Nakamura vs Rollins would be fantastic. But I'm sure it wont happen.

It happened last year at Survivor Series and it was a bit underwhelming.

What is the best site to stream with? Going to try to get back into Raw but dont have USA atm.

This is also the end of an era

The final week RAW will be the A show of WWE after 25+ years

is the football game(s) big tonight

creepy intro

Rollins promo = channel change 3 minutes into the show

Announcers no selling Bray taking over the credits so far

Fiend messing around with WWE's intro bumper was pretty cool. Probably give it a few more weeks before WWE drives Fiend's shenanigans into the ground.


Bears vs. Redskins doesn't seem that interesting but doubt its going to generate into a nice bump for RAW.

Seth promo boring af....

Unless WWE has something big planned for the build, Fiend-Rollins is going to be a waste of a Cell match since nothing about it feels blood feud worthy.

how many people is seth feuding with...

Lol if they manage to Fumble the ball on the seen this company is well and truly lost because that gimmick is perfect

For all the hype about next week's season premiere, WWE kind of forgot to also hype up tonight as the season finale for RAW.

Am I imagining that Rollins/Fiend isn't for the title?

Oooh new music

Even though I liked omen in the sky

OC's new theme is pretty decent.

The O.C. have new music. Pretty neat.

They're definitely competing for the Universal title.

"Monster of a man" Luke Gallows.

What if Rollins loses next week

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the commentary duo of Michael Cole and Tazz were while watching No Way Out 2004 on the Network.

Fair enough. Feel like none of the competitors are strong enough to "slay" the architect.

Rollins and Kofi losing belts would be a good way to perk up ratings for Raw and SD and also protecting the Fiend from eating a loss at HIAC

Can't wait for Lacey Evans to grace us with her presence.

AJ Styles isn't? Lol

I am expecting the HIAC match to be a no contest with either the Undertaker or Demon Balor interrupting.

She's probably off tv for a while

But HIAC is no dq

He already had his chance. Besides, he's doing fine with the United States strap.

a lot of people tweeting about AEW commercial during RAW

Viking Raiders vs. OC was pretty good overall.

1. Undertaker and Austin vs Mankind and Kane was a no contest.

2. Mankind vs Kane was a no contest.

3. Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman from last year was a no contest :-\

feel like Afif would be stressed out watching if he were still with us, god rest his soul

I was genuinely surprised by how much offense The OC got in the match.

They must not have paid directv to air it

#RIP Dibs on Lacey Evans

Lol crank yankers is back

The audio in this Michael Cole interview sounds like its being recorded from the audience because of the echo.

Rusev vs ec3 lol

:eek: EC3 getting a singles match on RAW.

Sure he's going to get destroyed in probably a minute or two tops but better than just being stuck in catering or randomly chasing after whoever is the 24/7 champ.

Rusev squashes EC3 in like two minutes

Nacho Libre cutting a promo backstage

EC3 probably came to RAW thinking hed be at least its 2nd biggest heel.

Lol they ran an AEW ad but it said it was on channel 138 which isn't TNT on directv

I was going to say it's odd Bayley isn't wrestling near her hometown but A they probably don't want her to get face pops too much and B they're still in SF tommorow

looks really tarped off

I miss Nia Jax

bored

I just realized that if they go back to strict brand split I wonder what they do with the women's tag belts

most of SD tomorrow has tickets open and is tarped off:

Nikki vs Sasha was pretty great overall.


Probably is since that's been the case for RAW and Smackdown for a long time. Even next week's "season premiere" show wasn't selling that well based on recent reports.

New logo for raw next week

They both sound like Big E

Whenever WWE boasts about having a ton of social media followers and presence, it just underscores how meaningless it is since none of that has translated into new viewers.

Plus they pretty much manipulate the numbers and stats to make it seem like they are way more popular on social media than in reality.

:lol: at the Hogan announcement getting booed.

God please don't let her be fighting Nattie again

lol

Lacey is a walking GLOW gimmick

Gotta walk before you run guys

They want the second one so they will still have a show after the first one gets cancelled :rofl:

Lacey is really bad at the sharpshooter

Feel like with these huge TV deals they have now that they could maybe afford to cut ticket prices a little bit. It's not cheap to go to a WWE event, especially if you take the family. I went to a house show here a couple years ago and we had seats maybe 2/3 the way up the stadium seating. Not awful seats, but we weren't close. Cost $63 dollars a person. For a SD house show and not good seats. Some of the close seats were several hundred dollars. For a house show. That's ridiculous to me. They are pricing themselves out of a much bigger audience.

That might have been the worst ever Sharpshooter which is pretty amazing considering how bad Rock's version used to be.

I didn't think I'd ever see a sharpshooter that was shittier than the rocks

Someone in production messed up big time tonight with the audio from these taped segments.

It's sad to think that I've seen children perform that move better

Renee plugging NXT with a smirk on her face.

That stare Bray does is really creepy

That was both stupid and great at the same time.

24/7 is apparently a woman's belt now for a while

100% this, but that's not Vince.

Vince would rather sell 5000 tickets at $50 for $250,000 then sell 20,000 tickets at $10 for $200,000.

I get it, but at the same time if 15,000 more people show up, you can make more on merch, plus it makes your product stronger.

LMAO what did they do to Corbins theme

I like how he's not even wearing the photoshopped crown they took the time to photoshop on his head

Pretty good looking crown for a scrub

Yeah it's really strange. I'd be doing whatever it took to put asses in seats and push that merch on them too but it is what is.

:eek: WWE managed to create a mash-up theme that wasn't completely terrible.

Tyrion Lannister :nono:

Fuck off Graves!

Rest hold Corbin is back!

If Gable beats Corbin, does that mean he becomes a kingslayer?

Wonder if Rollins would be happy with no longer being the only slayer in WWE.

Stunt security

I bet Corbin is one of the top 10 pussy getters in the WWE.

More rest holds!

Gable chants filling up this capacity crowd, Maggle!

That was really close. Wow!

crowd awake for Gable!

If a lot of the big names go to Smackdown in the draft I'd like to see Gable end up on RAW and keep getting a push

Gable vs Corbin was very good overall.

Also quickly becoming Corbin's best feud since his call-up.

AOP don't like #SAWFT guys.

Styles and Ricochet last 2

Nacho Libre things

Corb probably gonna challenge that cancer beating kid

Ricochet and Ali basically with the same gimmick

Omg so ricochet is a super hero? FFS Vince

For as great as Ricochet is in the ring, he's pretty bad when it comes to giving WWE style promos.

I miss Titantron videos

really orange Bobby Roode
