Thoughts: I wasn't a fan of it overall. I didn't like the spot where they each did canadian destroyers. I liked them getting fiery with each other though and showing some spirit. I also thought it went a little too long. I honestly was a little surprised Kaito beat Endo with the way he's been booked lately.

Overall thoughts: Harutoki/Marufuji or Kenta/Ulka were the best matches here. Kaito/Endo got close to being a match I liked but they blew it. Jack/Galeno was going well but then they went to a double countout. Ricky Knight had another indy style match and Daga/Soya was average. I would give it a slight 6 out of 10 but I would only say it was above average.

Izzi interrupts and disagrees. She says it's been a long 4 years and Tatum earned the title. She says she came up short every time she tried to win the title and says she needs to make people earn title shots like she had to earn them. Tatum says no. Tatum says she will spin the "Spin The Wheel, Make the Deal" wheel and whoever it lands on is who gets a shot tonight.

They go to the wheel. Izzi's name isn't on it and Shawn brings it up. Tatum spins the wheel and it lands on Lola Vice. Tatum says she will face her tonight.

Thoughts: I was glad KG won here as she's Evolve champ and shouldn't have lost this. I didn't think it was great but Lash had one of her betting showings and both girls were working hard here.

KG holds up the NQCC handsign with Wren Sinclair after.

Myles Borne does an instagram video. He says it can only be him or Tavion. He says no matter what happens, Tav will be his buddy. He tells him to be ready to do whatever it takes as he will.

Thoughts: It was heavy on the wrestling here with lots of side headlocks, takeovers and pin attempts. It wasn't bad but it was a little basic. I thought it ended a bit suddenly for the way they had paced this. Borne won as expected since he is much higher up on the food chain.

Briggs and Tav fight outside. Trick Williams comes in and chairs Borne from behind. Trick tells Ricky Saints to give him his title back. Ricky then appears behind him and hits him. They fight and security tries to break it up.

Saints and Trick fight in the ring then both go over the top. KJ hits JG with the title and gets the pin.

Thoughts: I didn't like the top rope spanish fly kick out here as that move should be protected. Kelani also did a lot of kicks here but they weren't thrown that well and didn't look good. I thought the match was about average. It doesn't seem like we saw the end of this though.

Saints and Trick fight more after. Saints spears him through the riser. Ava comes out. She says they can have a last man standing match in 2 weeks. They then fight more.

Overall thoughts: It was a pretty average show. There was nothing that great here and there were a lot of shorter matches and dirty finishes here. It was easy to get through but it wasn't their best work. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall and would recommend it.

Slade and Fenrir go face to face after.

Kerry Morton does a promo. He says he's inevitable. He said he cost Hammerstone a match as his boy Silas was out there and that's what they do. Kerry says Hammer gets free clout getting in the ring with him. Kerry says he will show everyone they don't make them like this anymore.

Thoughts: KM didn't respect Alex's size enough here and it was hard to buy Kerry really being able to hurt Hammer here. KM calling for help near the end and not getting any should lead somewhere. I'm glad Hammer got a win.

Carson Drake and Aron Stevens talk. They say The Holy Grail made the poorest decision of their career as they are in the ring with simply the best. Aron says there is no way EC and PB can take this train down.

Bryan Idol talks to Natalia Markova outside. He asks if she will finally beat Kenzie Paige. She says she's ready now and Idol asks how many attempts she has had. Idol tells her to win.

We go back to the match. Aron knees EC from the apron in the back. EC hits punches on Drake. EC is thrown out. EC chops Drake in the corner. C-Lo trips Drake. The ref sees it and ejects him.

Aron stomps on PB. Aron grabs his loaded glove. EC stops Aron with a stunner. EC topes Drake outside. Drake rakes on PB's eyes. Drake is sent into EC. Aron hits PB with the loaded glove and Drake rolls up PB to win.

Thoughts: I can't say I love The Holy Grail losing like this, even if they were cheated out. They've been treated like too big of a deal to lose to the less respectable Drake and Aron. rake and Aron did need a win though as they were newly paired together. The match was about average. The heels did what they were supposed to by cheating and trying to run from PB. 

Overall thoughts: It was your usual NWA show with random matches and people. Hammer/Kerry was built up to though. The show was average overall with nothing really standing out. We actually got some fall out from the Bitcrush and Anger Management segments though which was good to see and which surprised me. No word on the inheritance stuff though with Hunter, Idol and The Paige Sisters. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall as it was an average show and nothing you needed to see.

Thoughts: It wasn't a vet vs young lions match, but was treated similarly. Shota got offense in but it wasn't treated that seriously and it was obvious he had no real shot here. It wasn't that interesting. 

Dan Tamura, Hikaru Sato, Saito Brothers (Jun Saito & Naruki Doi) & Yuko Miyamoto vs. Hokuto Omori, Kuma Arashi, Takashi Yoshida & Tokyo Yankees (Kuroshio TOKYO Japan & Seigo Tachibana)

Thoughts: It was short and just a way to get people on the show. We didn't see much of anyone here and it wasn't very serious.

Odd double clotheslines Ken and HS. Xyon death valley drivers HS. HAVOC then poses. Abe tries to fight off the 3v1. Abe takes a german + neckbreaker combo. Odd then 2nd rope splashes Abe and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't super serious here. HAVOC did alright here though and Odd was moving well for a big man. It didn't get a ton of time but it was a little entertaining.

Tal and NN go at it. tal shoves him around and NN slaps him. Tal misses a shot and is hit with forearms and punches. Tal headbutts him. RH and Ren get in.

Yuma flying knees him from behind then dragon suplexes him. Ryo backrolls him again but Yuma gets out and germans him for 2. Yuma flying knees him twice  for 2. Yuma gimlets him and wins.

Thoughts: They had some of the idea right here with Ryo going for the upset but it was a little slower and a little longer than it needed to be which hurt it. Yuma also has limited offense and didn't quite have all the striking to really trade with Ryo here. I like the spot near the end where Yuma turned the leglock into a german. It was a good enough match overall but it could have been even better with some adjustments.

Shota Kofuji interrupts the champs as they talk on the mic after. he seems to want a title shot and brings out Hideki Suzuki as his partner.

Thoughts: I can't say I'm surprised by the result even though it's the wrong one. This is Japan and bringing in a new main event guy just to lose is a staple. I didn't like the match that much. It was slow and pretty much all strikes. They weren't super creative or stiff ones either with Go just doing chops for the most part and Ken doing pumping knees and kicks. I felt like they kind of started to get the idea of this at the end by then it was over. 

Ken has words for Go after. He tries to hug him and Go blocks it. Go then hugs him. Go leaves with his crew as Ken talks. Hokuto Omori comes out and dragon suplexes Ken. They butt heads and Hokuto face shoves him. Ken then talks more to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was maybe just a little better than average. The main didn't really hit. The 2nd and 3rd matches from the top were good enough. I was entertained by the HAVOC 6-man, but it wasn't super serious and neither was Jiro's match. The opener wasn't that great. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 total.

WWE Monday Night Raw 10/27/2025

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/wwe-monday-night-raw-10202025.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/wwe-monday-night-raw-1132025.html 

We are in Anaheim, CA.

We see various wrestlers arrive. 

The vacant World Title is in the ring. Jey Uso then comes out through the stands. Jey says he's got Roman and Jimmy in his ear along with everyone's mama. He says he doesn't care what they think about him because it's just him. 

CM Punk comes out. He then mocks Jey and asks for his song to be played a second time. He says Jey will get him in his grill on Saturday. He says he's happy Jey is finally listening to himself. He says Jey's body language and actions answer a lot for him. He says he knows Jey has what it takes. He says Jey has got what it takes but asks how far he is willing to go.

Punk says Jey's not the only one who needs to be champ again. Punk says he needs to be champ like he needs air in his lungs. He says he knows how far he is willing to go and asks Jey how far will be willing to go.

Jey says let's go. Jey says he's been in these waters and knows how to swim. Jey says screw you to Punk and says he will show him who the best in the world is. 

The Judgment Day talk in the back. Dom says they have a problem. Dom says Pearce has a vendetta against him and now Rusev/Penta have a #1 contender's match. Raquel says maybe if he wasn't a habitual cheater, he wouldn't have a problem. Dom asks what "we" will do at SNME. JD brings up him and Finn losing the tag titles and says Dom's on his own. Dom then tells someone on the phone he needs their help.

Rusev goes for the camel clutch. Penta escapes and hits a made in Japan for 2. They trade shots on their knees. Grande Americano's crew then comes in and causes a double DQ/no contest.

Thoughts: I didn't like Penta doing a made in Japan on Rusev as he's too big for that. Penta did his flying here and Rusev used his power against him. I was alright with this and looking to see how they would end things but sadly we didn't get a true finish.

Both Rusev and Penta get beaten up after. Rusev is sent into the steps. Los Americano's pose. Rusev gets in the ring and beats up Ryo and Bravo. Penta superkicks Grande then Grande's partners pull him out. Penta and Rusev then stare at each other. 

LA Knight is interviewed. He says he didn't come out last week with what he needed. He says he can do what he needs to do as he gets used to doing the hard things sometimes. He says whoever comes out of SNME as champ, he will come back with the title and ask Jackie Redmond if she sees the title around his waist.

The Bron's and Paul Heyman talk in the back. Bron says they should have been in the battle royal last week as it was the quickest way to the title. Paul says he likes the idea but it would have p!ssed off Adam Pearce who could have suspended them and kept Bron away from the title. Paul says let's use Bron's idea on one man. Paul says the winner of the title match at SNME will show up next week looking to be a victim. He says Bron has a clear path after that. Bron asks Paul to get him a match tonight. Paul says he has a match tonight soon against LA Knight.

We get a video on Asuka's decade in WWE. Oddly, there's just music only over clips.

Finn and JD go up to Adam Pearce in the back. Adam asks where Dom is and says he has news. JD wants a title rematch tonight. Finn says he hoped their rematch would be tonight. Adam says they are already busy tonight as they jumped in the battle royal last week and eliminated someone illegally. He says one of them is going 1v1 with Sheamus. JD says he'll face Sheamus and he'll come back here when he rips his head off. Finn says not to forget the title shot when he's done.

Thoughts: It wasn't bad. RP worked the neck some here en route to victory and Bella didn't botch much. Bella knocked RP loopy for a few seconds with a hard slap.

The heels beat up on Nikki after. Vaquer comes out to save her. Vaquer and Raquel go face to face then Bella joins in. 

We see a Bayley video tweet saying she got her and Lyra a Women's Tag Title match vs Flair and Bliss. 

Lyra runs into The Kabuki Warriors. Asuka says they should be in the title match. Lyra says she had nothing to do with it. Asuka yells at her. Sane tells Lyra not to make Asuka angry. Bayley walks in and Lyra says look at the mess she got them into. Bayley has a matching jacket for her. Lyra says she's not prepared. Bayley says she thinks they can do it and says what if they lose? Lyra says, what if we win? They then do a handshake and get fired up.

Jimmy Uso talks to Jey Uso in the back about what he said earlier. Jimmy says he saved Jey twice last week then Jey threw him out. Jey makes an excuse and Jimmy tells him not to. Jimmy says Jey thought about himself like always. Jimmy says Jey is scared to find out what would have happened if it came down to them in the battle royal.

LA bangs Bron's head off the commentary table. LA reverse ddt's Bron out of a gorilla press. Bron kips up. LA misses a double jump elbow drop and Bron spears LA to win.

Thoughts: Loses Always Knight strikes again here. They tried but the match had some sloppy moments. LA almost got dumped on his head twice here. LA hit his usual spots but there was no great logic to this. The finished looked good.

Adam Pearce is looking for Dominik Mysterio and asks around. He finds Dom with Los Americano's. Adam asks what that was. Dom blames them for the attack on Penta and Rusev. Adam asks Dom what's wrong with him. He says Penta and Rusev aren't after them but Dom. He says Dom will defend against them at SNME in an IC Title triple threat.

Jimmy and Jey Uso talk. Jey says he loves Jimmy and he's his brother. He says Jimmy said he'd throw Jey over the top if he had a shot. Jey says it didn't go that way though. Jey says he's got a lot on his plate and doesn't have a lot of real estate for anyone else.

Thoughts: I liked the match. JD did good as the much smaller heel and they got him a win with some help that saved Sheamus some face here. I thought they did a good job with this and got the logic right here.

Adam Pearce talks to Maxxine Dupri in the back. He says she has 2 wins over the women's champ and wants to make the title match official. Max says she doesn't want the opportunity to go to waste. She says she needs to call a friend and confirm she is prepared for anything Becky throws at her. She says once she is ready, she will take the Women's IC title. Adam says to call him when she's ready.

Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair are interviewed. They have been tag champs for 85 days. Jackie asks why they would accept an impromptu challenge. Bliss says if anyone wants to fight, they have to ask. Flair says they are 2 wins away from having the most tag title defenses. The Kabuki Warriors come in. Asuka says they should be in the title match tonight. She says Bayley's team and Flair's team don't deserve the titles. Flair says they would be honored to face them. Asuka says they aren't ready for Asuka. Sane then opens her umbrella at them.

Thoughts: Lyra and Flair weren't on the same page here and something happened at the end with Lyra (it seems like her hair got caught in Bliss' outfit). It was an entertaining bout otherwise though and they really got cooking near the end. I liked this.

The Kabuki Warriors attack both teams after. Flair is held for a top rope elbow drop from Sane. Lyra is double clubbed on. The Warriors back off from Bayley.

Overall thoughts: It was a good Raw. It feels like we are getting closer to the hot streak of Raw's we had in 20204 than the colder streak of Raw's we had this year. We had a lot of good in-ring action here and there's a lot of different storylines going on with Bayley and Lyra, The Uso's having issues, The Judgment Day and Dom having issues and The Kabuki Warriors. This was one of those shows where I would have been fine if it had gone on a little longer and that says something when it's running past 10:30PM at night. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall.

Thoughts: Neon's botch was horrible here as he took a 2nd rope ganso bomb on his head. It wasn't the best work from anyone here as the faces didn't do a ton of flying and the heels didn't do anything crazy. It was acceptable but not much more.

Overall thoughts: There were 3 matches here as usual. The women's match wasn't good. Okumura's match was the best match of the night as the heels did their thing and the faces flew some. The main was acceptable but it was far from anyone's best work. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was an average show.
