WWE RAW 12/26 feat. Braun Claus giving season's beatings, The Cage of Jericho, and #BeatUpEnzoDay

[Droford]

Big Ears

[slik]

Is TJ the first cruiser with a shirt?

I think so

[Lock Jaw]

Neville getting the chance to shine on the mic

[slik]

LET'S GO TJ

TJ SUCKS

TJ is the Cena/Roman Reigns of the cruiserweight division...I wonder if owenbrown likes/hates him...

[KIRA]

His next move is to jump Frodo and get the precious back

Seriously glad to see Neville running with this ball its like he fucking woke up from sleep walking

[slik]

I like this new evil damn opportunist Adrian Neville's attitude. Neville now is my favorite cruiserweight.

[Lock Jaw]

Love me some Charly Caruso.

Of all the new interviewers recently she is by far the least generic

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if Neville will wear a crown if he becomes "King of the Cruisers."

[Sepholio]

Why does every wrestler not from America eventually get saddled with the "murica r dum" gimmick?

[Black Widow]

I thought she was Layla for a second

[Droford]

Tag match playa

[Sepholio]

Lmfao. Enzo with his latest attempt to defraud social security.

[Triple A]

Enzo posted a pic of his rlly bruised arse and back

Rusev did seem like he was being really rough.....

(idk if real or wat)

Neville should have won that last King of the Ring instead of Wade Barrett

[KIRA]

Why does every wrestler not from America eventually get saddled with the "murica r dum" gimmick?

Well....they're not wrong look at who our president is about to be.

[Sepholio]

Let us know when it gets to "Still better than watching the Cowboys annihilate Detroit on Monday Night Football..."

We're at slightly better than watching the Lions annihilate the Cowboys on MNF.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh yeah, gotta light some candles.....

[Sepholio]

Jesus if that pick of enzo is legit then rusev should be fired immediately.

[Droford]

I still don't get the whole wild card finals thing

[Black Widow]

Trashsev is going to push Enzo off the ramp in that wheelchair. I guarantee it.

[Lock Jaw]

Perfect face on that AJ graphic reacting to Dolph's pic

[ClockShot]

Keep dreaming, Cole.

[KIRA]

Kudos to RAW for reminding me of a better show.

[Lock Jaw]

Enzo: "I had a run in with Rusev last week and boy is my ass sore tonight"

[KIRA]

So does Enzo ever get to back up his trash talk?

At this point he is more of a manager

[slik]

H8 Enzo now

[slik]

Where is EMMALINA

[Sepholio]

Omfg the reaction of dude catching the enzo hairpiece....gonna make my weekly request for a gif right now.

[ClockShot]

Where is EMMALINA

The more you ask, the less likely she appears.

[KIRA]

This is all sounding way more rapey than it should

[Lock Jaw]

Cass all but saying that Enzo can't fight Rusev and win

[Sepholio]

Cass looks legit angry. Might be a stiff match right here folks.

[Triple A]

Feels like Big Cass's promos are all "taking shots" at Enzo Amore...

"U beat up Enzo, who is a huge pussy... U aren't gonna beat ME up"

[Lock Jaw]

Is Jinder Mahal's theme an Indian cover of Titus O'Neil's theme?

[ClockShot]

Did Rusev lose a bet and gotta grow a beard?

[Sepholio]

Neville gonna join rusev and jinder for the new league of nations.

[KIRA]

Cass all but saying that Enzo can't fight Rusev and win

Vince all but saying he wants Cass as a singles guy and he could give a fuck about Enzo

[slik]

SD card this week almost feels like a mini-WrestleMania...


* AJ Styles (c) vs. Baron Corbin vs. Dolph Ziggler

* Bray Wyatt/Randy Orton (c) vs. American Alpha vs. USO's vs. Slater/Rhyno

* Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Becky Lynch

* John Cena returns

[Emperor Smeat]

Cass tossing Enzo with his broken ass into the air doesn't seem like a really smart thing to do.

[Lock Jaw]

THE WILD CARD FINALS!

(for some reason)

[Sepholio]

Yeah. That pic of enzo cannot be legit after that spot. I was already suspicious of it because of how antsy enzo looked sitting in the chair. That bump was confirmation.

[ClockShot]

At this point, I fully support a Enzo & Cass break up. It's ran it's course in my opinion.

[Droford]

[Sepholio]

Enzo should be a cruiser.

[Droford]

Bo is a face now

[ClockShot]

This match has "BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN SMASH!" written all over it.

:lol: "Thank You Strowman" chants

[Sepholio]

Thank you stroman.

[Dark One]

Braun beating up people with a Christmas Tree is way better than that TNA Holiday Hardcore match with Rellik.

[Droford]

Thank you Stroman

[Lock Jaw]

BRAUN should eliminate both Goldberg and Brock Lesnar in the Royal Rumble

[ClockShot]

:D

[KIRA]

Darren Young didnt get tossed into Backlund he was rushing to hold back the fury Backlund wouldve unleashed on Stroman.

[Dark One]

BRAUN should eliminate both Goldberg and Brock Lesnar in the Royal Rumble

Wrestlemania should just be a Braun vs Roster gauntlet match, and then the remaining four and a half hours of the show should be a Braun documentary.

[Sepholio]

BRAUN should eliminate both Goldberg and Brock Lesnar in the Royal Rumble

Then just look right at the tv audience and yell "BRRRRRAAAAAAUUUUUUNNNNN!"

[Emperor Smeat]

Wrestlemania should just be a Braun vs Roster gauntlet match, and then the remaining four and a half hours of the show should be a Braun documentary.

Would already be better than this year's Mania for sure.

[Triple A]

Raw seems OK and not "borderline unbearable" to watch tonight. I am usually really tired on Mondays, but today am well-rested. I think the "Monday" factor might have at least a little something to do with how unwatchable the show seems (to me)!

[slik]

Braun Strowman has honestly become one of my favorite performers in WWE. I never thought I would say that. I remember being really 'upset' at rumors of Braun/Taker feud last year.

[Triple A]

He still seems really boring in the ring to me (boring ass move set consisting of throws and clotheslines) but has been booked really well imo

[Lock Jaw]

Was just thinking how weird it was not having Sami Zayn on TV for two weeks as a method to build to a Last Man Standing Match........

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Braun plowing through some random guy in the crowd.

[ClockShot]

That fan just got taken the fuck out.

[Sepholio]

Damnit. They had to have a cluster fuck finish to protect Rollins and Braun there but I really wish they didnt.

[slik]

Did Braun just mow down a fan!?

[Lock Jaw]

Did Braun just mow down a fan!?

He was multitasking

[Droford]

Should rename the code breaker

[Emperor Smeat]

[Lock Jaw]

Emmalina a huge tease......

[Triple A]

I like the way Australian people say the words "so" and "no"

[Lock Jaw]

Feel like Golden Truth needs to win this match now......

[slik]

H8 Golden Truth

[Lock Jaw]

R-Truth's pants very mystifying

[KIRA]

That kick from Gallows was the one thing he learned in Japan

[Sepholio]

Member when r truth and goldust were main eventers? I member.

[Dark One]

Noam Dar hittin' on all the ladies.

[KIRA]

Gallows and Barry Darsow being given a run for their money by Golden Truth of all teams

[Lock Jaw]

[KIRA]

Why didn't they bring in elder Davri too?

[Droford]

Rich Swann from Baltimore looking like a Philadelphia Eagle..

I let it slide this time..

[KIRA]

Oh no Cruserweight time and my Crystal Meth Red Bull energy combo is failing gonna need to snort a line of coke to give it a boost

[Lock Jaw]

Swann's spinning superkick finisher doesn't seem like a good finisher in the day where everyone uses superkicks as normal moves

[Droford]

I wonder if they didn't have to waste time switching the ropes out for Cruiser matches if theyd have more time for wrestling

[Sepholio]

Rich Swann awful on the mic.

[slik]

no more Swann promos plz

[Lock Jaw]

Swann not impressing on the mic like Neville did earlier tonight

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch. Don't think Swann was supposed to flip that way.

[Triple A]

WW.......E

[Lock Jaw]

Sinister Neville the best

Wish he was going for the US Title instead

[KIRA]

Seriously stop doing the Red Arrow

[Sepholio]

Thank you neville.

[Triple A]

Heel Neville is cool

[Lock Jaw]

Actually, no I don't because that would mean just losing to Roman Reigns

[Sepholio]

Oldberg oldberg oldberg.

[Lock Jaw]

Now that it is "acceptable" for guys to have two names again, they should give Neville his first name back......

[Triple A]

Seriously stop doing the Red Arrow

Huh

[Droford]

Goldberg will be on RAW 13 times between next week and WM

[Emperor Smeat]

Sinister Neville the best

Wish he was going for the US Title instead

Can call it the "Battle of the Forgotten Ones"

Man That Gravity Forgot vs Belt That WWE Forgot.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Neville is just a name. He might as well be called Paul.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I love Goldust, but I hate R-Truth. I can't be racist because I love gold people.

[Lock Jaw]

Member that time Neville was about to beat John Cena for the US Title until Rusev interfered and caused the DQ, and Neville was just all "whatever" and never challenged for the title again or tried to get any revenge on Rusev for costing him the title

[Lock Jaw]

Michael Cole cracking up at Jack Gallagher

[Droford]

A duel

[slik]

Daivari wayyy better at promos than Swann

[slik]

This is the best cruiserweight feud of all-time, Gallgher vs Daivari

[Lock Jaw]

"Remember the Royal Rumble"

another terrible PPV tagline

[RP]

OH SHIT IS THIS A KEvIN OWens vs Roman Reigns match??? I've been waiting for this epic matchup for like ( a week ) ever!

[Ruien]

As much as some people hated the Elsworth stuff it is 10 times better than having two people wrestle against each other week in and week out.

[Sepholio]

Feel like RP is imagining this match as a fight between a giant turd and a black cock.

[Sepholio]

Jericho should put the production truck on the list for hitting his music and giving reigns a heads up he was coming.

[Lock Jaw]

[Lock Jaw]

Commercial for another "Underworld" movie...... seem to keep making these movies but I don't know a single person who talks about any of them...... same with the Resident Evil movies...... two franchises with "a lot of movies" that no one seems to ever talk about/care about, but keep making movies......

I have a lone friend who is a mega fan of both franchises. Underworld was cool when it first came out I guess.

Fuck. Raw it ending which means going back to work. Wtb more Christmas time.

Underworld was over when I was in like high school. Whow. I think that is accurate too since my step brother liked those movies. Feel like there hasn't been a new Underworld movie in like 6 years though.

This match is so good we are talking about Underworld and Resident Evil.

[Sepholio]

It will be the last RE movie with her as the main actress.

[Emperor Smeat]

1st Resident Evil movie was pretty good overall.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR-


Ah, screw it. I don't really care.

[Sepholio]

This match is so good we are talking about Underworld and Resident Evil.

You hear this Vince? We would rather talk about shitty resident evil and underworld sequels than watch Roman reigns. Take note.

[Emperor Smeat]

Reigns-Owens feud has been pretty boring overall. Pretty much a repeat of Rusev-Reigns with Owens barely getting any real upper hand moments in it.

[Ruien]

Roman won with Y2J interfering. How will Owens win when it's a true 1 on 1 match?

[slik]

How will he ever defeat him now with Jericho in a cage above the ring...sigh

[Lock Jaw]

Feel like I have seen Kevin Owens/Jericho vs. Roman Reigns/Seth Rollins in various combinations of one on one matches and tag matches every week for six months...........

[Sepholio]

Comcast was showing total divas airing next followed by last vegas. They just went straight to last Vegas on air. USA just said fuck total divas.

Jericho to drop The List for Owens to use as a weapon, setting up the most interesting program on the RAW side of things: Reigns vs. Jericho. No, I will not drop it until it feels like you have seen it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Wait, so Bayley is getting a title shot...but she lost to the champion here? Brilliant. The WWE is always coming up with such creative finishes. See, since the challenger usually wins non-title matches, this would have been shocking to the fans.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

She is still 2-1 against her.

[BigCrippyZ]

Feel like I have seen Kevin Owens/Jericho vs. Roman Reigns/Seth Rollins in various combinations of one on one matches and tag matches every week for six months...........

Probably because you have... for at least 3 months... I don't know though honestly, as I haven't been watching. Seems like standard WWE writing/booking though from last year when I was watching more often than not... so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

[Mr. Nerfect]

She is still 2-1 against her.

This parity means that their title match at the Rumble will be exciting. I expect fans to be on the edge of their seats for that one.

[Evil Vito]

Random Raw thoughts:

It's pretty much a rule with Raw in Chicago nowadays that a heel needs to shut down the CM Punk chants early, and Stephanie did that wonderfully. Obviously they kept chanting it later in that same segment but at least they didn't ignore it.

Sheamus and Cesaro are such a great team, they gel really well together. It's been a great use of the both of them after what was a boring best of 7 series.

Gallows and Anderson have been such flops this year. I can't tell if they're just not as good as I thought they were in Japan or if WWE just never saw much in them and only wanted to sign them to make a splash despite having no plans to make them look credible.

Jeri-KO still make me laugh in their promos.

Braun Strowman killing things has been one of the best parts of the show. He's such a throwback.

I want Enzo Amore to get the shit beaten out of him every week. The guy is such a dislikable character.

Rich Gallagher is gold.

I can't comment on if the main event was good or not because I didn't watch it. I just had no interest. This is the third time Owens and Reigns have wrestled each other one on one this month alone, including a PPV. Why should I want to see the match again? Why should I want to see them wrestle at the Royal Rumble when they've already been giving the match away? Having said that - not at all surprised to see Reigns went over the champion clean as a whistle. Of course he did. Why would you want the top guy on the show to look credible?

[Big Vic]

Can't shake off the feeling that Owens is a midcarder and him losing to Reigns doesn't help that.

[Evil Vito]

why the fuck did I say Rich Gallagher? oops

[Simple Fan]

Agree with Vito on Gallows and Anderson. WWE only signed them just to say they signed them like Kenny Omega said. A lot of it has to do with WWE being PG and not allowing them to do things they did in Japan. Karl Anderson not being Machine Gun also takes away from his character as he had a pretty cool entrance in NJPW. All in all WWE wanted to grab some of the Bullet Club cash and had no clue what to do with them once they had them.

[Simple Fan]

I think a lot of it also has to do with the differences in WWE and NJPWs tag divisions. NJPW does a better job at getting more teams over than just the champions. WWE focuses more on comedy with New Day in the division and having PG genitalia jokes.

[Evil Vito]

I do think Finn's injury might have hindered plans they had for Gallows and Anderson too. It seemed dumb to separate them away from Styles if they weren't going to either form the Balor Club or do some sort of angle where they try to pressure them to team with him.

Maybe so, I still have hope that when Balor returns they put him with G&A. Would like to see Styles be involved with them as well or maybe have his own Smackdown wing. Maybe they sign more BC members this year and pair them with Styles. Think the Bucks and Omega are staying put though for now. Maybe just take two guys from SD like Swagger and Corbin or Slater.
