RAW Recap & Review – Episode 1239
Other than the main event which had Braun Strowman taking on Big Show for the first time, this episode of RAW felt like we’ve seen it all before.
Other than the main event which had Braun Strowman taking on Big Show for the first time, this episode of RAW felt like we’ve seen it all before.
Bayley gets another chance at the RAW Women’s Title and Jericho pays tribute to his best friend and brother Kevin Owens with a Festival of Friendship in the two highlights of an otherwise average episode of RAW.
While the results make this show feel like more of the same from WWE, the show itself was entertaining. It wasn’t the best Royal Rumble in history, but the Rumble match itself was fine, and Styles versus Cena stole the show.
A good show with some entertaining segments and nice matches.
A couple of good Hell in a Cell matches make this a decent show.
A six cruiserweight tag match highlights a pretty decent episode of Superstars that also featured Neville taking on Titus O’Neil.
The last RAW before Hell in a Cell was okay, but it felt a lot like a pre-show rather than a complete show on its own.
Alicia Fox once again takes on Nia Jax and Jinder Mahal faces Darren Young in a pair of rematches that are fine, but not really worth going out of your way to watch.
Goldberg returns to RAW to answer Paul Heyman’s challenge in an entertaining show that also had Rusev sharing some family photos, Seth Rollins coming up with a new nickname for Chris Jericho, Cesaro not paying much attention to Sheamus’ match against Big E, and much more!
Good opening, good closer, and some nice matches in between. I liked the show.
With two title matches and some minor developments in storylines, this was a fairly entertaining episode of RAW.
This year’s Clash of Champions was entertaining enough, but nothing seemed to get resolved in any of the storylines going into it.
This week’s Superstars features Neville versus Curtis Axel and Jack Swagger versus Titus O’Neil in two okay matches.
Quantity over quality in terms of the matches on this show make it an okay but uneven watch.
Golden Truth vs The Shining Stars and Rusev vs Jack Swagger. Both pretty good matches on a pretty good episode.
The crowning of a new Universal Champ highlights a pretty good edition of RAW.
Despite the unfortunate injury to Finn Balor at Summer Slam, this was a good follow-up show to the PPV. A series of matches took place to determine four contenders who will fight to become the new Universal Champ, a probable new contender for Charlotte’s Women’s Title is introduced, and the Dudley Boyz gave what might be a retirement speech.
This year’s Summer Slam was entertaining, though for the matches that delivered on the hype, there were others that didn’t quite live up to expectations.
The last RAW before Summer Slam was a decent show, though the wrestling suffered for the story lines heading into the PPV.
An impromptu US Title match and a cake to the face highlight a pretty enjoyable episode of RAW.
