WrestleTalk Roundtable – WWE Raw – November 5, 2018

What was your favourite moment from Raw?

Without a doubt this goes to that main event. Getting Drew away from Dolph and giving us a better idea of his character was literally all it took to frame Drew McIntyre as an absolutely unstoppable, devious monster.

A top heel if ever I’ve seen one. Before last night’s Raw, I liked McIntyre. After last night’s Raw, I can’t wait to see more of him in a top heel role.

An Olympic gold medal, a hall of fame career. Accolades that would normally guarantee victory against a “normal” man. But know that I’m not a “normal man.” If you step into the ring with me, I will hurt you, I will humble you, and I will beat you. #Raw

My favorite moment was the main event between Drew & Kurt. The match was absolutely fantastic.

I loved that they made it seem like they were in the middle of a blood feud, when they were meeting for the first time in a WWE ring. The moment when Drew was looking into Kurt’s eyes and telling him he was nothing, and Kurt’s reaction, seemed so real. The finish was great too with Kurt tapping out.

I’ve got to give the Manchester crowd some credit here. While their football teams have been slowly eroding my will to live recently (for different reasons), the wrestling audience was massively hot throughout Raw.

Obviously Elias was the highlight here, but Kurt, Ronda, Seth and Braun also got raucous reactions last night. It’s the kind of energy we haven’t often seen of late, but whenever it is there, it automatically makes the show better.

So, power to you Manchester. Now get rid of Jose Mourinho and I’ll really love you forever.

Seth Freakin’ Rollins. Everything Seth Rollins did this week on Raw was outstanding. His promo (which was strangely aimed at Brock Lesnar) felt incredibly genuine, almost as if he was given free reign to speak his mind. His performance in the handicap match against Author o- I mean AOP, was convincing and inspired. His selling following an attack from Dean Ambrose was spectacular, as he portrayed anger, pain, and confusion in beautifully equal measure.

After being bogged down by a poorly booked Shield run, it seems Seth Rollins’ stock is on the rise once again, and The ‘Kingslayer’ is carving his way back to the top of the card.
