Instant Reactions & Review Of RAW (July 3, 2017) RawView

It’s Monday Night July 3rd and guess what it’s the night before the return of John Cena. Tonight should be a very good night for Raw yet again. I expect a third straight week of good television and continuation of storylines going into this Sunday’s PPV. Raw has been very much can’t miss TV if you ask me since the superstar shakeup. I see we have a tease of Broken Matt Hardy making his debut tonight and I DON’T BUY IT for a second.

Makes no sense to bring him in yet also as I have said since they have returned Jeff Hardy will shine yet again in the WWE and Matt will be a solid midcarder. Don’t forget to go to IWNerd.com and enter our Great Balls Of Fire giveaway. Thanks to everyone for the support and the followers now its eight o’clock and that means…. MONDAY NIGHT RAW!

  • We open with a very good video package of Enzo/Cass and I thought it was really cool for them to have one last SAWFT moment.
  • I wonder how much these two will miss the T-Shirt money they have been scoring since coming to the main roster.
  • Enzo out here spitting flames like his name is Dylan.
  • Enzo attacks Big Cass backstage and THAT’S THE FIRE I’m looking for in this feud.
  • We go from Enzo Amore to The Boss Sasha Banks and her friend that is just happy that she is a wrestler because not sure if you’re aware but it was her childhood dream Bayley.
  • Looks like it’ll be Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss against the super duo tag team listed above. Fact is Nia Jax is a face and could be a very good one at that.
  • Nia takes out Bayley and it now becomes a handicap match.
  • I love how Sasha Banks is able to hook the bank statement from different reversals. This Sunday lookout for Sasha and Alexa to put on a VERY good match.
  • Braun Strowman approaches Kurt Angle backstage as Angle hangs up on his call after looking extremely concerned while on the phone.
  • We get a Lesner and Samoa Joe hype video and these get me hook line and sinker everytime I love Lesner in these things.
  • I stated this in my first article and I will say it again the one thing WWE gets right everytime are these video packages. FANTASTIC!
  • Cedric Alexander will be taking on Noam Darr with Alicia FOOOOOOOOOX.
  • Alicia FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX attempts a distraction and Cedric Alexander picks up the win.
  • Miz TV recap with the ball family recap and guess what hour nine was the highest rated hour for Raw last week.
  • Miz TV is up next with Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas and The Miz may have the best suit game of anyone on TV period.
  • Nobody makes the IC title feel like the most important title on whatever show he is on every week that is a win for the WWE.
  • Ambrose comes out to cut Ambrose like jokes that everyone laughs at because it’s Ambrose.
  • He says lets have the IC title rematch RIGHT HERE TONIGHT.
  • The father of the WWE is out to claim his shot at the IC title because he pinned The Miz in the ring on Raw. CONTINUITY!
  • Angle now comes out to settle everything and makes a one on one title match for Great Balls of Fire and a IC title match vs. Slater RIGHT NOW.
  • Slater is OVER! Heath’s got kids!
  • Ambrose with some good one liners on commentary thus far “Bo Dallas looks like the One Mang Gang going to a cocktail party” HA!
  • We are getting a title match on Raw that makes sense but that isn’t giving away a match before a PPV. Applause WWE.
  • This crowd is all in on this match and that’s really cool to see for a guy like Slater.
  • The Miz has ripped his pants during the match.
  • The IT kicks by The Miz to Slater and the crowd is still very HOT for this match.
  • This crowd and these two guys are making this out to be a PPV match on a Raw.
  • The Miz looking strong going into a PPV this is different and certainly a welcome’d changed to his character.
  • Looks like we have retro Goldust up next. I’m digging the cameraman gimmick with him.
  • Apollo crews is backstage smiling at his phone… He must not be looking at the same thing Kurt Angle is.
  • Titus O’Brand pitching Apollo Crews on why he should be murdered by Braun Strowman.
  • Goldust out to cut a promo before showing us his feature presentation on the Shattered Truth.
  • R-Truth shows up behind Goldust with a bucket of Popcorn watching the video and then attacks Goldust from behind.
  • Angle looking at his cell phone like he just downloaded a app on his phone that he doesn’t understand. Makes a thirty minute iron man tag match.
  • Cool older brother is up next and while I poke fun at Seth Rollins every week he is probably the second best all-around full time performer in the WWE right now.
  • Look like Rollins vs. Hawkins again tonight I wonder how this will fare for Mr. Curt Hawkins.
  • Seth Rollins makes quick work of Heath Slater… What do you think about Rollins new finisher? Comment your thoughts.
  • After the match Rollins cut a decent promo about not having to be saved by Wyatt.
  • Samoa Joe and Brock Lesner looks like the match of the century when you see these two guys side by side.
  • The best booked thing of wrestling all year has been Samoa Joe and Brock Lesner. Yes that includes things that happened over the western waters.
  • The Cruiserweight champion is out next and he is another guy that is currently killing it on TV every week.
  • Mustafa Ali and Neville going head to head tonight on Raw but if I don’t get a Tozawa flies higher than Great Balls of Fire type promo from Titus O’Brand I’ll be upset.
  • Everytime I see ALI in the ring I’m impressed he has the opportunity to do great things in the cruiserweight division.
  • THAT DDT WAS SICK!
  • Neville wins in a very entertaining cruiserweight match. LOOKOUT folks they may actually be onto something with the cruiserweights.
  • Uh… Bray Wyatt is in a desert and I’m not really sure why.
  • That beard and those dreads have to be very hot in the summertime in the desert.
  • This is another paint by numbers promo from Bray Wyatt which isn’t a bad thing as its always good but I feel like I’ve heard it before.
