Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-It\u2019s strange to say because it took a while to get to where things are, but Seth Rollins has found this weird visionary character\u2019s voice. A few months ago, it was one note, but now he\u2019s finessing legacy and winning championships into the fabric of the gimmick, which gives the entire thing more credibility, thus making it feel more main event level.<\/p>\n<p>-Rollins vs. Finn Balor was a blast to start things off. The two of them worked at a tremendously fast pace, which showcased the skill of both. As a guy that will be soon be wrestling for the championship, it was smart to get Rollins the W.<\/p>\n<p>-The Rollins W came at the expense of Finn Balor, whose NXT heat has been doused with main roster cold water. Balor is way too talented not to have something impactful going on. It doesn\u2019t have to be championship stuff, but the guy in a personal mid-card program will give Raw depth each week from a storyline perspective.<\/p>\n<p>-Regardless of what he\u2019s being asked to do, Austin Theory on television with Vince McMahon is nothing but a positive sign for Theory and his future in WWE. I\u2019ve said it from the mountaintops that Theory is a guy that will resonate with McMahon and we started to see that show itself within their backstage segments this week. It\u2019s an oddball pairing to be sure, but McMahon and Theory had chemistry together and it made for comedic, but enjoyable material.<\/p>\n<p>-It\u2019s a low blow to mention the recent WWE talent cuts as part of promos on the show. Like, what the hell are we doing here?<\/p>\n<p>-Bravo, Liv Morgan. Morgan cut the promo of her career opposite Becky Lynch this week and looked like she belonged in the title match she has coming next week. This was a big step for her. Morgan has had trouble feeling the moment, leaning on playing a part rather than being her character. She flipped the script out there and it appeared that something clicked. Next week is big for her too, as she has to now deliver a main event level match with Lynch.<\/p>\n<p>-I\u2019m taking guesses. How many zeros will Randy Orton\u2019s check have this month for wearing the Riddle wig?<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2828373266\" 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>-I enjoyed the Edge and Miz microphone showdown, even if it did fall short of rivaling what Punk and MJF did last Wednesday night. Edge dropping the line about the recent releases was in bad taste to be sure, but it was fun to watch Edge work against a different opponent in Miz from the other\u2019s he\u2019s faced since making his return. You\u2019re looking at a WWE Day One match with this and is an effective road to travel to get Edge firmly on the winning side of things again.<\/p>\n<p>-Another win for Damian Priest as U.S. Champion. The guy is getting the Bobby Lashley as U.S. Champion treatment and being significantly protected and positioned. My guess is he\u2019s in line for a full heel turn and showdown with Big E for the WWE Championship.<\/p>\n<p>-Speaking of Bobby Lashley, man, WWE ran a stellar vignette on him this week. It was of course well produced, but it told a layered Lashley story and framed him as someone to root for. I smell a babyface turn.<\/p>\n<p>-Given the story that\u2019s been told between Rollins, Big E, and Kevin Owens, a triple threat between them for the championship makes sense. They each are playing different roles with Rollins the open heel, Big E the babyface, and Owens in the middle. That\u2019s and effective mix so far, but with a few weeks left to go, it will be interesting to see how WWE stretches this and makes it more and more intriguing week to week instead of less.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/11\/29\/11-29-wwe-monday-night-raw-report-hazelwoods-live-alt-perspective-on-edges-return-big-e-vs-kevin-owens-seth-rollins-vs-finn-balor-tag-team-championship-match-more\/\">11\/29 WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW REPORT: Hazelwood\u2019s live alt-perspective on Edge\u2019s return, Big E vs. Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor, Tag Team Championship match, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2134795365\"><div id=\"pwtor-2250177939\"><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.
