WWE Raw Review 2/3/14

Note: I normally don't care much for IWC bullshit but in this case, I care. So there will not be any sign of CM Punk on tonight's WWE Raw show. I would believe that he is resting up for the PPV. However, as of now, there is no CM Punk match at Elimination Chamber PPV. So basically, WWE is going to ignore this and the fans will cheer for him. So basically this is going to be a good show without him or a shitty attempt to hide that he's gone. Here's WWE Raw...

Match#1: The Shield vs. Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston and Big E. Langston
Winners: The Shield
(Usually, matches like these are wastes of time. However, seeing that The Shield is in a match at the PPV, we got to see all three members do some damage. Also it is funny to accept the Shield could be turning face because of this match. This was a decent start but we all know that we could have gotten better competition for The Shield. )

Match#2: Christian vs. Jack Swagger
Winner: Christian
(This was just boring. I actually started making dinner because this was so clearly going to be a boring and dull match. I was right. Sorry guys but you don't have any charisma. Plus what made this so bad to watch was that we all know that in a couple weeks, these guys will be wrestling in the mid card or on Main Event. )

Match#3: New Age Outlaws vs. Cody Rhodes and Goldust - Steel Cage Match for the WWE Tag Team Titles
Winners: New Age Outlaws
(Best fucking match of the night. Why is that? Well it is sad that these four men have had better matches than most of the tag teams in WWE right now. I mean this is the perfect blend of old school and new school. I think this is one of WWE's better ideals since they aren't looking for smaller guys. So instead let's make tag teams relevant again. I will admit that seeing Cody go for the moosault was cool but I hope he did not break his arm doing it. This was a good match, and even though New Age Outlaws won, it could have been longer. )

Match#4: Titus O'Neal vs. Zack Ryder
Winner: Titus O'Neal
(I did not care that Titus is a heel. I did not care about seeing Zack Ryder on WWE Raw. This was a dumb match. I actually saw this match while vacumming my apartment. So I did not have to hear all the mess that JBL and Cole was talking about. This was so bad that I know this match will happen again on Main Event. Titus O'Neil is a winner but also a big dummy. )

Match#5: Sheamus vs. Curtis Axel 
Winner: Sheamus
(I will just say that this was more boring that the above match. Moving on...)

Match#6: Dolph Ziggler, R-Truth and Xavier Woods vs. The Wyatt Family
Winners: The Wyatt Family
(This was just as bad the opening match. I actually felt sorry for Ziggler because he is a showoff not a jobber. However, the banter between these groups are good because of the fact that these men finally will be showcased in a PPV not a pre-show. This was just to make a point. Same thing with The Shield match earlier. )

Match#7: Naomi vs. Aksana
Winner: Naomi
(This was when I forgot this show was PG for kids. All that ass and tits in and out of the ring was distracting. I was happy to see AJ Lee come out to do commentary but the real action was in the ring with Naomi basically shaking her ass. This match just proves that Naomi and Cameron aren't wrestlers. It was sad watching Aksana actually wrestle in this match. Also seeing that Alicia Fox was trying to make a save was sad and pathetic. AJ Lee saved this match but we need to see more divas matches. )

Main Event: Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton - Non Title Match
Winner: Daniel Bryan
(I will admit that I was shocked to see Daniel Bryan win this match. That's only because RKO was actually watchable. This was a good main event but would have been better if this was for the title. What was funny is that watching this match, I was expecting a shitty ending but the ending wasn't as bad as I would think. Seeing that RKO has to face all of his opponents for Elimination Chamber, it was fitting to see him face Daniel Bryan first. The ending was clean but seeing Kane come out before the end was creepy. Even though he won, Daniel Bryan still got beat up by Kane and RKO. So that's the end of the show. Time to end this review. )

Final Thoughts: Most of this show was filled with CM Punk chants and some good signs. WWE did try to distract people from not having to see CM Punk on WWE Raw. I am a fan of CM Punk and feel like he should be in the main event not in the mid card. Same with Daniel Bryan. We saw that Daniel Bryan was in the main event tonight but most nights he would be fighting in the mid card. I have said that WWE is stuck on the past. We got Batista back to be in the main event of Wrestlemaina XXX, New Age Outlaws as tag team champs, and his buddy Orton as champ. Aside from not seeing CM Punk, we also found out via the Internet that Cena is out for awhile. So WWE needs to change their plans for WM30. As for this show, it did not make me forget that there was no CM Punk tonight. This show did not make up for no CM Punk. The ending was good but predictable. Most of the show was boring or ok. The Tag Team Title Match was good but that couldn't replace CM Punk. So see you all for part two of TNA's Oversea Impact show.
