Official Raw thread

[ManuForever]

looks like the first official match at TLC will be balor wyatt, or demon crossdresser.

There are also rumors that Bray and Bo are trying to leave, with Neville and Nia Jax.

You build up this sister abagail match and use it as the crowd is getting settled?

There was no real "good" way to build this match up, cause it really is just nine kinds of awful all around. Bray has been in the business for so long and hasn't gotten any type of respect besides one title run. Balor has paid his dues around the world for over a decade and he's put into this shit.

It's just an awful situation. I don't know what they're thinking.

It worked out for wrestlemania 10? (I'm reaching here, just saying it was a pretty good match to start off the night).

I dont really know. I think both of them get their fair share. They both have the longest entrances, getting the most tv time. I mean Xavier woods can be in a **** with Paige and still gets pushed, while Bray bangs Jo Jo and gets buried?

According to PWInsider, Bo has some kind of illness that required him to stay him and Bray and Bray's girlfriend ring announcer JoJo were kept home too as a precaution. They also shot down rumors that Nia walked out on Raw as she was never there in the first place. However, they haven't gotten any word on why Nia wasn't there Monday or at house shows over the weekend. And, nothing new on Neville. No one at WWE is saying anything about that situation which IMO usually means something is going on behind the scenes that only the top brass knows about.

I think someone stumbled across the old WCW Scorpion voicebox in the warehouse and Vince thought it would be cool for Bray to use it. I expect WWE to be hit with a cease and desist order from Ole Anderson anytime now. Unless Arn or Ric Flair found it in the warehouse which of course gives Ole no case.

I wonder how many of you even know what in the blue hell I'm talking about???????

The cease and desist order will be coming from Al Perez, not Ole Anderson.

There were many, many wrestlers that were under the Scorpion mask during that angle but the voice was done by Ole using a voice box. However, Al, Ole and anyone who wrestled under the mask as the Scorpion can join in a class action law suit against WWE.

BTW: This is all OBE with Bray being pulled from the PPV for medical reasons (virus infection).

The Reason For Nia Jax's WWE Leave Of Absence Revealed

The reason behind Nia Jax’s much-discussed “leave of absence” has been uncovered, as Sports Illustrated learned that Jax balked at the idea of losing clean to Sasha Banks at TLC. She called her cousin, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, to ask for his advice, and Johnson encouraged her to walk away if she was unhappy.

Does she really think she is on Sasha's level? That's cute.

But isn't that like asking Stroman to lose to Valor clean?

I don't think so. Balor was an established wrestler before coming to WWE and has been a WWE champ. Stroman is still relatively new to the wrestling world and has never held a title.

Ya, but Strowman could/should never lose clean to dude 1/4 his size just like Jax shouldn't lose clean to Sasha. Doesn't mean Jax needs to win but there could've been something creative like Bayley interfering or something. If Nia isn't the Strowman of the chicks division then she has no role.

Nothing about Nia just seems intimidating. Her music is a girly song, and while she is heavier than the rest, she is average height. Now, if she was the size of Awesome Kong/Karma, then I could see her deserving to not lose to the smaller girls.

I completely agree except I think Nia deserves to be treated like the aforementioned ladies. Otherwise why is she even on the roster. She's not in the league of Sasha in terms of in ring ability but if they won't use her in the only way that she can then she is useless. I can't blame her if she refuses to kill any credibility she could ever have as a character.

I believe they could've kept the Bayley-Sasha storyline going without Nia losing clean. But just one man's opinion.

Emma Has Been Released By WWE

This is some bullshit.

They couldn't release Dana Brooke or some other woman? Hell, Nia Jax almost killed Charlotte like 6 months ago. Emma can actually wrestle. Again, this is bullshit

Plus, she's a surface of the sun hottie. Sweet Jesus, DAT ASS

Who cares about SM? Especially when you look like that. lol

 

[jeffro151]

Lol @ how far Anderson and Gallows have fallen.

 

[jeffro151]

Stroman needs a better finisher besides a running powerslam.
