Take a moment to give WWE 2 thumbs from last night’s final Monday Night Raw . Definitely was more to like on the show than not .
The show closed with the final confrontation between the 4 contests in Universal Championship match . Heyman cut another Heyman promo getting across that Lesnar does not have to be pinned to loose the title . Joe , Strowman , and Reigns played their roles adequately . The final pull apart was a nice visual to really sell The Main Event .
Weeks I’ve lamented The Womens Division on Raw and Smackdown , but last night Sasha Banks in her hometown of Boston stole the show . The hardest matches to sell are when there is noticeable size difference . This was one of the best women matches of the year and definitely worth seeking out . Hats go off to Nia Jaxx ; who inexperience was not a factor last night .
I was really curious about the follow up on Rollins-Ambrose saga last week . While personally I thought there performances were a little underwhelming ; the live crowd ate it up . Button line a significant reason why this has worked so well is because of the cache The Shield still has . Shield reuniting is a big card WWE has left to play , but the slow burn of getting two of the members back together are a nice appetizer for now .
Head scratching moments of the night was WWE giving away two SS matches away for free . Bray vs Balor had very little juice behind simply because there is no real story here . Bray won clean followed buy pouring blood all over Fin ; while a different visual than usual I’m not sure it got anyone excited for the rematch Sunday . We had a Cruiserweight title change last night as Neville nearly year long title reign was ended . While some might see this out of nowhere ; the positives are giving The Cruiserweights a spot light they would not receive on Sunday . Also Neville to me as proven his heel character is ready to be in more important programs than currently
Finally even for the talent not on the card had a good night as well. Not going to review any of it because of its irrelevance. Enjoy
