Last night was WWE Raw. So, you know what that means. It is now time for another edition of the Highs & Lows. WrestleMania got two more matches, love is in the air, in-ring debuts and we also saw new champions on the show. Of course, there were also some disappointing moments. Let’s look at them all. I would once again like to thank Simon Miller of WhatCulture Wrestling for this idea. Let us kick things off with the lows and we shall end on a high note.
The Lows from WWE Raw
Miz and Logan Paul’s Homecoming
Last night’s episode of WWE Raw took place in Cleveland, Ohio. The hometown of Miz, his tag team partner Logan Paul and the Special Guest, Jerry ‘The King‘ Lawler. All three did come out to loud pops. Miz came out first, appreciated the fans showing respect. He praised Cleveland and then introduced Logan Paul. Then out came Jerry Lawler. Lawler wanted WrestleMania to take place in Cleveland. Instantly Miz turned from the hometown hero to a classic heel. The crowd was confused, the people watching at home were confused and so was Logan Paul. This segment made no sense and had no purpose for it.
“Cleveland isn’t exactly a #WrestleMania city… Winners leave Cleveland.”

The Women need to be booked better
We had two women’s matches last night on WWE Raw. One was the 24/7 Title match between the Champion Dana Brooke and Tamina. The match was boring and an awkward counter to a Boston Crab allowed Brooke to get the win.

The Women Tag Champs had a match against the make-shift team of Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. This itself was so random and to make the women’s tag division weaker, it was announced that if Ripley and Morgan win the match on WWE Raw, they will be added to the tag team title match at WrestleMania.
Carmella buries the tag titles for the second week in a row. Carmella decided to forget the match and chat with her Fiancé Corey Graves at commentary. This allowed Ripley to take advantage and got the win. But this makes no sense, Carmella does not care about a title that she has? Just book it better WWE.
Um hellooooooo …. This is no time for Season 2 of #CoreyAndCarmella, @CarmellaWWE!@ZelinaVegaWWE @WWEGraves #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/DGvDqPMagZ

The Highs from WWE Raw
Omos wants Commander Azeez
Apollo Crews wrestled the Giant Omos. Throughout the match, Omos was locked eyes on Commander Azeez. Finally, after earning the win, Omos and Azeez had a stare-down. The crowd’s reaction itself should be an answer to why this match between Omos and Commander Azeez should take place at WrestleMania.

Edge explains himself
This was somewhat self-explanatory, Edge came out and said that the only reason for him to attack AJ Styles was just so he could guarantee the Bull-Dog in AJ Styles comes out.

An impressive debut
Tommaso Ciampa teamed up with the NXT Champion to take on the Dirty Dawgs. It was a really good match and Breakker has an impressive main roster debut. He is the 5th NXT Superstar to debut on the main roster as the NXT Champion.

New Tag Team Champions Crowned
A triple threat tag team match for the Raw Tag Team titles was on the line. It was an excellent match. Superkicks, slams, tope suicidas and an impressive Tower Bomb from Otis. Everything was impressive.

Chad Gable looked to get a win by hitting a moonsault but he got caught with an impressive RKO.

Seth Rollins hit the stomp on Chad Gable, Riddle ran in and pushed Rollins to the outside and pinned Gable for the win. RKBro is going to WrestleMania to defend the tag team titles.
#RKBro did it!!!!!

Kevin Owens’ Smart Path to WrestleMania
Kevin Owens was upset that he was unable to compete at WrestleMania. After pondering over the loss in the title match, Owens finally got a clear path to have a spot on WrestleMania. Kevin Owens called out Stone Cold Steve Austin. Owens wanted Austin as the guest on the KO Show at WrestleMania. My guess is that the KO Show will lead into a match between Austin and Owens.
Stone Cold Steve Austin has also accepted the challenge.
OH HELL YEAH!@SteveAustinBSR has accepted @FightOwensFight‘s #WrestleMania 38 invitation! pic.twitter.com/7x5t41nDBg
