#LAWTAKE - WWE RAW 2/20/23
It’s the kidddd CL! I am back with more #LAWTAKES from here on in. Get used to these hot takes..
Elias never wins. Where’s Ezekiel when you need him? Lashley is walking a weird line of Babyface and heel, essentially a tweener to a tee. Is that really the place he needs to be with Lesnar waiting in the wings?
Otis being with MMM gives him something to do, which is good for the Otis hive. Gable is still criminally undervalued and underutilized.
Bronson Reed is going to be a force in the US or IC Title division if not the champion within the next 6-12 months.
Ali Vs Ziggler should just turn into a tag team that feuds with Pretty Deadly in a hair Vs Hair match over the tag titles at a B-level PLE. WWE Book it and know where you heard it first!
Seth Rollins is as over as fuck! What a difference a year makes. From one of the most overly hated to just the moved beloved. If they’re two world titles again then Seth would absolutely be a 2x champ in the last year.
When has a match ever been stopped from a Stomp? That was odd. Wonder if Miz shows up with a neck brace.
Rhea Ripley is the GAWWDESS. Again, what a difference even three years makes. Rhea’s stance Vs Charlotte from match one looks like a school kid compared to this evolved level Rhea is on now. No question she wins at Mania. Now is her time.
Nikki Cross returned and still never wins. Asuka is dominant as can be but I still don’t see her dethroning Bianca. She will come the closest though but I don’t see two women’s title challenges at Mania.
Bianca is having a John Cena level run right now. She can’t be stopped, she just hasn’t faced Asuka before but just like every single challenger since last year, they will all fall.
Cody needs more than a few words to close out dominant promos from his adversaries. Doesn’t feel like WWE is putting all the confidence in Cody’s run at the top to me. Remains to be seen. Still provides the star power needed.
Lita & Becky as Womens Tag Champs is just fine. Team Red Vs Damage Control will do what it needs to do, keeping everyone busy while all the other titles are occupied. But where does this leave Shayna and Ronda on SD? A multi woman mash up with all the aforementioned names is pretty fucking cool. But where do Bayley and (and the rumored) Trish Stratus come into play?
Kevin Owens not forgetting his words over the last month was beautiful. For a change, the guy who gets labeled the most behind Big Show with the most flip-flop character changes, Owens stood his ground here. Slow burn. We got mad weeks till Mania. Don’t rush this shit.
Easily the biggest legendary win of Theory’s career against Edge, and pretty clean too despite the Finn appearance.
More edge and Finn? Ugh. We need more wrestler air time. New feuds. A year later and this won’t stop. A regular singles match at Mania just won’t cut it.
Judgment Day being the second biggest faction in the WWE was in no way on my booking bingo card.
