The Best of Raw McIntyre’s Open Challengeĭrew McIntyre got things underway by chinwagging with a couple of legendary WWE figures while a pandemic continues to rampage through its locker room. Would it work? Could Raw chart a new course? Let’s find out in the review. And so it resorted to the same thing is does whenever it’s looking for a short-term ratings boost: it summoned the old timers.Ĭhristian, Ric Flair, Big Show and Shawn Michaels were all scheduled to make appearances, no doubt in furtherance of the Drew McIntyre / Randy Orton dynamic and likely to set up another rematch. Of trying to generate any semblance of excitement. So Raw once again found itself in the unenviable position of trying to create buzz. JUST ANNOUNCED: WWE Champion & will kick off #WWERaw TONIGHT! Raw offered precisely the square root of diddly squat in the way of wrestling goodness – unless you count any of the trillion rematches, which I as a matter of principle do not. All of that delicious, scandalous, devastating insanity was contributed by SmackDown. And don’t even get me started on that Roman Reigns / Jey Uso masterpiece! Man oh man is Roman Reigns great… and that’s not something I thought I’d be saying this decade. It was like staring straight at the sun, both wondrous and unbelievably painful. The triple threat between Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles and Sami Zayn was a beautiful kaleidoscope of disaster. But the low-level showpiece actually impressed for the most part. I expected nothing from the Sunday pay-per-view – and yet somehow still felt like I was running the risk of being disappointed. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. Good Lord, Clash of Champions was incredibly alright.
