I have a weird feeling that Riott will get the duke tonight. Not sure why. Maybe because it's a non-title match. Owens and Lashley has potential to be good. Michaels is always a good promo. I'll at least be tuning in for the Liv Morgan ten bell salute.

Who's riding the wave tonight?

I don't want to jinx it, but I feel like Raw has been on a bit of an upswing over the past couple weeks. Hopefully the trend continues tonight.

I'll watch this fucking show all by myself if I have to, I swear I will.

I guess I'll put it on, but I really can't bring myself to care about RAW right now....

I'll do all of the caring for you, brother. I'll let you know when to cheer and everything.

Ok. Let me know.

I 100% expect this to be an absolutely half-assed Raw that's mailed in. Betcha everyone non-essential is not even in the building and are in Australia or in the process of getting there.

Can see Ruby vs Ronda being surprisingly good depending if they give it a decent amount of time and cut back on the Bellas/Riott Squad shenanigans.

Ruby meshes well with almost anyone and has quietly been one of WWE's better women wrestlers since her call up.

Whoa, a new intro thing

Was feeling dread that THE BIG DOG Roman Reign's music was gonna come on.... but Ambrose instead.... I am ok with this

They don't have to be there until Saturday.

:eek: RAW starting off with a match instead of a talkie segment.

Nevermind, RAW's streak of not starting off with a match is intact.

THE BIG DOG DEAN AMBROSE

I'm glad there getting right into it tonight.

Renee's probably grinding her teeth right now saying "That should be me in that ring".

Started last week.

THE BIG DEAN

Hella echo on that mic tonight.

So Dean is clearly not turning.

Sup dawg

Good Dean promo

I'd personally want to see Dean restart his feud with Samoa Joe.

Did Dean recently dye his beard or something?

Never remembered it looking that orange or reddish before.

Wait a minute this is the first I've seen of those dog tags what does it mean he doesn't need them anymore

Yo, yo, yo, YO, everybody! It's Cryme Tyme!

:shifty:

ABT how should my reaction be

BROOKLYN, BROOKLYN!

world's largest substitute teacher lol

Dean at least SORTA talks like a real person almost.

Not quite the edge of your seat, but further up than the middle of it.

whoa. i'm intrigued, sub man

Nice move from Corbin there.

I mean......not taking the Universal title match is stupid

Fuck, I forgot how good Dean is.

He should have just said "Roman" right away

BRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

Always felt like the Shield should be best buds but still compete against each other when the situation called for it.

Stupid move, but obvious.

OK, that didn't take long. And Corbin isn't in the opening match. Good start.
