WWE RAW Women’s Title Triple Threat Match
Bianca Belair (c) vs. Becky Lynch vs. Asuka

A typical but still good match from these three which is nothing less than expected. Some close falls and good moments but a very lackluster finish. It worked and will likely push Becky / Blair till Money In The Bank but wasn’t a great end to the match. 

3.5 / 5

Two On One Handicap Match
MVP & Omos vs. Bobby Lashley

Thankfully this didn’t go too long. Omos still isn’t impressive at all in the ring and MVP back in ring just does nothing for a 2022 match. Lashley looked good beating two guys but this match just did nothing for me. 

1 / 5

Singles Match
Kevin Owens vs. Ezekiel

A solid match that just felt like a match you’d see on Raw. Some good spots and close calls. Owens final set of moves looked great and effective against Ezekiel to close the match though. 

2.5 / 5

Mixed Six Man Tag Team Match
AJ Styles, Finn Balor & Liv Morgan vs. The Judgment Day (Damian Priest, Edge & Rhea Ripley)

An okay match that had its moments but also its downfalls. I stand by my statement of Edges return being lackluster mostly and it stand here. The best moments mostly didn’t include Edge. Liv and Ripley did well together with some impressive moves by both. A few close calls and it was basic knowledge Edge would win since his faction is new and AJs is pretty much just thrown together. 

2.5 / 5

No Holds Barred Match
Happy Corbin vs. Madcap Moss

A very physical no DQ match. The crowd was into it but wanted tables which they didn’t get. Matches like these are fine in WWE but their lack of blood or anything even slightly crazy makes a lot of it seem lackluster in the end. 

2.5 / 5

WWE United States Title Match
Theory (c) vs. Mustafa Ali

Ali rocked some Chicago flag tights and the crowd was behind this match a lot. Both men gave it their all with great back and forth. When one man had it you thought the other would get back into it. Austin was clearly retaining since he is newer to the belt and likely holding it for some time. 

3 / 5

Hell In A Cell Match
Seth Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes

Props to Cody for wrestling through a wicked injury, a 20 minute physical match with that isn’t something most would do. Here’s my main issue with this, it was a Hell In A Cell match that at no point really ever felt like anything special with it. The match really stayed in the ring and even though it had a few weapons and a table could have just been any other match type. Granted Cody being injured took possibly a lot of spots away but still. That being it was still a very solid match. Cody is being booked super strong right now going 3-0 against Seth and the crowd was behind him. Seth rocking Dusty Rhodes polka dots was great though. 

3.5 / 5
