News about RAW tonight from Meltzer

Quote:


A major angle is expected to be shot tonight that will change one of the main events at the Royal Rumble show. We'll talk about it after the show depending on how it goes down or if it goes down. It will be reported that it is due to an injury by others. It is not. It was always the plan and we'll explain that on tonight's show if it happens based on how it is explained.

Tonight is also the "bounce back" Raw where we get an indication where ratings are after no more football competition or holidays. The past two years the "bounce back" increase has been 12.5 percent in 2017 and 17.2 percent in 2018. Based on those figures we should have an average audience of 2.61 million to 2.72 million. I expect closer to 2.56 million but anything under that would be a disappointment. Smackdown last year did not go up since it doesn't have football competition. To show how far things have fallen for a direct comparison, for this same week last year Raw did 3.22 million viewer and Smackdown did 2.60 million.

Bonnie Hammer, who was the key person involved in making the call to bring WWE back from Spike to USA at the end of 2005, is no longer in charge of NBC Universal and will now be in charge of the company's new streaming service in her new role of Chairman of Direct-to-Consumer and Digital Entertainment at NBCU.

They need to have at least one of those NXT guys appear today

ClockShot 01-14-2019 09:02 PM

The Boss is in the building.

Probably pissed he couldn't kill off AEW.

Dark One 01-14-2019 09:02 PM

I'm here until I decide the show is intolerable and go play Yakuza 3.

Which I suspect will be whenever the Nia and Tamina tag match is, jesus christ

Calm yo tits down. It hasn't even started it and it could end before it even starts because Football team of Shad is getting relegated this season which means they will endure losses.

ClockShot 01-14-2019 09:04 PM

Awww. Just cut your losses now and go play Yakuza 3. Good stuff.

I've got plenty of time for Yakuza and three more Yakuzas after it. I mean, this show is probably going to bore me to death real quick, but figured it was worth a shot.

ClockShot 01-14-2019 09:07 PM

That is a packed backstage.

Dark One 01-14-2019 09:09 PM

I feel like Rikishi is about to hit Braun with a car.

ClockShot 01-14-2019 09:09 PM

Elias with a musical clue.

Franco Vazquez 01-14-2019 09:09 PM

Elias should have been at least IC champion by now.

Dark One 01-14-2019 09:09 PM

Braun about to get fired for fucking up Vince's Limo

ClockShot 01-14-2019 09:09 PM

Ruh-roh.

Dark One 01-14-2019 09:10 PM

I'll give them credit, solid foreshadowing by having Vince make the drive buff out a mark twice.

Braun: "Vince. I can totally fix this!"

ClockShot 01-14-2019 09:15 PM

Well, Royal Rumble just got a little less interesting.

Emperor Smeat 01-14-2019 09:16 PM

Someone needs to contact Dr Shelby for Braun since he has some serious anger issues.

xrodmuc316 01-14-2019 09:16 PM

NEW ERA!!! Vince overreacting and punishing wrestlers lol

KIRA 01-14-2019 09:16 PM

Hold on I get not being able to legit tip an ambulance over at those things are really heavy but Bruan can't even tip over a limo without help

I get WWE being cool with Mauro, and even spinning it as they tend to do to make themselves look progressive.

That being said, how can they trust Lars in any kind of real push knowing he might bail on them at any moment.

Heavy machinery vs Nia Jax and Tamina make it happen

Emperor Smeat 01-14-2019 09:27 PM

Wonder if Bayley is fuming backstage at Sasha suddenly ditching her for Ronda as her new best pal. Just one step closer to the revival of SwitchBayley.

On the topic of call-ups, where does everyone think each one should go.

Lacey Evans - Raw
EC3 - Smackdown
Heavy Machinery - Smackdown
Lars - not sure
Nikki Cross - Raw

is what i'd like to see happen.

I am expecting Bayley to cost Sasha Banks her title opportunity at the Rumble, leading to a singles match at Mania.

RP 01-14-2019 09:30 PM

I'd clean Nia's unwiped ass with my tongue just to get a taste of Alexa Bliss.

Mr. Nerfect 01-14-2019 09:31 PM

Between flubbing his lines last week and not making it back in time for the Rumble, I do wonder what this does to Braun's standing in the company? Obviously he can't help being hurt, but he was expected back for TLC, then it was Rumble, now he is missing that.

slik 01-14-2019 09:32 PM

Are...they...showing a movie preview...in the middle of a fucking match

Emperor Smeat 01-14-2019 09:32 PM

You know what would be a great storyline Bailey getting jealous for Ronda Rousey stealing her woman

ClockShot 01-14-2019 09:35 PM

Charly get out of the combat zone!

This is a pretty damn good back and forth between Sasha and Ronda. I'm hyped for this.

xrodmuc316 01-14-2019 09:39 PM

That is the most NXT Sasha that she has been on the main roster and I love it.

I hope they let her be this version going forward.

LOL are they shitting us?

This is the same match that we saw 3 weeks in a row that was partially responsible for the fan backlash and led to the "New Era" angle.

Not even a month later and they are BACK to this match again?

erickman 01-14-2019 09:46 PM

Emperor Smeat 01-14-2019 09:47 PM

Wonder how long till WWE realizes what the "F" means on the Revival's "#FTR" gear.

Wow,

THey think so little of the Revival they're interrupting the match FOR CURT HAWKIN AND APOLLO CREWS PROMOS

xrodmuc316 01-14-2019 09:48 PM

WOW that is worse than debuting EC3 on Main Event.

Him just standing there smiling, not saying anything lol.

WWE needs to fire the entire writing staff and start over.

KIRA 01-14-2019 09:49 PM

Apollo Crews vs Brock Lesnar might actually be a good match......lmao he thinks he has a chance that's cute

GD 01-14-2019 09:49 PM

EC3 :rofl:

Emperor Smeat 01-14-2019 09:49 PM

Both tag matches so far got the split screen treatment which just shows how much Vince still hates tag wrestling. Even Ronda who is their biggest mainstream star got that treatment for her tag match.

:lol: at the random EC3 backstage shot as his RAW debut.

xrodmuc316 01-14-2019 09:50 PM

I want Jack Swagger and JBL back as a tag team just beating up luchas.

RP 01-14-2019 09:51 PM

I'm hoping something shocking happens like Roman Reigns is ready to come back or something and he faces Brock at RR

KIRA 01-14-2019 09:51 PM

Wait a minute that's how they're going to debut EC3?
Also good job beating the White Ranger Revival

GD 01-14-2019 09:52 PM

I want Kalisto and Rey Mysterio to have some interaction during the Rumble match.

John Cena has a small role in Glass. He's a super hero. His power is that they cant see him.

Ummm doesn't Orton also have some Ruthless Aggression lying around considering he's from that era as well.
