RAW OVERVIEW: REVENGE IS SERVED COLD


After several weeks of torture, sneaky attacks and ambushes, the Absolution finally got what they deserved and it was fun to be watched. We finally got an answer about Asuka's role and it's to be uniting figure, symbol of RAW women's division hope and strength in the face of the new threat.

It's really nice to see them all forgetting their difference and facing Absolution.

But first thing first!

PAIGE & MANDY ROSE defeated BAYLEY & MICKIE JAMES

The night started with win for the evil stable!

In a very competitive match between three top and one rising names, with Deville and Sasha Banks at ringside, we had a victory for the heels, that fueled their confidence. 

I am more excited about this surrealistic feeling! To see Mickie James facing Paige. Even in a tag team match. Who was able to think that this is possible. We hope to see them one-on-one in the future. But overall the clash between these two generations of women, who are really into wrestling, was nice to be watch. Of course tag team matches got their limitations, especially women's tag team. In the past these kind of matches were used to show who is in your division, to allow to put on display some names. Today, tag teams are really competitive, but there is still that feeling of limitation. Superstars like Paige and Mickie James, can't release their full potential in a match like this. 

This tag tema showdown was about Mandy Rose. The next will be about Sonya Deville eventually. Tag team matches have another purpose - to allow, less known (eventually experienced) wrestler to score one, because she/he will be able to lose in normal circumstances i.e. one-on-one, without interference! So Mandy Rose has one important victory in her in-ring debut, pinning legendary Mickie James, with some help!

Of course Paige's role is vital and these days WWE are busy to remind us who is she! Video packages, photo galleries... The Prodigal Daughter is here and she is the most loved child in the family... and damn, she deserves it!

Actually I love the Absolution Storyline! Yes, they are evil and destructive, but I love these three women who broke the magic circle in RAW, that was locked around Bayley-Sasha-Alexa and from time to time there was Mickie or Nia, added. Meanwhile, women like Alicia Fox and Dana Brooke struggled to find any job in the show and Asuka... Asuka was an Universe on her own, beating the jobless Superstars! Absolution - Paige, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, changed all that and I can't be impressed and even cheering for them (deep inside). 

So I can't wait to see what will happen next week and I am really excited to see, the consequences. I am excited that we will see something different, not the usual matches. 

Oh, and let's not forget that Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss promised to put Absolution on their places. Intriguing!

ASUKA VS. ALICIA FOX, NEVER HAPPENED

We were teased since yesterday, that the story between Absolution and Asuka will got it's resolving this Monday. Two weeks in a row Paige and co. surrounded the ring and watched The Empress of Tomorrow, like predators look at their pray. But the question was who is the Predator and who is the pray, in this situation?

This week we saw that WWE have faith in Asuka and believed that she is capable of beating three women at once. We forgot that Asuka is a super-competitor, not a super-human and back in NXT she was ambushed several times (for example the sneaky attack of the Iconic Duo). 

But the beat-down of Asuka had another role. To ignite a real war! The whole RAW women's locker room run-in as one person, to make a statement "We Had Enough!". Asuka's beat down, was used as a trigger for creation of an Union, between yesterday's foes like Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax and Bayley, etc. It was really amazing moment when you see all of these women, run down the ramp, climbing the ring and fight for the right cause. 

From now on, I think that the Absolution will have a real troubles with Raw women's roster and Paige needs to think about more numbers or other tactics, to take back her positions... 

Now Raw is hotter than ever! Now the real fight has begun!
