Isenberg Reacts: WWE Raw “Excellent Bouts, Excellent Build”

Team Bella defeated Team B.A.D.

wwe rawTeam BCP are on commentary during the match. Naomi and Alicia Fox start things, off with Fox applying a headlock. Naomi hits some forearm shots and then runs the ropes. Fox hits a backbreaker and gets a quick two count. Brie kicks her down and applies an arm bar. Naomi tags in Sasha, much to the delight of the crowd. Quick double team maneuver and Naomi gets back into the ring. Brie hits a spinebuster and then whips Naomi to the corner. She connects with a nice kick from the middle rope as we head to a commercial.

Back from break and Sasha is applying a headlock onto Nikki. She hits a clothesline and gets a two count. Sasha hits a cheap shot and then Tamina kicks Nikki in the head. Banks is on her back and slugs away with elbows. Brie gets the tag and hits some dropkicks and kicks to Banks in the chest. Brie hits another dropkick and misses into the corner. She connects with a Missile dropkick and Tamina comes in with a massive clothesline. She misses a kick and Brie rolls her up for the win.  Team B.A.D attacks afterwards and Team PCB get into the mix. All hell breaks loose and Team PCB stand tall. Charlotte spears Brie and B.A.D and PCB face off in the ring. 

Solid bout between the 6 Divas on Raw. I really enjoyed how much offense each woman got, not burying any of the talent. I felt the impact of Tamina was very strong and much needed in a stable that has very similar Divas like Naomi and Sasha. As for the PCB, they struggled on the mic. I am not sure why, but they seemed shy and Paige was the only one that seemed comfortable in that role. I just love how WWE continues to give them the opportunity and they have not yet dropped the ball. Solid work!

The New Day defeated Los Matadores

Kofi jumps and then gets flipped over and lands on his feet. Dropkick and hurricanranna on Kingston, but Big E slams him down and he tags Kofi in and they go back and forth with tags and more kicks in the corner. Reversals back and forth and Diego trying to tag in Fernando. He gets in and unleashes spinning heel kicks and then chops Kofi in the chest. He tells Kofi to stop and yells Ole! He kicks BIg E and Woods moves Kofi. He catches El Torito and then Big E blind tags in and hits the Big Ending double team for the win.

We find out that Los Matadores, Lucha Dragon and The New Day will all get a shot at Prime Time Players at SummerSlam. Much like I said last week, the lack of legit tag teams stems from injuries (Kidd and Uso). Titus and Darren SHOULD rretain, but do not be surprised if New Day somehow picks up the win. Either way, I see these two as the only teams that should win and could win. It makes no sense for Lucha or Matadores to really walk away as champions when they need to focus more on their development as characters.
