RAW - New Year's Eve - OFFICIAL THREAD

[slik]

Sounds pretty boring to me



1 - Drew McIntyre defeated Dolph Ziggler in a steel cage match. Drew vowed to win the Royal Rumble after the match.


* HHH & Shane arrive in a limo


* Seth Rollins cuts a promo about how he is mad Dean won the IC belt and he wants a rematch. HHH & Shane come out and say no more rematch clauses in WWE. HHH says he wants to see the old Seth Rollins again. HHH announces Seth vs Bobby Lashley and Shane announces a Battle Royal w/ the winner facing Dean for the IC Title.


2 - Apollo Crews wins the IC battle royal. Other people in the battle royal were Lucha House Party, Zack Ryder, The Ascension, Curt Hawkins, The B-Team, No Way Jose, Finn Balor, Baron Corbin, Titus O'Neil and Mojo Rawley. The final two were Apollo Crews and Baron Corbin.


* Natalya cuts a promo backstage saying she is entering the Royal Rumble. Nia Jax and Tamina attack her.


* Baron Corbin comes out and cuts a promo about how being in the battle royal earlier wasn't fair.


* Elias comes out and sings a song. Baron Corbin and Elias end up fighting before Corbin retreats.


3 - Bayley, Sasha & Ember defeated The Riott Squad.


4 - Bobby Lashley defeats Seth Rollins by DQ. Rollins snapped during the match at being unable to defeat Lashley and attacked him and Lio Rush with a chair. Rollins then gave Lio Rush a curb stomp. This might have been a double turn.


5 - Jinder Mahal/Singh Bros defeated Rhyno/Heath Slater


6 - Dean Ambrose defeated Apollo Crews.


* A promo says next week will debut Alexa Bliss's new talk show "A Moment Of Bliss" w/ her first guess Ronda Rousey


* A promo airs saying Brock and Cena will both be on the Jan 7th RAW


7 - Ronda Rousey & Natalya defeated Tamina and Nia Jax in what was said to be a really long match.

[Fignuts]

No one cares enough about Lashley or Rollins to do a double turn

Also, this sounds like garbage.

[Ruien]

Really? Rollins was loved like 6 months ago. Did that change?

[ClockShot]

No more rematch clauses?! I guess they're somewhat listening.

It's the New Era
It's what the fans want
It's Apollo Crews

Rollins is not loved. He’s liked.

[slik]

Someone on reddit noted that the Riott Squad first attacked Bayley/Sasha after the superstar shakeup. The match on RAW NYE will mark the 17th match on RAW in 2018 between some variation of Sasha/Bayley and the Riott Squad.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sounds like the same old shit. Lol at the random Apollo Crews push. I doubt they're doing a Rollins/Lashley double-turn. Sounds more like they are trying to give Rollins an "edge" like AJ Styles has. It won't work, because it will come off cheesy as hell.

[Evil Vito]

I've been calling for the end of automatic rematch clauses for a while because it promotes lazy booking. But in most cases I expect that whoever just lost the belt will probably simply win a number one contender's match anyway.

[slik]

Judging from SD Spoilers you are correct ^

They should have done it on SmackDown immediately following the brand split when they were billing it as the “land of opportunity”.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Automatic rematch clauses are lazy, but they also mean that a babyface that has to drop a belt looks foolish at least twice. It's fine if you're going to smash a babyface over a heel every now and then (Batista over Triple H in 2005, for example), but losing to Cena three times hurt Rusev far more than simply losing to him once.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Seems like it's been a decent enough show so far. Not looking forward to Sasha/Bayley/__________ v. Riott Squad 6-woman tag edition #36429518703, though.

[erickman]

Zach rider is getting his 1 raw match of 2018

What? You dont want to see this match for the 50th time in 2018? What's your problem? :wtf:

[RP]

Ember/Sasah/Bayley vs Riott Squad??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?

IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDdd

THE NEW ERA!

[RP]

It's crazy. I've been emailing and texting the WWE and basically I've been saying " Hey guys! I dont think i've had enough of Sasha/Bayley/Ember Moon vs Riott Squad this year. Can we end this year out with one more?" ....

And you know what? Because i'm the fan and this is what I want and WWE is giving the fans what they want! They said " Hey RP! We're gonna give you that match ".

WOOOOOOOOOO THE NEW ERA IS AMAZING!

[RP]

How the hell did WWE know i wanted Apollo Crews to win a battle royal to face Dean Ambrose????

These guys are so good. They just know what the fans want.

This is the New Era for sure.

[slik]

This might be the first time in tpww history the RAW thread doesn't even crack pg. 1

[Ruien]

Ha

[Ruien]

Rollins can still cut a damn good promo

[Ruien]

Watched via raw.com highlights

[Ruien]

He should still be the main guy of WWE

[Ruien]

How did the really miss the Rollins boat........ such an amazing heel and very good face

[Ruien]

He was in the main event picture forever too. Then downgraded. Then he was the premier person on Raw forever.

[Ruien]

Omg what if they finally figured it out and he takes the belt off Brock

[Ruien]

How many shots has Braun had at the title? As a monster hes on valuable for a short amount of time. And WWE fucking it up

[Ruien]

I dunno. I dont want WWE to die but it's going to at some point.

[Ruien]

I wonder if RAW would be successful with NXT booking or if stars bring in the viewers.

[slik]

I really liked when Rollins was the top heel and Dean was the top face a couple years ago when everyone was out w/ injury. Seth is good.

[Ruien]

Maybe wrestling is just dead too.

[Innovator]

Who called that a double turn? Idiot

[Ruien]

Rollins is the best heel in the company. That fake laugh. As minor of a thing it made him unique.

[slik]

Cody/Young Bucks are supposed to announce something at midnight Pacific time tonight...maybe make All Elite Wrestling official perhaps

[slik]

Yep, that heel Rollins cackle!

[Ruien]

Is that another PPV or a wrestling company?

[Ruien]

I wish I had USA channel :( Lashey va Rollins sounds like a good matchup.

[Ruien]

This might be the first time in tpww history the RAW thread doesn't even crack pg. 1

NEVER!

[slik]

Who called that a double turn? Idiot

I take it then it wasn't at all. I had better luck copying/pasting SD spoilers because people were uploading videos on twitter like crazy, especially of the Becky Lynch/Cena segment. RAW was oddly quiet during the taping on social media in comparison.

[Ruien]

I have to go back to training on the 2nd. Fuck my life :(.

2 weeks in the fucking field to boot.

[slik]

Military training?

[slik]

Is that another PPV or a wrestling company?


It seems like it! One of the billionaire owners of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tony Khan, filed a bunch of wrestling trademarks for a group called ALL ELITE WRESTLING (AEW) and Cody, The Young Bucks, Chris Jericho and Jim Ross have all hinted at being involved.

[Ruien]

Damn

[Ruien]

Military training?

Ya I went back in but as an officer so I can make lots of money.

[slik]

Nice, congrats dude!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Who called that a double turn? Idiot

Wrestling fans believe some crazy things. There are people who think tweeners are things and Jinder Mahal was a good heel champion.
