Fastlane 2017 Kickoff Recap & Review
A good cruiserweight tag match and a few backstage segments made this a decent warmup for Fastlane.
A good cruiserweight tag match and a few backstage segments made this a decent warmup for Fastlane.
A less than great RAW leads us into a PPV that feels less than compelling.
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.
Mustafa Ali and Cedric Alexander team up to face Tony Nese and Drew Gulak, and Jinder Mahal takes on Sin Cara in an okay episode of Main Event.
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.
Though it felt long at two hours, the three matches helped make this a pretty good way to kick off the 2017 Royal Rumble.
RAW celebrates Halloween with two title matches and a battle royal.
A couple of good Hell in a Cell matches make this a decent show.
The cruiserweights kick off Hell in a Cell in a fine fashion.
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!
The Shining Stars take on some local talent and Darren Young tests Jinder Mahal’s inner-peace in an okay episode of Superstars.
Good opening, good closer, and some nice matches in between. I liked the show.
Darren Young faced Jinder Mahal and Neville took on Curtis Axel in a fine, if somewhat unremarkable, episode of Superstars.
Sasha Banks and Charlotte continue to make a strong case for feud of the year in another title match, Jeri-KO takes on New Day in the ring and celebrities backstage, and Lana tells Roman Reigns to go to hell in a good episode of RAW.
Sami Zayn faces Curtis Axel in a rather slow match to start the show, but Neville takes on Jinder Mahal in a decent main event.
With two title matches and some minor developments in storylines, this was a fairly entertaining episode of RAW.
