Rolling Stone WWE RAW Review
Rolling Stone’s Kenny Herzog is back again with the latest WWE RAW Review, reviewing last night’s episode of WWE Monday Night RAW. You can read a few excerpts below; click here to read the full review:
It’s the Summer of Summer
Ahem, that’s “Hot Summer” to you. Nor is the above statement really accurate. But let’s face it: Amid this disastrous non-feud between Rusev/Summer Rae and Dolph Ziggler/Lana, the real winner is Summer. Neither Rusev nor Ziggler’s had much to do while the latter’s been out shooting a film, and Lana already had juice. But for Summer, who’s effectively been ostracized from both Total Divas and the “Divas Revolution” (should I insert a tiny ™ there?), getting to show up every week, get into character and beat the holy hell out of her female adversary is as meaty a role as she’s had since sashaying with Fandago. In fact, she’s suddenly more relevant than her former dance partner. Plus, turns out she has an evil cackle to rival Seth Rollins’.Cesaro: Now or Never
The amiable Swiss sensation will never be hotter than this. He’s quite literally found his voice cutting promos as a witty, principled babyface; the Cesaro Section (contrived or no) has virtually elevated him from cult status to must-book main-eventer; and even though it didn’t seem possible, his ability in the ring only sharpens, a testament to the work ethic fans have always appreciated about him. It’s amazing how far he’s come in both persona and presentation since the days of marching stoically to ringside with Aksana, let alone piggybacking off Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger’s zealotry shtick or rebounding from an ill-executed alliance with Paul Heyman. But, word of caution: There may never be a moment where everything lines up just so for Cesaro like this again, so hopefully he stays healthy and WWE continues to rely on his dependability as others hit the shelf. Although, worst case, we get Kidd and Cesaro 2.0 this time next year. Huzzah!
