Came in while Main Event was finishing with a Crusierweight match with Noam Dar beating Gran Metalik in a good match
Nothing to write home about, bit of a house show.
Kurt was not on the tour so immediately the story for the show was he called Dean Ambrose in and made him interim GM for RAW tonight
And then as Dean is out telling the crowd to open up, Miz and Maryse come in and say Stephanie called in and asked him to be GM
So now Dean and Miz are co GMs for the show tonight
Braun comes out next and he's got his arm in a sling. I guess he hurt it last week?
Kalisto comes out and challenges Braun and Braun dismisses him but Dean figures he can fight him with one arm.
Miz objects and reminds Dean he'll face Bray tonight, but Dean reminds Miz he's got a match against Balor. Finn comes out and fights Miz. Balor is pretty good live and his kicks and chops look pretty good live. Bullshyt finish as Miz pushes Finn and the ref into Maryse and she's knocked out. He then grabs the mic and says as GM he demands the ref DQ Finn for knocking down a woman. As he walks off the winner, Dean comes back and orders the match restart and Finn wins the match
Mickie James with Bayley in her corner faces Alexa with Nia in her corner. Nia in a backstage segment basically became Alexa's Heater. Alexa beat Mickie and as she and Bayley brawled to the back, Nia squashed Mickie.
Tag Team Turmoil match for the number 1 contender ship. Seamus and Cesaro ran through Enzo and Cass, Heath and Rhyno, The Club and R Truth and Goldust to become number 1 contenders. Hardyz come out and have a stare down and slight brawl. Light delete chants by Matt, the usual.
Braun faced Kalisto. Roman comes out taped up and faces Braun and I guess the Kalisto match is a no contest. Roman gets in and Superman punches Braun and beats him outside with a chair. This was probably the biggest reaction as Roman got tons of boos followed by a few cheers mixed against the boos. Positive or Negative, easily the biggest reaction of the night. Roman stood tall at the end and Braun went to the back all woozy
Samoa Joe is interviewed backstage and Seth attacks him. They have a match tonight
The breaks between matches are quite a lot and a lot of changes to the ring unnecessarily, even when its not a Cruiserweight match
Seth vs Joe, ends in DQ when Joe hits Seth twice on the exposed turnbuckle and puts him the cocina clutch after the bell. Good ass match before, Seth had some great spots.
Neville came to watch Gallagher vs TJ. Comes to the ring after TJ defeated Jack for the beatdown, Austin Aires comes out from the crowd for the save.
Sasha beat Alicia Fox in a 4 minute nothing match. Someone brought a beachball. Security did the right thing and got rid of it. People were doing the usual dumb shyt you'd expect in women's matches from 4 years ago
Miz came out to watch Bray vs Dean. Interfered and distracted Dean for Bray to get the win (non title fight). Came in and delivered the skull crushing finale and left Miz in the ring as they went off the air.
After taping, Dean got up and called Miz out for a match. They brawled into the crowd. Dean hit Miz with the belt and then said as GM of Raw he declared himself losing by DQ but still the champ and then came back in to deliver 2 dirty deeds to keep the crowd happy.
Not much to write about, even crowd seemed mild for a UK crowd compared to usual. But a few chants down in the lower and ringside section. shyt was packed to the brim though.
Hopefully Smackdown is better AJ, KO and Nakamura
I think I would have enjoyed a Raw house show more .
I've never heard anyone use that word in my life. What time are you from, breh?
