WWE RAW 6/13 feat. NBA Finals Game 5, E3 2016, and some wrestling stuff going on

Less than one week before they battle for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins will appear on a must-see edition of Dean Ambrose's chaotic talk show, "The Ambrose Asylum." What can the WWE Universe expect when all three former Shield members assemble in the ring at the same time? WWE.com has some ideas.

[Dark One]

Really watching to see how they fuck up the first time the SHIELD has been in the same ring together in quite a while.

[Lock Jaw]

By making Dean Ambrose seem like a wacky joke who doesn't seem like he belongs in a ring with the other two anymore.

[GD]

Damn, WWE keeping it classy.

[Mercenary]

Holey crap Vince's hair is extra grey starting to look like SR

[Triple A]

don't really feel like watching

but will watch I guess

[GD]

Love how The New Day cheer up the fans.

[Triple A]

Feel like turning it off already,,,

Bored with New Day

[GD]

lol at the crowd chanting "who?"

[Poit]

The mean streets of Greenwich, Connecticut.

[Mercenary]

Thats not pg Cass!

[Dark One]

The mean streets of Greenwich, Connecticut.

Heard there was some nasty posse or something there.

[GD]

Distracted by Big Cass' right nipple.

[GD]

Cute segment

[Dark One]

Is Big Cass suggesting Enzo had sex with a trombone?

[Poit]

Is Big Cass suggesting Enzo had sex with a trombone?

Yes.

[Mercenary]

This is great

[Triple A]

funny

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems like someone in Creative really likes the idea of feuds involving random objects.

First Jericho and Ambrose are fighting over blinky jackets and plants. Now its Enzo and Xavier arguing over a trombone.

Karl Anderson is the vanilla-est vanilla midget ever

[DaveWadding]

DEL PATRON bullies his way into the match con TEJANO

[DaveWadding]

Sup, Wadding?

[slik]

I forgot Shane was on RAW still

[Dark One]

Ugh stop these Darren Young segments they are so forced

"This is my only set of clothes" was hilarious.

[DaveWadding]

like Phoenix vs. Mil Muertes

[DaveWadding]

they have very good chemistry

[Lock Jaw]

KORPORATE KANE!!!!!

[Mercenary]

Nooooooooooooooo damn it Kane!

[DaveWadding]

Shit just got real, Corporate Kane doing his thing

I want Eric Bischoff.

[The Condor]

Shane's tan is off putting

[DaveWadding]

Phoenix does a lot of cool shit

[DaveWadding]

feel like everyone busts out RKOs OUTTA NOWHERE en Lucha

[DaveWadding]

Muertes just did a 2nd rop monkey flip that was quite impressive

[The Condor]

I'm not a Sheamus defender or anything, but he shouldn't job to Crews. That result will help no one

[DaveWadding]

I'd bang Katrina so hard.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Stop spoiling Lucha Underground in the Raw thread. I'm like four episodes behind myself.

Thank you!! :P

[DaveWadding]

Ivelisse wrestling tonight. V sexy also

[Anybody Thrilla]

Rusev is tight. Really digging him lately.

[DaveWadding]

Promo between DEL PATRON and Pyuma. Basically Del Patron saying I'm coming for you

[DaveWadding]

because obv everyone is gunning for the champ

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if Ambrose found a new co-host plant for his Asylum show.

[DaveWadding]

ESEXY ESTRELLA wrestling tonight. Donut like her @ all

[Black Widow]

There is very few that can bore me like Rusev.

[Dark One]

DaveWadding's new gimmick is terrible.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That is a spoiler of sorts. If you want to talk about Lucha Underground, there's definitely a thread for that. Not this one.

[Dark One]

And this is coming from the master of terrible gimmicks.

[DaveWadding]

That is a spoiler of sorts. If you want to talk about Lucha Underground, there's definitely a thread for that. Not this one.

You are being ridiculous.

[DaveWadding]

DaveWadding's new gimmick is terrible.

Gimmick is "I want to find out how bad RAW is without watching RAW and watch good wrestling at the same time."

[Dark One]

You are being ridiculous.

KEVIN OWENS IS WRESTLING ON RAW TONIGHT

[DaveWadding]

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!

[Dark One]

Gimmick is "I want to find out how bad RAW is without watching RAW and watch good wrestling at the same time."

DaveWadding's new gimmick is terrible.

There's no real reason to come in here and spam the shit out of the Raw thread with every second of everything you're seeing on episodes of Lucha Underground other than to be a twat.

[DaveWadding]

THEY'RE DOING A 3 WAY SHIELD PROMO

[DaveWadding]

There's no real reason to come in here and spam the shit out of the Raw thread with every second of everything you're seeing on episodes of Lucha Underground other than to be a twat.

I'm not trying to be a twat, just keep myself entertained on multiple fronts.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Gimmick is "I want to find out how bad RAW is without watching RAW and watch good wrestling at the same time."

The guy that just said THIS thinks that I am being ridiculous. Just show some respect, pal. I've known you for 13 years now.

[DaveWadding]

it's whatever. Give your vaginas a suplex.

[DaveWadding]

basically 1 post in the last 10 is about RAW, which tells me all I need to know about how entertaining it is.

[Dark One]

I'm pretty sure refusing several people asking something totally understandable of you--and then telling them you're just going to keep doing it because it amuses you--is a pretty textbook definition of being a twat on the internet.

[Dark One]

Let's see if Ambrose and Reigns reference their winter Buddy Cop angle or if Roman Reigns continues to pretend he's all alone.

[Black Widow]

I'd love to be the 4th person in the ring.

[Dark One]

I feel like it's a really bad choice to put Roman Reigns in the ring with the other two members of the Shield that the crowd likes way way more than him.

I think Raw has been fine. I'm also working right now. I guess I just don't understand why you are in this thread if you have no interest in Raw.

[Dark One]

"If you're the rightful champ, why do I have this?"

Begging Roman to watch the show.

[DaveWadding]

I think Raw has been fine. I'm also working right now. I guess I just don't understand why you are in this thread if you have no interest in Raw.

and I have repeatedly stated that I am INTERESTED in what happens on RAW, but I could not care less to sit through 100 minutes of bad commentary, social media updates and HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED 5 MINUTES AGO

[Dark One]

Hey, a solid minute of promo from Roman.

[Mercenary]

dean for champ!

[Dark One]

Dean Ambrose is now the biggest face on the roster.

[slik]

That was a awesome segment. It managed to keep me away from the NBA game until it was over. All Curry now!

Hey Slik!!!

[DaveWadding]

Ruien. That's a spoiler alert. Please post about it elsewhere.

[Ruien]

Huh?

[Dark One]

Hell yeah WWEPaige.

[DaveWadding]

I have the Finals Game on DVR. I did not know that Stephen Curry is playing tonight. Please refrain from spoiling my future enjoyment of said game.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ruien. That's a spoiler alert. Please post about it elsewhere.

Are you on some sort of medication or what?

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems really dumb to be teasing a possible break-up thingy with Dana and Charlotte this soon. Last week they did the swerved tease and now this week they did the part where Dana costed Charlotte the match.

[Mercenary]

13-19!

Not sure if you are kidding...... I love you though.

Pretty hyped for Zayn/Cesaro again.

spoiler alert.

[Mercenary]

But this thread is the raw/nba final thread also GOD OF MOTHER FUCKING WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DaveWadding]

but seriously, I'll download RAW just for that. Can't believe the amount of PPV quality wrestling they give away for free

[The Condor]

Show needs more Jericho

[slik]

I am looking forward to the actual MITB match and AJ/Cena

[slik]

[slik]

Truly Great suggestion @ D Wadding

[slik]

Anyone else thinking of just watching 1 show, RAW or SMACKDOWN, after the brand split? I think I might but it will depend who ends up on which show...feel like I would want to see whichever brand Shinsuke Nakamura and Finn Balor were on if they got called up.

[Poit]

If the two shows are legitimately on par with each other (or at least somewhat close), I'll watch both.

[Ruien]

Hell Yeah!

we need a fist bump emoticon...guess this will have to do (pretend it's a fist)

:y:

:y::n:

[DAMN iNATOR]

So much fighting going on in here tonight...not what I expected to see.

I'm hereby ordering a 2-on-1 Handicap Match for this Sunday during the pre-show: DaveWadding vs. Lock Jaw and ABT.

Depends on who is where and the storylines. I want to watch the Wyatts, Rollins, and AJ the most. Ambrose and Shane could get me to watch some shows too.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL @ Cesaro STILL wearing the shoulder tape.

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably going to watch both but have them playing in the background like I do with RAW now.

I may abandon one of the weekly shows--or switch to a truncated Hulu version--if they end up doing a PPV for each brand each month. I think adding another three hour show may be a bit much.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ending to Cesaro-Zayn match was really good.

[Dark One]

So who's going to win? Ambrose or Owens?

[slik]

True, it will really depend on the roster and storylines. I'm looking forward to each show having different creative teams and writers. I hope if I donut watch one though that JBL does commentary for the one I donut watch.

[Dark One]

This segment is for Lock Jaw.

[Lock Jaw]

Sweeeet

[Dark One]

Going to pretend that Cena was pointing at and talking to the "SAP Available" logo.

PICK UP HIS TEETH

[Lock Jaw]

They keep mentioning all this "Wrestlemania worthy match/main event" stuff..... I feel like they are basically saying "Hey guys, sorry about all the injuries around Wrestlemania, here are some of the matches we would have done"

[Dark One]

Cena putting over Styles huge on the microphone. I don't know that I can recall any other time Cena's put over someone that hard on the microphone.

I mean, he put over Bryan pretty huge, but the way he was talking up Styles seemed like a whole different level.

shut the fuck up NerF

[Lock Jaw]

The Powers That Be

[Dark One]

Cena vs. Styles should main event Money in the Bank.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Cena is really fucking good.

[Lock Jaw]

Seeing Shane McMahon's tan makes me say "Where's The Miz?"..... he said he was going to update us from his set every week..... he's cooling off with all this off-tv weeks....

[Lock Jaw]

Now he's just gonna be back and its going to be "Oh yeah, The Miz is IC Champion" instead of "Finally The Miz is back, now someone can punch him in the mouth!"

[Dark One]

Seeing Shane McMahon's tan makes me say "Where's The Miz?"..... he said he was going to update us from his set every week..... he's cooling off with all this off-tv weeks....

But how will they ever find time for those segments in twelve hours of TV a week?

[slik]

AJ/Cena will be really good

[Dark One]

AJ/Cena will be really good

Really hope they go full Wrestlemania main event and give them like 40 minutes.

[evanbrown]

I will probably work next week's RAW, could make some good money giving people a Lyft before/after.

[Lock Jaw]

But how will they ever find time for those segments in twelve hours of TV a week?

Good point.... forget it.

[evanbrown]

shut the fuck up NerF

I thought of you when I was in Peru. I saw this guy who looked just like you except he was wearing a shirt that said THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

[slik]

I think they'll go around 30 minutes at least, but I could see 40 too

[slik]

I would be fine w/ Kalisto in the MITB match instead of Del Rio

[Dark One]

Good point.... forget it.

I put in a good word for you.

[Lock Jaw]

Thanks. Knew I could count on you.

[slik]

Jericho vs Dean is the new Sheamus vs Del Rio

Do you want to come up for the weekend and smoke some weed with me and OssMan?

[GD]

Can't wait for Eric Bischoff to return and run either of the shows.

[slik]

lost my feed...how did RAW end?

[Lock Jaw]

With a brawl... Zayn took out everyone but Jericho and Jericho climbed the ladder and grabbed the briefcase and sat there with his legs crossed on top of the ladder

[Emperor Smeat]

lost my feed...how did RAW end?

Random brawl after Ambrose won leading to Zayn taking everyone except Jericho with a flip to the outside. Jericho climbed the ladder to show everyone he wasn't winning the match this Sunday.

[slik]

TY both!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, Cesaro did a pretty good job ring announcing.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What the fuck was with Paige beating Charlotte...again?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lucha Dragons are really fucking good. There is one kid that really loved them. They could have matches against The Shining Stars as an opener and it'd be fun and pump the crowd up.

[Simple Fan]

Ok Raw, liked the AJ/Cena segment. PWG and ROH can get some shout outs but no love to TNA. Think the tag match would be better if it wasn't cluttered with the NXT call up teams. Hope Owens wins the MitB briefcase but wouldn't mind Jericho, Del Rio, Ambrose or Cesaro winning I just don't want Sami Zayn to win it.

[Triple A]

fell asleep but watching WWE.Raw.06.13.16.720p.HDTV.H264-XWT now

This is why the Hulu cut is generally pretty great, especially if you have the commercial free option, since it shrinks everything down to just 90 minutes. You lose probably a half hour of stuff, not counting commercials, and sometimes that can suck, because it's usually newly debuted people, but there were a lot of weeks I was thankful for it while I was laid up from the wreck.

[Triple A]

Yeah, ended up watching "all" of Raw in about 15 mins

[evanbrown]

Roman Reings will be a winner on Sunday at TLC!

[DAMN iNATOR]

Roman Reings will be a winner on Sunday at TLC!

Only to be defeated for the belt by Mean Dean the Fighting Machine after Dean gets the case earlier in the night.

5 pages.

Anything worth watching if I catch the replay on the Universal channel Saturday night?

Korporate Kane
Sami Zayn vs. Cesaro
Chris Jericho vs. Dean Ambrose
New Day, Enzo, and Cass vs. Vaudevillains, Gallows, and Anderson; plus talking segment before the match
Cena & Styles contact signing

You can skip the rest.

[Damndirty]

Such a terrible rating for Raw even in the face of the NBA Finals... 2.03!? I didn't think it was that bad, definitely better than most Raws we've seen in the past few years, but numbers do speak, not just here, but throughout the rest of the year as well. I believe, as many have posted before, that pro-wrestling in general is dying. It's losing a great amount of its appeal over the years, even among hardcore fans like myself. This is largely WWE's fault for this loss of appeal; we all know why and have known since it made the transition from one model to another. The transition, in Vince's eyes, was more a method of safe play in order to avert the piling lawsuits and other unfortunate potential mishaps (like Benoit's situation). He played it off as if this would be a successful transition, threw around lots of optimistic words, but most long-time wrestling fans weren't on board with the idea as much as he had believed. Now after trying to sustain a terrible product for almost a decade, they finally conceded to return to the former model, but still face the ghost of the PG Error. Will it go away? With time it can, as long as Vince can put his fan-base over his ego. I mean seriously, who really begged for TV 14 to be reformatted into TV PG? It was an unnecessary business decision that not only hurt WWE, but pro-wrestling as a whole with it.

[#1-norm-fan]

If Ambrose were to win MITB and then cash in on Rollins after Rollins beats Reigns, all three members of The Shield would have held the title in the same night. Zaniness.

[#1-norm-fan]

Wait... did Raw really do a 2.03!? No way...

[Ruien]

Thought it was a 2.93.

[Damndirty]

According to this site http://www.topropepress.com/news/30226/wwe-raw-ratings-61316 it was 2.03. Considering that Cena's back, this is a pretty steep drop!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

If Ambrose were to win MITB and then cash in on Rollins after Rollins beats Reigns, all three members of The Shield would have held the title in the same night. Zaniness.

I suggested this a few years ago. Rollins wins by shenanigans, Reigns destroys him and Ambrose comes in for the steal. So easy.
