Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly WWE RAW hits and misses series.
WWE aired a pre-taped episode of RAW last night on the USA Network. The show was taped on November 11 at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI.
Here’s what went on the November 11 episode of Monday Night RAW.
Hit – Rhea Ripley makes her return on WWE RAW
Rhea Ripley’s return was spoiled in the lead-up to last night’s episode. Still, the crowd popped big time for Mami’s surprise appearance. Rhea was last seen on the October 29 episode of NXT prior to RAW when she was attacked in the parking lot by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. WWE referenced her orbital bone injury on the new merchandise they just dropped for Mami.
Miss – Another loss for American Made
American Made took another L on WWE RAW. This losing streak has me convinced Triple H has turned them into a jobber group. Gable fell to a 619 from Rey Mysterio. The in-ring action was solid. American Made shook off the loss by slapping each other.
Hit – Bron Breakker vs. Sheamus
This was another banger featuring Bron Breakker and Sheamus. This was a hard-hitting match with some believable nearfalls. Sheamus losing via DQ has me hoping he’d win the Intercontinental Champion before he retires. Kaiser’s run-in was great and may have planted seeds for a triple threat down the line.
Miss – War Raiders vs. Judgment Day on WWE RAW
This was standard tag team wrestling stuff. There was no way Dominik and Carlito were beating Erik and Ivar. The Raiders were left lying on the match after the post-match beatdown at the hands of The Judgment Day.
Hit – Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed
Bronson Reed tied the score after defeating Seth Rollins in a fun main event. Both men delivered a good TV match. Solo Sikoa’s interference allowed Reed to pick up the win. Rollins couldn’t keep up his promise and he may have no choice but to join Team Roman Reigns for the Bloodline versus Bloodline match at WarGames.
