Superstars of the show - WWE RAW 12/08/13

Kofi Kingston

Just back last week after a 2-month hiatus, Kofi hasn’t taken that long to get into the swing of things. Alongwith RVD, he is the most exciting superstar on the show and his combo of athleticism and unorthodox moves were on full display on RAW.

He first faced off against Del Rio, who is on an incredible roll off late as a uber-aggressive champ with a pronounced mean streak. During the course of the match, Kingston took a scary-looking reverse body suplex off the top rope which looked like it had an effect on him for the rest of the match. But he showed off his arsenal of moves well before tapping out to the cross-armbreaker.

Later on, he featured in his speciality – a battle royal. True to his nature and past performances, Kofi pulled off another incredible close call from elimination before finally being eliminated.

The Usos

In the match of the night, the Usos defeated the Real Americans in fast-paced back and forth battle. I love the Usos as they are a throwback to the old tag-teams which aren’t a product of the management putting two random guys together to make a team.

Jimmy and Jay are real-life brothers and their chemistry as a team and their crisp athletic work is extremely entertaining.

Monday night, they capped off their trilogy with Cesaro and Swagger by picking up a smart win via their ingenious ways, much to the dismay of Zeb Coulter.

The match was what it had the potential to be, a stiff and fast-paced wrestling match with a cool-looking spot where the Usos did a tandem double-dive onto the Real Americans. The win was by a quick roll-up and leaves the room open for this feud to continue, which I am all for.
