WWE Monday Night RAW: 3rd February 2014 - Superstar ratings

Randy Orton

It was just another day at the office for the WWE creative team as they put on a Raw which was a mixture of some great matches and some not so great ones.

The buildup to the Elimination Chamber continued in all force as most of the matches seem to be set at this point. The heel trio showdown rocked the crowd this time also as both the teams stood toe to toe in terms of matches as well as promos.

Batista also got his hands dirty again with Alberto Del Rio while some of the elimination chamber contestants got a well needed momentum boost. All these buildups were capped off with an amazing encounter between Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan which was by far one of the best matches of the young year.

There were a lot of talking points on this week’s Raw but let’s take a look at how the wrestlers faired with the superstar ratings.

Zack Ryder- 3/10

Zack Ryder

It’s not every time that you see Zack Ryder on Raw but when he does appear he makes a losing effort that doesn’t make any point.

And this week, it was ever worse as Ryder went against Titus O’Neil, who recently turned heel. Ryder has the ability to get the crowd going but that seemed of no use since the creative booked him in a squash match.

Kofi Kingston- 4/10

Kofi Kingston

Being part of a makeshift team to entertain the fans was the only task given to Kingston this week. The highly energetic Kofi did that job in some sort of style and there is nothing that needs to be said about that.

He is one of those superstars that will put on entertaining matches every night in and night out without getting any big push, this week was no different as Kofi ended up on the losing side.

Rey Mysterio – 4/10

Rey Mysterio

A seasoned veteran and a former World Heavyweight champion Rey Mysterio has been put into random matches ever since he made his return in to the squared circle.

The WWE doesn’t seem to be interested in giving him any sort of storyline and he remains among the list of superstars which has been utilized in a minimum manner by the creative.

Titus O’Neil- 4.5/10

Titus O’Neil

Titus seems to be well set on the new character given to him as he was seen ruthless in the match against Zack Ryder.

There was also a tease of a potential feud with The Miz which could well be an interesting clash. But for now the win looks like a good start for the new push. Darren Young could also be thrown into the mix to add more dimension.

The Rhodes Brothers- 4.5/10

Rhodes Brothers

For the first time in many months, the Rhodes brothers were seen involved in a match that was well below their regular standards.

It’s a doubt to whether they will get another shot at the titles any time soon as they took another defeat this week. The steel cage match didn’t carry any sort of heat and the tag team division looks like its heading for a downward spiral after the exchange of tag titles.

The New Age Outlaws- 4.5/10

The New Age Outlaws

As weeks pass, the fact that The New Age Outlaws are slowing down becomes clearer to the WWE Universe.

The Attitude Era degenerates have not done anything so far to make look their title win credible. A Steel Cage match at Raw against the Rhodes Brothers carried a lot of expectations but the match failed to live up to the hype as it went nowhere.

A lackluster win doesn’t do anything good for the Outlaws and the company needs to rethink their strategy at the moment.
