WWE Monday Night Raw: 19th May, 2014 - Superstar Ratings

The London fans that were still picking up from the celebrations of Arsenal winning the FA Cup got a taste of some WWE as Raw had its tent set up in the Queens land.As usual there were a lot of questions that the WWE needed to answer but the fans were left a bit disappointing in the way it all turned out. The future of the WWE title wasnt cleared as the company decided to push it further to next week.A beat the clock tournament was something exciting as far as the midcard was concerned when it was the usual exchanges in the top two storylines. It was just near the average shows that WWE manage to put up and here is the Superstar Ratings for the same.

#19 3MB- 4

3MB managed to adapt into the Union jack gimmick this week as they were in London. But they were still the jobber squad without any change as Heath Slater fell flat against Rusev. The feud with Los Matadores seemed a lot better compared to the squash which pretty much buried these guys further.

#18 Fandango and Layla 4

When it started, it seemed like that the WWE was going to throw in the dancing duo into some random mixed tag team match but turned out to be something better. After the comic storyline with Santino, Fandango will now have a more exciting storyline to be part of as two hot girls will be fighting to get him.

#17 Alexandre Rusev- 4.5

After a promising development last week, Rusev was back in action with his squash matches which the fans are starting to get bored of. The only part that makes Rusev tick apparently is Lana and WWE should think about giving him some meaningful opponents soon so that they won’t end up with a big guy who makes no impact.

#16 Summer Rae- 4.5

London saw a great return in the form of Summer Rae who instantly sparked a feud with Layla. The cat fight that they had in the ring was something that related to the days back in the Attitude Era. And clearly it is only the start of the angle between and it will be worth looking forward to.

#15 Alberto Del Rio- 5

It wasn’t a big surprise in seeing Alberto Del Rio being a bit sloppy in his match against Rob Van Dam. He has no direction whatsoever at the moment and the company is not even willing to give him a face turn that might shake things up for the better.

#14 Ryback -5

As Ryback faced Big E this week, there were no glimpses of the intensity that he had against Sheamus in the last edition. Maybe this made the match look weak since both the superstars weren’t showing the urge to be up there to get a shot at the title.

#13 Mark Henry- 5

It was another typical outing for Henry who lost out to Dolph Ziggler without much to talk about the match. He clearly is on a downward spiral after the feud he had with John Cena and WWE apparently doesn’t know what to do with him. It was some quality television time nevertheless for the World’s strongest man.

#12 Big E 5.5

Langston was surprisingly given another chance to get an Intercontinental title shot this week but failed to capitalize due to the stipulations that came by. The promising friction that he had with Rusev last week wasn’t there to be seen this time around which ended up being the biggest disappointment.

#11 Dolph Ziggler 6

A good win for Ziggler against the World’s strongest man but sadly it didn’t take him anywhere. The Show off continues to pick up random wins here and there but he is still miles away from getting the push that he truly deserves for the efforts that he put in every week in and week out.

#10 Sheamus- 6

After making the Celtic Warrior look strong last week with an array of wins, WWE decided to go the other way this time as they gave Cesaro a win. Though it was a non-title match, Sheamus will be void of his gained momentum now and its back to square one despite the match being good.

#9 Paige-6

Paige had her first loss at Divas champion this week but looked strong in defeat as well. it was not the best match that she had with Alicia but it was clearly a solid one compared to the standard Divas matches that WWE throw up. Paige now has to prove herself to the WWE universe when Payback looks set to be the stage.

#8 Rob Van Dam- 6

Van Dam went up against Alberto Del Rio for the millionth time and their match had nothing to remember. It however turned out to be the one which earned Van Dam a title shot and he will be happy even though he got knocked out by Barrett as the night progressed.

#7 Bad News Barrett- 6.5

It was a big week indeed for Barrett even though he didn’t get into the ring. First Stephanie McMahon teased of making him the next world champion which showed how regarded he is at the moment. Then Barrett came down to show some ruthless aggression against Rob Van Dam and pulled off a babyface promo for his fans as well.

#6 Alicia Fox -7

After the outburst of last week, Alicia followed it up by being the first diva to beat the reigning Divas champion in the main roster. it might’ve been the in ring skills which made WWE give Fox the push she is having now, anyways the feud is going a long way since she defeated Paige in her home nation.

#5 Cesaro-7

The King of Swing had a great win over the reigning United States champion but the way in which it came maybe wasn’t what Cesaro would’ve wanted. He won the match thanks to interference from Heyman which made him look like a typical heel even after dominating most of the match.

#4 John Cena- 7

For a moment it seemed like Cena was going to get the upper hand this week but soon the tables turned much to the misery of the Cenation leader. Even the Usos weren’t able to help Cena from the clutches of the eater of the worlds as Cena was left unable to answer the ten count at the end of the day.

#3 Evolution- 7

Batista was unlucky maybe to have lost the match following Triple H’s jab to Rollins but on the bigger picture it was a disappointing outing for the entire faction. They showed the struggle to stand up against Shield yet again and have least momentum heading into Payback where they will be looking to settle the scores which went in favor of Shield at Extreme Rules.

#2 Shield 7.5

It turned out to be the second week in a row in which the Shield got the upper hand over Evolution. Rollins had great chemistry with Batista and it ended up with a win through disqualification. The hounds of Justice are standing tall at the moment heading to Payback where they will have the real test in the No holds barred elimination match.

#1 Wyatt Family-8

Bray kicked off the night with one of his trademark promos which have started to make the fans compare him to the great talkers in the business. Harper then showed that the Wyatt Family wasn’t only about Bray when he delivered a great bout with Cena. The post-match segments with Cena made Bray look like the monster he really is which added more intrigue to the match at Payback.
