Ups & Downs: WWE Raw Review (May 11)

Simon Miller delivers a candid and often humorous review of WWE Raw from May 11, 2026, calling it a 'perfectly fine' show that lacks excitement but remains watchable. He praises the standout moments, particularly the chaotic and absurd El Grande Americano vs. Dominic Mysterio match, which he calls 'ludicrous' but 'so fun' and 'so stupid' in the best way. The highlight of the night is Jacob Fatou’s (Jacob A2) explosive return, where he dismantles Jey and Jimmy Uso and nearly defeats Roman Reigns, setting up a potential title clash. Simon also applauds the emotional farewell to Asuka, calling it a 'last Asuka up' moment, and lauds the Oba Femi Open Challenge, calling him 'the best' and 'the coolest thing I've ever seen.' However, he criticizes the lack of momentum in the women’s tag team division, the underutilization of Austin Theory’s insults, and the overuse of finishers like the surprise roll-up and the Soul Snatcher, which have lost their impact. Despite some structural issues and missed opportunities, Simon concludes that Raw was enjoyable and worth watching, especially with the promise of bigger things to come at Money in the Bank and SummerSlam.
