This is like the 3rd or 4th time WWE ran the same exact commercial for NXT that wasn't the generic "We Are Awesome" or "We Are NXT" ones.

Them over-hyping the Lee vs. Priest and Yim vs. Charlotte matches probably not going to get them the big ratings win they are expecting. Neither is really that appealing compared to other big hyped up NXT matches in recent times.

Guess Lawler didn't get canned from RAW since he's the host of this contract signing segment.

Nice of Murphy to save his best pal ... nevermind he got destroyed.

Contract signing was decent but RAW itself was one of the most throw-away shows in a while and even more so than the empty arena Road to Mania shows.

I’m assuming there’s a big chunk of workers that are opting not to work, or have been asked not to, or are not able to travel down to Florida, just by how much Vega’s guys are being used every week, appearing in multiple matches/segments every week, and the amount of NXT talents being cycled in.

I really liked that Team Vega wore matching colours this week - even if Garza wore green pants for most of the match. On the subject of this team, they need a name. Suggestions? I’ve always liked The Vanguard as a stable name, not sure it fits these guys but there’s an alliteration with Vega there.

6 man was an adequate time filler.

Seeing Nia Jax with a ladder in her hands ready to strike must have put the fear of god in everyone.

Bobby Lashley still looks weird in long tights.

Wonder what’s next for Liv Morgan?

These were my thoughts too. Given how many jobber matches they’ve had over the last few weeks why would you chose to squash someone who’s in the middle of a tournament to crown a new champion?

This Garza/Curaso thing is interesting.

The US Title match was a weird one; I was fearful that they were going to put the belt on Crews and give him “too much, too soon” before he’d built some sort of connection with the audience. The knee injury is interesting; does this take him out of MITB, or does it affect his performance in the match?

Despite not being “onboard” with the Ricochet & Alexander pairing I like that they’re wearing matching gear and mixing in some double team moves. Ever-Rise are a strange one; they look like a team but there’s something missing.

Last week I mentioned how I’d like to see MVP in a manager role, I wasn’t expecting it to be for Thorne & Vink. Let’s see how this goes. Seems like WWE is putting additional effort into the tag division given they should be trying to limit how many people are in the ring at any given time.

I actually liked the contract signing. Seth looked very much the douche in his suit with the glove and top knot. That last spot with Murphy taking the Claymore was great. I’m looking forward to Drew v. Seth.

They couldn’t have six people in the Mania Ladder Match because one of them was The Miz who turned up to a taping ill/with symptoms.

Apollo is out of the MITB match according to an announcement on wwe.com.

This is an odd situation though....from my understanding, the MITB has already been taped. So do they retape the whole match? I dunno, seems off. Leaning towards this one being a work.

It's possible they didn't have Apollo in the original match they filmed and they still wanted to give him the "rub" of earning his way in and being screwed out of the spot.

Honestly, I think they could do worse than a Jinder Mahal/Drew McIntyre feud at this point. Throw Jinder straight into the main event mix, play off their shared past and similar stories of being cast aside and then returning to greatness. It's a story that makes sense, gives Drew a heel he can comfortably beat and look dominant doing so - whereas Rollins will likely involve some screwy non-finishes to protect him, and hurt McIntyre early in his reign as a consequence - and frankly nothing happening at the moment matters, so get it out of the way now when audiences don't have to sit through it.

Actually Drew vs Mahal could have been a decent match for MITB as the MITB Match itself will be the main event/focus, and Drew vs Seth could have headlined elsewhere. For me, I’d need a strong undercard to get excited about if Drew/Mahal is your title picture, or the Universal Championship Match has to be solid - and with Braun as champ I can’t think of many/any matches that get me excited.

Seth did mention a “Big Picture” so that could carry through to the next PPV or 2.

Oh, I assumed it was a worked injury angle. Really interesting that they’ve already filmed the match. Does he get replaced by Andrade, and they can resume a feud when Crews returns? Maybe Andrade wins the briefcase and Crews thwarts his attempts to cash in?

Im not as cool with a potential Jinder/Drew feud as I was when Slater was still employed. Him playing the comedy role of trying to get 2 of his friends to stop fighting each other would have made it more palatable to me.

I'm wondering if they've filmed multiple endings to the match, and maybe they don't even know which one will air yet.
