<s>Matt</s> Riddle vs. Elias vs. Jeff Hardy for the final spot in Team RAW Men's was pretty good.

Half paying attention to tonight's show since Pats vs. Jets MNF game is going on right now on ESPN.

[Droford]

Retribution have shirts

[Emperor Smeat]

Poor Drew Gulak.

First he gets his membership application for Hurt Business rejected, then finds out the group is anti-clip-on ties, and now lost his 24/7 belt in a matter of minutes.


:| Lana vs. Shayna Baszler next. Only saving grace for that bout is Lana very likely continuing her streak of getting put through a table.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: at Lana not getting put through a table.

[Emperor Smeat]

Riddle & Keith Lee vs. Sheamus & Braun Strowman was pretty good.

Show's only half over and it mostly feels like a waste of time or slog to watch so far. Pats vs. Jets game hasn't been that much better either.

[Emperor Smeat]

Lana pushing her luck tonight by being at ringside for this Asuka vs. Nia Jax match.

[Droford]

:eek: at Lana not getting put through a table.

I guarantee she is now that she's out again for Jax/Auska

[Droford]

Survivor Series this year is just plain stupid

Rosters just got reset last month and 4/5ths of team raw was on SD prior and 2/4ths of Team SD was on Raw. Samevbasic thing for the womens 5 on 5 since both team SD were on RAW and 2/5th os raw was on SD. No one wants to see Lashley/Zayn. Profits/ New day and Auska/Sasha might be
decent matches i guess. Reigns/Orton is strange too.

I almost see Miz cashing in on Reigns Orton so he can pin either of them, thats the only thing that can save that match.

[xrodmuc316]

AHHHHAHAHAH TAKE THAT LANA, RUSEV DAY!

[Droford]

Lana is clearly going to be the Sole Survivor of the womens 5 on 5

Either that or she's eliminated in 30 seconds

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Lana got put through a table again.

Unlike Smackdown which has been mostly decent to good these past few months, WWE has been putting almost no real effort into making RAW better or even watchable these days.

[Droford]

Tucky 2x 24_7 champ

[Emperor Smeat]

This 24/7 title match might be the dumbest one ever done in the title's history.

WWE really needs to rethink when they hold their annual draft since the current timing is way too close to Survivor Series and they got bailed out last year by the novelty of NXT being involved for the interest in the show.

As is, the brands barely have any time for their new people to settle in and make the whole brand warfare be actually meaningful.

[Droford]

Ricochet gear is almost the exact opposite of Retribution down to the very similar R

[Droford]

I dont get calling Mia Yim up for Retribution if she's never going to wrestle

[Emperor Smeat]

I dont get calling Mia Yim up for Retribution if she's never going to wrestle

I'd assume Mercedes Martinez asking to get pulled from the group probably messed up whatever plans WWE had for her and Mia on RAW.

WWE not wanting to replace her with another NXT call up also ruled out Retribution going after the Women's tag belts.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Ricochet losing via being a dumbass.

Could have just hit Ali with a move for the win but decided to go after the guys at ringside instead and got baited into Ali's submission afterwards.

Ali vs. Ricochet was very good though.

[Emperor Smeat]

6-man tag match was decent.

If it wasn't for a couple of matches being entertaining to watch, tonight's show would have been in contention for worst RAW episode of the year. Instead it was mostly boring or dull overall like most RAWs have been this year.

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems WWE is currently considering the idea of Asuka vs. Nia Jax as a potential main event match for next year's WrestleMania.

Last night’s WWE RAW featured a line on commentary where Byron Saxton mentioned WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Nia Jax vs. RAW Women’s Champion Asuka being “WrestleMania main event worthy.”

That line was included in the commentary on purpose, according to Fightful Select.

It was noted that the line was scripted and completely instructed to Saxton. There was no ad-libbing on Saxton’s part for that line as it was a total directive from WWE officials.

There’s no word yet on if this means they are planning Jax vs. Asuka as one of the WrestleMania 37 matches. We’re still several months away from the big event and plans can obviously change, especially for the women’s division.

The non-title match between Asuka and Jax on RAW ended in a disqualification after Jax’s partner Shayna Baszler interfered.

[Droford]

If they get WM blocked from a big stadium again and don't have to sell tickets i could imagine a really shitty phoned in Mania
