Season Premiere of the Fiend
Harley, I mean Alexa Bliss welcomes the Fiend, the Fiend has his first entrance on the Flagship. Retribution try to attack the Fiend but the Hurt Business show up instead and the Fiend takes them out. The two factions then have a match where we get to see Ali do some good in ring work as a heel for the first time. The Fiend appears on the big screen and Retribution lose their match against the Hurt Business then the Fiend goes after Retribution.
AJ vs Riddle
AJ Styles has a new heavy and it looks like a match made in heaven. The door man from RAW Underground is now backing up Styles. Riddle loses the match when Styles’ body guard intimidates Riddle, distracting him just long enough for AJ to capitalize on it.
Asuka [c] vs Lana
The gas went as we expected, Lana had a competitive squash. Nia and Shayna attack them after the match and shit hits the fan.
Tag team turmoil
Dana and Mandy, Lacey and Peyton have some miscommunication, the Riot squad get one last crack at the titles in their farewell match on RAW.
The match had some hits and misses but was good for what it was, overall. That’s how you set up back to backs multi person dive spot, show companies how it’s done! Shayna and Nia make a good team, continuing to look unstoppable.
Elias in concert
Universal truth is a good name for an album and the truth is Elias ain’t half bad. I’m really surprised they let Elias sing an entire song, that quite the segment. Jeff Hardy steals the show and Elais challenges him to a match at Hell in a Cell.
New Day, same clowns
Sheamus vs Kofi
New Day needs to do something new and I don’t know how many times I’m gonna have to say it. Sheamus rests a loss which I believe is a very bad idea because the heels need to stay strong, they are the heavy favorites, not the underdogs.
Big E celebrated in the ThunderDome, I like the special appearances in the audience.
Otis will be Otis
Otis pretends to be a masked lucha and Miz cuts a promo that cuts Otis deep. Miz basically says the same day about Otis that I do about New Day. The promo was great, the jokes were great, this segment was great, a must watch segment
Keith Lee vs Braun Strowman
Not sure I like the ending or the match but I do like that it’s not over so we get to see what else these guys can come with.
Honorable mentions
Titus gets hurt by the Hurt Business
Drew backstage interview, great promo.
The Viper sends a message.
Final take
New beginning for a new season, the new theme song and opening are great. I’m looking forward to where all stories go from here, they have a bit of work to do with the reshuffling of the roster.
