Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-I\u2019m really enjoying the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/1513731323525050368\">Cody Rhodes<\/a> presentation on Raw so far. He comes across as a fresh, fresh star and the WWE desperately needed that. How long will it last? That\u2019s the question.<\/p>\n<p>-I\u2019ll answer that question. It won\u2019t last as long as WWE wants if they continue down the meta road of wrestler vs. superstar, fans vs. WWE Universe, etc. There is proof of concept in that strategy not working with him. They need to be careful. There is a certain arrogance behind talk like that and we\u2019ve seen it derail Cody\u2019s momentum before.<\/p>\n<p>-A pat on the back to The Miz. He just plays \u201cWWE corporate guy\u201d so damn well and it balanced the Cody stuff out nicely.<\/p>\n<p>-It\u2019s telling that Veer is already a one-note character. In the lead up to his debut and the months of anticipation behind it, the fact that Veer lacks depth is unfortunate because there was intrigue around him. It\u2019s really gone now. Maybe not forever, but the act seemingly already has a ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>-Ok, what the heck was that stuff with Damian Priest? Like, seriously. Pardon my language, but WTF?! So, the lights go out. Ok, how? Why? Then they go to commercial and the match is over? Why? How? This was nonsense on an epic level and really unacceptable from a national wrestling promotion on primetime television.<\/p>\n<p>-A good match between Miz and Cody after the hook they set to start the show. Seth Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes 2 is on deck. No surprise there. A vicious Rollins attack is on the horizon sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>-Liv Morgan beating Sasha Banks on Friday and losing to Naomi in three minutes this week on Raw is the perfect microcosm of what\u2019s wrong with the booking in the women\u2019s tag division. Inconsistent would be a nice way to put it.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1478284201\" 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>-Austin Theory is now simply \u201cTheory.\u201d That\u2019s just not good. However, it\u2019s not the end of the world either. Most importantly, Theory needs to deliver next week against Finn Balor. He\u2019s getting the United States Championship and needs to show some credibility and seriousness as he does.<\/p>\n<p>-I\u2019m fine with Sonya Deville as Bianca Belair\u2019s next championship opponent. It\u2019s certainly a little illogical, but Deville should be able to get some nice heat and Belair will look strong after a clean, definitive win.<\/p>\n<p>-We\u2019ve seen RK-Bro vs. Alpha Academy too many times. A match that was once fresh is now stale. Typical, WWE. Typical, typical. The match was fine \u2013 good even. Just too much between the two teams.<\/p>\n<p>-The Usos stare down with RK-Bro generated some buzz in the audience that you just don\u2019t hear often with tag team wrestling in the WWE. A championship unification bout between both teams will matter and should do some good business for WWE. I\u2019d think about putting the match on television to draw a number and then do the rematch on a PLE.<\/p>\n<p>-The Street Profits are lost in the tag team shuffle right now and have become muddied as far as their characters go. Look, this is a babyface team. Period. They shouldn\u2019t be getting RKO\u2019d by Randy Orton to end an episode of Raw. It\u2019s counterproductive to both teams\u2019 ability to generate babyface reactions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/04\/10\/heydorns-take-wwe-shows-off-business-tone-and-temperament-with-wrestlemania-38\/\">HEYDORN\u2019S TAKE: WWE shows off business tone and temperament with WrestleMania 38<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2502536565\"><div id=\"pwtor-4275554284\"><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.
