WWE Raw Review 5/5/14

Note: Well after the PPV last night, it is going to be interesting to see how this show goes. I don't pay attention to all the social media from WWE because it is more of a hassle to watch than to be somewhat objective when doing these reviews. Most of the time with WWE PPVs and the show after the PPVs, it could go either good or bad. We all know that WWE is going to milk The Shield and Evolution. Also we will see a confrontation with Kane and Daniel Bryan. So time to watch WWE Raw....

Match#1 - 20 Man Battle Royal for the WWE US Title
Dean Ambrose, Jack Swagger, Ryback, Custis Axel Santino Marella, Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Kofi Kingston, Fandango, Mark Henry, Big Show, Heath Slater, Damien Sandow, Sin Cara, Titus O'Neil, R-Truth, Zack Ryder, Xavier Woods and Sheamus
Winner: Sheamus - New US Champion
(Watching this match was like saying I need 19 guys to get some TV time and make this look good. Basically, that is what you got in this match. Even Zack Ryder was in this match and had some TV time. I found that ironic since he was a former US champion. Most of the others guys in this match just were on TV just to kill time. This was setup by Triple H because he lost to The Shield last night. This was actually smart because we needed to see a title change. Sheamus won but that is not the point. The point was to hurt Ambrose. He did in a sense. Moving on...)

Match#2: Rob Van Dam vs. Cesaro
Winner: RVD by DQ
(Normally, it is hard to say RVD is boring. He wasn't. Cesaro is getting boring at times. Heyman does not help. This match was slow and I was happy to see RVD won by DQ. I could not take another minute of this match. Moving on...)

Match#3: Cody Rhodes vs. Ryback
Winner: Ryback
(This was boring. This was just boring as fuck. This was setup because they had met earlier during the title battle royal. I don't want to waste time on this match but will say it is going to be interesting to see a feud with Cody and Goldust after WM. )

Match#4: Kofi Kingston vs. Rusev
Winner: Rusev
(I was going to making this comment short and sweet but I will just say my peace. This was a waste of time. Why? Rusev is a jobber killer. Lana was hot as fuck tonight. Kofi had no chance in hell to win this match. Now moving on....)

Match#5: Alberto Del Rio vs. Daniel Bryan - Non Title Match
Winner: Daniel Bryan
(Before Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella came out to the ring, they acted like Kane was the boogeyman. He is not the boogeyman. Stephanie McMahon did not help by scaring the shit out of the married couple. As for this match, it was good but then again, this is the countdown to when ADR is leaving WWE. The match did make me think that the title is not the main event because it was not the main event. As for Kane, well he scared Brie and then Daniel and his wife got away. Why is WWE trying to scare me?)

Match#6: Big E vs. Bad News Barrett - IC Title Match
Winner: Bad News Barrett
(I was expecting to have saw this match at the next PPV but I guess we will see someone new to face Barrett. This was almost like the match they had last night. However, this was more so exciting because we actually though that Big E could have won the title back. This was not bad but thank you WWE for making it more so interesting. Time to end the show...)

Main Event: The Wyatt Family vs. The Shield
Winners: The Wyatt Family
(Seeing this match again is good for me as a fan. I think it is funny seeing these guys feud because it means WWE is changing their ways of main events and factions. Plus this was a good setup for this match. Triple H is still punishing The Shield for beating him and his boys last night. Add the fact that Dean Ambrose lost the US title earlier and this makes a good main event. The match as a whole was good as the other matches. The key thing is that Evolution came out as the match was about to be over. Am I pissed that The Shield lost? Not really because this is setting up another match with these guys and maybe another match with The Wyatt Family. The end was typical but it was a good brawl. Time to end the review. )


Final Thoughts: I will admit that this was a very creep and weird show. I mean you got the Wyatt Family creeping us out. You got Kane chasing Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella. You got Triple H and his boys taking out The Shield. This was a weird show. Even seeing the premier of Adam Rose just scared me. Notice, there was no Divas, no Divas title, no tag team title match, and craziness. See you all for TNA Impact.
