WWE Raw Review 8/26/13

Note: Last week was not a good week to watch wrestling. In my opinion, it was not good to watch or try to deal with the long term deal with both companies. So this is a new week of what should be better TV for wrestling fans. Also what kills me is that a lot of wrestling sites are doing reviews about the divas show on E! Well if you want to waste your time doing that, that's on you. However, seeing that I write from a fan's perspective and also don't care about seeing Bella twins fake through the show, fuck that shit. Here's WWE Raw...........

Match#1: Cody Rhodes vs. Fandango
Winner: Cody Rhodes with an assist to Miz
(I watched this match with serious thoughts. I was happy to see Cody be the new face of young talent. He is going to be a champion soon. I still hate Fandango because his gimmick is played out with people like me. This would have been a better match if there was something on the line. The ending was predictable because Sandow was at ringside and Miz comes to distract Fandango. No Teddy Long but Brad Maddox does do his best to make up a tag match after this mess.)

Match#2: Cody Rhodes and Miz vs. Fandango and Damien Sandow
Winners: Cody Rhodes and Miz
(So why was this setup? To further the bullshit storyline with Fandango and Miz with the storyline of Cody and Sandow. So I guess it was also to fill some time because it was nothing else that could be booked. This was not a good tag match but it did serve the purpose of entertaining the crowd. Moving on........)

Match#3: CM Punk vs. Curtis Axel - Raw Interactive Match
Winner: CM Punk
(So the people voted that if CM Punk won that Paul Heyman was suppose to get in the ring. The match was good. This was not a match where CM Punk had to carry the whole thing. Curtis Axel is a good talent. He is better than his father. Hopefully he will be a champion soon. After the match, Paul ran but was brought back into the ring. CM Punk was about to get his revenge but it was a setup by Axel and Heyman. Good ending and good after match action. )

Match#4: Natalya vs. Brie Bella - Total Divas Match
Winner: Brie Bella
(THIS WAS THE WORST FUCKING MATCH EVER SEEN ON WWE RAW!??!?!?!??!!?!?!?!? We all know that Nattie can wrestle and Brie can't. This should have been a quick win for Nattie. However, this because a fucking clusterfuck with women. I never was so disgusted with seeing WWE put of these matches. However, thank you AJ Lee for the best fucking promo ever by a woman in WWE. This was better than seeing Alundra Blaze/Medusa dump the WWF Women's Title on WCW Nitro. AJ Lee basically made all the women that was in the ring feel like shit. She basically dropped a pipebomb. I think it is sad that the best women in WWE aren't on the show. No AJ, No Kaitlyn, no Lillian, and definitely no new talent. Bellas are the sluts of the WWE. Thank you AJ Lee for doing this.)

Match#5: Rob Van Dam vs. Alberto Del Rio
Winner: Rob Van Dam - Will Face ADR at NOC PPV
(So I want to take this time to explain something about how I feel about RVD. First of all, this match was the match to show how RVD has not changed in years. ECW, WWE, and TNA.....He's been in all three. No changes since 1996. I don't hate RVD. I just find it funny as fuck that he has not changed but TNA could not use him right but WWE basically made him into something relevant in less time than TNA. So with that said, this was his best match of WWE in a while. Why? Simply because he had to carry this match with ADR. ADR can wrestle but as a heel, he is stiff and slow. This was not the best match tonight but it served the purpose of RVD being the setup to being the WHC. Hopefully this is not a setup but reality.)

Match#6: Christian vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Randy Orton
(I want to be happy to see this match. I wasn't happy. I guess I was more bored plus seeing this match via the WWE App during commercials made me more bored to see this match. Moving on. )

Match#7: Titus O'Neal vs. Jack Swagger
Winner: Titus O'Neal
(This was a 4/10 match. Nothing more or less. )

Main Event: Daniel Bryan vs. The Shield - Gauntlet Match
Winner: Daniel Bryan by DQ
(The way I saw this whole match it was like Daniel Bryan was the winner but after beating Seth Rollins clean, The Shield basically did what Triple H and RKO wanted to do: Take him out. Now I did not care if Big Show wanted to save Bryan. I saw this match as a way for the storyline to continue. I have no problem with the storyline but this did get too long. So in my eyes, Bryan lost the battle but the war is not over. )

Final Thoughts: Well this was a show with two main high points - Daniel Bryan in the main event and AJ Lee going HAM on the cast of Total Divas. CM Punk did have some good spots and is the other high point of the show. However, this was a so so show and hopefully next week is better. Also because football is coming back soon, the WWE needs to fight the NFL for rantings. See you all for TNA and hopefully I can remember what's going on with TNA.
