Raw Review

This weeks Raw was the post Great Balls Of Fire show. Post PPV shows are always under pressure to do well as a good show will mean more people will tune in for the PPV!

The night started with Enzo coming out and delivering an emotional promo which was actually very good and he made it seem very real! If he keeps up this up he could definitely do fairly well as a solo competitor, let’s not forget that if Rey could do it than Enzo definitely can as long as he gets booked well!

The Miz TV segment was a lot better this week compared to last weeks. During it, it was announced that Ambrose will take on Miz at GBOF and that Heath Slater would take on Miz later in the night. This was after both men interrupted The Miz. Slater and Miz had a great match with a classic Miz screw finish with Bo and Axel attacking Rhyno distracting Slater. Slater definitely does deserve to have a full title rivalry again soon though!

Lesnar and Joe has a split screen interview to promote their match at GBOF. These segments are normally boring and look just blatantly fake (I know they are but they are meant to look real). However this one was great and they talked over each other a lot and made it seem so real. I’m really hyped to see this match on Sunday.

In the main event we saw Strowman beat the living soul out of Apollo Crews. This didn’t make Strowman look strong but did make Crews look weak, completely pointless match! However after the match Roman attacked Braun and speared him off the stage.

This weeks Raw was alright however I would have preferred the Post PPV show to be a little better.

SDLive Review

This weeks SDLive was a July 4th special! John Cena was scheduled to be on the show as well as a United States Championship No.1 contender battle royal. So it seemed like it was going to be a great show!

The night started with the return John Cena who gave a promo about the history of the US and how great the country is. The promo was alright but he has said the things a million times before but as it was July 4th it was understandable about why he said it. Rusev then interrupted and gave one of his classic signature promos about how bad he thinks the USA is. It was later announced that at Battleground we will see a flag match with Rusev facing Cena. I wouldn’t mind seeing this rivalry again as long as it only lasts one PPV!

Later in the night we saw The New Day rap battle The Usos hosted by rap star Wale! During the segment The Usos said ‘Big E lets keep it PG unlike your boy Xavier Woods!’ Referencing the leaked Paige and Woods sex tape earlier in the year. The crowd was crazy after this although somehow the Usos still loses the battle. It’s worth noting that the reference was taken out of the YouTube video.

The night ended with the battle royal which was fairly entertaining and my main man Tye Dillinger got into the last three before AJ eliminated Sami to win and to earn his rematch against Owens at Battleground!

This weeks SDLive was the best one in weeks! Very entertaining show with a great crowd as well!
