Outside of one backstage segment and a Kevin Owens interview, it’s been pretty quiet in the follow up department and I’m still wondering why we are asking that question in December. Since Kevin Owens captured the WWE Universal Championship back in August, we really haven’t had much of anything of a follow up regarding Triple H’s involvement. WWE reminds us about that whole Triple H angle Adding Ric Flair to the mix is completely fine, although I could do without the Tommy Dreamer tears. She worked through it and continues to show she is a very solid talker on the mic in her heel role.

Might be time to take a cool down after Roadblock.Īs for the actual closing segment, I started to feel a little bad for Charlotte trying to talk over the audience (many who you could see leaving the arena). They definitely made up for it headlining RAW last week, but I get the sense the WWE audience is starting to grow a bit tired of this feud. Whether or not these two can pull that off remains to be seen after a very lackluster match at Hell in a Cell. I was very impressed with the Iron Man match between Sasha and Bayley in NXT. We are going to do it again in two weeks at Roadblock in an Iron Man match. Despite lacking in the promo department, Sasha completely delivered along with Charlotte in the main event later that night.
Wwe roadblock review full#
This was on full display when WWE posted a pre-show interview with her before last week’s RAW. I’m still not a huge fan of Sasha’s promo delivery. As the show progressed, I curtailed my internet rage and realized (as a rationale adult) that it was done on purpose to build to a video package later in the night to hype that Charlotte wanted to make a publicly apology to her father, Ric Flair, later in the evening. It was a rather interesting move by WWE to completely ignore the awesome main event between Charlotte and Sasha Banks from last week in the opening video package. Now that I will be taking over live coverage duties for a few weeks in place of Mike Tedesco (who will now be handling the blue brand for the time being), I’m approached last week going forward as an experiment to answer a simple question: is three hours too much? I’ve heard many people say the length of the show isn’t the real issue with RAW.Īfter a newsworthy and well paced show last week, I’m here to confirm three hours is just a bit much for my taste. Even with the introduction of the brand split back in July, it still left a lot to be desired. It’s not a show that seems to warrant three straight hours of my time every Monday night given the rather lackluster effort the last year. It’s two weeks until WWE Roadblock (…end of the line) and the red brand was coming off an extremely well done main event last week featuring Sasha Banks and Charlotte.įull disclosure before the comments go crazy: I have not been regular “live” viewer of this program for some time.
