WWE Raw Deal February 10 review

It’s WWE Raw featuring Logan Paul against Rey Mysterio, Bayley facing Lyra Valkyria, CM Punk on the show, and more.

This is the Raw Deal for episode #1655 of Monday Night Raw. It’s taking place at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Follow me on Twitter/X @johnreport, friend me on Facebook, or chat with me on the Bluesky App as well. Let’s get to it.

There were arrivals shown from earlier in the day of Rey Mysterio, Logan Paul, Lyra Valkyria, Bayley and AJ Styles.

Jey Uso made his entrance from the back part of the arena. Jey started Raw and Smackdown last week and he’s starting Raw again this week. The fans were going crazy for Jey doing the arm-swinging motion meaning there was a lot of yeeting going on.

The Raw commentary team of Michael Cole and Pat McAfee were yeeting with Jey Uso as well.

The Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso was in the ring ready to talk. After Jey’s music stopped, the fans chanted “one more time” which led to more yeeting from Jey and the fans. Jey went to the commentary table to do more yeeting from there. The fans loved it.

Jey Uso Attacked By GUNTHER

While Jey was yeeting on the commentary table, the World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER showed up and tripped up Jey on the table. Gunther gave Jey a belly-to-back suplex onto the hood of the commentary table. Jey tried to fight back, but Gunther sent him into the ring and Gunther hit Jey with a boot to the face. Gunther gave Jey a Powerbomb on the WWE logo in the middle of the ring. Gunther grabbed Jey by the head and told him “don’t do it” with Cole thinking that Gunther was saying don’t pick him for WrestleMania. Gunther knocked over some security guys and Gunther hit Jey with another Powerbomb.

After Gunther walked near the entrance area, Jey Uso had a microphone in the ring. Jey Uso said that maybe he shouldn’t say this. Jey: “Me and you at WrestleMania.” The fans cheered.

Gunther went down to the ring, so Jey attacked Gunther with punches to knock Gunther off the apron to the floor. Jey hit a dive over the top rope onto Gunther and the security guys on the floor. Gunther was taken away by security and WWE officials while Jey was at ringside looking happy about his decision.

Analysis: It’s official for WrestleMania 41 with Jey Uso challenging GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Title. That was expected and I assume it will be a title change with Jey getting the win at WrestleMania. I thought the segment was very effective in terms of showing how personal the rivalry has become and they will have two more months to build up to it.

A video aired from last week’s Raw when Rhea Ripley punched Liv Morgan to give Liv a DQ win over IYO SKY. It was an accident by Ripley helping Liv win a match.

Rhea Ripley, the Women’s World Champion, was interviewed by Cathy Kelley backstage. Cathy mentioned that Rhea felt bad about costing IYO SKY the Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match by accident. Ripley trashed Charlotte Flair calling herself the top girl, who has yet to make her WrestleMania decision. Ripley said that Flair was wasting everybody’s time trying to stay relevant. Sky said that Ripley cost her WrestleMania and Sky said she was coming for her. Ripley said she can’t wait.

Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez entered for a tag team action. They went to a break for some fans. Liv did a promo bragging about how she has been in more Elimination Chamber matches than any woman in WWE. Raquel spoke in Spanish. Liv said that Raquel is going to beat Roxanne Perez next week to qualify for the Elimination Chamber and ensure Liv will win.

A video aired about the World Tag Team Champions the War Raiders will continue to assert their dominance as the pinnacle of the tag team division. They defend the titles against American Made’s The Creed Brothers.

Damage CTRL – IYO SKY & Dakota Kai vs. The Judgment Day – Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez

Kai is back in action after missing a couple of weeks due to a concussion. Raquel tossed Sky into the turnbuckle, Sky came back using her speed and Kai tagged in for a double team dropkick. Raquel used her power to knock down Kai with a clothesline. Kai kicked legal woman Liv in the head. Sky tagged in with an impressive backflip and a dropkick. Raquel got the tag and she nailed Sky with a boot to the head. Raquel and Liv made quick tags as they worked over Sky with strikes. Raquel splashed Sky followed by a powerslam. Liv tagged in with a hair pull bulldog for two. Raquel nailed Sky with a forearm to knock her down. Sky broke free to bring in Kai, who kicked Raquel several times to knock her down. Kai hit a running kick to the jaw for a two count. Kai stomped on the back of Raquel’s head by the ropes. Kai kicked Liv. Raquel sent Kai face first into the ring post as Raquel’s team took control. The show went to a break for some fans while the action continued. Raquel worked over Kai with elbows and a whip into the turnbuckle. Raquel sent Kai into the turnbuckle. Liv was back in with the Three Amigos suplexes on Kai, which drew boos. Liv hit an enziguri kick on Kai for two.

Raquel grounded Kai with a chinlock until Kai broke free and sent Raquel out of the ring. After Raquel got back in the ring, Kai kicked Raquel down. Sky tagged in with two chops and a dropkick on Liv. Sky sent both opponents out of the ring. Sky hit a suicide dive cross body block on both women. Sky went up top and hit Liv with a missile dropkick. Sky hit the Bullet Train double knee attack for two. Sky went up top, jumped off with a moonsault and Liv got her feet up to block. Sky hit a backbreaker for two. Raquel saved Liv from a corner attack, Raquel got the tag and Liv/Raquel hit the double knee attack off the turnbuckle for two. Raquel tried a Powerbomb on Liv onto Sky, but Sky got her knees up to block. Kai got the tag and hit a flipping backbreaker on Liv for two because Raquel made the save. Raquel used Liv as a weapon to knock both opponents down and Raquel slammed Liv onto Sky. Liv hit Oblivion on Kai for a two count because Sky was there with a running knee. Liv was bleeding from the right side of her head and the fans were chanting “this is awesome” for the great action. Raquel kicked Sky legal. Kai sent Raquel into the turnbuckle and Kai hit a big kick on Raquel. Liv hit a Codebreaker on Kai. Liv rolled up Kai for two. Liv hit an enziguri kick. Sky rolled through onto Morgan and Sky stomped on Liv’s ribs. Sky kicked Liv in the head. Sky went up top and hit Over The Moonsault on Liv for the pinfall win after 14 minutes.

Winners by pinfall: Damage CTRL – IYO SKY & Dakota Kai

Analysis: ***1/2 I thought it was a great match that was full of action, especially in that second half of the match. It was a nice win for IYO SKY after losing to Liv Morgan in a singles match last week. I think this is a way to set up Sky to challenge Rhea Ripley soon. Nice effort by Liv and Raquel in defeat with Liv getting busted open during the match. It is also a good thing for the women’s tag team division to have longer matches like this and great matches like this. I’m all for it.

It was mentioned by Michael Cole that Sami Zayn suffered spinal compression and extreme nerve damage after the attack by Kevin Owens last week on Raw.

The attack from last week’s Raw was shown when Kevin Owens gave his best friend Sami Zayn a package piledriver. Owens explained himself on Smackdown last week saying that Zayn did nothing to help him when Owens was in a Ladder Match against Cody Rhodes, but Sami helped Roman Reigns in the Royal Rumble. Owens told Zayn that he was going to pay.

Lyra Valkyria and Bayley were shown walking backstage because their match was next.

The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods did a promo during the break that was shown for those of us who don’t get a break. They were standing in the back part of the arena. Woods told Jackie Redmond to leave. Woods tried to speak, so the fans booed them loudly. Kofi wondered why Rey Mysterio had an Elimination Chamber qualifying match, but not them. Kofi said that he brought the aura back to the Chamber in 2019 and they are winners when it comes to the Chamber matches. Woods tried to say more, but Bayley’s music hit to end the promo.

The new season of WWE Superstar Sunday starts this Sunday with WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats), WWE Rivals and WWE Greatest Moments. A clip aired of GUNTHER on the WWE LFG show.

After Bayley made her entrance, we saw NXT’s Roxanne Perez at ringside.

George Kittle of the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers was sitting at ringside. George is a massive WWE fan who will probably step into the ring after he retires as a football player.

Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match: Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria

Lyra is the Women’s Intercontinental Champion, but this is not a title match. Bayley and Lyra exchanged holds on the mat for the first minute. Bayley knocked down Lyra with a shoulder tackle. Lyra did a backslide pin attempt for two. Lyra countered a move by using her legs to pin Bayley for a two count. Bayley decked Lyra with a forearm. Lyra sent Bayley out of the ring followed by Lyra hitting a dropkick through the ropes. They went to a break for some fans while the action continued. I’m going to take a break for a couple of minutes.

The match continued with Bayley applying a chinlock. Lyra came back with kick to the body. Lyra hit an enziguri kick to the head. Lyra hit a spin kick to the head. Lyra went for a middle turnbuckle, Bayley avoided it and Lyra hit the mat. Bayley hit a sunset flip bomb into the turnbuckle. It wasn’t great because Lyra barely had any room. Bayley jumped off the top rope with an elbow drop, but Lyra blocked it with her knees. Lyra hit a DDT and Bayley hit a Bayley to Belly for two. Bayley hit a running knee to the jaw for two. Bayley hit a spinning slam off the shoulders for a two count. Bayley sent Lyra to the apron leading to a neckbreaker against the middle ropes. Lyra blocked a move on the apron and Lyra hit a Tornado DDT on the floor. Lyra hit a Fisherman’s Suplex on the floor. Back in the ring, Lyra hit a Fisherman’s Suplex for two. Lyra went up top, Bayley went after her and Lyra knocked Bayley down with a forearm. Lyra headbutted Bayley a few times. Lyra jumped off the top with a leg drop to the back. Lyra countered Bayley into a pin attempt for two. Bayley sent Lyra back-first into the middle ropes. Lyra blocked a Roseplant, Lyra went for a cradle, Bayley countered it and Bayley was on top of Bayley while hooking a leg and that was enough for the pinfall win. It went about 12 minutes.

Winner by pinfall: Bayley

Analysis: *** The match was good, but they also had some spots where you could tell they were off a bit. I think they could have slowed down a bit because it felt like they were rushing at times. Bayley winning by doing a counter move puts over Lyra as somebody who is tough to beat.

After the match, Bayley picked up Lyra and Bayley gave Lyra a hug. Lyra raised Bayley’s hand as the winner.

The win by Bayley means she has joined the Women’s Elimination Chamber match with Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss and two more women.

Analysis: My pick so far is Bianca Belair, but the field isn’t complete yet.

A video package aired featuring Penta saying he has zero fear of any challenge. Penta called Ludwig Kaiser a coward and trashed Pete Dunne. Penta said he was coming for them. Penta ended it by saying “Cero Miedo” meaning no fear.

Ludwig Kaiser was interviewed by Cathy Kelley in the backstage area. Kaiser said that when he has his eyes on somebody, it is never done. Pete Dunne interrupted Kaiser saying that Dunne wasn’t there to help Kaiser last week. Dunne told Kaiser to watch what Dunne does to Penta next week. Kaiser said he’s all yours.

AJ Styles was shown walking to the ring, he stared at Ludwig Kaiser and Styles walked towards the ring.

There was a “McAfee Minute” featuring Pat McAfee talking to the crowd and hyping them up. This was during the break for some fans. Pat said it was Michael Cole’s birthday, which was a lie, but it’s something that Pat does all the time. The crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Cole. I looked it up and Cole’s birthday is December 8. Good job getting the crowd to sing at least.

Lyra Valkyria was backstage talking to American Alpha. American Made’s Ivy Nile and The Creed Brothers showed up, which led to Nile mocking Lyra for losing. Lyra told her to stay in her lane. Nile said she’ll come after her on her time and said that the Creeds are winning gold tonight. Nile and the Creeds left.

They showed multi-platinum country music singer Hardy at ringside.

Let’s Hear from AJ Styles

AJ Styles made his entrance and got a big ovation. It was the original AJ Styles theme song, which is good. The fans chanted his name. AJ Styles said that four months ago he came into this building with the biggest smile on his face because this was his stomping ground. Styles said he was going to get his career back on track, it was going to be awesome and he got injured. The crowd chanted “welcome back” for him. Styles said it was a career-threatening injury, but he still has gas left in the tank and he still has something left to prove. Styles said that he is here to tell the WWE Universe that he is back. Styles talked about how he has a long to-do list. Styles said he wanted to remind the locker room that he is still the “Phenomenal” AJ Styles.

Dominik Mysterio of The Judgment Day interrupted along with Carlito. Dominik said it has been a while since he has been on Raw, so things have changed a little. The fans were booing Dom a lot and an “AJ Styles” chant started again. Dom said that one thing that will always stay the same is that The Judgment Day runs Raw. The fans booed.

Styles said he knows exactly who they are. Styles said you’re right because things have changed while wondering where Damian Priest was. Styles mentioned there was no Rhea Ripley with them. Styles wondered where Finn was at and said he was doing something else. Styles mocked Carlito for wearing purple skinny jeans and Dominik Mysterio, who nobody likes. Styles said he likes Dominik’s work ethic, but just so you know you will always be Rey Mysterio’s punk ass kid. Dominik tried a punch, AJ blocked it and AJ hit a Pele Kick on Carlito. Dominik knocked AJ down, but AJ got back up and Dominik bailed to the floor. Styles hit Carlito with a forearm. Styles hit a springboard Phenomenal Forearm on Carlito.

Analysis: Welcome back AJ Styles to Raw. This was a good spot to bring back AJ since the Nashville crowd loved AJ due to his TNA history in that city. It should set up a Styles-Dominik match for next week.

A replay aired of Jey Uso getting attacked by Gunther. Jey said he would face Gunther at WrestleMania.

A graphic was shown to make it official. At WrestleMania 41, GUNTHER will defend the World Heavyweight Title against Jey Uso.

Seth Rollins Interview

Seth “Freakin” (or Franklin) Rollins was interviewed by Jackie Redmond on a platform in the back part of the arena. Jackie mentioned the Men’s Elimination Chamber match so far with John Cena, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre in the match. Jackie said that Rollins will get his shot to be in the Elimination Chamber when he faces Finn Balor on Raw next week in a qualifying match. Seth said that Jey Uso decided he’s going against Gunther at WrestleMania, so all eyes are on the Elimination Chamber where the winner will get to face Cody Rhodes for the WWE Title at WrestleMania. Rollins went over his nicknames. Finn Balor interrupted to say that all eyes are Rollins, but all people are seeing is the downfall of Rollins. Balor mentioned that Rollins lost to CM Punk and lost his mind at the Royal Rumble. Balor said what’s standing in his way is a guy that’s falling apart. Rollins said that they go back a long way. Rollins said that everybody knows they put on a show any time they are in a match. Rollins talked about how he had to get revenge on CM Punk and loose ends with Cody Rhodes. Rollins told Balor he was standing in his way, but after next week, Balor won’t be standing at all. Seth’s song played to end it.

Analysis: It was a solid promo from Rollins although there was nothing special about it. It was the usual from Rollins talking about what is ahead for him. I’ll go with Seth Rollins getting the win over Finn Balor next week.

Logan Paul and Rey Mysterio were shown separately as they prepared for their match.

The A-Town Down Under duo of Grayson Waller and Austin Theory were interviewed by Cathy Kelley. Waller and Theory both said that there will be a new NXT Champion referring to either of them. They mocked people like Sami Zayn, Alpha Academy and Sheamus for not winning the IC Title. Cathy cut the interview at that point.

They showed some photos of Pat McAfee in an NFL commercial.

AJ Styles was backstage talking to Raw GM Adam Pearce. Styles said he wanted this and Pearce said it’s official: Styles against Dominik Mysterio. After Pearce left, the Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker got in AJ’s face. Bron: “See you around.” Bron left.

Analysis: I like that Styles/Breakker tease.

They showed former NFL player Golden Tate with his kids at ringside. Country music singer Bailey Zimmerman was also at ringside.

World Tag Team Championships: War Raiders – Erik & Ivar vs. The Creed Brothers – Julius & Brutus Creed (w/Ivy Nile)

Ivar was getting beat up, he tagged in Erik and Erik hit an impressive German Suplex on Julius. Erik hit a uranage on Brutus. Quick tags by the champions leading to Erik giving Ivar a body slam on Julius. Ivar hit a running cross body block on Brutus on the floor. Erik hit Julius with a knee followed by a sitout Powerbomb. They went to a break for some fans and I will take a break as well.

The challengers were in control as Brutus smashed Erik with forearms. Julius gave Erik a suplex, Brutus got the tag and Julius slammed Brutus onto Erik for a two count. Erik broke free leading to Ivar getting the tag. Ivar hit a back body drop on Brutus along with a sidewalk slam and Ivar hit a cross body block. Ivar sat down on the chest on Brutus and Ivar hit a spinning heel kick on Julius. Ivar hit a running splash on Brutus followed by Ivar hitting a sitout Powerbomb for two. Erik hit a knee on Julius. The Raiders hit a double team powerslam and Erik got a two count. Julius pulled Erik off the apron and Brutus hit an Angle Slam on Ivar for a two count. Julius was back in, which led to Ivar doing a back flip off the ropes leading to a double elbow smash. Ivar went up top, Nile distracted Ivar, so Julius was there with a superplex. Brutus hit a top rope moonsault for two because Erik broke up the pin. Erik dumped Julius out of the ring. The fans chanted “this is awesome” for the exciting action. Erik and Brutus exchanged strikes leading to Erik hitting a huge forearm. Ivar went for a springboard attack, but Julius hit Ivar with a Tag Team Title and the referee saw it, so it was a DQ. It went about 12 minutes.

Winners by disqualification: The War Raiders

Analysis: *** They were on their way to having a good match, but it ended suddenly with a cheap finish. That will likely continue the story, which is fine with me.

After the match, Brutus hit Erik with a World Tag Team Title. The Creeds and Nile celebrated over the fallen War Raiders.

The Judgment Day was shown in their clubhouse. Finn Balor told Liv Morgan to listen to Finn. Dominik Mysterio said that Liv is already in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, Raquel will get in it and they have a Tag Team Title match. Dominik suggested they add a new member to the group. Live said it too, but Balor said no and Balor said he’s going to beat Seth Rollins and go on to Elimination Chamber to become World Heavyweight Champion.

Rhea Ripley went up to IYO SKY and Dakota Kai outside the arena. Ripley said that she didn’t owe Sky anything, but she’s going to give Sky a shot at the Women’s World Title on the Raw after Elimination Chamber (March 3rd). Sky was happy about that. Ripley left.

Analysis: That Ripley-Sky match was obviously being set up and now it’s official. It will be a great match.

CM Punk made his entrance. They went to a break for some fans. The time during the break featured Punk greeting fans around the ringside area. Punk talked to the announcers to kill some time. Punk hugged George Kittle at ringside too.

Next week on Raw:

* Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match: Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Finn Balor

* Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match: Roxanne Perez vs. Raquel Rodriguez

* Penta vs. Pete Dunne

* AJ Styles vs. “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio

A clip aired from the WWE LFG show featuring CM Punk on the show talking to the trainees. Punk wanted somebody to cut a promo.

Let’s Hear from CM Punk

CM Punk said that it is obvious post Royal Rumble that we are on the road to WrestleMania. Punk said a few weeks ago he thought he would win the Rumble and he admits that sometimes he talks too much. Punk said he didn’t win the Royal Rumble, so he’s a bit disappointed in himself. Punk said he’s not mad at Jey Uso because he likes watching his peers accomplish their goals. Punk said we saw Jey declare he’s going after Gunther’s World Heavyweight Title. Punk mentioned going after Cody Rhodes for the WWE Title. Punk said that he’s already qualified for the Elimination Chamber. Punk talked about how he’s no longer upset about John Cena calling his shot in the Chamber match. Punk said that the bad news for Cena is that Cena will see Punk in the Chamber match, and he’ll beat Cena and win the Chamber match. Punk said that the other man to qualify for Elimination Chamber is that piece of garbage Drew McIntyre, who is no longer on Raw because he ran over to Smackdown because Punk beat him so badly in Hell in a Cell, so what is he going to do inside Elimination Chamber. Punk was confident about beating Seth Rollins or Finn Balor as well. Punk said he has never been more confident in his entire life. Punk pointed at the WrestleMania 41 sign. Pat said that WrestleMania 41 belongs to one man: CM Punk.

Analysis: It was a confident promo from CM Punk saying he was going to win the Elimination Chamber. I think Punk winning is a possibility, but I’m going go with John Cena as my pick.

Logan Paul made his entrance for his match. Paul said he didn’t even know whose music it was, which is funny based on recent news. Paul is the man who eliminated Punk in the Royal Rumble match. Paul said he sees why they call him a punk and he has better names to call Punk, but he can’t say them on TV. Paul said that he doesn’t understand why you boo Paul and cheer Punk. Paul mentioned he tossed Punk over the top rope in the Royal Rumble match. Paul told Punk he had Punk’s number at the Rumble and Paul said he’ll have his number at the Elimination Chamber. Paul said that tonight was Rey Mysterio’s time for his 15 minutes of fame when he loses to Logan Paul.

Punk said that with the way they boo him, you’d think this was Dominik Mysterio. Punk said that he forgot about Logan possibly being in the match. Punk told Logan to not worry about Punk because you gotta worry about the legend Rey Mysterio. Punk said if you get by Rey then Punk will see him in Toronto and Punk will put him to sleep.

Analysis: It was an interesting choice to have Paul eliminate Punk from the Royal Rumble. Maybe it’s going to lead to a match between them at some point, but I don’t know if that will be at WrestleMania.

Rey Mysterio made his entrance, he shook hands with Punk and Punk went to the back. The show went to a break there as the show continued. Logan Paul did a promo saying he does this because he loved it. Paul said he loved taking the US Title from Rey and he’s about to take his Elimination Chamber spot.

Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Logan Paul

Rey was in control with an armbar. Paul did two leapfrogs, he tried a monkey flip and Rey kicked Paul to stop that. There were “Logan sucks” chants for Paul. Rey charged at Paul, who hit a spinning stomach breaker. Paul sent Rey into the turnbuckle leading to punches to the body. Paul hit a gutwrench powerslam for two. Rey ran the ropes, then he spun around Paul and Rey landed on Paul. After Paul charged, Rey held the top rope down and Paul bumped over the top to the floor. Rey did a slingshot dive over the top onto Paul on the floor. Paul gave Rey an impressive fallaway slam off the middle turnbuckle with Paul taking the bump as well almost like a Spanish Fly. It got a two count for Paul. Rey and Paul fought on the floor where Rey sent Paul crashing into the barricade. Back in the ring, Paul used his power to give Rey a military press onto the mat. Paul hit a running splash for two. Paul sent Rey into the turnbuckle as the action continued for all fans.

Paul was in control with a waistlock takedown. Rey stomped on Paul’s foot to break free, Rey said “knee” and that led to Paul hitting a knee smash to the ribs. Paul sent Rey out of the ring, which led to Rey landing on his feet on the floor. Rey sent Paul into the barricade. Paul caught Rey leading to Paul slamming Rey ribs first into the barricade. Paul grabbed Rey with a waistlock and teased a move into the steel steps, but Rey countered with a hurricanrana into the steel steps. They were back in the ring where Rey countered a Paul move and Rey hit a Tornado DDT for two. Rey sent Paul into the ropes so Rey was going for the 619, but Paul was back up with the boot to the face. Rey avoided a move from Paul and Rey hit a sitout Powerbomb on Paul for two. Rey connected with the 619 kick. Rey went up top, he went for the Dropping The Dime splash and Paul got the knees up to block. Paul nailed Rey with a punch to the face. Paul hit the Paulverizer spinning DDT for the pinfall win after about 17 minutes.

Winner by pinfall: Logan Paul

Analysis: ***1/4 A good match that never felt that great, but they worked well together and had some impressive counter moves throughout the match. I didn’t think Rey had a shot here. This was about putting over Paul and having him advance to the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match. I liked the finishing sequence by Paul to get the win.

The win by Logan Paul means that he is going to be in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match with John Cena, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre and two more wrestlers.

After the match, Paul left the ring and he was talking to the camera about how great he is. Rey Mysterio was getting up in the ring and that’s when he was attacked from behind by The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Raw ended there.

Analysis: The second week in a row with a cheap attack to end the show. I guess you could say booker man Triple H likes that sort of thing.

This week’s Raw runtime was 2 hours, 29 minutes. That was like last week.
