Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-I\u2019ll take a Monday Night Raw opening like we got this week. Previewing the big matches and angles that are ahead later in the night and adding interviews gives a sense of meaning to the product. More of this, WWE.<\/p>\n<p>-A fine cage match to open the show. Can a match between Big E and Kevin Owens be bad? Not really. The key here is Big E. He continues to get put over strong and the result is a champion that is credible.<\/p>\n<p>-Good to see Lashley back. It means a fatal four-way for the WWE Championship at Day One \u2013 a move I\u2019d normally roll my eyes at, but one that makes sense given the rest of the singles matches on the card, including Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns. If there was ever a time to do this, it\u2019s now.<\/p>\n<p>-I just can\u2019t with the Zelina Vega queen stuff. It\u2019s beyond ridiculous at this point and isn\u2019t serving anyone in a positive way. I mean, remember the Zelina Vega with Andrade? How can you in good faith trade that act for this? In what world?<\/p>\n<p>-For better or worse, the Nikki A.S.H act is rooted in the \u201cwe\u2019ll get em next time\u201d attitude she openly ignored this week after her loss. The act was already poorly defined with a story and swimming against the only fabric of anything relevant to it is mind numbing.<\/p>\n<p>-We\u2019re on the road to Omos vs. A.J. Styles and you know what? Count me in. Omos isn\u2019t going to be a character that you strap the company to, but he\u2019s successfully accomplished what they\u2019ve asked and working opposite Styles will put him in a position to succeed as a top big man in the company.<\/p>\n<p>-How about that promo from Becky Lynch this week? A pros pro doing top star things is what that was. Lynch masterfully tied her heel narrative, Liv Morgan\u2019s journey, and the stakes of the Raw Women\u2019s Championship all into one. Plain and simple, she\u2019s one of the best doing it right now, which will hurt this attempt at heel heat in the long run.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2434524361\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Bianca Belair and Doudrop clearly had another gear or two to get to, but their match was smart. They\u2019re planting seeds and teasing Belair getting Doudrop up and down with the KOD. Based on the reaction to the tease, that will be a thing when it happens.<\/p>\n<p>-Vince McMahon and Austin Theory were at it again this week. Theory vs. Balor seems to be the next step as well. They may have something with this \u2026 but also; it\u2019s WWE, so maybe not.<\/p>\n<p>-The Miz vs. Edge feels like a genuine rivalry at this point after only two promos. Both guys wove real life material into the story and it made for an entertaining segment to setup their Day One match. This is a holding feud for both guys and like the inevitable fatal four-way match for the WWE Championship, now is the time to do this because the rest of the card is strong.<\/p>\n<p>-The RK-Bro-Nament? Woooo boy. I hate the name, but Orton and Riddle were good this week. The jackets were a nice touch and Orton leaning into the crowd to get him to put it on was a nice babyface touch that helped invest the audience into what they were doing.<\/p>\n<p>-Liv Morgan passed her test this week. It wasn\u2019t always crisp and perfect, but she kept up with Becky Lynch and that was a good chunk of the battle.<\/p>\n<p>-WWE booked the main event match correctly. Morgan needs more seasoning and her story to resonate deeper with the audience. This loss due to underhanded tactics helps in a major way. It\u2019s all in the follow-up. Morgan needs a clear promo highlighting the cheating next week and the company needs to continue to release vignettes detailing her story like the one this week concerning her father. It was really well done and assisted in defining her and making her look more likable than she already does.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/12\/06\/12-6-wwe-monday-night-raw-results-kellers-report-on-becky-lynch-defending-against-liv-morgan-big-e-vs-kevin-owens-in-a-cage-miz-tv-with-edge\/\">12\/6 WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW RESULTS: Keller\u2019s report on Becky Lynch defending against Liv Morgan, Big E vs. Kevin Owens in a cage Miz TV with Edge<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-273971756\"><div id=\"pwtor-3288887732\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This week\u2019s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw has wrapped.
