RAW thread 5/14/2018 - Now with 100% less spoilers... and 100% MORE Roman Reigns - "OH MY!"
 

Gonna miss the action b/c work but I know Rollins-Owens should be good.

Can someone who read the spoilers tell me if this is a tolerable show or no?

boooo

Roman Reigns and Jinder Mahal START the show

"Typical United Kingdom reception for Roman Reigns"

Listen man. You have this reaction like four weeks in a row, it's not typical location reception. It's the typical reception, full stop no caveats.

He has to say it to avoid being gang raped by Vince and Roman after the show.

Did Kurt say "Brock Lester"? Kinda sounded like it.

"Add me in"

"BOOOOOOO"

Do you really need to read the spoilers to know?

Roman taking out the catering table. what a super dick.

Jinder Mahal is in the right here

VINCE: we're across the pond how is he still getting booed?

He had to save Nia and Rhyno from themselves.

I'm probably better off watching the Hockey game than this with how the spoilers play out.

Not sure that opening up your show with two of the most despised pushes in the past couple of years is a smart move, but hey, WWE is a perpetual motion cash machine at this point I guess.

Watched the first segment. Laughed very hard at how tone deaf it was. Then immediately went onto WWE Network to cancel my auto-renewal for later in the week.

Now to go watch hockey instead.

Could have been much much much worse it could have been Mojo Riley and Roman Reigns

That ring announcer looks like she's ready to be fucked by the entire roster.

Doesn't the champion usually come out after the Challenger
Damn Europe it really is backward people booing Roman Reigns The Challenger getting to come out Iast.

That ring announcer looks like a hooker i've seen in Las Vegas quite a few times.

I'm not so sure i havent banged a JoJo in Las Vegas from the streets.

Roman gets booed

"This is the post boxing-day crowd, an atypical crowd"

Falcon Arrow on the apron, jesus

"TYPICAL KALAMAZOO REACTION FOR ROMAN REIGNS!"

"It's the Raw after Sunday, where the crowd boos who they normally cheer and cheer who they normally boo!"

I don't think I've hated JBL more than the moment he spewed that pack of Lies

I really wish Vince would put Seth Rollins in the spot that he insists Roman Reigns be in

Pretty good match right now

I feel like after Shawn Michaels retirement everybody scrambled to use the super kick as often as possible so that in case he comes back they will have had their fill.

This would never work.

Roman goes "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHH!"

Seth goes "Burn it down!"

Clearly can't be swapped.

That spinning fisherman's buster/suplex to counter a superplex is one of my favorite moves in the business right now 100%

What the hell was that Owens did off the top rope that was nuts

Roman Reigns vs Jinder Mahal
Nia Jax vs Ronda Rousey

pls stahp

Are we sure that Baron Corbin and no way Jose being in a match together isn't a sign of the Apocalypse

Why did Nia murder a banquet table cloth to make an atrocious suit.

Wonder who Kurt is talking to

Is that what that is

The B Team

Kurt's phone wasn't even on

He uses it as cover for his telepathy.

Professor X was based on Kurt Angle.

b team on the b show

I want to believe that despite their obvious Mook status that Curtis and Bo Dallas are having a lot of fun

I didn't know Xavier was a pill-popping wrestling machine that broke his neck got to get back in the Marvel Comics man.

How else do you think he was confined to a wheelchair?

.........oh shit....:eek:

All the WWE talk about progress in women's wrestling yet their briefcase is noticeably smaller than the men's

Missed the first hour, was the Rollins-Owens match really good?

lol ok so They're making me root for Mahal. OK I will then.

So with the team name "The B-Team" Axel and Dallas are Raw's mascots now, right?

If they had a third guy, could have had each guy wear a letter as a costume to form the RAW logo

just noticed RAW is not trending worldwide this week
combined w/ how dead this thread is (pg 2) not a good sign for raw ratings this week

I think WWE is starting to slowly lose some popularity tbh

Taped RAWs always suffer cause people read spoilers

I Wonder if they'll legit make those shirts.

Wait.

THEY COMBINED THE STAR POWER OF JINDER MAHAL AND ROMAN REIGNS. HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY FAIL.

Fandango still over in London

I do not understand why Rhino is not selling his weight loss regimen he can make a killing

:lol: at Curtis and Bo's reactions to winning a match.

when breezango loses clean to axel it's all downhill from there for them

Congratulations to the B-Team for winning with a Dudleyz transition move.

Also RIP to Curtis Axel's dope theme and welcome to Generic Jobber Theme #67

So wait, AJ Nakamura 4 is tomorrow night

....

When the world ends in a nuclear holocaust, AJ and Nakamura will still be punching each other in the balls.

When the earth fractures and spirals out into space, AJ and Nakamura will be on one of those rocks, still punching each other in the balls.

When heat death claims the universe and everything down to an atom vanishes from existence, AJ and Nakamura will still be punching each other in the dick until the last shred of existence fades.

Why does Sarah Logan have maxi pad sticking out of the thighs of her pants

And yet Styles will still stubbornly refuse to wear a cup.

I would love for them to have a Canon explanation for that but this company is stupid I'm just happy we're getting AJ and Nakamura at all

They could say something like AJ's balls are just that huge that he can't find one to accommodate them

Easiest would be that Styles already has enough kids and sees no real need to worry about his squishy pouch anymore.

Jesus is gonna protect the Jesus Zipper.

Braun + Finn vs Dolph and Drew? That's... unexpected

Finn and Braun strowman that is an interesting pair

Hands Club is for everyone

Outside of Bayley, Revival arguably had the worst fall of grace since leaving NXT. They went from being a team people legit considered as one of the best in the world and a dream feud of them vs Young Bucks to now a team of nothing on RAW.

The bad timing of injuries hurt a lot but can legit pinpoint their downfall as potential big stars to when Dawson uttered the forbidden "W" word in a promo.

All the Revival have to do to the strike Bray Wyatt is remind him that he's behind on child support payments

I think you're overemphasizing the "wrestler" promo thing. They were obviously already being positioned to eat the old guy finishers on Raw25 and hadn't done shit before then.

They came in hot and got a huge win over New Day in their debut, then got injured, and never got another shot. I don't think the main roster has enough emphasis on tag wrestling for them to really shine, either. They really need multi-segment matches for their shtick, and there's basically none of those any more.

If they'd gotten over to SD in the shake-up, there might have been a chance but not for a long while with the Bludgeon Brothers as champs.

The never-ending Bayley/Sasha non-feud

I don't know what killed Bailey as for the Revival after their bounce with DIY I was like they're going to be huge when they get to the main roster wrong wrong wrong

RAW thread cracks pg. 3 for the third hour

Actually he tried to do it at Elias's expense Bud whatever

Symmetry is the name of the game tonight

"You know, Renee, when I was in the third grade, my sisters traded me to Billy Winters for a six pound honey bake ham. I had to fight leprechauns for six weeks in a round robin tournament for my freedom. When I got home, my sisters had saved a single slice of ham for me. That's love."

I think Money In The Bank surpassed Survivor Series as the 4th biggest show of the year years ago

When I posted this part in the RAW Spoilers thread no one believed me, re: Sami/Lashley/Sisters

Crowd DGAF about this promo. Distinctly heard a "Sami Ziggler" chant.

Because it's utterly surreal.

oh god

"Renee, when I was a little girl, I wanted to be a 50s paperboy. My sisters have always told me to chase my dreams. So, they threw me into a dryer and turned it on. After they left me in there for thirty minutes, they let me out and told me we'd traveled back in time. They had me convinced until I turned 30."

"And that was fun Renee but not as much fun at the time my sisters decided if they wanted to be dentists when they grew up they pulled three of my permanent teeth while I was fully conscious with nothing to deaden the pain
I couldn't have asked for a more lovely family"

Of course but always found it funny Dawson uttered the word and then the team went back to being nothing afterwards.

WWE didn't even bother to do or build anything meaningful from the promo.

"Hey Renee I have a fun little story about the time my sister's locked me in a dark Tool Shed with a rabid Doberman you want to hear it?"

Can't wait for Sami to bring out Lashley's sisters and they're all just midgets dressed like Bobby Lashley with long hair held in place by a headband.

"And then there was the time when our parents went on a month-long vacation and would tie me to the wall and took turns kicking me in the balls...that's sisters for ya!"

Hey now this is solely for Bobby Lashley don't start giving Nakamura any ideas

This womens 3 way match is so bad, if Tits dont get shown, the crowed might leave.

Only thing i take away from this womens 3 way match is that i'll be nutting to Alexa Bliss's new fake titties.

If they can sit through something as boring as soccer they'll be fine.
