WWE Raw: Results, Analysis, Highlights, and Grades for March 26

Asuka vs. Jamie Frost

Result: Asuka defeated Jamie Frost via pinfall

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (okay, really like 1.0 out of 5 stars, but you get my drift)

Before Asuka headed down to the ring, Kane cut a weird backstage promo about John Cena. He’s basically implying that the Undertaker is a demon, which would be obvious to anyone who’s paid attention for the past 30 years. How else do you explain everything about Taker’s history?

Then, while Asuka made her entrance, lady Ellsworth got to speak to the WWE Universe. She’s got a bold strategy – make your debut against an undefeated powerhouse, and luck into a win because you’re the great unknown.

Instead, her offense was brushed off and she lost after a single kick to the face.

Here’s my main question about Asuka and WrestleMania: Is she going to jump ship to Team Blue? I’m working on the assumption that she’ll win against Charlotte – making her the SmackDown Women’s Champion. Is she just going to bring the title back to Raw? Or is she going to be a victim of the Superstar Shakeup? Too many questions, and I need answers.

Michael Cole is a Mule? I Can See That

Matt Hardy celebrates his victory in the Ultimate Deletion by officially entering the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. But let’s focus on Michael Cole being obnoxious, because that’s always fun.

I like that Corey Graves is so passionate about what he does that he will go off on Cole for dismissing anything. The Ultimate Deletion was definitely interesting, and unique (for WWE), but Cole practically buried it at every turn. I’m sure that whole Hardy Compound will come back again at some point, so maybe Cole can come around.
