RAW 3.9.20 - Edge Returns, Shayna Celebrates

[slik]

The road to WM has no more pit stops...

[slik]

It's ironic Drew McIntyre is in a big match at WM because he left WWE and wrestled all over the world and grew as a result, because he likely wouldn't get out of a contract today.

[Evil Vito]

Edge’s return to get back at Orton would’ve been a cool moment. Too bad they have to announce everything in advance.

Have to do something to try and get a bit of interest in their half assed product.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Personally when someone attacks my wife and cripples my friend, I like to give advanced notice of my intentions to confront their assailant to let him know that while I’m filled with rage, I also believe in proper planning.

I am having PIZZA and I have a delicious cranberry scone and a bag full of Easter style peanut butter cups if it comes to it.

RAW being on episode 1398 means somewhere around late February to early March 2022 is when WWE celebrates RAW's 1500th episode.

Either Heyman completely gave up on him or Vince did which wouldn't be surprising at all.

[Emperor Smeat]

Mysterio vs Garza was pretty good.

[slik]

When will the Hispanic wrestlers get to face people who are not Hispanic?

[Emperor Smeat]

Why would Owens throw away the one thing he had that could have even up the odds in that backstage fight.

3 vs 1 but he has a weapon in the form of portable luggage. Instead of wildly swinging it around to take down everyone in his path, he just throws it away and gets beaten up. That's like the 2nd time this situation happened to him against Seth's pals.

[slik]

"90,000 people"

It doesn't seat anywhere near that many lol

[Emperor Smeat]

When was the last time Charlotte gave a really good promo since I'm struggling to think of one that didn't involve her rambling on about stuff or repeat the same talking points.

Also that Charlotte-Rhea segment probably would have been a lot more effective on NXT instead of on RAW.

[Splaya]

Even though it’s a different situation, they easily could have had orton wrestle and edge cole through the crowd similar to when Hardy attacked Edge when it was learned edge fucked Lita. Crowd would have ate it up.

Instead he comes out at 1048, goes on about how he’s going to kill Orton, then orton comes out and says he did it out of love.

Although with the hatred they’ve made this feud out to be, I’ll forgive them if they go shock level and put them in the hell in a cell at mania.

or they lock tongues

Rusev is a saint for purposely getting suspended to knife one of the worst story lines ever.

[Emperor Smeat]

Poor Ryder, the one time he gets some rare tv time, it ends up being just for a quick squash match.

Catering must not be that good tonight if he was willing to be away from his food kingdom.

[rez]

this fake ass spider shit still?

[Emperor Smeat]

Rowan might be the least effective "monster" heel WWE has built up in a long time.

Spent months just squashing no name jobbers while carrying around a cage that had a lame payoff.

Then in a span of like a month and a half, this was the result when he faced any real competition:
* Got quickly eliminated by Lesnar as if he was nothing
* Lost twice to Black despite Black being "injured" beforehand for one of their matches
* Got treated like a fool against Drew

[slik]

RIP dumbass fake spider

[Sepholio]

this show has been awful so far to me other than Seth/Black confrontation.

They don't know what to do with them since Brodie left

[rez]

Ahhh Ms. Sane. The only reason to watch RAW.

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess the rumor of a Triple Threat for the Women's tag belts at Mania might be true based on that tease by Asuka.

Also :lol: at Bliss getting a tag title shot because she started complaining on Twitter about her lack of screen time and spotlight treatment in recent weeks.

[Emperor Smeat]

Women's tag match was decent.

Natty probably regrets ever picking Liv as her tag partner. Then again, very slim pickings on RAW for a face team.

[slik]

really wish AJ vs Taker was a tag match instead

[slik]

No one cares about Michelle McCool

[Emperor Smeat]

If the idea was for this to be like some sort of pipebomb or shock dig on Taker, then it didn't work at all.

Also Taker vs. Styles probably going to be terrible if its anything but a quick squash for Taker. Doesn't help Styles at all but at least he won't have another high profile match than ends up being way too long and boring.

[slik]

They don't call him "The Phenomenal One" because of his mic skills, that's for sure.

[Evil Vito]

Riddick Moss with another clean title defense with nobody else trying to win the belt as the 24/7 rules have seemingly been scrapped from the 24/7 title.

[Emperor Smeat]

24/7 title without the shenanigans is just a useless belt.

[slik]

Wow Riddick Moss is....bad

[Emperor Smeat]

That might have been one of the worst spears ever by Edge.

[Evil Vito]

lol camera angle blatantly showing MVP's head not hitting anything

[Emperor Smeat]

Think Edge just became a badass submission machine.

He had the "I just snapped" eye stare going on and randomly busted out a submission to MVP.

[rez]

Edge showed better acting in Haven

[rez]

Rollins probably scooped up the popcorn from last night

[rez]

corona corn

[Emperor Smeat]

Black vs Rollins was way better than Black's match with Styles last night.

[Emperor Smeat]

Also that's back to back nights where Black needed someone to bail him out of a situation he could have avoided.

Heyman spent months building up Black as an unstoppable badass only to start chipping away his mystic in the span of 48 hours.

[rez]

I wonder how many there are today? Freddy Prince Jr still collecting a paycheck?

20 writers
As of 2015, WWE had over 20 writers, all of whom come from a variety of backgrounds, including soap opera, movies, and theater, according to Bleacher Report.

[slik]

this raw sucks

Freddy left years ago.

He's talked about his time there over the years and usually split between stuff he was involved with and how bad it was at times working for Vince.

[slik]

feel like the road to the royal rumble had more energy than the road to wrestlemania (so far)

[rez]

ahhh, gracious

Did Freddy meet up with Vince/WWE through Scooby Doo franchise?

[slik]

why is this the main event of raw

[Emperor Smeat]

Crowd probably would have been more invested in this main event tag match had Heyman and Creative bothered to build it up for the show.

Instead its just going on for the sake of it and at the cost of Black getting any revenge tonight on Rollins.

[Emperor Smeat]

8-man tag match was pretty good but also just another throw-away match like Rollins vs. Black before it.

RAW itself was mostly forgettable. The MVP, Edge, and Orton stuff was the only really interesting thing from tonight's show.

[slik]

3 raws left till Mania and it feels like they have no idea what to do with half the raw roster

Wwe as usual being gimmicky with their numbers which for some reason includes all the staff at the building and a healthy dose of bs.

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably just stick as many of them on the Battle Royals as usual.


Ms Sane, too

You're right. RAW had two very interesting things tonight for a show that was 3 hours long.

[Gerard]

Edge is looking more bug eyed than he ever did for some reason...

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL Not even 1 page by the end of the show.
