WWE has been spoiling fans with tag team turmoil since the Motor City Machine Guns arrived and swiftly captured gold, and we should all give this movement a round of applause. Even if you're more of a singles action enjoyer, the creativity we saw on Monday's episode of "WWE Raw" was wonderful. Tornado tags, titles on the line and squash matches — the latter of which led to wrestling drama at its finest.

The divorce...

If you've been following along with our Uncrowned wrestling coverage for "WWE Raw," you'll know I've been pretty divided on the possibilities of The New Day's ongoing implosion. Some of the segments have been hilarious despite not trying to be — in other words, not good.

As it stands, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are completely at odds one week out from their stable's 10-year reunion, and the obvious swerve here is a Big E return, which would be incredible and make perfect sense if he's ready. Unsurprisingly, the big man was featured heavily in Monday's promo package too.

I'm all for them sticking together, as it's a feel-good swerve of the highest degree. However, these two have sold me — and I hope everyone else — a monster-sized ticket on them coming to blows, because the verbal barbs they stabbed into each other tonight post-match were electric.

Alpha Academy squashed the multi-time champions in what felt like less than a minute, before the cameraman followed them backstage. (A nice touch.) Kingston and Woods taking turns blaming each other for their downfalls and successes over the past decade was cinema. Considering the rich history at play here, this could culminate in possibly an all-time separation. I was skeptical, but now I have to see it.

🤯 CAR CRASH OF THE NIGHT.

Our "car crash of the night" is supposed to be used in rare instances! Bron Breakker vs. Ludwig Kaiser gave me no other choice than to break it out sooner than expected.

You guys know I love — and demand — this Kaiser push. Realistically, it probably makes no sense whatsoever. The guy gets an Intercontinental title shot off a loss to Damian Priest and ruining a title match? How that should earn a shot yourself is beyond me. But hey, that's wrestling.

Once again, a Breakker match was awesome, as they all are. If you watch this for one reason though, it's to see this man run at 100 miles per hour INTO THE FREAKING ANNOUNCE TABLE CORNER.

That. Was. Absurd.

In all my years of wrestling fandom since I was a kid, I've never seen anything like that — and it could not have felt good. Breakker has obliterated himself two weeks in a row now and I'm getting tank version of Jeff Hardy vibes because of that. This guy is the best.

Ultimately, Sheamus justifiably returned the favor by ruining the match and attacking Kaiser, who did the same to him last week. We got ourselves an old-fashioned three-man brawl that somehow bled through the commercial break. The triple threat title match at Survivor Series is official. I cannot wait.

Goldfish Gunther...?

It's perplexing to see what's happening with Gunther right now. The World Heavyweight champion has fallen into the coward titleholder role, but it doesn't fit him for blatantly obvious reasons.

Gunther's ring time was interrupted by Priest before he could even speak. Another case of big-brothering, you could say, which led to a Gunther attack. The champ had the upper hand until Priest retaliated outside the ring and hit a Razor's Edge through the announce table. Cool, I guess? Give Priest hope to win.

The big problem is what's being said. Priest talked about the championship pressure overwhelming Gunther, therefore leading to his recent cowardice. Are we all supposed to forget the record-breaking longest Intercontinental title reign that Gunther had before winning the big gold belt? This is laughable.

There's a way to pull this off, but anyone who buys into that as Gunther's reasoning has a goldfish brain.

🥴 MISSED OPPORTUNITY OF THE NIGHT

Even if I'm not a fan of the women's War Games match this year, I can admit that Bianca Belair and Nia Jax getting the main event spot was nice because of their statuses.

It was teased earlier in the night that Belair's team still needs a fifth member after the destruction of Jade Cargill last week. Bayley was thrown out as the name from Naomi and that was that. Bayley interfered to help Belair win and viola. That looks like our replacement.

I've complained enough about this whole thing, so it is what it is at this point. We could've at least gotten a surprise though. My mind always works in a fantasy world, and something like a Becky Lynch return after her recent interviews got my wheels spinning. None of this has been put together logically, so why not get as random and fun as possible with it? Even Charlotte Flair would have been fine, and perhaps more realistic.

👩‍⚕️ COSPLAY OF THE NIGHT

This doesn't quite fit into our winners or losers category, but I have to highlight Rhea Ripley. She has officially entered badass emo medieval plague doctor mode and I'm here for it.

👍 MONDEY NIGHT MONEY 👍

1. There's no way an LWO (Dragon Lee & Rey Mysterio) vs. American Made (Brutus & Julius Creed) tornado tag match was going to be bad — and it was not. These teams were perfect in this setting. Dragon Lee is WWE's Rey Fenix and should get a singles run push. Chad Gable with a mask twist interference on Mysterio to a roll-up was actually ultra creative and another thing I hadn't seen before. Usually, we see people take the mask off. This was a nice change-up.

2. Adam Pearce, man. He's won me over.

The "WWE Raw" general manager just gets super pissed and then gives people what they want. That isn't how bosses usually punish their employees, Adam. He's the angriest best boss ever.

3. The Women's Intercontinental title was created before the show started, as seen in a replay video. That was to be expected after the U.S. title creation, but it's a good thing nonetheless.

👎 RAW DEAL 👎

1. Final Testament left Scarlett Bordeaux alone in their locker room to keep her safe. Instantly, as they leave her alone, she gets attacked by Nikki Cross. Poor Scarlett.

👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑

Finn Balor is our king of "WWE Raw" this week.

Balor was first seen on the show defending his Judgment Day clubhouse from R-Truth, and the speech, verbiage and delivery of everything he said were just fantastic. The guy has been hit or miss in this role for me lately, but it's moments like this where I'm reminded how much I wish he was still a major player in the world title scene. Yeah, I know those days were long ago.

Although Balor and JD McDonagh won via Dominick Mysterio shenanigans in their tag title match against The War Raiders, it was decent for what it was. Typical victory on all fronts. A good night for Balor.

👑 I give this show a Crown score of 7.5 out of 10. 👑
