Bit of a odd choice for RAW's new show music
WWE's been very hit-or-miss when it comes to new music for their shows in recent years. |

On one hand, that opening segment with Fiend, Retribution, and Hurt Business was pretty short by RAW standards and a rare time RAW doesn't open with a talkie.
On the other hand, barely anything actually happened. |

at Retribution losing their first match clean under Ali's leadership.
Also at Fiend destroying Retribution afterwards. |

Guess Shane lent Styles his RAW Underground bouncer since its not like he's going to be running Underground again anytime soon.

Wonder if Vince issued a new edict for commercials since the ones so far tonight have been very random and/or abrupt.

#1 trend in the United States already!!!
Or is that only important and cool to point out when it's the other company? |

at Riddle being scared of getting punched by Styles' new bodyguard. All the big guy had to do was make a fist and Riddle quickly cowered away in fear.
Between him losing a feud to Corbin and now getting punked by Styles bodyguard, Riddle's star stock has declined in recent weeks. |

at Lana getting put through a table again.
Guess Vince still is very petty over Rusev leaving for AEW and badmouthing him over Rusev Day. |

So much for the rumors of her singles run being meant to be the start of a big push for her. |

On one hand, Tag champs not losing a non-title match to lazily set up a title match was refreshing but on the other hand that women's 4-way tag match was not that good.
Also Jax and Baszler now have no real challengers since they just beat all the teams that wanted to go after their belts. WWE should just get rid of the women's tag titles since outside of some moments with Sasha & Bayley, its been booked and handled the worst out of all the belts on the main roster. |

Elias bringing back his musical concerts for the unwashed masses of the WWE Universe.
Even got to finish his song. WWE turning the fake crowd audio nob too dam high sort of drowned out most of Elias' masterpiece though. Just hate how they go overboard with the fake crowd audio ever since they started messing with it with the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" |

Kingston vs. Sheamus was pretty good.
Ali admitting he was the mysterious hacker finally brought closure to that storyline WWE forgot about months ago. at him trying to give a meaning promo after Retribution got treated as just a big joke earlier in the show. |

Poor Titus, got his application for the Hurt Business quickly rejected.
This El Grand Gordo looks very familiar. Wonder if he's related to Otis since he has a similar big belly and accent. Even owns a similar looking MitB lunchbox. |

Match was whatever but this El Grando Gordo guy has a bright future in WWE if he sticks around.
Maybe a bit too large for the 205 Live and Cruiser division but an exception can easily be made after that fine display of lucha wrestling he showed off tonight. RAW could always benefit with another quality lucha wrestler in its ranks. |

Wonder what shenanigans WWE has planned for the ending of this Keith Lee vs. Strowman match considering 4 out of the last 5 matches for Lee either ended via a DQ or no contest of sorts.

Orton's promo was decent.
RAW itself was mostly average. It wasn't that bad in terms of quality but wasn't really that interesting either. For a go-home show it was somewhat horrible though considering it didn't really build anything for the PPV outside of the WWE title match which is the only RAW match on the card so far. |

Besides everyone. It is a WWE trend. They were petty towards AJ Lee after CM Punk left, pretty much scrubbing her championship run from history and having her lose it to the "Hall of Famer" Nikki Bella AND having Steph co-opt her "give Divas a chance" and "women's revolution" for herself. They were petty towards Renee when Ambrose left, and the getting mad about her letting folks know she had Covid-19 seemed like a lame excuse they were reaching for to boot her out the door. They were mad that they finally got their long re-sought after prize in Maria Kanellis, and treated Mike Bennett like shit after he had THE NERVE to get his own wife pregnant and deny the audience her in booty shorts. They probably would have treated Brandi like shit had she stayed around long term after Cody's departure, but they never got the chance since she walked. Hell, they are petty towards people who are together within the company. They are dead set on arbitrarily splitting up couples on separate brands for no reason, since it rarely if ever leads to some kind of push for one or both parties. Remember back when Lana and Rusev had heat for :gasp: getting engaged?! Because them being in love and wanting to get married fucked up WWE's shitty plan for that "all american girl" gimmick and paring her with Ziggler or somesuch; also gave the company an excuse to be mad at them instead of just forgetting they were on the card in typical "Vince is bored with this" fashion. What would really be shocking is if they didn't do such things. If, for sake of example, either Killer Kross or Scarlett left in a huge tizzy, but the other one stayed and had a whole sustained long-term push and plan built around them. That would be a surprise. But the reality is when one is gone, the other will be counting lights for everyone until either their contract expires or they end up on the post-'Mania chopping block. |

First, back when Sasha wanted to leave and Bayley was tetering on that fence, they made up an excuse to keep them around. Second, the only women's team the company seemed dead set on making champs and pushing to the moon were the collective breats of The IIconics. The second reason was the whole plan, but hastily slapped together that tourney to stop talented names from going elsewhere. They already don't treat tag teams like anything at all except excuses to throw together random singles guys in odd couple angles. When they actually HAVE teams, they are treated like garbage and often split up for no reason. Because of that, I don't understand why there are even RAW and Smackdown tag titles, since there are barely enough functioning teams to make that viable or exciting even without Vinces's distaste for tag team wrestling. To have a women's division set is just frivolity. |

Remember how Andrade got drafted to Raw, so Zelina went to Raw, but then Charlotte got drafted to Smackdown, so WWE just reversed/ignored that Andrade and Vega got drafted, and put them right back on Smackdown? Then they split up Ricochet and Aleister Black so he could go with Zelina to SD? Then remember the next year when even though SD on Fox heavily promoted Charlotte, she got drafted back to Raw, so Andrade got to go back to Raw, thus Vega got drafted to back to Raw, which then meant Aleister Black had to get drafted to Raw, even though they broke up his tag team and assigned him to Smackdown to begin with! Shit is hard to keep track of lol |

Haven't watched in a long time, but been reading the results most weeks....
"lol" at RETRIBUTION getting beat down already Is The Hurt Business face now after all those months of repetitive matches? Also, Elias is a heel again? Was he not a face before he got injured? He seems to be going for The Big Show record maybe..... |

Yeah Elias is a heel again but the way it happened was one of the dumbest ways possible. Elias beat up Hardy the week before but claims it was a red hair guy who caused his car accident. Instead of realizing Hardy doesn't have red hair, he still thinks it was Hardy who attacked him and instead of Hardy telling him this fact, Hardy decided to just sneak attack hm during the concert as revenge. |

I think the thing is that the remaining party gets "snowed" on the idea that they're their own person with their own career, which SHOULD be true. There shouldn't be any problem whatsoever if Lana likes where she is and Rusev doesn't. But, again, it is almost as if those in authority just can't help themselves on being petty. Even if they aren't intentionally, it sure looks the part.
