5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE Raw (1 July - Results & Review)
3. Feel Like We’ve Been Here Before
There are definite Groundhog Day vibes to Finn Bálor sticking his nose in Damian Priest's business. This 'rising tensions' stuff between the Judgment Day members has been touched on heavily before, but WWE seemingly scrapped that to get everyone back on the same page. Now, they're hitting the repeat button.
JD might have the World and now Tag-Team Titles, but the faction lacks something without Rhea Ripley. It's hard to put a finger on properly, but that's telling. Even Seth Rollins came across as a background concern for creative compared to the frost between Priest and Bálor.
Yes, the Seth vs. Damian match at Money In The Bank will still be fire bell-to-bell, but chalk this up as another in-ring promo segment from Monday's Raw that failed to really hit the way it should've. Also, if somebody could tell Rollins to leave the constant laughing in 2022 and show more grit, that'd be sweet.
Hmm. Worrying display of treading water.
