I know she\u2019s from that area, so I get the appearance, but I wasn\u2019t impressed with her on the NXT hosting job she did, I was even less impressed tonight. You can be a great singer\/rapper, but that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re always great on a mic. The only positive was that it was short.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Promo Heavy Opening: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Primarily, this Hit for this being the first time I remember multiple Faces being interrupted by other Faces. Jey Uso didn\u2019t speak, but the annoyance on Rollins face when his song was interrupted by Jey\u2019s appearance was fun. I liked the selling by Punk in not hobbling down to the ring and Rollins shouldering past him disrespectfully.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jey Uso vs. Xavier Woods: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Good match as should be expected between these two. An obvious outcome, but I think it was more about the post-match sequences with Bron Breakker. This will lead to more friction with Woods and Kingston, but I think it\u2019s time to pull the trigger on a Woods heel turn. I love long-term storytelling, but sometimes it goes on so long without a major payoff that you can become disinterested (I\u2019m on that cusp).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rhea Ripley promo: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Man, Rhea does just about everything right! I loved the energy and delivery of that promo. A side feud with Raquel Rodriguez could be a fun distraction before Rhea goes back after Morgan. Nice to see Raquel back after the health issue she was going through. She\u2019s looking great. Plus, I always felt she made a much better heel than when she was Smiley Raquel.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1673840424\" 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<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show covering the latest episode of Raw: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/wwe-raw-post-show-10-7-keller-maitland-talk-gunther-sami-punk-promo-on-site-report-with-raw-spoilers-plus-presidential-politics-talk--62280406\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cwade Keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=62280406&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>The Kevin Owens-Cody Rhodes &#8220;incident&#8221;: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I like the approach on this. \u2018Fan footage\u2019 showing Owens punching Rhodes being \u2018internally investigated\u2019 is a fun way to do an angle like this differently. The announcers being told they can\u2019t talk about it, makes this viewer was to know more about it, rather than if it was just played on repeat every hour reminding us it happened. Just a unique handling of an upcoming angle. I like it a lot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sheamus vs. Pete Dunne: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Man, this was a blast! I\u2019m continually amazed that at 46 years old, Sheamus continues to perform at a stellar level (when I was 46, I threw out my back tying my shoes\u2026). Both guys wore the scars and wounds from that hard-hitting affair. Just a lot of fun watching these two guys go at it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gunther vs. Sami Zayn: Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another stellar match between these two: they work so well together. I\u2019m usually not a fan of down and out guys kicking out at one, but Sami and Gunther\u2019s facial expressions and the crowd reaction made this acceptable to me. Zayn lost nothing by not winning, in fact I think he comes out of this stronger looking than going in. Gunther makes an even better champion when he shows a little vulnerability like he did at times tonight.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay right here and keep the flow going.
