So Corbin is just going to stay dressed like that he's not going to wear his dead wolf hobo vest anymore

Baron pins Elias clean. Yikes.

One thing Baron Corbin really has going for him is that he's really easy to hate

I think we will start seeing more changes in the coming weeks. The last 3 weeks since the announcement have been throwaway shows due to Christmas, New Years Eve and now the NCAAF Championship game. There is also a chance that they wont really get to it until the rumble. Its not like they were just going to throw away all the current feuds for no reason and they can use the rumble to close off the current storylines in order to go in this new direction of theirs. But hey, hopefully this time has given them a chance to come up with some decent ideas for once. I hope so anyways.

Where is the Dean Ambrose that used to hold female interviewers hostage pinned against a wall with a fork I miss that Dean Ambrose

God dammit, I wanted EC3 to go to SmackDown

Well, is that how he won Renee over?

Wouldn’t surprise me if Dean and Renee incorporate that into kinky sex

Main Event is Co-Branded isn't it?

I'm sure she look through his old tape collection and saw that and thought it was hot

Yeah going by Smackdown these past few weeks, the changes helped refresh things there but would have been better off just holding back the announcement till this week if they had no real plans for RAW. At least they wouldn't have wasted like 3 weeks worth of interest people had for the promised changes.

I'm sure there will be something next week that will necessitate another phoned in show

I mean, it is the day after Sunday after all.

Where is JoJo? Keep her there.

wake this show up Paul

with Bray?

Bait and switch?

THE ALL NEW MONDAY NIGHT RAW

This split screen is awkward af

Beastie Boy. That's an insult to the real BBs

Was stroman's hurt elbow the reason he lost to Brock last time

oh god this is bad

This segment is awkward.

Wow! Are they freestyling? Because this is absolutely terrible.

What's left that's scheduled for tonight?

Should have pulled a page from the Joe-Lesnar feud and done it all backstage.

Lesnar's titantron is probably the worst.

Why doesn't he just go after Brock? Not like he's got any friends behind the curtain.

THE ALL NEW MONDAY NIGHT RAW

I feel like I probably should have continued my vacation.

That was terrible

Right, Brock came out there, why would Braun just stand. Just go to the floor and fight him.

Shit makes no sense.

NEW ERA!!

who the fuck is Lacey Evans? Looks like GLOW's Liberty Belle. Ahh, I really should watch NXT.

Either that means WWE is debuting them before tonight's RAW is over or they are getting even more dumber now.

The worst television series ever coming back: Temptation Island. Holy shit

Isn't mixed match challenge over? Why is Foxy still with Jinder?

Falls anywhere

There's KIRA'S girl

It appears I didn't miss anything over the past two weeks, at least for Raw.

Can anyone think of literally anything so far tonight that's mattered and will be relevant even next week?

oh god a Jinder promo

You were on break with all of us. Pre tapes

Jinder gonna start going "THIS IS... THE WORST CITY... I HAVE EVER... BEEN IN" ?

OMG THIS IS HORRID

Need an Orlando pop for their new demo reels?

Hogan must have just left the arena, now WWE doesn't have to hide all of the minorities :)

Other than Gene Okerlund Alicia Fox's single-handedly saving this show

I figured most of the Black girls and guys would have refused to be on a show with Hulk Kogan.

Guess not.

You know from a distance Apollo Crews looks like he could be been a big deal

Let's be honest, the eclipse is the best finisher in the game today.

I would be ok w/ Ember winning the women's Royal Rumble and facing Asuka at WM

Make-up cannon in full effect on Alexa

I predict the next segment involves Alexa challenging Ronda to a match at the RR

We aren't worthy also I'm glad to see she's having so much fun with it it looks like she just enjoys being on TV and being goofy even though she's ridiculously talented

Just saw Batista landed a role in Dune, which is probably gonna be another big franchise.

The match should end at Full Sail with the Undisputed Era kicking all of their stupid asses.

The only real problem I have with it is that I have this criteria that a finisher should be able to be applied anywhere and if Ember Moon tries to to do that outside the ring she's going to destroy her spine

Roll Tide is getting rolled. lol

Yeah hopefully this time they can get all the exposition out of the way before they hit you with the confusing Rising Messiah story

I do like that Alexa's set is on the stage instead of the ring

That would be incredible

Wow Alexa could your eyeshadow be any thicker

Jesus Christ, who keeps booking this fat bitch.

Oh jesus.

We would all like to forget about you Nia.

NO

Uhh I don't know how much of an Underdog Story you have when your tangentially related to Snoop Dogg

300.5 ounce Samoan?

Nice to see some attitude from Sasha again.

Did Nia just say she weighs 300 ozs

I feel like no one actually timed or spaced this show in advance.

Jesus Christ Why

Nia said she weighs 300.5 ounces lol. That's like 19 pounds by the way.

The fat no talent cow is so stupid she doesn't even understand how fat she is.

Wonder if Bayley is seething in anger backstage that her "best pal" randomly gets a chance at a title shot and she gets nothing as usual.

If there was ever a chance to bring back SwitchBayley, this would be it.

Plz let Sasha win this, not Nia

Becky is currently what Bailey could have been man

No SD/RAW set for the entrance at Royal Rumble btw

Wrestlers will enter from the dugout instead

Gotta be like a 20% chance at most that Sasha makes it through this match without injury.

BUDGET CUTS

This episode has made me very happy with my decision to not attend Raw in Portland on the 4th.

It may look like Alexa got hit with the makeup Cannon but it looks like Tamina got hit with a makeup railgun

Reading through these comments is pretty funny. There are even some TNA lols.

I remember shows in the 80's would have 2 entrances, one on each side of the arena.

A heels and a faces entrance. God Bless oldschool kayfabe lol

Tonight Show with Princess Bliss

Seems pretty clear WWE aren’t sweating AEW though.

She's the only true Rock relative in the business.

I hope the rating goes down even more somehow, even though nothing is running.

At this point Sasha's back has more twists and turns in it then Mario Kart Rainbow Road

Remember in the attitude era when only the biggest matches went on long enough for a commercial break.

Now Nia Jax is on for 3 straight segments...

Too fat to even cross her legs :(

This crowd sounds like they're at Mean Gene's funeral.

So if she gets this wind does it mean that's the end of the Boss Hog connection

Nia's pussy probably looks like the sand pit Bobo Fett died in.
