Isenberg Reacts: WWE Raw “Sadly, Ashley From HR Steals the Show”

By Josh Isenberg

Raw’s Hot Garbage

wwe rawRandy Orton defeated Bo Dallas

All that I took out of this match is that they have NOTHING for Orton right now and that every casual wrestling fan loves Randy. He still garners a huge pop, albeit a simple squash match that has absolutely no meaning or relevance.

Luke Harper and Braun Strowman defeat The Prime Time Players

The tag team that competed for the titles less than 3 weeks ago lose in quick fashion to these monsters. Is it bad that they lost? No, but they should have at least gotten 6-8 minutes of work here. Why would you make your second most popular tag team lose so quickly and begin to lose what the have built since reuniting?

King Barrett returns and takes out Neville and Stardust

He is still a King. That sucks. Bad News Barrett was the gimmick that attached himself to the crowd and got his best reaction. Why would they avoid what worked so well for him in such a short time? I wish he does something meaningful, I just do not know where he can go right now.

Kevin Owens vs. Rusev

Raw made no sense putting Rusev and Kevin Owens together. I do not care if Owens walked out on Smackdown, this does not work. You need both heels to act as heels and not as guys looking to get a pop from the crowd. If you book Owens as a face, the crowd will not root for much less athletic and “Wrestler” like Ryback.
