Overall Show Score: 5/10
Pros: Seeing Jay Uso drafted to Monday Night Raw was a surprise. I like how they pay tribute Terry funk in the Tag Team Title Match. I was glad seeing a new Tag Team Champions being crowned and the best match of the night was the Steel Cage match involving Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch.
Cons: John Cena looks goofy as a backstage interviewer. A lot of the lines from the commentators do feels head scratching. The fans didn’t react that much of the action and the excitement for this show were felt drained after a difficult several days and my least favourite match was Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez.
