The John Report: The WWE Raw Deal 01/30/23 Review – TJR Wrestling - TJR Wrestling

This week’s WWE Raw included Royal Rumble match winners Cody Rhodes & Rhea Ripley, plus the road to Elimination Chamber began.

The commentary team plugged what is coming up on the show including Elimination Chamber qualifying matches: Johnny Gargano vs. Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler vs. Bronson Reed and Seth “Freakin” Rollins facing Chad Gable up next.

Analysis:*** It was another good match on the show with a big man-little man story featuring Corbin doing a bunch of power moves, Gargano countering a lot and finding a way to win after Lumis prevented JBL from interfering.

The win means that Bronson Reed is in the US Title match at Elimination Chamber along with champion Austin Theory, Seth Rollins, Johnny Gargano and two others.

Analysis: I think a match at Elimination Chamber that makes a lot of sense is Edge & Beth Phoenix vs. Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley.

* US Championship Elimination Chamber Match: Austin Theory (c) vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Bronson Reed vs. Angelo Dawkins/Damian Priest vs. Montez Ford/Elias
