Midcard Division
Speaking of, the midcard scene got the action going on last night’s Raw. It was champion Seth Rollins successfully defending against Kevin Owens. While I preferred the matches against Finn Balor and The Miz, this outing was good enough to add another notch on Rollins’ impressive 2018. He and Owens went back and forth for about 15 minutes before Rollins hit the Black Out for the win. Rollins has been on fire (no pun intended) ever since the gauntlet match a few months ago. Allowing him to retain the title, and continue to have incredible matches week in and week out, helps both him and the title in the long run.
Hell has frozen over folks; Roman Reigns is in a midcard feud that isn’t for the IC/US Title. You could make the argument that this beef is between two former world champions, and therefore is a main event rivalry, but I don’t buy it. Jinder Mahal is no longer a top guy in the company’s eyes, and therefore drags Reigns down to the midcard as well. On this show, Reigns cut a promo on Mahal to kick things off and later attacked Jinder backstage…twice. What a babyface. While it’s possible that Reigns beats Jinder and then gets another shot at Lesnar, as of now there are no stakes.
