Hi friends, Simon Miller from what culture here and if you are a long time viewer of Ups and Downs

or like Simon, why the hell are you sitting down, get on your feet and start entertaining us?

Well while I would love to start doing that, if you did see Ups and Downs last week,

you knew I was sick, well it's got 10 times as bad. So I'd basically haven't slept

since we did rap page ups and downs. My word I think I've coughed up a lung, but as I told you before,

if I am Mr Ups and Downs, I ain't missing one, so today we're just going to have to do it

in this position. It's different. Otherwise though, happy new year, welcome to 2023, it's been

absolute garbage for me so far. But that's not talking about that because we're not negative

dances, we're positive peets and let's look at Monday Night Raw, the first one of a brand new year,

good bits and up, bad bits and downs.

So 2023 has basically started the same way that 2022 ended with a bloodline chaos,

because the raw opening was basically cut off as we saw Sami Zayn that Uso's and Solace

are covered just absolutely destroying Rinside and beating up a bunch of security guards.

And that was a little bit like, wait a minute, what's the director heard about this and said,

guys, let's cut off from our regular presentation, because we want to see a bunch of dudes

coming some crimes, good work. Some poor guy got throwing the Barry Barricade as well,

so bad has had a terrible start to 2023 as well. Well I think Kevin Owen's going to pit

up about this and he walked to the ring and he just looked super duper annoyed. But before he

could say anything, Sami Zayn got a microphone, he said, Kevin, you shut up, because he pointed

a K-Ice and said, this is all your fault as well as that John Cena for what you did do on SmackDown,

and it annoyed Kevin Owen so much when he finally was allowed to speak, he was like, look,

I had a whole plan when I did come out here, but now I just want to punch you in the face.
