Wouldn't be surprised if Joe got hurt again since the Observer's spoiler report mentioned his head hitting the hardest part of the table.
Seth then hit the stomp on Rey in the stage, and AOP put Joe through the announcer’s table with their combo powerbomb. Joe looked like he hit his head on the support portion of the table — really nasty.

Samoa Joe should have been groomed to be a special attraction from day one. They really fucked up with him.

Vince was a great announcer. He probably shouldn’t have given it up. Now he just spends his time yelling at announcers in private when he could be on air trying to relate to black people and making the show a million times better in the most awkward way imaginable.

Yes.
No..for some reason RAW gets this Monday off but Friday SD doesn't. It must be a contract thing...USA says sure, why not and FOX says NOPE

That might have been the most useless opening segment of RAW this year. Guess on the bright side, it was pretty short.

Not sure what's worse, the shaky cam or the constant camera cuts during the Owens beat-down spot.
AEW and NXT not doing the first and limiting the use of the second is another reason why watching their shows is more enjoyable than RAW and Smackdown.

Crowd must have been really dead for this Lashley vs. Cedric match since WWE went full blast with the pipe in reactions.

Zack Ryder getting quality screen time is a Christmas miracle. Sure most of it was him getting beaten up and manhandled by Drew McIntyre.
That was also one of the most nothing 1st hour of RAW in a long while.

Guess the rumor of Becky vs. Ronda Rousey or Shayna Baszler at Mania 36 is true if they are already getting the Asuka match out of the way and likely at Royal Rumble.

Aleister's Black Mass kick might be the best looking kick in wrestling these days.

:lol: at Tozawa pulling a Truth with the 24/7 title shenanigans.
That stuff and Becky's segment have been the only really interesting stuff to happen soo far tonight. All the matches soo far were pretty much useless and/or way over-done squash stuff.

Unless they are actually calling up Chelsea Green soon, it makes no sense why they booked her to have a very competitive match with Charlotte.
Neither her nor Deonna Purrazzo have done anything on NXT in a long while so its not like they are desperately needed there and the main roster would benefit more with those two instead.

Just took a chunk of time off the two-episode taping. Can't be all 30-second squashes or they'd need way more jobbers.

OC vs. Orton & Viking Raiders was pretty good overall.
Just took a chunk of time off the two-episode taping. Can't be all 30-second squashes or they'd need way more jobbers.
They could have used that quality time to help the RAW women's division itself than come off as just trying to make NXT look good again.
Sure the division has slim pickings for quality opponents but that's why these type of matches are very helpful when it comes to building up or rebuilding someone's status.

That might have been the creepiest jobber WWE ever found. Don't blame Rowan for not wanting to eat a candy cane that was offered to him from the jobber's trunks.
:lol: at the ref calling it quits on 24/7 title shenanigans tonight.

Rusev's antics has been the only redeemable stuff about this never-ending Lana infidelity storyline.

US title match was pretty good overall. Joe getting smashed through the table didn't look that bad compared to the Observer's report of the show although the camera angle didn't make it clear where his head hit it.
RAW itself was average at best but the better of the two shows they taped last week.
