BackLash 2025 - RAW Fallout...

 How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?

How’d you like BackLash? I liked it! It was solid from start to finish. I’m like most and thought the opening Fatal-4-Way was the most fun though the main event brought me around in the end. I feel everyone should generally feel good about this show. It was respectfully executed and set us up well for Money in the Bank. Never thought I’d see the day but it’s all starting to come together.

As for my Matches of Interest, I think my sentiments were validated for the most part. Lyra Valkyria became the endearing victim in a win followed by a beatdown from Lady Becky Lynch. Pat McAfee “kept it real” and basically warmed up and went for it against GUNTHER but kept it gutsy with some help from Michael Cole. Cole was an unexpected ingredient to this showdown as he spoke out against Gunther infringing upon their journalistic integrity and right to Freedom of Speech. A little social commentary getting sprinkled in, if you ask me 😉

I figured this was set up for a rematch down the road that I can see being quite exciting if McAfee can get back into fighting shape. As I figured, he seemed a little rusty out there but he seems to keep mostly in shape, generally speaking so, with a crash course training regiment, it’s not impossible but we’ll see if that’s where WWE Brass’ heads are at. It also doesn’t need to happen.

Also, they did have some surprises as we were introduced to Jeff Cobb who appears to be joining the Bloodline 2.0. And Chad Gable/El Grande Americano ruined Penta’s aka Lucha-Mitsu’s Intercontinental Championship hopes. This was fine by me since I wasn’t all that invested in the outcomes. They were fun twists that clearly will play into the Fallout. Don’t mind it at all.

The general consensus for Match of the Night does go to the Fatal-4-Way as they all came out to play. I even liked how Jacob Fatu seemed to not know about Cobb coming into play. He shouldn’t be surprised. Sikoa basically brought him in the same way. Shouldn’t have thought he would be the last. He knows they got cousins in the woodwork. But just to be clear Cobb isn’t related, just has Polynesian roots. He’s like Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. Where else are you gonna put ‘em?

Now that BackLash is done and dusted, we now can get to the official Fallout on tonight’s RAW. We can expect Finn Bálor to stay sharp with some help from AJ Styles. Chad Gable will get in Penta’s/Lucha-Mitsu’s face. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky will team up to continue breaking in Roxanne Perez and Giulia. And CM Punk will take a moment to tell us some things. What went down doesn’t directly affect him but we can see how it could in good time. Suppose we’ll see how he feels about the Future or what little he can currently “foresee”. 

The unofficial replay party should get started during the 8 o’clock hour. Got a head start on the Monday tasks. There’s still some stuff to do but not as much as usual. Always gotta appreciate days like this. We’ll get it all done.

See You in a Bit,
