Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-Brock Lesnar continues to be an absolute blast as a babyface. He\u2019s walked the line of being too silly in this role, but this week he stepped back and was able to show his personality and his destructive intimidation. The line to Paul Heyman on \u201cgetting a step closer\u201d was the perfect way to strike a balance.<\/p>\n<p>-Paul Heyman, take a bow. Heyman played the part of scared, but heelish foil for Lesnar well and was obnoxious in trying to take credit for Lesnar\u2019s current success. They\u2019ve got six weeks until WrestleMania and Heyman\u2019s work moving forward is paramount to getting Lesnar vs. Reigns as hot as it can be.<\/p>\n<p>-Alpha Academy has shined on the microphone with the various skits and vignettes they\u2019ve been asked to do. Their in-ring work has been stellar too and has given credibility to what is a comedic act at the core. When they drop the tag team belts, it will matter.<\/p>\n<p>-Tommaso Ciampa looked like he belonged on Monday Night Raw. Shocking, I know. This may be a one off due to his match with Dolph Ziggler this week on NXT, but it shouldn\u2019t be. Ciampa is not going to be \u201cthe guy\u201d on Raw, but he certainly fits in the Finn Balor spot on the roster perfectly. With nothing left to do in NXT, using him on the main roster at worst gets WWE some much-needed fresh matchups.<\/p>\n<p>-Logan Paul. We\u2019re doing this again? Whatever. As long as this match is low on the card and not positioned as something more than it is, whatever. Paul has value, but it revolves around people wanting to see him get knocked out. That doesn\u2019t play in WWE\u2019s world outside of potential mainstream social media buzz.<\/p>\n<p>-It\u2019s sad to say, but after last week\u2019s gauntlet match and Elimination Chamber, Rhea Ripley is as hot and legitimate as ever. A mid-card WrestleMania program is a logical next step. No, not against Nikki A.S.H, but how about Doudrop, Carmella, or a cross promotion bout with Sasha Banks? The latter would be a big boost.<\/p>\n<p>-It\u2019s shameful what the character tweak did to Damian Priest. He wasn\u2019t a main event act before, but he was something. The act feels lost now as it teeters back and forth between heel and babyface. The audience knew how to feel about him before and now they have no clue.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3060617153\" 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 Becky Lynch delivered a smooth and effective promo together to reignite their feud for WrestleMania. Both women set the table nicely and wove into it the events from Summerslam. This will be an exciting watch for six weeks.<\/p>\n<p>-Belair and Doudrop brought the house down. Match of the night without question. The mission clearly was getting Belair over strong and showcasing her. They accomplished that feat. Though she took the L, these types of performances from Doudrop will stand out among WWE officials and help her push long term.<\/p>\n<p>-Edge was a master on the mic this week. His promo not only sold the big stage of WrestleMania and it\u2019s meaning, but it sold his match too \u2013 whatever that ends up being. WWE isn\u2019t subtle, so Edge saying \u201cPhenomenal\u201d is a pretty clear indication we\u2019re getting Edge vs. A.J. Styles.<\/p>\n<p>-I liked the main event quite a bit. Good action, but also nice to see they are working to actually build up the tag team title match in a couple weeks. Yep, that was pig flying overhead\u2026<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/02\/17\/heydorns-dynamite-receipt-2-16-adam-cole-finds-his-main-event-voice-in-square-off-with-adam-page\/\">HEYDORN\u2019S DYNAMITE RECEIPT 2\/16: Adam Cole finds his main event voice in square off with Adam Page<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1860251365\"><div id=\"pwtor-2987543551\"><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.
