John Pollock andWai Tingreview WWE Raw following the Survivor Series featuring Seth Rollins’ Raw Town Hall.
Also on Monday’s Raw, AJ Styles defended his United States title against the winner of an impromptu fatal four-way, the return of Matt Hardy, Aleister Black leaves his room, Rusev violates his restraining order against Lana, and the build-up to a main event between Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens. Plus, John & Wai review and discuss Steve Austin’s interview with The Undertaker on the Broken Skull Sessions.
I don’t think the town hall angle was “the show sucks”, I thought it was more “we lost” and Seth is bitter. It is a follow up to Survivor Series when usually there’s none.
It’s a perfect way to turn Seth heel. Lean into what the internet thinks he already is, have him call people out more on Twitter and upset the “You need to have a good twitter game” crowd. Kevin Owens is the perfect one to do it against as well, suggested him before Raw yesterday. The internet darling that always gets backed by the hardcore fans. This should be good, should hold off on the match though and maybe stretch it to Mania with Seth just suggesting he’s not interested in facing Owens. Have Seth win the title in December, Owens then wins the Rumble and gets to face Rollins at WrestleMania.
I think fiend vs brock at WM makes the most sense. So they need the title off Brock somehow - getting it onto Rollins or KO and having them feud for it makes the most sense.
Only other option for Brock I can see is Cain but that match sucked
Great show! Thanks for covering the Undertaker/Austin interview as well. News kicking the show off and this concluding made for great bookends to the show.
I was interested to hear what Undertaker/Austin to say but didn’t have the time to sit and watch the whole thing this week - as always, your coverage more than suffices. Thanks!
Really good RAW last night. Loved the Mysterio title win and the way they are positioning Seth as a heel. Nothing terrible on the show at all, felt fresh.
Just got the WWE e-mail that Seth Rollins with be “issuing an apology” tonight. I’m saying at least a 90% chance it’s an “I’m sorry… for nothing!” style promo a la Alexa Bliss from a few years ago.
I think it will be something along the lines of “I’m sorry, I was just trying to make Raw better, because I love Monday Night Raw.” Followed by a tag match with Owens/Rollins vs AOP. Maybe Rollins gets “hurt” before the match and then comes out and turns or he just doesnt tag in.
