WWE Raw: Winners, Grades, and Samantha Irvin's Emotional Farewell
Hold on to your hats, wrestling fans, because this week's Raw was a rollercoaster ride! We saw some epic victories, some crushing defeats, and a tearful goodbye to a beloved ring announcer. Let's break down the night's biggest moments, shall we?
The Big Wins:
-
The Judgment Day (Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, and Dominik Mysterio) defeated The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) and The O.C. (AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows) in a six-man tag team match. This was a chaotic, high-energy brawl that showcased the raw talent of all six competitors. The Judgment Day's victory solidified their dominance, and they're clearly the team to beat right now.
-
Becky Lynch defeated Zoey Stark. This was a battle of two powerhouses, and Lynch's experience ultimately proved to be the difference. Stark put up a good fight, but Lynch's relentless offense was too much to handle.
-
Seth Rollins defeated Shinsuke Nakamura. In a match that was pure technical brilliance, Rollins emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle. Nakamura is a true legend, and his match with Rollins was a clinic in in-ring storytelling.
Not So Good:
-
Cody Rhodes's continued absence from the ring. Dude, we miss ya! Hopefully, we'll see him back soon and kicking some serious butt.
-
The lack of a proper storyline for the United States Championship. It feels like the title's been floating around aimlessly, and it needs a good story to really make it pop.
Samantha Irvin's Farewell
This was the big one, folks. Samantha Irvin, one of the best ring announcers in the business, said goodbye to WWE Raw. The crowd gave her a standing ovation, and her emotional speech choked up a few fans (we're not crying, you're crying!). Irvin's energy and passion were always a highlight of Raw, and her presence will be deeply missed.
Overall, this was a Raw episode that had its highs and lows. The matches were mostly entertaining, but the storytelling felt a bit disjointed in places. Still, we can't knock the passion and intensity from the performers, especially those who delivered some truly memorable moments.
