This is the biggest issue I have with how WWE handles their booking for a long while.

They have a massive roster because they've been hoarding a ton of talent over the years but instead of keeping things fresh, they just run feuds and matches into the ground that makes PPV matches feel even less special than before.

Cedric's heel turn might be the most interesting thing he's done since getting put on RAW.

Evil Cedrick, cool.

:lol: at the botched ending with the ref and sound effects.

That Street Profits vs. Garza & Andrade match was a mess.

Guess WWE finally remembered about their Brand Invitational rule since Cesaro and Nakamura just showed up.

:lol: R-Truth.

Peyton's new theme sounds terrible and also very generic. She had a much better singles theme pre-IIconics time in NXT.

Even Billie Kay's new theme sounds terrible.

PEYTON SINGLE DEBUT!

And woooow that entrance. Holy fuck.

Love Peyton n all, but dammit if her shorts get any thinner in-between, she's gonna have the next malfunction like Sasha semi did vs Charlotte at Hell in a Cell.

Nice little match there.

If WWE really does have big push plans for Peyton, that match did not really help her.

Showed her flexibility in her entrance, and her new finisher....yep. Nice "little" match.

:lol: at Shawn Michaels and Sweet Chin Music trending during RAW.

All because a player on the Toronto Raptors accidentally busted out a superkick earlier in the Celtics vs. Raptors game that's going on right now.

Who do you think had a better entrance, Peyton or Billie?

Peyton by a god damn mile.

Peyton overall but both of their entrance themes were very generic.

Show's almost half over and its been somewhat boring so far.

Mickie still looks amazing.

And Lana looks cute in pink.

I just now noticed Michael Cole is on RAW instead of Tom Phillips

Mickie and her obsession of smacking asses...

Fake crowd counting is fucking weird.

Cole mentioned earlier that Phillips took the week off for a vacation break.


Yeah. WWE's been very hit-or-miss with the timing and usage of fake crowd reactions for these ThunderDome shows.

Ok if this Cedrick flip shit is only for a night...then what a fucking waste.

Does Adam Pearce's character have an onscreen title - is he the GM of Raw?

McMahon's gopher.

Ok ok ok I'm diggin Cedrick now.

Don't think so although now that I think about it, he somehow has become the default authority guy for RAW and SD in recent weeks. He just showed up out of the blue one week and stuck around since then.

Not sure if he does the same for 205 Live since I don't watch that show but that would be part of his realm.

:lol: at another botched finish on tonight's show.

That 8-man tag match was pretty good though and best thing on the show so far.

That was quite the ref botch on a 2-count

wow, i don't remember the last time i watched raw, or the last time i saw TWO matches end with a botched pinfall/count and both times the ref was just like "fuck it, ring the bell"

WWE smartly dropped all the dumb stuff Lee wore the week before for his entrance gear.

Hopefully its nothing serious but Erik can wave goodbye to any screen time he's getting these next few weeks going by how Vince handles tag teams when one guy gets hurt.

That might have been the worst and/or most boring match Keith Lee has had since joining WWE.

:lol: at Black vs. Owens ending via no contest on RAW Underground.

Guess Shane was right about there being no rules for Underground matches since whatever they are using keeps changing almost every week.

Adam Pearce sort of resembles a bald version of HBK.

I literally quit after the Lee/Orton match.

Wait, didn't the match graphic earlier in the show mention Nia Jax and not Shayna for this handicap match?
