DA' HELL HAPPENED #21: WWE Monday Night RAW & WWE SmackDown Live, November 7/8 2016

Hello everyone! Welcome to another edition of Da' Hell Happened, featuring the review of this week's very special RAW and SmackDown Live. WWE's weekly flagship shows were taped for the first time in Glasgow, Scotland, at the SSE Hydro. Let's see the highlights of this week!

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW - NOVEMBER 7, 2016

MATCH OF THE NIGHT: FATAL 5 WAY

When someone tells you all 5 stars from Team RAW, including Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins, will face each other in the main event of RAW, it's guaranteed to be the match of the night. And so it was. Exciting, very well paced, individual spots very well made. Perfect main event for RAW.


MVP OF THE NIGHT: BAYLEY

Any of those 5 male stars could have been the MVP of the Night, especially Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins, or even Scotland's own Noam Dar, who debuted in front of a raucous crowd who screamed by hearing Dar's song, but the real MVP was Bayley. Did you hear the crowd coming alive for the Hugger? What an awesome moment, hearing all those people singing for her, and going nuts for her. It's definitely her moment to step up and do something for that RAW Women's Championship.



DA' HELL HAPPENED MOMENT OF THE SHOW: Alicia Fox's add to the Women's team

The commentators did a pretty well job reminding us Alicia Fox's experience in the WWE; in the end, it's true: it's been a lot of years since she first appeared in the company. The problem with this is her experience doesn't matter when her career wasn't that better as a whole. Yes, she's been a champion before, but she's definitely not an established legend or future hall of famer, and should be considering the amount of years she's been in the WWE. 


WWE SMACKDOWN LIVE - NOVEMBER 8, 2016

MATCH OF THE NIGHT (HONORABLE MENTIONS): Dean Ambrose, Kane & James Ellsworth vs. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper & Randy Orton

Great main event performed by these 6 men. In the end, the determining factor was SmackDown's mascot, James Ellsworth, who tagged himself in after being told (or advised) not to, and quickly being caught by Bray Wyatt and suffering "Sister Abigail". Still, there was a better match...

MATCH OF THE NIGHT (THE REAL MAIN EVENT): SmackDown Women's Championship match - Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss

Even though something happened worthy of the "Da' Hell Happened Moment of the Show", this was still an awesome match. It was the first time the WWE Universe was able to see how well Alexa progressed since she has arrived in NXT, and it was the first time the Universe got to see Alexa wrestle a long match, seeing details from her never seen before on SmackDown Live. She's so good right now. And Becky brings that straight fire and intensity and agility and charisma to the match. She's fun to watch, and an incredible athlete. The ending was smart, and shows there will be Becky vs. Alexa 2.0.


MVP OF THE NIGHT: The whole SmackDown Live Men Team 

Considering there was no one that shined more than others, this is a general recognition to the SmackDown Live men's team for having strengthened their team more than everyone thought, and warning RAW of the threat.



DA' HELL HAPPENED MOMENT OF THE SHOW: Was WWE in Japan instead of Scotland?

Boy oh boy, I don't know. Most of the times, British crowds are on fire and very loud. This time, the Scottish crowd was like the Japanese crowd, which is not a bad crowd at all, but it's very silenced and people are not used to that in the WWE. 

So with this I wrap up this week's Da' Hell Happened. Next week it will be the last shows before Survivor Series, featuring a face-to-face segment between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg and the historic 900th episode of SmackDown Live, with Ziggler vs. Miz for the Intercontinental Champion, Edge returning with the "Cutting Edge", and Undertaker making his first appearance since WrestleMania. See you all next week!
