<h3><strong>Nasty Stuff</strong></h3>
<p>We feel that WWE had done the right thing here. They saw the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braun_Strowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Braun Strowman</a> one-man demolition crew work, so they applied it on Brock Lesnar. And boy oh boy was it for good effect. Roman still looked strong (since he could fight back three marshals while handcuffed), and Brock looked like a monster, unrelentingly punishing his prey. The Lesnar – Reigns build has been very solid so far, and we can only imagine the chaos to be caused in the upcoming weeks.</p>

<p>Too bad no ambulances were flipped during tonight’s segment.</p>

<h3><strong>Nia Went Wild</strong></h3>
<p>Come on, who would not get mad when someone who you thought to be your best friend told you that you were three hundred pounds of sad, pathetic loser? We think the Bliss – Jax feud is going to work for two reasons. First, the motive behind all this is refreshing, contemporary, and relatable – many people have been stabbed in the back by their best friends, and many have had their most embarrassing flaw ridiculed in front of the whole world. Second, though subtle, is the third character, Mickie James. It will be fascinating to see how her interaction with Alexa will affect the main story.</p>

<p>To us, the Asuka vs Bliss match was not really necessary, and was just another way of keeping Asuka on TV. It was just another way of advancing a different feud, and Asuka was not the center of the commotion. This was something that should not have been done. With Asuka being only a couple of weeks away from a WrestleMania championship showdown, The Empress of Tomorrow should have the spotlight whenever she appears on television. Learn from this, SmackDown.</p>

<h3><strong>Potential Cracks?</strong></h3>
<p>Now, it might have been only our hunch, but we feel like The Bar is going to break up soon. Our hunch is based on the fact that Sheamus backed out when The Bar was about to confront Braun Strowman. It was not a complete abandonment of his partner Cesaro – Sheamus still did some distraction work, and he checked on The Swiss Cyborg after the match, yet we feel that something was going on, especially after their promo about how glued together The Bar is. But again, it is just our hunch, and we have predicted that <a href="http://api.wrestlingworld.co/reviews/wwe-fastlane-2018-review-results/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Natalya would be playing with cats during her entire match at Fastlane.</a> So yeah, take us with a grain of salt.</p>

<h3><strong>Letdown</strong></h3>
<p>Poor The Revival. After all the ups and downs and teases of a decent push, we now find them participating in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. It is so hard to mess up such a good team as The Revival, yet WWE writers have managed to do the impossible (in all the wrong meanings of the word).</p>

<p>Wilder and Dawson must be p*ssed to see BRAUN FREAKING STROWMAN in their place right now.</p>

<p>The promo between Banks and Bayley was useful – it established the drive for the feud, since the latter finally told everyone why she was being mad at Banks. And unlike Asuka vs Bliss, the match that followed added fuel to the fire that was just waiting to burst into a huge ball of flame between Bayley and Banks. That was as heated as two women could get without getting physical. Trust us, we know catfights.</p>

<h3><strong>Mafia Stuff</strong></h3>
<p>The boss only shows up at the very end. Before that, he sends out his henchmen to do the business. And if The Undertaker is actually returning, then he sure felt like a godfather tonight, as Kane came out and delivered a chokeslam to Cena for running his mouth over The Deadman. Hell, by this point, we should not even say if, but rather when The Undertaker is actually returning. We are only two weeks away from WrestleMania, and he still shows no sign of a comeback. Or WWE might just pull a WrestleMania 31 on us, if you get the reference.</p>

<h3><strong>More of the Same</strong></h3>
<p>But in a good way. Tonight saw The Miz cutting another promo about the respect he did not receive, and how he would take it at WrestleMania 34. The promo was fine – another typically good Miz mic work. Then came the tag team match, The Club won, The Miztourage’s post-match assault, Rollins’ rescue, and the Balor – Rollins staredown. Not bad, but not exceptional either.</p>

<h3><strong>Aaaaaand It Was OVAH</strong></h3>
<p>So…Bray Wyatt is OBSOLETE now?</p>
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="wgaJaqyIUPs"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Hardy brutalizes Wyatt inside The Dome of Deletion - The Ultimate Deletion: Raw, March 19, 2018" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wgaJaqyIUPs?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>First off, why did this match HAVE to happen on RAW? Such a special attraction would have been a better fit for WrestleMania, which is, conveniently, only TWO WEEKS AWAY. Unless Hardy and Wyatt come up with something even wilder than what we just witnessed tonight. Even though we have already seen the TNA version of Ultimate Deletion, we still found ourselves thoroughly amused as Bray Wyatt was made to (unfortunately, not literally) jump through hoops to get Matt Hardy. It felt like Bray Wyatt had everything against him – the unfamiliar battle zone, the PTSD, and the interference…OH THE INTERFERENCES. At the end, Bray Wyatt got thrown into the Lake of Reincarnation, and we shall see what would transpire from that. Hopefully not Husky Harris.</p>

<h3>Bonus (&#8216;Rowdy&#8217; Ronda)</h3>
<p>This segment was not aired on live TV. But as promised by the WWE, Ronda Rousey appeared on Raw but only after the show went off air. However, she was interrupted by Dana Brooke and tried to get her off the ring (was that really needed Dana?). Instead, Rousey grabbed Dana and threw her out of the ring.</p>

<h3><strong>Overall Review:</strong></h3>
<p>WWE Monday Night Raw had its ups and downs. The highlights were obviously The Ultimate Deletion, Brock Lesnar’s assault, and the Bayley – Banks storyline interactions. Most of the downs were due to the booking mess that the writers got themselves into, rather than the performers’ fault themselves. Still feeling bad for Dash and Dawson. Nevertheless, tonight’s show left us looking forward to feud developments in the two remaining RAWs before ‘Mania, and that means the red brand gets the thumbs up from us this week.</p>
