Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly. Let’s see what went down on this week’s show!
Match #1: Chad Gable def. Sami Zayn The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
With Maxxine Dupri and Akira Tozawa unwilling to break rules to help him, Chad Gable sent them both to the back. As Gable continued to berate Dupri and Tozawa, Zayn took advantage to hit a Blue Thunder Bomb, but was unable to come up with the victory. Gable locked on the Ankle Lock to try and get the submission victory but Zayn was able to make it to the ropes. Screaming at Otis to help him, Otis was conflicted before deciding against helping his leader. Once again, Gable slapped Otis for his insubordination. With Otis irate, he clobbered Zayn behind the official’s back. Gable then took advantage...

Match #1: Sheamus def. Ivar The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Sheamus’ first match back on Raw was a banger. Picking up where he left off, The Celtic Warrior dropped Ivar with a stunning White Noise from the middle rope as the crowd roared in approval. The Celtic Warrior had his work cut out for him, however, as Ivar nearly squashed Sheamus with a huge splash from the top rope. Sheamus kicked out, screamed at the Viking Raider for more, and hit an epic Brogue Kick to claim a huge win in his return. Monday nights are fight nights, fella!
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: #DIY def. The New Day and The Creed Brothers The following is courtesy of wwe.

Rhea Ripley is a standout in the world of professional wrestling, particularly in WWE, thanks to her incredible in-ring skills, charisma and more. She has many qualities that set her apart from the average wrestler. She also loves Damian Priest, a member of The Judgment Day, and it appears she gives him a hard time when it comes to the ”Bisexual Undertaker” trend that is prevalent for him.

Fresh off his win at WrestleMania 40, WWE star Damian Priest has signed with Paradigm for representation in all areas, Variety has learned exclusively.
Paradigm will work to build his business across books, acting, marketing, unscripted and more.

Match #1: 2024 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal – Winner: “Big” Bronson Reed The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
“Big” Bronson Reed etched his name in history as he won the 2024 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal in thrilling fashion. Omos looked like the early favorite as he tossed out Kit Wilson, prompting Elton Prince to voluntarily eliminate himself to join his Pretty Deadly partner and avoid the wrath of The Nigerian Giant. As the field dwindled, Ricochet was poised to take control, but he was shockingly eliminated by Jd McDonagh, who was then promptly superkicked over the top rope by Akira Tozawa. Tozawa, Reed, Ivar and Otis were the final four Superstars, and the Aussie giant stood tall after eliminating the Viking Raider.

The WWE is riddled with so much going on with different superstars all with their different storylines intertwining or unraveling from one moment to the next, the championship holders like Rhea Ripley have to be ready for any match that comes her way, especially for her title.
But on the bright side, along with the support of The Judgment Day by her side in the company, she also has her fiancée Buddy Matthews to push her to be the best in her personal life.
Rhea Ripley
And while the WWE fandom knows about this, they still cannot help but inquire about how Matthews felt with the Ripley X Dominik storyline that did wonders for their careers. When posed this question, the Women’s World Champion revealed that she too was surprised that her fiancée wasn’t bothered by it all that much, which actually made her jealous instead.

Victims, aren’t we all? Well, Eric Draven is at least, and we’re not talking about his Devil’s Night death. When the first look at Bill Skarsgård’s version of the character arrived earlier this week, the reception was poor to say the least. One peek at this new Eric Draven and pretty much one thing came to everybody’s mind: Jared Leto as The Joker. Complete with a tattoo above the eyebrow and one that even let his left nipple stand in for an eyeball, the look has been widely blasted by fans and even those directly linked to the 1994 cult favorite. Now, someone tied very closely to Leto’s Joker, David Ayer, has chimed in…although his dig is a little more subtle than most.
Responding to a post showing Skarsgård as Eric Draven in the upcoming reboot, David Ayer said nothing, only laying down a sly side-eye emoji.

This week’s episode of the Stamford-based promotion’s blue brand proved a noteworthy outing for the social media personality. Paul qualified for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match scheduled on February 24 in Perth by defeating former tag team partner The Miz.

If he conquers the upcoming event, he will snag a chance to duke it out with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
But his victory at the SmackDown isn’t the only thing being talked out. During his entrance, as the pro-wrestler walked past his fans, he grabbed a Prime bottle from one of them in the front row. As the person expected an autograph, Paul instead, in a classic heel move,...

It was quite a birthday for Ilja Dragunov a few weeks ago when the WWE Nxt Champion successfully defended the gold against Dominik Mysterio. The October 10 episode of the USA Network show also saw a slew of top superstars paying a visit including John Cena, The Undertaker, Asuka, and Cody Rhodes. Next up for the Russian-born “Mad Dragon” is the main event during the second week of Halloween Havoc on Nxt. It’s where he’ll put the belt on the line against Carmelo Hayes. They’ve had quite the rivalry putting on two classics at the Great American Bash and No Mercy. Here Dragunov previews the next installment of this trilogy. As Nxt champion, how is it for you to see all eyes on the brand, especially on that October 10 episode leading into Halloween Havoc? Ilja Dragunov: It’s absolutely beautiful.

British Strongstyle proved to be too much as their tandem offense planted Coffey and gave them the win, only for Gallus to attack them after the match.

Match #1: The New Day def. Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
In only their second match as a team, Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle took on the seasoned New Day. After a huge top-rope fisherman’s suplex, Riddle and McIntyre were rolling, contending well with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods’ tag team chemistry. Before they were able to get going, however, The Viking Raiders clobbered McIntyre, which opened the way for The New Day to gain the victory after a Trouble in Paradise connected with Riddle.

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. Let’s get straight into it and see what went down in this episode…
Match #1: Mustafa Ali def. Axiom The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Mustafa Ali sent a message to the Nxt locker room with a decisive victory over the high-flying Axiom to kick-off Nxt. Scrypts appeared at ringside during the match alongside Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, but swiftly left after attempting to intimidate Scrypts former partner. Both Superstars were perched on the top rope and seemingly instinctively, Ali grabbed Axiom’s mask and nearly ripped it off, allowing him time to shove Axiom off the top rope and hit the 450 Splash for the win
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Blair Davenport def. Kelani Jordan The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Match #1: Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams & Ilja Dragunov def. Schism The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Trick Melo Gang and Ilja Dragunov proved they could work together by defeating Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, and Jagger Reid, but there is still a level of animosity heading into their Nxt Championship Match at the Great American Bash. Fowler and Reid tried to use their signature underhanded tactics to gain an advantage, but Carmelo Hayes had Trick Williams’ back and saved him from their clutches. Once Dragunov tagged into the match, his tenacity got the better of him as he accidentally hit Williams with a flying corkscrew elbow, and while it frustrated Hayes’, it didn’t affect his game as two Schism followers interfered and allowed...

Match #1: Nathan Frazer & Dragon Lee def. Los Lotharios The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Nxt return of Los Lotharios did not go the way they planned as the team of Nxt Heritage Cup Champion Nathan Frazer and Dragon Lee walked out as the victors. Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo started the match by jumping Frazer and Lee with tandem dropkicks to the outside, and early on it looked like Los Lothario would cruise to the win. A pair of remarkable moonsaults from Garza and Carrillo was followed up by an incredible powerbomb from Lee, but all four Superstars refused to give in as the match wore on. With the Nxt Universe in a frenzy, Frazer took out both members of Los...

Match #1: Gunther def. Matt Riddle The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
With the rest of his Imperium teammates barred from ringside, Intercontinental Champion Gunther took on Matt Riddle in a non-title match. Gunther and Riddle traded submission attempts to start the match, with Gunther applying a sleeper hold followed by a triangle hold attempt by Riddle.

As Gunther beat down Riddle, The Original Bro withstood the punishment, attempting to get the victory after a ripcord knee. Gunther did not need Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci with him, defeating The Original Bro a huge Powerbomb.
