WWE RAW 11/28 feat. The BOSS vs The Queen, JeriKO, New Day vs Team Du Jour, and some other boring stuff

[Evil Vito]

Cesaro and Sheamus vs. The Revival was penciled in for my WM33 projected card. Really want to see that match now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I love that TLC commercial. Shows how trendy the WWE is and really speaks to kids.

Dawson- Beating up NXT scrubs is our job. Top Guys in!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Owens trash talk

"go back to football or whatever the hell you were doing before"

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Audience-switches to MNF>

[Mr. Nerfect]

Really excited to see this again at Roadblock.

[Emperor Smeat]

Reigns being made cartoonishly strong for submission moves always makes them not look believable. Same problem whenever Cena gets put into one as well.

If he didn't submit while getting a chain and Accolade combo, he's not submitting at all from a simple sleeper.

[Evil Vito]

Truly have no idea why WWE insist on having guys wrestle on free TV constantly before the PPV match.

Pretty sure even in the Attitude Era you rarely saw this. Guys would compete in tag matches, which you still see now of course - but the one on one before the PPV shit has got to stop.

[KIRA]

Get up Owens its time to make Roman look strong.

[Evil Vito]

I wonder if Roman Reigns will win this match, seeing as WWE has already been promoting an Owens/Reigns match for over a month.

I WONDER....

lol owenbrown neg repped me for this post, saying that I was "jinxing it".

I think he's forgotten how WWE works.

[KIRA]

Sweet merciful christ we just hit the last hr I...CAN'T......

[Mr. Nerfect]

Roman Reigns winning cleanly here makes sense, because now people think there's a really good chance he can beat Owens, hence they're more likely to get subscriptions.

[Stickman]

I can't get behind Reigns. He is just so bland. I dunno

[Dark One]

Roman Reigns winning cleanly here makes sense, because now people think there's a really good chance he can beat Owens, hence they're more likely to get subscriptions.

It also helps elevate the United States Championship, which people have wanted to happen for a long time.

[Dark One]

Just because this is always relevant:

[Black Widow]

Well how much has Raw Sucked so far?

[Evil Vito]

It also helps elevate the United States Championship, which people have wanted to happen for a long time.

I wonder how many times Reigns will defend the United States Championship between now and WrestleMania for his supposedly huge title defense against Braun Strowman.

[Emperor Smeat]

Might as well give Roman the belt since its been obvious for a while the WWE cares more about him than Owens when it comes to strong champs for RAW.

Even getting busted for the Wellness Policy only slowed his road back to the WWE title instead of being a serious punishment like with almost everyone else who got busted.

[KIRA]

Aww I thought she was gonna cup his chin

[Evil Vito]

Kevin Owens is such a great friend.

I need more friends like Kevin Owens.

[Evil Vito]

Whatever they're paying Corey Graves isn't nearly enough. He's actually managed to take the heel color commentator role and not be a complete detriment to the broadcast like JBL.

SHUT UP BYRON. I HOPE YOU DIE AND YOUR PARENTS KILL THEMSELVES YOU WORTHLESS SACK OF SHIT.

[Dark One]

Mick Foley announcing Sasha vs. Charlotte 2: The Reckoning took longer than Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg.

[Triple A]

What is this shit

Why are they making Heyman all somber and emotional

[Dark One]

Heyman being unshaven is a subtle and tremendous way to convey how distraught he is.

[Triple A]

this sucks

[KIRA]

Stayed Paul Heyman is more awesome than yelling Heyman

LOL IT WAS BROCKS EASIEST PAYDAY

So he got speared how many times by Roman?

Went through two tables at god knows how many shots in other matches

but a Spear from a near 50 yr old Goldberg ends him

[Evil Vito]

Heyman a master of promotional excellence, as always.

[Ruien]

Rumble just became interesting.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Paul Heyman is freakin' tremendous.

[Dark One]

It's almost 10:30... is there time for a six hour New Day segment?

[Triple A]

stopped watching for like 20 mins to hopefully skip the New Day vs. Gallows and Anderson match but here it is

[Emperor Smeat]

With the way they hyped the interview, was expecting Heyman to be sobbing in tears instead of just sounding a lot more low key and somber.

[Sepholio]

Oh my god this is dragging on to a main event we saw 2 hours ago

[KIRA]

New Day continues their slow crawl to the record

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't like him calling Goldberg a relic, but the general outline of the promo is why Brock losing is the right deal.

[Droford]

Odds Goldberg vs Lesnar III is a UFC style match in an "octagon"

[Mr. Nerfect]

Michael Cole hyping Heyman's sobbing was dumb.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Emmalina in a bikini up there with Heyman promo and Kendrick commentary.

[Droford]

Anybody call Jeff?

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems really dumb to be making fun of a cereal WWE currently sells. Like WCW-level dumb when they'd trash their branded cologne one time.

[Sepholio]

The club should win this right now.

[KIRA]

We need The Revival











To Stay the fuck on NXT or go to SD LIVE! cause RAW sucks.

[Evil Vito]

Feel like WWE only signed Gallows & Anderson just because they could, not because they had any particular plans for them.

[Evil Vito]

As great of a wrestler as Emma(lina) is, I'm not sure I ever want to see her re-debut. Just keep showing bikini pics plz.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What is with the "Who?" thing?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They say Who alot like an owl.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Gallows & Anderson are just opponents and they've done nothing to prove they deserve otherwise.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They say Who alot like an owl.

That explains nothing.

[Evil Vito]

If there was a blind auction on TPWW where the highest bidder was awarded 24 hours with Emmalina completely at their beck and call...I wonder how high the bidding would go and who would take the plunge.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Why is Kofi allowed at ringside after they cheated the last 1000 times to get DQed? Explain dat.

[Droford]

Find it funny a pharmaceutical company is sponsoring a Gallows and Anderson match

[Emperor Smeat]

Feel like WWE only signed Gallows & Anderson just because they could, not because they had any particular plans for them.

Pretty much. Did it more to hurt NJPW and benefit the WWE Network in Japan than having any serious plans for them.

[Evil Vito]

Wish guys like Big E, Ambrose, etc. would stop doing their midrope dive every match. It's completely unnecessary to do that week in, week out.

[Droford]

Baldo bomb..oh

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Jesus Christ.

[Evil Vito]

Nice to see The New Day cheating again. Such great faces.

[Evil Vito]

Would piss myself laughing if Demolition show up as New Day's final challengers before they break the record.

I know it won't happen because they're suing WWE, but still.

[KIRA]

:lol: New Day are gonna get to the record Just beating Gallows and that other guy who I think might be Perry Saturn.

[Droford]

Ric Flair will rise tonight

[Evil Vito]

Ric Flair will rise tonight

Which part of him? :naughty:

[Dark One]

Which part of him? :naughty:

Flair will flash Sasha, mesmerizing her and allowing Charlotte win.

[Droford]

Not fair to Charlotte Flair

[Volare]

Fuuuuck! Nice double clothesline.

[Sepholio]

One day something dumb will cause a main event match to end during the commercial break and leave them in a dastardly pickle.

[Emperor Smeat]

Feels like this could have been a bigger deal of a main event if the shenanigans earlier never occurred. Could have built up a lot of hype for this during the show instead of just a few mentions because Roman-Owens hogged a bunch of the focus.

Then again their Hell in a Cell build had similar issues with the WWE half-assing it after blabbing about multiple main events for the ppv.

[Droford]

One day something dumb will cause a main event match to end during the commercial break and leave them in a dastardly pickle.

The tape machines are rolling

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't think they're making a big enough deal of the women headlining this show.

[Evil Vito]

One day something dumb will cause a main event match to end during the commercial break and leave them in a dastardly pickle.

Problem is Raw has pretty much unlimited overrun time.

If something like this is going to happen it'd have to be SmackDown where USA has a hard cutoff.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow at that kick by Charlotte.

[Volare]

Damn those chops on the......well......jesus that's gotta hurt.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Charlotte's not emotionally inconsistent, guys—it's called "range."

[KIRA]

finally

[Volare]

LMAO Hid behind the camera man.

[RP]

I wanna lick Sasha's butt

[Sepholio]

Sascha just hit Charlotte with a kendo stick right in the pussy.

[KIRA]

If only they let Alicia Fox (or any of the other women really) cut loose

[Droford]

The fucking kendo stick is right..

Ok

[Volare]

The fucking kendo stick is right..

Ok

I was the same way lol.

[RP]

That announce table is fragile.

[Droford]

Announce table spot on RAW..ooohh

[Emperor Smeat]

Feud might be stale but got to hand it to both Charlotte and Sasha on not holding back with these matches. Just keep beating the shit out of each other every time.

[Sepholio]

Has anyone been put through the table since it was moved to the top of the stage?

[Evil Vito]

Charlotte's rack is looking pretty fine tonight.

[RP]

They should build that announce table better. I might make a thread.

[Droford]

Jumping off the announce table? Thsts a first

[KIRA]

Charlotte was married to Bram I'm sure she can take a beating.

[Volare]

Nice Moonsault.

[KIRA]

That announce table is fragile.

Except when Randy Orton uses it

[RP]

I bet Sasha blows the living shit out of a ding dong

[Evil Vito]

LOL guy taking a vid of Sasha's ass.

[Droford]

The guy in the backlash shirt got a nice picture

[Volare]

Crowd into this match. Making this alot better.

[Evil Vito]

I bet Sasha blows the living shit out of a ding dong

I've often wondered who gives the best head on the main roster.

Well, aside from Nikki Bella which feels like a given.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I bet its alexa bliss.

[Evil Vito]

Crowd into this match. Making this alot better.

Yeah, and they aren't being pretentious cocks either. Pretty good.

[Droford]

Lol of course

[RP]

I've often wondered who gives the best head on the main roster.

Well, aside from Nikki Bella which feels like a given.

I think Sasha does for sure

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

:o

[Evil Vito]

LMAO another title change.

[Sepholio]

Nice spot :o

[Volare]

OH SHIT THAT'S SMART!!

[KIRA]

This is some Benoit Sullivan shit

cool finish

[Savio]

Never defend in your hometown.

[Droford]

The one guy behind Sasha looks to have lost his mind

[Dark One]

That'll teach to have a title match in her hometown and/or Raw.

[Volare]

Great fucking match.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Its The Nature Boy

[RP]

Good stuff i love it

[Evil Vito]

Seriously why the fuck did Sasha need to drop the belt at HIAC?

[Droford]

This is some Benoit Sullivan shit

cool finish

Needed to go into the mens room

[Sepholio]

Lmao oh god

[RP]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Dark One]

By 2017 both these women will be 10 time champions.

[Droford]

Hey I called it

[Evil Vito]

Grab her by the pussy, Ric. It got a man elected President.

[Volare]

OH SHIT DA NATCH IS HERE!!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the guy's reaction when Sasha is just hanging around his lap at the end of the match.

[RP]

I really do love Sasha Banks.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Boss beats Charlotte for the title for the fourth time.

[Droford]

Sasha Banks $1

Hmm

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sasha Banks just did the impossible...she's done three times in the last three months..."

[KIRA]

Flair unbeknownst to him is being tracked to this building by debt collectors

[Volare]

Nice touch to the win here. Adds fuel to Ric not backing his daughter. (for now....)

[Dark One]

Wonder how much money they paid him to have him raise his daughter's rival's hand.

[RP]

Love Sasha. Love Womens Division.

[Sepholio]

Lmao Sascha gets beat in her hometown for the title by charlotte. Charlotte gets beat n for the title in her hometown by Sascha who is then praised by her dad in the ring. Touche. Sascha is one up now lol.

[Evil Vito]

That was a very good main event, I must say.

No real desire to see them wrestle yet AGAIN at Roadblock, but it's inevitable.

[Dark One]

Nice shot of Charlotte there at the end.

[Volare]

Glad I tuned in for that.

[Dark One]

That was a very good main event, I must say.

No real desire to see them wrestle yet AGAIN at Roadblock, but it's inevitable.

Ric Flair as the special guest referee so he can UNBELIEVABLY cheat for Charlotte.

[Evil Vito]

Hopefully Sasha actually hangs on to the belt until WrestleMania, when Bayley gets her big moment.

[Emperor Smeat]

Going to laugh if they do another Sasha-Charlotte match after the 2nd or 3rd time claiming the feud was done.

Either they find a way a very cheap way to get rid of Charlotte's rematch clause owed or they just ignore all the hype about this time being the final match.

[RP]

Hopefully Sasha actually hangs on to the belt until WrestleMania, when Bayley gets her big moment.

This has to happen for sure. It's the next evolution in the womans division .

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

weren't they saying the feud was over?

[Emperor Smeat]

https://68.media.tumblr.com/1e98e78299fe2c392148b9d69e087393/tumblr_ohdy0t34Kj1saykaxo1_400.gif

Sasha didn't hold back with all the kendo swings she was handing out tonight.

[DAMN iNATOR]

That explains nothing.

It's kinda (but not really) similar to the "Who dat?" stuff that the Saintas made popular, except New Day uses "Who?" to diss their opponents and on certain occasions, obscure names or moments in WWE/pro wrestling history.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What a great show from top-to-bottom:

* Jericho & Owens chewing scenery is great. This is what they mean when they say get yourselves over. Jericho's babyface character that occasionally tries to get booed by calling the fans "stupid idiots" isn't him stealing the show because he is bored, but rather him planting seeds for the ultimate babyface turn against Owens. I just hope they don't make him serious when he gets that push, because emotionally immature Jericho is glorious.

* Braun Strowman is money. I haven't seen a guy like that since the last guy they brought in like that. Sami Zayn feuding with Mick Foley is a great idea, because I'm sure Mick Foley is in the video game, and it'll make the video game makers really happy to have Zayn vs. Foley promoted for that video game. The WWE is so smart, sometimes I just can't keep up.

* I don't get why people are upset that Cedric Alexander lost in his hometown. This sets up a tag match for 205 Live perfectly. Look at the fan interest in Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte, and that is all about losing in your hometown. I just wish Goldberg had beat Brock in Brock's hometown.

* Rollins vs. Jericho is magic. I like the way that their fight was funny. Rollins has been a heel for so long that I think he needs to show a lighter side in order for people to really accept him as the top babyface hero in the company. I think he'll be wrestling Triple H at WrestleMania, and I think Triple H could use the win more than Rollins, but I hope that it will be a really funny match with lots of "Suck it" poses from Rollins.

* Doing the no contest for the women first was smart, because it means they get to make their entrances again, and who can get enough of these ladies walking out, right? They have 4.5 hours to fill with Main Event, so having these ladies wrestle twice was smart as fuck, because it built to their issue.

* People forget that circuses have something for everyone. Is the slut-shaming of Lana a bit too 90's? Yes, for many families, but this is a good way to hook edgy teens and adults. It's like those cheeky jokes you see in animated movies that are designed to pop the parents that take their kids. Enzo & Cass are the adult entertainment. In addition to 205 Live, I'd like to see them create an adults only show, and for Enzo & Cass to be the stars of that. Maybe have Lana wear skimpy gear and have John Cena say "crap" instead of "poop." It's like how Austin does the two podcasts. It'll be a good way to have the RAW and SmackDown crews interact too. They can give Bo Dallas a Godfather gimmick and turn his "Bo Train" into a "Ho Train." I really think that could bring back some lapsed fans of the Attitude era, but with cool new stars.

* Rich Swann has got so much charisma. A lot of people will say that they didn't like his promo, but I think it sounding bad makes him sound real. People react to real guys -- like Daniel Bryan. In fact, I think they should get Daniel Bryan to come out and endorse Rich Swann as Cruiserweight Champion when he takes the silver octagon at 205 Live.

* Brian Kendrick was a good short-term champion, but he's too eloquent when he talks, and he really shouldn't speak to announcers like that. Byron Saxton is the trusted voice of the people and Kendrick calling him a "quitter" will make people zone out of commentary. I understand he is supposed to be aloof and zany, but he shouldn't be given cart blanche to do whatever he wants. I'd have him lose the title in record time and then have him interviewed for a few weeks but he is speechless because Swann beat him so handedly. That might send a message. I just wish Noam Dar had beaten Swann tonight to set up an instant challenger.

* Also, if Swann can make his dancing a bit more lewd, he would be perfect for WWE Xpose -- the adults only show with Enzo, Cass and sexy Lana.

* As I said, I think making Sheamus and Cesaro gay is a good direction to go. They can go back to Cesaro firing Aksana -- which he would clearly only do if he were gay. Cesaro can bring back the European purses and Sheamus can be the "butch" one, although they both kick ass in the ring. The WWE needs more gay characters to make GLAAD glad. They should also let Darren Young wrestle more on RAW. Whatever happened to that push he was getting? He should come out with Bob Backlund and some sexy boys who hold up score cards of his winning streak. Bob can pretend to freak out because his character is old and homophobic, haha. If the WWE plays it right, they could get a Nobel Peace Prize once Darren Young beats Goldberg's record (of course you inflate it with house show wins for him too).

* I can't wait to see that awesome first-time clash between Owens and Reigns on PPV. Well, first time since tonight. You need to put yourself in the mindset of the kids that want Enzo to stuff Lana. They see Reigns win and now they think "Oh man, Reigns is going to win the title at Roadblock: End of the Line...I can't miss this for anything." It doesn't even matter if they don't like Reigns, they will want to be a part of that history and catch every title change. That is also why Charlotte should win the Women's Title back at Roadblock. Title changes are good and keep television exciting.

* Heyman's promo probably had too much emotion. He should have just no-sold the loss or said that Brock caught diverticulitis or had food poisoning because the food in Toronto was so bad. He should have accused Goldberg's wife of slipping poison into Brock's food so that Goldberg could win. It'd make the issues even more personal between them.

* The New Day can never get old. So hilarious. I especially like it when they make the owl sounds. I mean, I don't get it, but it sure is funny. Xavier Woods even has it written on his tights. It's easy to remember and therefore dumb kids can remember it easy and say it in the school yard, which is basically free advertising for WWE.

* For those of you saying that Xavier Woods cheating is dumb, you have to keep in mind that babyfaces can be rule-breakers. Did Stone Cold Steve Austin play by the roles? What about DX? What about Eddie Guerrero? Even Hulk Hogan used a back rake. A lot of people are predicting them to lose the belts soon, but I think with their new cheating ways they will be the top babyfaces by WrestleMania time -- even more popular than Enzo & Cass or John Cena saying "crap."

* It's nice they got Bayley on the show. I like the subtle tension between Bayley and Sasha. A lot of people are predicting that Sasha vs. Bayley will happen at WrestleMania, but I think it will be Charlotte vs. Sasha vs. Bayley in a 2/3 Falls Count Anywhere Hell in a Cell -- and this might surprise people -- but I think it will headline.

* Bayley with her hair down could be a big star on WWE Xpose. By the way, the logo for the show should be a DX cross-chop as the "X." Get it? An x-pose for Xpose.

* Ric Flair should be the General Manager of that show and should host it in his boxers. People will tune in just to see Ric Flair being crazy.

[RP]

Making Sheamus and Cesaro gay is fucking horrible

They have to do something with Rollins. Maybe have him interfere in the Goldberg Lesnar debacle I'm not sure. But he needs something major to happen to get him over.

[Evil Vito]

Morbidly, I almost don't want Raw to get better because I want to discover the point where Noid just completely goes off the deep end and descends into #BROKEN Noid.

[Dark One]

Raw would have been a great show if it was 45 minutes tonight.

[Mercenary]

Si I fell asleep, and just read results. Seriously?????? So Charlotte regains the title at roadblock....yep fuck the raw women's title

[Evil Vito]

I hope Raw has a huge following in Bulgaria and the show is edited around Rusev.

[Volare]

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uFv9X5z4Mw4?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Mr. Nerfect]

Si I fell asleep, and just read results. Seriously?????? So Charlotte regains the title at roadblock....yep fuck the raw women's title

I actually cannot keep up with how many title reigns each has. I'm glad they hammered home the point that Sasha now has three. And yes, Charlotte will win the belt back at Roadblock to keep that PPV streak going. As for the SDL belt -- I think that'll be going to Alexa Bliss very soon.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Oh boy! My favorite Noid gimmick is back! I love overly positive Noid.

[slik]

damn I fell asleep and missed the last hour, will have to youtube that main event

[Droford]

Feel like the New Day will be all.."we've beaten every one blah blah so here's an open challenge" and out comes the Revival to beat them but not until Roadblock after they break the record.

[rockman725]

The only negative thing I can say about the match.... I hated that they hot-potatoed the belt...again. Shit move with trying to build a new Woman's Division and establish the championship equal to the men's belt. This needs to stop.

With that being said, the match was awesome. All phases of it. This was a PPV-esque match that SHOULD HAVE replaced the HIAC match. If the Cell match was this match, I would not have been so critical of it being Main Event. Probably the best part about this was the finish. A "Falls Count Anywhere" match that did not end in the ring, at ringside, or on the stage...who'd thunk it!?! Actually, I love that it ended in the crowd. When was the last time a match ended with a fall or submission in the crowd? Can't even think of one right now.

[Juan]

I really don't think Sasha and Charlotte trading the belt is that big of a deal, if indeed this is the end of their feud.

It's established both women as THE top two women wrestlers in the company, so they can have meaningful feuds outside of the title picture.

I sure prefer this over just giving the belt to someone random every few months and building some half ass feud, like they used to do with the Divas title

[Ruien]

How does it end the feud? Charlotte gets her rematch right?

[Juan]

It has the end sometime. They're obviously not gonna keep doing rematches forever

I'm sure Charlotte will demand another match with Foley just telling her she has to get back in line. There doesn't HAVE TO be another match, but we'll see, I suppose.

[Evil Vito]

The guaranteed rematch clause is one of the worst things to happen in wrestling. It does nothing but promote lazy booking.

[Volare]

So apparently we're close to her, but yet so far away....

[Big Vic]

The guaranteed rematch clause is one of the worst things to happen in wrestling. It does nothing but promote lazy booking.Off topic (kinda) Rybacks countless rematches with Punk killed his momentum.

[Heisenberg]

Charlotte was pretty awesome tonight, why are they passing that title back and forth so quickly for?

[#1-norm-fan]

Off topic (kinda) Rybacks countless rematches with Punk killed his momentum.

Yeah, I actually thought the way they got out of the HIAC match was perfect. Kept Ryback looking like a beast, kept the title on Punk AND got the undefeated streak out of the way. There was no need to keep him in the title picture after that and fuck up his momentum.

[Evil Vito]

It used to be that the feud would end once the babyface won the title. But now in the land of guaranteed rematch clauses, you're always going to get the heel demanding their rematch only to chicken out of having it that night. So the feud arbitrarily carries on another month even though the big moment people wanted to see already happened.

It's reached the point where it feels like a plot hole if somebody DOESN'T get a rematch.

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched this..... RAW goes much faster when you fast forward through 90% of it. Who knew?

Pretty much watched:
- Chris Jericho/Kevin Owens mic time (but skipped through the Owens/Reigns match)
- Braun Strowman match aftermath with Sami Zayn
- Women's match(es).

Really weird how they keep the title going back and forth..... thought Charlotte was getting ready to move onto Bayley as a challenger now, and would have beat Sasha tonight.

Also "weird" how Smackdown made Becky Lynch/Alexa Bliss a no DQ match and "hyped" that as "historic" but then on RAW they are just like "whatever let's have a no DQ falls count anywhere match"

[Lock Jaw]

Oh yeah, also watched Paul Heyman and also Cesaro & Sheamus segment.


Paul Heyman doing his best to spin this into gold.... I do like the idea of "a Brock Lesnar with something to prove" making him even more dangerous than before.....

Would be cool if they did a bunch of "training montages" with Lesnar building up to the Rumble.... maybe include Carl Weathers talking about how he needs to get back that "eye of the tiger".......

[Evil Vito]

Wouldn't shock me if they make Goldberg and Lesnar the actual #1 and #2 entrants for the Rumble now. They could try to one-up each other via tearing through the first few schmucks who enter the Rumble match.

[Lock Jaw]

Or they just single-handedly eliminate everyone else in quick fashion

Dude who changes those things is probably like "Ugh, dammit, leave me alone already"

[KIRA]

off topic a bit Do they do anything to the IC belt at all when people win it ? It doesn't have a nameplate or custom plates that Ive seen.

• Raw begins with a three minute recap of last weeks main event. If that wasn't bad enough, then the opening promo was around fifteen minutes, which was then followed by a backstage segment which was around two minutes, meaning that we waited around twenty minutes for a match to start and when it did, it was a thirty-seven second squash match.

Seriously, who looked at that and thought "Yeah, that's great. Go with it!"?

That's abysmal.

What made it worse was that we were then treated to "Shouty Mick", which is probably the worst Mick. Mick Foley getting pissy when people say he's under Stephanie's thumb and all that is stupid. Foley doesn't like it when you basically tell him that he's Stephanie's bitch, but in a way, he kinda is. Stephanie is his boss. She controls him to an extent. What his boss says, goes. So whenever Foley bitches when people say stuff like that, it's just stupid and makes Foley looks like a retard for getting pissy at people that are basically stating facts, albeit not in the nicest of ways.

To end this on a positive note, I really like Strowman using the Running Powerslam as a finisher. It's such a good move and it's perfect for him. It also always reminds me of The British Bulldog, which is always good.

• Why is Alicia Fox involved in anything to do with The Cruiserweight Division? She should be off trying to win the Women's Championship, not be in love with Cedric Alexander.

I still think he needs a new theme though and some charisma wouldn't go a miss.

I like that Tony Nese won though. I'm really liking the team of Nese and Gulak. It feels really natural and just makes me think that maybe The Cruiserweight Division should have its own Tag Team Championships, but another set of titles would probably be far too much, considering the WWE currently has around twelve championships all-together.

• So Jericho and Rollins had a fight in a parking lot. I feel the chance of a parking lot brawl happening at Roadblock is now that little bit more greater.

• Women's Championship Match: Round 1 - Fun Fact: The referee's 10-count lasted 98 seconds (1 min 38 sec).

• It's probably because of how Raw began but times and promo lengths are jumping out at me tonight. Enzo & Cass were on the mic for just over three minutes. All so we can see Enzo get kicked in the balls twenty-five seconds later.

I said it last week, but I really hope this doesn't lead to Lana falling in love with Enzo, all because she saw his penis.

• "Hey Mark, you're a big movie star now. Let's take a look at a clip of you in action!"

*Clip is Mark Henry getting his ass handed to him*

What?

• Oh good, more Cruiserweights. Rich Swann is alright. He's growing on me but I liked him better when he didn't talk. I don't know why.

As for Dar, he's really boring and there's something about his face and general appearance that I find really annoying.

The Brian Kendrick is just so good no matter what he's doing. I'd love to see him retain against Swann but I feel that won't happen. I think Swann will get a "shock win", only to lose it back to Kendrick at Roadblock.

• Cesaro & Sheamus in a strange bar fight segment. I don't know what it is with Sheamus and segments that contain strange camera angles. So now that they've beaten up people in a bar, does that mean they'll work together and win the titles?

I genuinely think so.

• I skipped the Owens/Reigns match.

• So Xavier cheats again to retain the titles. I can really see New Day (Big E & Kofi) losing the titles on Raw now, just two days before they break the record and Xavier going apeshit at them and turning on them.

• Sasha wins the title again. Whoop dee doo. So how long now before Charlotte wins it back?

Personally, I just really wish someone else would be in the title scene with Charlotte. I'm just not a fan of Sasha Banks at all. I find everything about her to be terrible.

• Overall, Raw was really bad this week. I had hope after last weeks Raw, which was actually pretty decent, but it seems like we're just back to the usual now.

Raw being the B-Show but acting like the A-Show, and SmackDown being the A-Show but keeping quiet about it, even though it knows it's the A-Show.

Wouldn't shock me if they make Goldberg and Lesnar the actual #1 and #2 entrants for the Rumble now. They could try to one-up each other via tearing through the first few schmucks who enter the Rumble match.

I would support this idea if it wasn't already a given that brock vs lesnar 3 will be at mania. If they put them 2 in the rumble first and the rumble itself doubles as their blow off match then I say go for it. Have them be the first 2 in and last 2 remaining.

Lets rehash that feud

[Mr. Nerfect]

Summer Rae should be the valet for The Fashion Police -- after all, she does have history with both men.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I pretty much agree with Cool King's assessment.

Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn apparently want the WWE to be seen as legitimate television. The thing about that is that WWE breaks so many laws of television constantly. That whole opening segment with Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho and Roman Reigns was redundant. You could have opened with Sasha Banks addressing the WWE Universe via the screen -- challening Charlotte to make tonight's Women's Title match Falls Count Anywhere -- done the RAW intro, then started with Braun Strowman vs. R-Truth and cut right to the fucking chase.

As Dark One said -- RAW would have been great if it was a 45 minute show.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sasha Banks is a terrible babyface, by the way. She's over, that much is for sure, but her smiling nice girl act is disgusting.

[Evil Vito]

Yeah Sasha works way better as a heel. Hopefully she will go that route soon enough when she is challenged by Bayley.
