4 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Raw (9 February - Results & Review)

DOWNS…

5. Great Spot, Now Get To The Point

Je'Von Evans Los Americanos
WWE

It’s only 40 days into 2026, and fans already saw something Monday night that they’re guaranteed to see on every year-end recap video.

Los Americanos were battling Je’Von Evans and his mystery partner, the Original El Grande Americano, when things looked bleak. El Grande was down, and Bravo climbed to the top rope to pounce. But Evans leapt from the adjacent turnbuckle simultaneously and caught Bravo with a spectacular OG Cutter, levelling the masked luchador and bringing fans to their feet.

The match itself was perfectly inoffensive, giving Je’Von another small platform to fly around, while definitively portraying Chad Gable’s El Grande as a babyface rather than an antagonist to the Ludwig Kaiser version.

With that being established, can WWE please end this silly angle and do something worthwhile with these four masked superstars? None of them have done anything meaningful on American television since donning their hoods, and they’re now just locked in a feud with each other, a warped, wasted universe unto itself.

One great spot can’t justify how inessential this entire match felt. End this.
