Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is Monday night! The last Monday before Christmas! I’m sure for some people this is like the exact opposite of a holiday… for me, it’s uh, any other Monday really. Which means it’s preview time! I’m Jordan Huie of the Overtimer and tonight… I’m cheatin’~! WWE Raw is tonight and as usual they only see fit to give me a couple of things to work with but that’s fine! I don’t need to wait for them to officially announce things when the whole show’s been taped all along for a whole week!
This past Friday saw a Christmassy SmackDown and it looks like tonight’s Raw will be more of the same. The Revival and Heavy Machinery put on a pretty fun Miracle On 34th Street Fight and here’s a singles follow-up of sorts.
Street Fight: Kevin Owens vs. Mojo Rawley
So a few weeks ago, during Kevin Owens’ hunt for the AOP, Mojo Rawley just kinda tried to troll him and got slapped onto the ground for it. Later in the night, Mojo – curiously backed up by Sami Zayn – confronted Owens for his actions and ended up catching a stunner for his troubles.
This is hardly a feud but a good little side action to keep Owens looking strong by giving him an easily beatable annoyance. And I’m sure this match will be little more than an excuse to let Owens kick the crap out of him. Of course… it is no DQ and Owens has Seth Rollins and the AOP to deal with, potentially. Aaaaand this is a company that leans much harder on getting on heat than ever letting a babyface look cool…
But hey! It’s Christmas! If Heavy Machinery can get a strong victory for like, the actual first time, surely Kevin Owens can just straight-up destroy Mojo Rawley. Owens over.
