Isenberg Reacts: WWE Raw “Returns and Roman’s Royal Rumble”

The Best of Becky Lynch

wwe rawBecky Lynch took on friend, somewhat, Charlotte on Raw with her father in her corner again. Becky and Charlotte put on a great bout, with an emphasis on technicality and intelligence. They showed how well they knew each other with reversals and always trying to “one-up” the other. Becky hit a nice T-Bone suplex to really take control, followed by a splash off the ropes. Becky misses a boot and Charlotte hits a few offensive moves. As Becky runs to the corner, Ric grabs her foot. Charlotte tries to roll her up, but Becky reverses it and picks up the win. After the match, Charlotte attacked Becky and laid her out.

Okay, the full turn happened. Was it so damning like I wanted? No. I will say that Becky and Charlotte put on a really good match and this is the best overall character inside and outside of the ring that we have seen from Lynch since her call to the main roster. At the end of the match and brawl, you can tell WWE wants Charlotte to be the full-fledged heel heading into WrestleMania season. They expect her to get booed because of her pedigree, even if daddy is there. I do not see Ric staying with her until April. I could be wrong, but there needs to be a split where she goes out on her own.

Thank You, Wyatt Family

As we moaned and groaned hearing about Ryback vs. The Big Show, all of the fans were going to complain and rightfully so. Thankfully, this was not a dud of a match or segment. Thank you, Wyatt Family. Bray and his members came out and laid out Ryback. They would set their sights on Big Show, attacking him and leaving him laying on the mat.

This is what I want. I want Wyatt’s to run through competition, not having anyone else but themselves to worry about. Heel or face should be in danger each week, looking behind their shoulder. Wyatt Family needs to win a big match, though. They are the Bengals of the WWE. Really good for most of the year until it comes to crunch time. Then, they fall off. This was a good start. It could be greater.
