WWE RAW 1st February 2016 - 3 Things that worked

Miz did what he does best – get heat!Much of the latest episode of Raw revolved around the title picture and that’s why this episode worked mostly because the main storyline that they’ve got going was executed pretty well.The particular interaction between Brock Lesnar and Dean Ambrose worked in spades. It was something that was quite gutsy on Ambrose’s part and works extremely well for the babyface.Lesnar was his imposing self, amused by Ambrose’s proclamations. Other than that, there was little that worked entirely so well as much as how Ambrose and Brock Lesnar kicked off Raw to give one of the better opening segments of the year.Here are the 3 things that worked for Raw-

#1 Neither crazy nor stupid

A very well executed confrontation

Dean Ambrose looked Brock Lesnar in the eye and asked to be taken to Suplex City and quite characteristically told him, that in spite of the beating that awaits him at the hands of the Beast, he will still rise.

He’s a survivor and if there’s anything that his independent background tells us, then it’s the fact that he’s faced worse situations than being in the ring with an anomaly like Lesnar.

The story that unraveled between Ambrose and Lesnar was quite intriguing and very well executed.  It was another moment to mark the absolute awesomeness that Ambrose can exude on the mic.
