5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE Raw (24 Aug - Results & Review)

4. The Dynamic Duo Of Banter

The pairing of two mismatched individuals who turn out to have incredible chemistry together is an age-old story that has worked time and time again in entertainment.

So, it should be no real shock that the unlikely tandem of LA Knight and Solo Sikoa just felt right Monday night.

Knight opened Raw by laying into Roman Reigns and him moving the goalposts when it came to the Megastar getting a world title match. He then called out the man who had his back, Solo Sikoa. Solo Dolo started out by borrowing a couple of Knight’s catchphrases before thanking LA for helping him out with the Bloodline last week.

But when Sikoa tried to steal a third Knight catchphrase, LA stopped him in his tracks, telling him, “This is your warning shot.” (Pew-pew!)

Enter the Usos, who were still steaming from last week and looking as menacing as possible. Jey hadn’t got the memo that his new catchphrase was already DOA, so he unleashed his warning shot, only for Solo to matrix to avoid the bullets (with an assist from LA).

Everything flows better now that the Bloodline 2.0 is officially a heel stable, allowing guys like Knight and Sikoa to be babyfaces playing against true villains rather than tweeners. And LA and Solo’s antics – and their catchphrases – play off of each other pretty well so far. Hopefully, this bodes well for both of them, even if they aren’t the Mega Powers that finally take down the Bloodline.
