6 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Raw (3 June - Results & Review)

4. Stretching Things Out

Bron Breakker is a beast and could be a huge star on the main roster if he’s booked smartly and WWE plays to his strengths.

His match against Ricochet Monday night should have been essentially a WWE Speed match on TV: a three-minute sprint that saw both men racing around the ring at top speed throwing their bodies at each other with reckless abandon.

And this match had bursts of that action, but it also bridged a commercial break and carried on longer than it probably should have, especially considering Ricochet was nursing bruised ribs (an easy out to allow for that shorter match). They could have condensed things by a few minutes and still fit everything in, including Bron’s incredible leaping Frankensteiner.

NXT fans saw Bron being mishandled when he was forced to wrestle longer matches and sell before making a comeback. Once he got down to business of just wrecking dudes, he became a huge favorite on the brand. Breakker’s match against Ricochet worked well, but it could have been jaw-dropping if they never took their feet off the gas.
