last episode of NXT before Takeover: Brooklyn, this show was basically a really long promo for the event (even though there were a couple of matches).
