When they came out they said Ricochet/Black were on RAW, but then during the match they were all "anything can happen! This could be any of these men's last time on RAW!"

If so, then last week's squash of Bayley makes even less sense now.

She was a face for this segment, and she'll be a heel next week when it suits them.

So much bad pantomime in the two of the three segments I've seen. The Iconics and Alexa are terrible actors. Sami Zayn has good delivery, but that content was cheesy as hell.

Sepholio 04-15-2019 09:45 PM

Obvious she was coming over to RAW. lol graves throwing more shade at Sasha by saying Naomi is a definite upgrade for Bayley. Incredible.

Lock Jaw 04-15-2019 09:45 PM

Women tag champs with another meaningless squash match.

Only this time, they lost it.

GD 04-15-2019 09:46 PM

Missed the "Sami Zayn-Alexa Bliss" segment due to a phone call. Hope it wasn't eventful. Also where is Sasha Banks?

Sepholio 04-15-2019 09:46 PM

Lol and then they squash the champs. Wow.

xrodmuc316 04-15-2019 09:48 PM

It's amazing how much WWE killed EC3. Dude just got zero reaction.

GD 04-15-2019 09:48 PM

Dixie Carter's baby nephew is in the house.

Sepholio 04-15-2019 09:48 PM

I wonder if there is some kind of underlying situation involving Sasha at this point, more than just the being fed up with creative. How often does WWE go to this length to smear someone?

Emperor Smeat 04-15-2019 09:49 PM

IIconics are pretty much the female version of Elias.

Great with their shtick outside the ring but are somewhat bad once the bell rings.

So they just saved time and skipped over the middle part where people care for a bit

Alexa Bliss introduced Zayn who got a big pop. He led the crowd in an "Ole!" chant and acted like it was the coolest thing ever, despite it being tepid to anything at any sporting event. Bliss said "It must be great being in Montreal" and Zayn said he likes the city, but hates the people, *wink* *wink*. Crowd boos and Alexa says "Rude." And Zayn rips on people from Montreal and Bliss stands up for them delivering some awful lines about Zayn blaming fans.

It was not eventful.

Sami Zayn segment was good imo... not really eventful but was entertaining

And they showed a backstage "earlier today" segment with Bayley trying to call Sasha on the phone but not being able to reach her, so the IIconics made fun of her and Bayley said she'd find a new partner... Then later in the match, Graves said that Sasha "quit the game"

All the time when it was JR.

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 09:51 PM

The Aussie accent is awful on TV. Not sure if it's because they are from Sydney/Melbourne or it's just because we can't talk properly.

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 09:51 PM

EC3 got a shot. He wasn't very good. I mean, they could have tried harder, but they also could have not tried at all.

RP 04-15-2019 09:52 PM

If Jeff Dunham coming to RAW?

xrodmuc316 04-15-2019 09:52 PM

Jesus Christ, they can't even make a new stupid ass buzzards video? We have to see the same one for the 3rd time?

Triple A 04-15-2019 09:52 PM

Feel annoyed @ it being unclear who is "officially on Raw"

rez 04-15-2019 09:53 PM

Because..of course

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 09:53 PM

Braun gets no reaction either.

Emperor Smeat 04-15-2019 09:53 PM

Poor EC3, looks like he was finally going to get some time to shine but now probably getting shipped back to Main Event.

Triple A 04-15-2019 09:53 PM

wonder what EC3 did wrong backstage

I wouldn't bank on it not changing by next week, but I imagine that the wrestlers who appear on Raw this week and win are going to be on Raw moving forward, and whoever shows up on SmackDown this week are on SmackDown.

Sepholio 04-15-2019 09:54 PM

Poor EC3

When? The 2 months he spent backstage looking at himself in the mirror not talking? Or the 2 months they had him jobbing to Apollo Crews on Main Event?

GD 04-15-2019 09:55 PM

Michael Cole can probably make the second coming of Jesus underwhelming.

When he got two weeks against Dean Ambrose and didn't make an impression despite all the bullshit hype about him. He wasn't exactly turning heads in NXT either.

True, but Graves and Young aren't much better. The commentary is objectively awful bullshit white noise.

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 09:58 PM

Cole just called Becky "The Man" about eight times as "The Man" is all that is shown on the screen. I guess she's The Man?

The 2 weeks when he didn't talk and Dean treated him like a jabroni to turn back face after his horrible Bane heel gimmick? Where EC3 got a win and instantly gave it right back the next week, again without talking...

Lock Jaw 04-15-2019 10:00 PM

Random Eric Young draft

rez 04-15-2019 10:00 PM

Wish Pat McAfee had laid Cole out backstage at WrestleMania

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 10:00 PM

I find it kind of weird that Mattel does that ad where they are so pumped to have these action figures. "You two can walk out your favorite and pretend they are cutting a 20-minute promo or going 50/50 in meaningless matches!"

xrodmuc316 04-15-2019 10:00 PM

Lol Eric Young to Raw, by himself, not even shown on TV. WWE sure builds stars

GD 04-15-2019 10:00 PM

Poor Eric Young.

Mr. Nerfect 04-15-2019 10:01 PM

Haha, welcome to Raw, Rey!

slik 04-15-2019 10:01 PM

Eric Young lol

Lock Jaw 04-15-2019 10:01 PM

Y'all notice how Liv Morgan started doing her walk again after ABT stopped posting?
