BackLash Offered More than Expected. Can RAW Keep Up?...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?

Happy Monday.  So, who got to see BackLash this past Sunday?  Well, I have to say the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever was certainly epic.  I love that Edge has returned and has brought all his knowledge of working on TV with him.  He’s proving the benefit of having a Love of the Game.  Not to say Randy Orton didn’t do his thing.  He’s proving that the better caliber the opponent, the more you get out of him so, these matches are proving to be win-win.  It’s serving as a glimmer of hope if you ask me.  I hope everyone on the roster is taking notes because these may be the predecessors for matches of the WWE future.

Yet, before we get too ahead of ourselves, plenty held to current WWE form.  Asuka’s and Nia Jax’s match was basically tossed out for a rematch tonight on RAW and the fact that Andrade and Apollo Crews had their match on the un-promoted Kickoff show gives you a sense of where Andrade’s heading since he picked up the “L”.  He must not be picking up English as quickly as people thought.  Bobby Lashley getting the loss due to Lana’s interference was very telling as well because that tends to indicate one of the staunch laws of the WWE Universe.  All partnerships are eventually broken.  Could this be an indication of a Rusev return? Hmm, don’t know.  Not sure if the lesson has been learned yet but I suppose we shall see.

Though this wasn’t so much wrestling but a campy aside, the work the Street Profits, Viking Raiders and Akira Tozawa did wasn’t the best but, I appreciated their attempt at humor and just being entertaining.  They may want to work with some stand-up comics or rustle up some Saturday Night Live writer alums to get the most out of these sorts of segments.  If they’re just gonna be fluff, they might as well be funny.  I realize that’s what they’re going for but if this isn’t their niche might as well get professional help or stick to the wrestlers who have a great sense of comedic timing.

So, that brings us to tonight.  RAW will have the fallout show and already we know that the RAW Women’s Title match that wasn’t will get its second chance.  Also, Seth Rollins will remind us that he continues to be delusional and has invited both Dominik and Rey Mysterio to make an appearance to perhaps threaten their eyesight in tandem.  There’s also word that some sort of “surprise” is store for us but of course, we have to watch and see.  And with that, funny tweets get retweeted and as for Likes/Favorites, well, I suppose we’ll start to see if these Creative changes take effect and if they’re for the better.   Let’s not be too standoffish but let’s not fool ourselves either.  If you cough up a gem, you’ll be rewarded.

 

See You in a Bit,
