Isenberg Reacts: WWE Raw Reaction “Heel Heat = Divas Success”

By Josh Isenberg

Naomi vs. Natalya

wwe rawSide Russian leg sweep and a dropkick gives Nattie the upper hand. She gets kicked in the head and Naomi follows up with a kick in the chest. Paige is seen watching in the back and Natalya gets thrown into the corner. Naomi ducks a clothesline and hits a running one of her own. 

Nattie picks up the pace, hits a kick in the face and a big clothesline. She takes down Naomi and Banks distracts her for Naomi to pick up the win. 

The numbers game cost Nattie and that was absolutely the right decision. Natalya looks to be in excellent shape. This needs to be the beginning of her going on her own. Nattie was a really good heel when Kidd/Smith were tag champions a few years ago. She can make this work and can be different. I expect more of her in the future and she is a valuable piece that has been missing to really develop and enhance more Divas to her level.

Building Up Big Show

WWE has Big Show vs. Brock Lesnar at the MSG special in less than two weeks. So, what does WWE do? They put him in a match to make him look dominant. He faces Cesaro and ends up winning with the Knockout Punch.

  1. Big Show should NOT be facing Brock Lesnar. It is a terrible move, especially since the last time they fought Big Show got crushed. Royal Rumble showcased Brock Lesnar’s ability and completely buried Big Show (if he even needed to be buried even more). Many would rather see Lesnar vs. Cesaro or Lesnar vs ANYONE ELSE.
  2. I feel for Cesaro. The guy is so good, yet he is used in THIS capacity? To get someone over who will have 1 match that no many people will care for? To get Big Show over? When will Cesaro ever get his due?
