Miz v Roman isn't a rematch for the title is it?

Yes.

Starting to notice a worrying trend with Strowman where a lot of his non-squash matches need to have a gimmick attached or shenanigans happen. Like WWE can't book him as a monster unless it also involves him creating absolute carnage on the outside or with big spots.

Can someone help me out with a stream? I'm not having any luck finding one.

I hope this Raw is like Rawaftermania lite tonight.

They gotta make up for last week's nightmare.

I bet Roman will be headed to ME of WrestleMania. Probably just me though.

Oh dear, and we open up with Stephanie.

yeah, well..hold their beer because here comes a half hour stephanie start to the show

although Coach back is a plus.

Awesome, the trail blazer steph McMahon to start the show

new thing in the upper left corner that said they were in philly

I'm too lazy to track down information right now. But, why's Coach back in WWE? ESPN not paying him enough, didn't renew his deal, up and left?

Vince in his office masturbating to every press release

Meanwhile ASUKA GETS A PASSING MENTION

Seeing the Ronda recap video really does highlight how terrible Cole is when it comes to projecting emotion for big moments unlike JR who was legendary at doing it.

Otunga replaced Byron
Booker replaced Otunga
Coach replaced Booker

.....hmmmm

I was Live Morganfied tbh

Looks like a graphics / color scheme / layout change, since the Miz/Roman graphic was the same kind of theme.

Kind of surprised, since it's only been a couple of years since the brand split, and usually they wait like 17 years to adjust things.

Should I turn on subtitles for this?

and its all thanks to me Stephine Mcmahon

I like me.

Got released months ago but wasn't made public when ESPN had the first huge wave of layoffs last year.

Asuka is here

Watch out

Fucking finally

When does Liv Morgan come out?

AND a women's Elimination Chamber?

That sounds dangerous.

Now Asuka will know English

:eek: Asuka speaks English again

Welp.. looks like they buried Asuka fast.

Only until Nia shows up.

Not the Raw Women's champion, not the Smackdown Women's champion, THE CHAMPION!

Whoever holds that title right now.

Why have her come out and speak non english unless you're making a fool of her or you're an idiot?

wtf. go away sasha

Coach's voice too high compared to the others..... doesn't mesh well.

WWE has every bit the idea how to deal with talent as TNA has, accept WWE is way more popular. THATS A FACT.

RIP Sasha Banks

BURY SASHA

Sasha no you aren't, don't kid yourself.

R.I.P sasha

Sasha gonna get folded up and stuffed in a carryon bag tonight.

It's padded now.
