Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin: An 80-second match that didn’t do much for either team. Perhaps I’m giving him too much credit, but it’s not like Vince McMahon to tease something he doesn’t intend to deliver, so I wonder if the plan is to circle back to Kingston vs. Jinder Mahal in a King of the Ring first round match: WWE teased viewers with the only truly compelling matchup of the KOTR tournament and then went with Mahal going over to deprive viewers of Kingston vs. The match ending with more brawling between the four wrestlers felt like an uninspired copout finish. It didn’t help that the San Francisco crowd was light in numbers and less vocal as a typical WWE crowd. Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks: The chaotic pre-match brawl just didn’t click. Still, I like the selfie gimmick that Theory is doing and he’s off to a decent start.īecky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs. And I definitely could have done without the 24/7 silliness, which didn’t seem to serve a purpose aside from getting Reggie and his usual stalkers on the show. Hardy has taken so many losses that this actually would have been a good spot for Theory to go over clean given that Hardy will need to be rebooted when he moves to Smackdown anyway if the company has any plans for him. Jeff Hardy: A soft Hit for Theory getting a fairly forgettable win over Hardy in his re-debut match on Raw. He never looks overly vulnerable and continues to come across like one of the most dominant wrestlers in the company despite being limited in the ring.Īustin Theory vs. Nevertheless, WWE deserves credit for consistently protecting the monster status of Omos. AJ Styles and Omos feud feels like its overstayed its welcome and needs to wrap up at Crown Jewel. That said, the short length of the other tournament matches made Baszler’s win feel par for the course. It made sense for Baszler to make quick work of Brooke given that her character is suddenly being pushed as a truly dominant badass again for the first time since she was called up from NXT.
Dana Brooke in a Queen’s Crown first round match: The Queen’s Crown opening round tournament matches were all ridiculously short in length. There was no storyline between the two heading into the match, so Natalya’s aggressive slaps early on were effective in terms of commanding the audience’s attention and creating some friction between the two wrestlers. Natalya in a Queen’s Crown tournament first round match: At three minutes, this was actually the longest of the Queen’s Crown opening round matches. Rather than assume that everyone is watching his online shows, hopefully we’ll actually hear his character explain on Raw why the tournament means so much to him.ĭoudrop vs. Unfortunately, we haven’t really seen Woods talk about his long desire to win KOTR on WWE television unless you count him obnoxiously yelling “crown me” over and over again last week. Ricochet in a King of the Ring first round match: A solid KOTR match with Woods advancing to the semifinals of the tournament that he’s spoke of winning for many years now. On a side note, please tell me that WWE officials aren’t oblivious enough to have McIntyre carry that giant f’n sword to the ring in Saudi Arabia.
The addition of the Usos to the show gave Raw a fresh and unexpected main event. I still assume the match ends with a handshake and a hug, but it’s important to have that friction between the two characters going into their match. I’m all for adding some tension going into their match rather than have it be a friendly babyface encounter. Big E and Drew McIntyre in a non-title match: The babyface duo melting down heading into their WWE Championship match at Crown Jewel was well done. Smackdown Tag Team Champions Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso vs.
