WWE Raw Results: Analysing and grading each segment (January 9th)

WWE hinted at a potential Undertaker vs Strowman match with a backstage camera shot during The Deadman’s return

Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho (United States Championship):

Jericho captured the United States title for the first time in good fashion

Result: Chris Jericho pins Reigns to win the championship.

Grade: 8/10

This was a strong way to close the show, with Chris Jericho surprisingly capturing the title. After such a great run in 2016, Jericho deserved a title reign, and it looks like he has received it with his first US Championship.

However, the booking here was all off. It took two men together to beat Reigns, which is incredibly dumb and only served to make Reigns look ridiculously strong. Reigns dominated for a large portion of the match when he shouldn’t have had a chance. Still, it was nice to see the US title change hands, as it has been poorly treated with Reigns as Champion.

Overall, a nice way to close proceedings, even if Reigns was booked way too strong here.
