WWE Raw Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for January 16

Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Rusev and Jinder Mahal

Result: Enzo Amore and Big Cass defeat Rusev and Jinder Mahal via pinfall.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars

A fun match to get the action going (or furthered) on WWE Raw. They got their retribution that seemed to be coming from a mile away, putting an end to this feud that started with Amore getting lured into a hotel room. That seems like an eternity ago, right?

These four will now move on to other things, hopefully something more important. The Royal Rumble match could be one way of doing this, as Rusev, Cass, and Amore are all candidates to enter. Mahal may even sneak in there as an entrant too. The seven-footer is the most likely one of those four to make noise in the upcoming over-the-top-rope match.

Ariya Daivari vs. Lince Dorado

Result: Ariya Daivari defeats Lince Dorado via submission.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars

A good match for the few minutes it lasted. Jack Gallagher is also a lot of fun on commentary, using his unique charisma. This was about setting up their “I Forfeit” match for Tuesday’s episode of 205 Live.
