Title This: WWE Raw Reaction “Beat The Clock and Repeat John Cena”

May 20, 2014

The Undercard

wwe raw reaction Cesaro defeated Sheamus in a physical and entertaining match. I love the dynamic these two men have together. You never know who is the stronger guy, who is tougher and who is going to win when you pair these two together. The back and forth intensity and the consecutive blows to each men's chest really gave the sense of a fight. Sheamus hits a powerslam, but Paul Heyman distracts Sheamus enough so Cesaro hits a German Suplex bridge for the win.

Again, I still think this match should NOT happen because Cesaro needs more than a United States Championship. Sheamus should hold onto the title for a while, while Cesaro faces off against a higher profile superstar. He cannot be booked like Curtis Axel was a year ago.

Score: 7/10

-Summer Rae returns and kisses Fandango. Her and Layla brawl. This is in direct connection with Total Divas, as Summer Rae and Fandango seem to be an item. WWE has to booked consistently with that show, even if it was filmed a few months ago. I am alright with seeing Summer Rae in a love triangle. At the end of the day, Summer Rae will be a bigger draw than Fandango or Layla. She just has "it."

Score: 5.5/10

Rusev squashes Heath Slater in a match that is booked exactly the same each week. No matter who Rusev is facing, he always hits 2-3 moves and makes his opponent tap out. Can we get more creative here, please?

Score: 3/10

Alicia Fox defeated Paige

I am split here for a few reasons. First off, Paige needs to overcome some sort of adversity as champion, but she should continuously look stronger each week. I really like Paige, but it is still so early for her character to develop from week to week. Can we all agree that Fox, in the past two weeks, has overshadowed the champion? In the grand scheme of things, I like this. I love the development of Fox. Her attitude and ring work consistently improves when she is given time. The win is baffling to me, but it wouldn't make sense for the challenger to lose two times in a row if they wanted her in a championship match. I see this being booked for WWE Payback, which is a plus for me.

Score: 6.5/10

-Adam Rose comes to the ring and feels really important, thanks to the London Crowd. I loved how the fans really got behind him. WWE should have held his debut back until this Raw, not one two weeks ago in a city that lacks passion for wrestling. London is the cream of the crop when it comes to crowd reactions. Anyways, Zeb Colter gets in the face of Rose and wants to fight him. Instead, Swagger hits him with a cheap shot. Rose gets up and takes Swagger out of the ring. Swagger retreats.

I am still not sure how Rose's character will be handled from week to week. His song is catchy and he can really wrestle, but will his gimmick be too cheesy to be taken seriously at times?

Score: 5.5/10
