WWE Raw Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for February 6

Seth Rollins Injury Update
Classic WWE – hype a major update on an injured competitor’s condition, then literally tell us what we already knew.
To recap: The same video that started the episode was played, showing Rollins get hurt. Then the production crew showed a big tweet compilation saying that Seth’s status for WrestleMania is up in the air.
Well, duh.
New Day (Big E & Xavier Woods, w/ Kofi Kingston) vs. Shining Stars (Primo & Epico)
Result: New Day defeated Shining Stars via pinfall
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but I think Kofi is dancing extra hard and Woods is kinda reserved because of the Super Bowl. If you watched the video on WWE Fan Nation, you saw Pats fan Kofi going nuts while Falcons fan Woods went, well, nuts.
And New Day Ice Cream? I’m in, but New Day Sorbet would be better. It fits the rhyme scheme (sor…bet rocks).
The Shining Stars make an appearance for the first time since who knows when to play the part of sort of worthy competition. It gave us the chance to hear Corey Graves adamantly declare that he’s been to their Puerto Rican resort. Totally worth it.
Somewhat surprisingly, the match was decent. Primo and Epico shouldn’t really be surprising anyone with what they can do in the ring – they’re more a victim of lousy booking and creative decisions than anything else. But given the opportunity – like tonight – they can do good things in the ring.
But it’s the New Day’s world, and we’re just living in it. As their ice cream prepares to hit shelves (one would assume), the Midnight Hour propels them to victory.
