Every Friday, WWE Superstars is aired on the WWE Network, at 8pm UK time and 3PM EST. And while its not a must watch show on the Network, it is entertaining and good if you want to catch up on the major going on’s on RAW. Once again the commentary team is the duo of Tom Phillips and Corey Graves.
Match 1-Sin Cara Vs Braun Strowman.
This week’s episode of Superstars kicked off with Sin Cara and Braun Strowman going one on one. Over the last several months Strowman has been beating wrestlers in quick matches on RAW, so it’s interesting to see him compete in a sightly longer match here on Superstars. Sin Cara returns to Superstars, having become a regular on the show since the draft.
Strowman controlled most of the match with Sin Cara getting very little offence. He did get a couple shots here and there including a dive to the outside. However, Strowman dominated the match and walked away with the win.
Winner-Braun Strowman.
Next we got a look at the Highlight Reel on this past week’s RAW. Chris Jericho’s guest was Sami Zayn. The segment turned into the two insulting each other until Jericho hit Zayn in the head with his phone and then the Codebreaker to end the segment. Tt was then announced that at Clash Of Champions Jericho and Zayn will go one on one, which is sure to be a great match.
Next we got a look at the Triple Threat match on RAW as Sasha Banks, Bayley and Dana Brooke competed for a match against Charlotte at Clash Of Champions. Sasha Banks won the match to be named the number one contender to the RAW Women’s Championship.
Match 2-Titus O’Neil and Curtis Axel Vs Neville and Darren Young.
Axel and Neville are back on Superstars after their match against each other last week while O’Neil and Young have been feuding on RAW recently. Some people don’t like thrown together tag team match but I do as it gives you a glimpse of whether or not two guys would make a good team. After this match i can see both teams as potential long term tag teams.
These guys had a good and fun tag match, keeping the match entertaining throughout. One of the highlights of the match has to be the near-tag where Neville almost tagged in Young before Axel threw Neville out of the ring. This was only to have O’Neil then throw him into the barricade. The match came to an end with Young hitting the Gut Check on Axel for the win.
Winner-Neville and Young.
To close the show we got a look at this past week’s RAW main event as Kevin Owens took on Roman Reigns. If Reigns won he would be added to the WWE Universal Championship match at Clash Of Champions. The match originally ended with Owens winning by DQ after Seth Rollins came out and attacked him, however RAW GM Mick Foley came out and restarted the match. In the end Owens defeated Reigns as Rusev came out causing a distraction which allowed Owens to score the win in a great match.
Closing Thoughts
This was a good episode of WWE Superstars. While the Sin Cara vs. Strowman match wasn’t anything impressive, the main event was great with all four stars killing it. Thrown in were two good RAW matches and a good edition of the Highlight Reel to make a very enjoyable show. While Superstars isn’t a must see show, I would recommend it to anyone who has the WWE Network.
