In the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, WWE featured several qualifying matches for both the Men’s and Women’s Elimination Chamber matches, adding stakes to the Road to WrestleMania.
Additionally, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins engaged in a heated in-ring promo, intensifying their rivalry as they eye the grandest stage of them all.
Meanwhile, the main event spotlighted a clash between Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn, with Zayn seeking to rebound from a series of losses and regain momentum.
However, former WWE writer Vince Russo didn’t hold back his criticism of the show’s direction, particularly regarding the choice of the main event.
Russo questioned WWE’s decision to feature Zayn and Nakamura in the main event slot. He also expressed frustration over the absence of Roman Reigns and The Rock from the episode.
“You’re gonna have Sami Zayn and Nakamura in the main event. I swear bro, I would rather stick my head in a blender than sit here and watch that match for 30 minutes. And you can’t get Roman Reigns and The Rock on your show?” Russo exclaimed, highlighting his dissatisfaction with the match selection. [6:07 – 6:23]
As the main event unfolded, a pivotal moment occurred when Drew McIntyre’s distraction paved the way for Shinsuke Nakamura to capitalize with the Kinshasa on Zayn, securing a crucial victory and further advancing his own narrative within the WWE landscape.
