5 Ups And 7 Downs From WWE Raw (Feb 7)

1. RK-Bro Takes Alpha Academy To School

You can tell when WWE has decided to go in on an act, and they’ve clearly bought in on Chad Gable and Alpha Academy’s act.

The duo battled RK-Bro in the third (and final) contest of the academic bowl – the Quiz Bowl. Surprisingly this was actually really well done all the way through, with the two teams battling to be the first to 5 points and using all 9 categories.

Riddle and Randy Orton hung with Gable in the early going, but Otis took a swipe at Colorado (the host state for Raw) in identifying the largest of the 48 contiguous states (Texas). Then RK-Bro whiffed on a question about which Baldwin boy fathered Justin Bieber’s wife. Riddle asking to use a lifeline and call his friend Bieber was a pretty good line.

As you could expect, the competition came down to a marijuana joke, but it was Orton who referenced baking and knowing how many grams (28) are in an ounce.

The segment was entertaining enough, with Gable losing his mind over the buzzer and booing fans breaking his concentration, and it means we get Alpha Academy against RK-Bro again, so that’s also fine by us.

Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
