RAW might not get hammered for ratings this week but wouldn't be surprised if next week's show suffers badly after all the hype and promise of a great show tonight by WWE and them pulling these BS shenanigans twice with the WWE title match.
|
Don't think MVP yelling out "bullshit" is PG.
|
Over/under at Charlotte tying her father in title reigns by next year's Mania.
She needs just 4 more to do it and only 2 of her main roster reigns went beyond 3 months not counting the Divas title. Also that promo by Charlotte was garbage. Says she never wanted to go after Asuka's title reign when she came back only to mention moments later that she actually does solely because Asuka doesn't have a challenger for Mania. |
Poor Asuka going to lose to Charlotte at two different WMs
|
time to hurt another woman wrestler

As tpww's top owen account I wanted to say that I wish Roman Reigns was champion of every show.

Well that was dumb.
WWE has Nia squash Naomi earlier so she'd look good going into the Women's Tag title match on NXT this week only to not do the same for Shayna against Charlotte. They even had a built-in excuse for a Charlotte loss by doing the pre-match attack with Nia & Shayna but decided to have Charlotte overcome the odds for a Mania match almost everyone is despising at the moment. |
Guess Gran Metalik realized the cat ears on his mask looked very goofy since he ditched it in favor of going back to his old match.
For a group called Retribution, they have been lacking in getting any real revenge or retribution for how badly they've been made to look like fools as a heel group. |
what in the fuck was that shit off the top?
|
That was seriously one of the most unsafe looking moves I have ever seen.
|
:lol: at Riddle losing his first singles match as US champ. Having a belt in WWE really is a big curse since you quickly get nerfed and booked like a loser for non-title matches.
Match itself was mostly pretty good. Also yikes at that new finisher by Ali. |
Jeez the elevation on that spinebuster.
|
Holy shit no shenanigans
|
:lol: at all that BS throughout the show just to end it via a somewhat quick squash match.
Very happy for Lashley but holy hell did WWE make a big mess with his title coronation moment tonight. |
usa let them go over
|
This week's RAW might legit have been the worst one of the year so far.
Drew vs. Sheamus and Lashley winning the belt were the only good stuff to come out of this show and even then, the build up to Lashley's title win was atrocious. The sooner Bruce Prichard gets the boot, the sooner RAW can turn aound from being mostly dogshit terrible to somewhat terrible or average quality range. |

Lashley is cool... Feel like McIntyre will win to "give him his WrestleMania title win in front of fans" but wouldn't mind Lashley having a longer reign... Has a great look
|
Was a huge Bobby Lashley mark back in the day. Glad he’s finally WWE Champion. What a comeback :y:
|
Quote:
Could easily see Lashley getting the belt back by SummerSlam since I doubt Drew would get another lengthy reign. Maybe Drew vs. Sheamus as the big post-Mania feud for the title and then redo Lashley vs. Drew with Lashley getting the belt back. |
Good for Lashley. They seemed hell bent on getting him over way back when. Good for him for sticking it out and making it all the way back and getting to be a top guy.
I look forward to him getting to go into a main event mania match against McIntyre. |
Quote:
|
They should make that his official nickname "The Next Best Thing"
|
Ugh..why take the title off Miz? h8 Lashley...
|
Preview for tonight's show:
Quote:
|
If it wasn't for the airing of a taped backstage interview segment, RAW almost managed to have the rare instance of a match starting off the show ... nevermind Miz is giving a pre-match promo right now.
|
At first, I thought there was something wrong with Miz's mic, then I was like oh wait lol
S, is Morrison going to inadvertently cost Miz the match? |
:lol: at the shitty looking CGI lighting effects for Lashley's entrance.
Lashley's new "All Mighty" tron looks cool though. |
Quote:
|
On one hand, Lashley looked great destroying Miz for almost the whole match.
On the other hand, that match didn't need to go anywhere as long as it did since it was nothing more than a somewhat decent extended squash. |
:lol: at R-Truth's poem & apology to Braun
:lol: he even did the MIB mind wipe thing. |
That Strowman & Shane apology segment was very anti-climatic.
Hopefully that's the end of the storyline between the two since I still have zero interest in that being a potential Mania feud. |
Why does Sheamus look like a Gangs of New York character?
|
Of course it's going to lead to a Mania match, because Shane is a masochist
|
Quote:
|
lmfao wtf was that dumb ass stairs spot with Sheamus and Drew just now lmao holy shit.
|
:| at an amazing No DQ match between Drew & Sheamus ending via a no contest.
Its like WWE saw what AEW did last night for the Eddie Kingston & Jon Moxley show closing stuff and decided to copy that for tonight. Big difference was that Kingston & Moxley stuff was done after the explody match ended and not as the actual finish to it. |
So, setting up a Hell in the Cell I imagine?

RAW Tag titles match being booked for Fastlane's go-home show only means one of two things is going to happen:
If it was any other company, there probably would be a third or more options but those are the only two options WWE loves to do for title matches booked right before a PPV. |
WWE suddenly changing Regal's hyped up mysterious big announcement into two announcements instead pretty much confirms the rumor of NXT moving to Tuesdays is true.
That wasn't going to be the original big announcement from Regal based on PWInsider. |
Riddle vs. Slapjack was pretty good.
Retribution under Ali's leadership is still nothing more than a bunch of losers who can't get any meaningful retribution or revenge against anyone. |
:lol: at Shane accidentally breaking one of the mics with the mic check tapping.
How is Shane already wheezing when all he did was walk down to the ring. Not sure if Shane forgot his lines or someone thought all that dead air was a great idea for a promo. |
So, like I said, I've been a way for a while, so is it fair to say they're trying to make Bray Wyatt/The Fiend, Ministry Undertaker 2.0?
|
Holy hell was that promo by Shane horrendous.
Easily in the all-time worst tier in WWE history. |
MY HOLE
|
Quote:
This current version of Bray feels more like if Undertaker was a B-movie horror villain. |
:lol: at Reginald now working for Nia & Shayna.
This new relationship story between Nia & Reginald is already giving off Harvey Wippleman & Bertha Faye vibes. |
botch time let's see who screws up in this one
|
Despite what Charlotte keeps claiming in interviews, how is she at face on RAW based on how she's been acting in promos since her return?
Like Dana & Mandy didn't do anything to provoke that bitchy type response from her in their backstage interview segment. |
Holy hell, how many times can they say this is "A Wrestlemania Worthy Match" without bringing up the fact that it IS A REMATCH FROM WRESTLEMANIA???

WWE replaying Lashley's new entrance and his match against Miz was really weird considering it wasn't a top of the hour style recap moment and interrupted the entrances for the Styles vs. Orton match.
Someone messed up in production since it made no sense to air it. |
lmao oops one of the ring posts didnt go off
|
WHAAAAA!!! Why didn't that fire pyro kill Randy? Freaking immortal!
|
:lol: at the pyro not going off on one of the ring posts.
This Bliss Fiend shenanigans and Orton puking stuff is horrible. Styles vs. Orton was mostly good but this Fiend/Bliss vs. Orton stuff is downright terrible. Way too many main events ruined because of that shit. RAW itself was mostly average overall. It didn't completely suck but nor was it really worth watching if you missed. Only stuff I'd really recommend is the Drew vs. Sheamus match and R-Truth's antics with Strowman backstage. |
Only thing tripping me out is how I was talking to my roommate about a month ago WWE should bring Bray back with a Jack in the Box, but I didn't think Alexa would be the one "doing it".
I imagined it more as computer generated looking box with a horror warped version of "Pop goes the weasel"...and every week or time it appeared something would change or light up on the box to indicate a type of countdown till his return. |
Like first few times, it's just the box turning it's own handle...next time...a hand slowly comes out gripping the box, week after that, a creepy ass CGI version of Bray's mask comes slooowly peaking from behind it, then BAM! The week the box opens Loud noises and screams and the screeching non stop just mass chaos....then pure blackout of all the lights, and the first light on is at the top of the ramp, only focused on his new mask.

Apparently the really odd and terrible promo by Shane where he was wheezing a lot and looked like he completely forgot his lines was actually meant to happen that way.

I read in a recap that Sheamus said that’s he’s been living in Drew’s shadow for the past 20 years. Is that right? Because that is... not accurate.
|
You mean 4 time World Champion who won the title 11 years before Drew, won the Rumble 8 years before Drew, former King of the Ring winner, MITB winner, 5 time tag champ Sheamus? Adds up to me!
|
Preview for tonight's show:
Quote:
|
Those CGI lighting strikes at the start of Lashley's new entrance still look terrible. WWE needs to get rid of it since the rest of his new entrance routine is great.
Also WWE just abruptly announced Lashley's facing Drew at Mania without Drew having to do anything to actually earn it. |
lol @ Morrison's hair
|
you get tired of raw dark is on at the same time
|
Quote:
Rather have it be a weekly palate cleanser for my Monday wrestling like how NJPW Strong is for whenever Smackdown has a bad or off night. |
So in Sheamus mind, he doesn't care about getting a potential WWE title shot at Mania but wants to face off against Lashley just for the sake of it.
Same for him not being upset at all that Drew got handed a title match and their big match at Fastlane has no bearing on the WWE title match for Mania. |
I am baffled as to why if the plan for months has been to have a crowd at Mania they haven't put tickets on sale yet...nothing like last minute
|
Quote:
Them now wanting more fans for each night also means whatever coronavirus precautionary plans they had in place before had to be completely redone recently. WWE being shameless at wanting the largest live crowd for a pandemic era show doesn't help either since they probably could have put tickets on sale right after the NFL's Super Bowl game last month had they kept it to the same limit. |
omg Shane and Braun are awful together.
|
OMG this Shane & Braun promo somehow is way worse than the very strange one they had last week.
|
:lol: R-Truth.
He's been one of the very few bright spots on RAW this past year or so. |
:lol: at Asuka randomly interrupting a women's tag match and starting a fight with Shayna at ringside.
Way to make the tag match completely meaningless and uninteresting to watch dumbass RAW creative. This first hour has been a mess so far. |
Why not do AJ vs Braun w/ Omos at ringside....why is Braun/Shane a thing...I can't think of a less appealing WM feud.
|
Even though New Day's gear is supposed to resemble Sub Zero and Scorpion's colors from Mortal Kombat, Kofi looks more like he's a member of the Hurt Business instead since they use very similar colors.
|
:lol: at WWE really doing a title change right before a PPV show.
The amount of times they've done that just to lazily setup a rematch at the PPV a few days later is baffling. Tag match itself was pretty good though. |
AJ & Omos vs. New Day at WrestleMania for the RAW Tag belts sounds a bit interesting but mainly because of that being Omos first match on the main roster.
:lol: at Kofi bringing up the point that Styles & Omos are not an actual tag team but still accepted their challenge. :lol: at R-Truth trying to sneak attack Bad Bunny to get his 24/7 title back. |
:lol: at Bad Bunny just giving back the 24/7 title to Truth.
Lame way to get around the problem of Bunny holding the belt and WWE not wanting him to suffer any sort of loss before Mania. |
Quote:
|
That's a good first match for Omos for real. Those 3 can easily carry him and he can learn a whole lot just from watching them work. I like the idea. He's obviously still super green but given his look and the role he's played so far he needs to be protected from looking too bad and this is the best way to do it honestly.
|
So far Damian Priests call up has been the best handled in a while. He's getting all kinds of screen time and even though he's with Bad Bunny they aren't being booked as a pure joke act.
|
Whelp there was the actual setup for Miz & Morrison vs. Priest & Bad Bunny at Mania.
Miz went from mostly jobbing and looking like a big goof these past 2 weeks to now being in a high profile match at Mania on the flip of a switch. |
Quote:
WWE's done this type of routine way too much in the past with anointing their next big star for the latino market only to pull the rug out from under them once Vince and/or Creative gets bored. Do agree that his call-up has been handled the best in recent times even if most of the stuff he's been doing hasn't really been that interesting. |
:lol: at Shane managing to beat up Braun and giving him the green slime treatment.
How is any of this shit helping Braun at all? |
that will be fun to clean up
|
I think Damian has an honest chance at having McMahon actually invest in him as the next big latino star. He has that size and look that Vince likes. The last few guys before him that had a chance at the spot have been smaller and more agile and Vince almost always shies away from guys like that at some point. You know he loves big, tall, sweaty ripped dudes.
|
This Shane/Braun shit is incredibly stupid
|
lol wtf was that. Ridiculous.

I've been a fairly consistent Braun mark for awhile now. When he was built as a monster I was into it hard. He always just came across as legit threatening to me. When he isn't being pushed I never get it. Even if you don't put the title on him he should always be a top level threat just because of his persona and the fact that he is a genetic freak.
This garbage with Shane is making me lose all of my love for Braun. This is sad. It's making him look terrible and ruining any credibility he had. It's boring too because these promos are dog shite so far. Some of the worst in recent memory. Shane has never been this bad at promoing and Braun is better off when he doesn't talk much and just yells and makes threats. I have no idea why they are doing this and whoever is responsible should be sent to the end of the unemployment line. |
