+ Who attacked Enzo! The road to Extreme Rules continues, with 6 days until everything gets Extreme!

[RP]

Cass attacked Enzo. Next question.

[JimmyMess]

Cass attacked Enzo. Next question.

this was what i came here to post. That's just assumed, right?

[drave]

that was one of the best RKO's ever. It'd be fun to be in that environment all the time.

[ClockShot]

Week 3 without Braun.

I picked up some sort of a cold and/or virus yesterday and feel awful. Might just skip tonight altogether and go to bed early.

[XL]

The Revival.

[Lock Jaw]

I dunno man.... feel like I'd be "living on the edge" always worried about the next RKO Outta Nowhere......

I feel like Cena might make a special appearance tonight or maybe The Rock. I dont know. I think this will be a great show, but not as good as it would be with 45 minutes of BRAUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Sauce.

[Lock Jaw]

Why didn't they use an audio quote from Trump

[Lock Jaw]

Should have sent out Muhammed Hassan just then

[Dark One]

I expect this thread to cap out at 2 pages tonight.

[Emperor Smeat]

Even though the negative backlash from it would be massive, WWE could easily create a new mega heel on the spot if someone ever interrupted the special videos WWE airs for certain holidays.

[Dark One]

Are we about to have another Live Sex Celebrat--Oh.

[Lock Jaw]

SIX MAN TAG MATCH TONIGHT PLAYAS

[slik]

Raw seems promising tonight

[Emperor Smeat]

Decent start tonight. WWE really needs to freshen up openings for RAW so its not a shock when a non-talkie segment starts the show.

[ClockShot]

Raw creative ideas right now is putting a bunch of post-it notes with ideas on a wall on the staff throws a dart.

Tonight's show:

6-man tag match
Triple threat match
Shield semi-reunion match

More darts to be thrown as the night progresses.

[ClockShot]

I'm guessing a women's match but someone hits the Bra & Panties stipulation.

[Lock Jaw]

Matt Hardy attacked Enzo Amore to harvest leopard-print for his pants

[slik]

Matt Hardy is freakishly orange tonight

[Emperor Smeat]

Did Jeff Hardy just randomly injure himself?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Ambrose's extra slow hot tag attempt

[ClockShot]

Not really paying attention to this match.

[GD]

The crowd is heavily invested.

[slik]

same @ Clockshot

watching old vines on twitter

[RP]

I think one of these days Jeff Hardy will kill himself in the ring cause he misses that Swanton Bomb badly.

[Lock Jaw]

Watching the Jays game

[Lock Jaw]

Just did see Corey Graves run away.......

[GD]

What happened to Corey?

[Dark One]

Corey must have just heard that the Drifter was in the building.

[Lock Jaw]

Hopefully it is a story thing and he didn't just get some news like "your mom died"

[KIRA]

Corey just learned The Drifter will have an extra long song to sing tonight so he has to get out before its too late.

[RP]

something just tells me Bayley has the worst periods.

[GD]

That was very strange. I'm concerned.

[slik]

Whatever happened to that guy who made vines and would yell "Gra-Ta-Ta-Ta"

[Lock Jaw]

Steph coming back

[ClockShot]

NARC!

[Dark One]

Kurt Angle's nude pics must have just leaked.

[GD]

The suspense is killing meeeeeeee

[RP]

Seriously. Would you guys eat a dirty tampon straight from Alexa Bliss if she would give you sex in return?

[KIRA]

Stay in the back Graves and cover your ears!

[ClockShot]

And The Drifter gets the jobber treatment.

[ClockShot]

Crowd appreciating this than last week's crowd when they just booed.

[slik]

I like The Drifter

[RP]

Zach Evans has a shot here.

[Emperor Smeat]

If the Drifter ever wore a muscle shirt and kept the same general look, he could easily pass off as being a new Bone Saw for a future Spiderman film.

Match he had right now was pretty terrible even by squash standards.

[slik]

Zac Evans possibly the most generic jobber name of all-time

[ClockShot]

Triple threat next.

Trying to keep the viewers around.

Good job, was about to change the channel.

i bet her side piece took that little video snip. I bet it was R-Truth

It was Nia Jax

[Dark One]

Nia Jax.

Which, I guess could be her side piece.

[ClockShot]

So its 2 big guys and 1 little guy in this triple threat. With the little guy being the favorite.

Does that sound right to anybody?

[slik]

Bray Wyatt threatening Samoa Joe was A++

[Lock Jaw]

Anyone else not care about Extreme Rules this Sunday at all, and instead anticipating MitB?

[RP]

I would eat all of Nia Jax's bathroom trash for a week to get to Alexa

[KIRA]

Bray Wyatt threatening Samoa Joe was A++

Yes it was, too bad his follow through is usually shite

[Emperor Smeat]

Anyone else not care about Extreme Rules this Sunday at all, and instead anticipating MitB?

Didn't even notice it was this weekend till Cole mentioned it. Guess that's good since I would have missed like half the show if it was the following week due to other commitments.

[KIRA]

I have something like 20 matches worth of reason to doubt Bray Wyatt can beat Lesner

"Bayley, This Is Your Life!" segment gonna be worse than if Nia was given a gimmick change to Andréa the Giant.

Can't wait for them to give Samoa Joe a new nickname like BEHEMOTH OF BRUTALITY and have Cole say it 35 times in a match.

The Tsunami in Your Mommy

[Emperor Smeat]

Triple Threat match was good but WWE really needs to drop the bad habit of making Bray's promos be meaningless if he keeps losing big matches.

[Droford]

Rich Swann gonna wrestle in Baltimore? Yay

[Lock Jaw]

How dare they cut off Noam Dar's entrance.......

[DAMN iNATOR]

Caramel M&Ms sound like an idea that should've been done long ago...like BBQ Skittles.

Terrible camera shot for the ending of the match. Not even the first replay showed what Swann's move was to win.

[Dark One]

I like them pulling Sasha Banks into the Swann/Dar/Fox feud. Attaching a big star into a Cruiserweight feud will help make people care about more of the Cruiserweights, I think.

[slik]

I feel like Sasha is "above" this feud

[Droford]

yeah just waiting for my bros pfwd and ruien to watch and shoot the breeze

not Tyler Breeze tho

Please no one shoot Tyler Breeze, he is really funny

The Revival, finally!

POIT JUST CAME

[Dark One]

Dash's new Jaws gimmick is money.

https://media.tenor.com/images/1f9de8d7759b34d00e3351871f134a26/tenor.gif

[Emperor Smeat]

Dawson should just have said they really missed the great quality of WWE's catering while they were gone.

[Lock Jaw]

I kind of want Rich Swann to turn heel vs. Cedric Alexander.

Like Rich Swann continues to harass Noam and Alicia, and Cedric is finally like "Yo, dude, chill out" and Swann is all "I'M DOING THIS FOR YOU!!" and Cedric is just "I know, but I don't actually care about it too much.... just let them be...."

Then Swann goes crazy and attacks Cedric for not appreciating him getting revenge for him.......

[Lock Jaw]

205 Live streetfight was p good

[Lock Jaw]

I bet Kane left Enzo Amore in a vegetative state

[Dark One]

Enjoying all of these sudden interruptions w/ Corey Graves. Makes the show less sterile and monotonous.

[Emperor Smeat]

Kalisto somehow managed to bounce off of Titus' muscles as a counter move.


Well that was a huge waste of time.

[Triple A]

Did they drop the angle where Nia Jax is Alexa Bliss's "best friend"

[Dark One]

This is going to be a trainwreck.

[slik]

Alexa looks Blissed Off

[Triple A]

Oh man is she gonna go through everything on the table...

[Emperor Smeat]

Did they drop the angle where Nia Jax is Alexa Bliss's "best friend"

Don't think that ever went any further than a week or two of Alexa being nice so Nia wouldn't go after her title.

Raw writers leaving Alexa Bliss to die in the ring every week with extremely long and pointless promos

[KIRA]

Its like Rock this is your life cept this sucks

[DAMN iNATOR]

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Too good of a long term memory from 10-11 years ago when J.R. would read the Skittles billboards in an overly excited and enthusiastic way? One he did during one of Kane's entrances and jokingly asked if Skittles made a BBQ flavor.

[Dark One]

I'm just going to leave this here to focus on instead:

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/PhysicalPassionateAdouri-size_restricted.gif

[slik]

God, RAW ruins everything wonderful SD creates

[Emperor Smeat]

This might be even worse than the last time they did a "This is Your Life" with Cena or whoever got the treatment last.

WWE's never going to match or top the Foley-Rock version for quality.

[Triple A]

This is horrible

[KIRA]

Alexa might be the Triple H of women's divison promo-wise keep it short,sweet and quipy lady

[DAMN iNATOR]

Its like Rock this is your life cept this sucks

Indeed. Lame AF.

[RP]

lol this

[Droford]

Lol

[RP]

Alexa is gonna blow that Tim Tebow guy

[DAMN iNATOR]

WTF AM I WATCHING?!

[KIRA]

Bliss is dying a death right now.

[Dark One]

Tracy creepy as fuck in the background.

[Dark One]

Booker T speaking for the world right now.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the last speaker's part.

[Dark One]

This is the one segment that Roman Reigns could have interrupted and shit all over to finally become the #1 face.

[Emperor Smeat]

Kendo stick is almost the same size as Alexa.

[KIRA]

Does RAW set out to ruin SDL's former talent on purpose?

[Dark One]

I love Alexa Bliss, but I would rather get beat with a kendo stick than ever have to watch that again.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Alexa dominating this feud...no way Bayley leaves Extreme Rules sans belt.

[Droford]

Who is in the submission match..oh..the cruiser match

[RP]

They've over exposed Alexa week after week. Its terrible writing.

[Emperor Smeat]

Does RAW set out to ruin SDL's former talent on purpose?

Same problem with the previous brand split era where Smackdown built new or interesting stars and RAW bungled almost all when it was their turn.

[KIRA]

Old man Vince might need to get his hearing and eyes checked if he thought that went well

I felt any love I had for bliss drain from my body during that segment and unlike RP it wasn't through my penis.

[Droford]

Who keeps beating up Enzo

[Emperor Smeat]

Enzo might be the easiest person to write for RAW since all he does is get beaten up every week.

[slik]

Jim Cornette/Corey Graves for RAW commentators please

[KIRA]

Who hit Enzo is the who hit Austin for new generation.

[Droford]

Its clearly going to be Big Cass in a heel turn

[KIRA]

I'd say I'm shocked TJP isn't showered with boos but I think people are just waking up from previous segment

[Dark One]

Neville seems to have cracked the 2017 Heel formula.

He still gets pops for murdering losers, sure, but he's still hate-able at pretty much all times while still being entertaining and fun to watch. He hasn't seemed to fall into the trap of like a Kevin Owens who you want to see win and succeed over everyone else because he's so entertaining, but he also hasn't fallen into the Roman Reigns' trap of 'I hate you so much I want you to cease appearing on my screen forever.'

[slik]

I quit watching it a while ago...have watched it a few times since but it's kind of dumb...very "Vince" feel, if that makes sense

Tiger Woods would slurp that shit then drive around drunk then go bone a watiress at Perkins. What a hero.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The ex-boyfriend of <a href="https://twitter.com/itsBayleyWWE">@itsBayleyWWE</a> Phil Johnson says he once wound up almost kissing...her father? <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RAW?src=hash">#RAW</a> <a href="https://t.co/4F2TT5ps6m">pic.twitter.com/4F2TT5ps6m</a></p>&mdash; WWE Universe (@WWEUniverse) <a href="https://twitter.com/WWEUniverse/status/869373403999854592">May 30, 2017</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Nice no sell of the turnbuckle bomb

A bit surprised at how intense this main event is.

Oh yeah forgot the WWE has 2 accounts. Their main one removed either that tweet or all similar ones to it.

Only have the post-segment beating on their timeline for the show.

[Droford]

Raiii..oh look

[GD]

What a main event!

[slik]

So the one match that should/could have ended without a decisive victory ends with Roman beating Reigns clean. Sigh.

[Dark One]

What a shock.

Great match, just tired of Roman Reigns murdering clean everyone in this fatal five way that's supposed to be ALL THE BIGGEST STARS OF THE NEW ERA! ANYONE AND EVERYONE COULD WIN!

[Lock Jaw]

Sorry, stopped paying attention for pretty much the last 1.5 hours, except for when Goldust was on the screen.

I know some good matches were going on, but just can't bring myself to care/pay attention.......

[Dark One]

Pretty good holiday Raw, with the Corey Graves chaos/intrigue being a big high point and some great in ring action. "Bayley This is Your Life" was an unmitigated disaster and whomever wrote it should be sent back down to the warehouse that FCW used to occupy, locked in, and forced to watch Luther Reigns matches until they are dead.

Basically my frustration as well. He's pinned everyone else in the match clean at some point in the last few months (or last year or two for Bray)

[Emperor Smeat]

Bet if there was an extra week left till Extreme Rules, Reigns would have beaten Joe to have wins over everyone in the Fatal Five match.

Already pinned Balor, got a DQ win over Bray, and pinned Rollins tonight.

Lost in a tag match to Joe and Bray but Rollins took the submission.

[Ezra]

Good match. It's just sad Roman always has to win.

[rez]

The 'B' show sucked just like always.

[Ezra]

Tremendous table for 3. I think bischoff may have a slight man crush on Cornette the way he was looking at him.

Well...except when he doesn't. Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaun!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Has anybody heard rumors anywhere of Corey Graves being cleared to wrestle?

[Locke]

I don't watch raw

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Did some laundry watching a quick version of the show on DVR.

[Sepholio]

Yeah I was wondering about Graves as well. Something different going on with him lately. Dunno what it is but I get the feeling he ss going to end up wrestling again. Lots of tension building with him.

[Lock Jaw]

Graves would be pretty dumb to leave his current position to go risk getting more concussions..... Feel like as a commentator he is part of the "future" of the broadcast team for a long time to come......

[Sepholio]

I don't think he would necessarily be a full time wrestler. I could see him being the new King, as in the commentator who can occasionally have a legitimate match. I'd rather see Graves be the one stuck in matches and segments that require ring time than Michael Cole...

[Ruien]

Don't like Reigns going over Rollins. Rollins was the one wrestler (besides Braun) that had Reigns number.

[Big Vic]

They stopped being friends because Bayley wouldn’t go out when RAW and Smackdown were on. Bliss makes fun of Bayley wanting to be a WWE Superstar as a child.Really odd for WWE to continue to use this as an insult for Bayley.

[Simple Fan]

First Raw I've dozed off on in a while. Wasn't even tired as I made it through all of Gotham afterwards. Didn't care any for that main event. Triple threat was about the best part of Raw.

[Big Vic]

I watched the first segment then tuned out.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Should've just booked it as some kind of no contest. Reigns hits Superman Punches and Spears as all the other 3 in the 5-way run out and brawl with him, then Brock's music hits, and he and Heyman walk down to the ring and a staredown ensues between Roman and Brock.

sounds like it's not a memorable show for memorial day

ahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Stickman]

It actually wasn't a terrible Raw. Once you learn how to fast forward all the commercials and cruiserweiht stuff you were left with an ok show. Bayley this is your life obviously was bad, you knew that the moment they said they were doing it. Yes it is poorly booked but Bliss is actually ok on the mic. She is working with what she is given and she is pretty good working off crowd reactions. I dunno, I was not bored to tears with this episode.

[drave]

So fucking glad I abstain from weekly shows. I know quite a few people around here have said they enjoy the product more when they do and there is some hard truth in there.

[Dark One]

Interesting bit of theory on the Graves/Cass segment from reddit:

Last week Corey said "he would love to shake the hand of the man who attacked Enzo".

This week he shook Big Cass's hand.

Enzo is donezo.

The subtlety of that would fit in with the background Revival creeping last week. Assuming that it isn't just a coincidence, that means there's at least one person on Raw's writing team that has some ability to tell a story, and that person should beat to death whomever is booking Roman Reigns or whomever wrote Bayley: This is Your Life.
