Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-Riddle once again showed range and a credible fire for his character this week. So important. When he achieves the right balance with goofy Riddle and serious Riddle, you can see the centerpiece babyface act in a major way.<\/p>\n<p>-Speaking of Riddle, WWE did a really nice job hyping the Riddle vs. Reigns Undisputed Universal Championship match on Friday night. Heyman, The Miz, and Riddle all played their role in driving that and it likely will draw a strong number.<\/p>\n<p>-And how about Paul Heyman? He\u2019s so good at helping accentuate the personalities he\u2019s working with and did so this week with Riddle. Excellent stuff. Just a master at his craft.<\/p>\n<p>-Montez Ford vs. Jimmy Uso was a good match. The Street Profits are excellent opponents for The Usos right now and the chemistry these two showed is a big reason why.<\/p>\n<p>-Another stellar sizzle video for the Seth Rollins and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/06\/10\/brandi-rhodes-provides-cody-surgery-update\/\">Cody Rhodes<\/a> stuff. Prominent featuring of Rhodes and a piece of work that made Rollins look as sinister as ever on WWE Raw.<\/p>\n<p>-A paint by numbers Seth Rollins interview after last week\u2019s Cody attack. He hit the right notes, but left things alone after that. Rollins beat A.J. Styles in a very good Money in the Bank qualifying match. Rollins around that briefcase makes this year\u2019s match intriguing given his history with it, connection to Reigns, and what they may want Cody to do once he\u2019s able to return.<\/p>\n<p>-Poor Dana Brooke. Right? I mean she gets the big win last week an- ahh. Even I can sell that. Brooke\u2019s win last week shouldn\u2019t have ever taken place, so this week\u2019s complete massacre by Becky Lynch was a good way to reestablish Lynch\u2019s dominance.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3382421767\" 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>-The Lynch downward spiral story continues and after a bad chapter last week, it\u2019s back on track once again. Her look this week was extra on point and conveyed unhinged really successfully.<\/p>\n<p>-Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan are in the women\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/06\/09\/roman-reigns-not-working-money-in-the-bank-update-on-next-title-defense\/\">Money in the Bank<\/a> ladder match? No surprise there as the match needed babyfaces. Now they have some, though, neither seem in line to win it at this point in time.<\/p>\n<p>-It was me! I called Ezekiel getting the win back over Kevin Owens. Yay me! Or my fault, I guess. This was what it was. Elias returning? I mean call me intrigued in terms of how they\u2019ll do this, but still searching to find a reasonable endgame. Also, Zeke\u2019s Freaks? No. Please, now.<\/p>\n<p>-With Bobby Lashley having moved on to Theory, Omos and MVP are left behind in the dust and a lost. Yeah, MVP took out Cedric Alexander this week on the show, but honestly, what is the value in doing that at this point. Tough times ahead for the Omos act.<\/p>\n<p>-Bianca Belair checked the boxes in her interview segment on all things Rhea Ripley, but we need to see a little more personality and character there. Did she say the right things? Yes. That\u2019s not the full picture, though. The words need to create an investment for the fans to latch on with and Belair\u2019s haven\u2019t in quite some time.<\/p>\n<p>-Good follow-up on the Judgement Day pivot from last week. The group articulated why they did what they did and also established what the new iteration would be. This squad needs suitable opponents and it\u2019s not easy to see who they would be at this point given the lack of depth on the Raw roster.<\/p>\n<p>-Is the main event of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwe.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WWE<\/a> Raw going to happen at some point? Wait, what? It did? It was the pose down segment? That\u2019s it? Just not a good show closing segment. Nobody uses baby oil anymore and even if you take the segment at face value as something that can help a story, this didn\u2019t. Theory is no hotter as a heel than when he started this week. A miss and not the type of material you want to become synonymous with your Raw main events.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/06\/11\/wwe-smackdown-receipt-2\/\">HEYDORN\u2019S SMACKDOWN RECEIPT 6\/10: Riddle momentum should lead to good business with Reigns<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2392595050\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1305796643\"><div id=\"pwtor-494402338\"><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\u00a0WWE Monday Night Raw\u00a0has wrapped.
