Garth Reviews WWE

Welcome to a special Monday Night Garth Edition of WWE Monday Night Raw, filling in for the Doomie Award Winning Kat Bourne, who is day-to-day due to illness and we all wish a speedy recovery. This week, Monday Night Raw is coming to us LIVE from the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, WA. Tonight, we’ll determine the #1 contender to the Women’s Intercontinental Championship via GAUNTLET (featuring the likes of Bayley, Iyo Sky, Lyra Valkyria, Ivy Nile, Asuka, and Raquel Rodriguez). Penta will defend his newly-won Intercontinental Title against The ORIGINAL El Grande Americano (a.k.a. Chadro), and Oba Femi is gonna make Rusev wish he was back home.

We’re trying out something a little different from me, where I examine a specific time period of a subject, could be a solo star, tag team, or a noted rivalry. There will be some match reviews, but it’s more breaking down the timeline of events and examining why something did or didn’t work out, with the match reviews being secondary.

Presented LIVE on the Peacock on August 31st, 2025 from the Paris La Défense Arena in Paris, France, and the final Peacock PLE before moving over to ESPN. Michael Cole and Wade Barrett are ringside to call the action, unless otherwise noted. That is a damn nice looking stage, with the Eiffel Tower and the Starry Night incorporated in the events logo.
