Official Raw thread

So you don’t want to see Seth get his rematch against Brock?

No...

The build up has been done before.

Same buildup as Mania.

Honestly. I would have preferred Randy, Bobby or Braun to win.

 

[The Q]

I’m looking at this as a natural delay before we get our proper rematch of styles Rollins.

Maybe at WM or RR.

Although I’d prefer SS since when does the title change hands at the rumble?

If they have to make Brock an absentee Universal champion I'm glad AJ won the US belt. You can have that as the main championship on Raw with the club in the big angles on the show and it feels legit. You can even have AJ headline a PPV if the opponent is right.


I assumed Brock was cashing in on Kofi so he can be in the title picture on SD when it airs on Fox but with the wild card rules that doesn't matter anymore.

What 'wild card' rules? - signed the WWE

The wild card rules that don't make sense to anyone but the WWE. I usually am a supporter of the WWE but those wild card rules leave me scratching my head.

This has a lame show.

Great Nostalgia acts but it is building nothing yet......

It was everything wrong with WWE and why they are in the spot they are in. All cheap pops with nothing to keep you invested and coming back week to week. Tonight would have been the perfect opportunity to launch an angle or use some legends to put some people over or literally anything to use as a hook. Instead they did basically nothing

Dirtsheets are reporting that the Seth Rollins/DX/nwo angle was supposed to be Ricochet, but he couldn't compete due to an elbow infection.

It was nice to see Lilian Garcia. I caught that during a check in. Was not enough to make me watch them force Styles on us.

 

[Judge Fudge]

I gotta say.

Everything that was a great apology for the abomination that was last week.

The 24/7 segments were pretty good.

Tag match was 4/5 stars.

They let Lesnar be Lesnar.

And the cherry on the sundae. The chaos summit

I was kinda enjoying Becky in the Sharpshooter as well.

 

[tducey]

Seems like RAW yesterday was pretty good. That's good. Hope Heyman gains footing and the show becomes good.

 

[jeffro151]

These Roman 'accidents' have involved some awful acting.

 

[jeffro151]

Well, SS wasn't a total waste of time. Great main event.

 

[wildturkey]

Well, SS wasn't a total waste of time. Great main event.

I thought it was hit or miss but overall I'd rate it good. It definitely helped that it didn't drag on forever as has gotten to be the case for a lot big WWE shows. A lot of the misses had more to do with WWE's bad storyline build to most of the matches. None of the womens' matches or even AJ/Ricochet felt like anything worthwhile. Kofi/Orton was good but with a crappy finish. The main event was good and glad Lesnar didn't keep the title. The Fiend was really fucking cool too.

What was the point of taking the strap off him for like 6 weeks?

Spitballing here but since the women's title match went on last at WM I think they wanted to save Rollins beating Lesnar clean for the title as the mainevent of SS so it had more of a big moment/coronation feel. Rollins got a cheap win at WM then a monumental one for the title last night.

should've had his ugly gf interfere. Would've made more sense.

But man, pulling an AJ STyles with Kofi's title match....ugh. What are these guys doing?

They wanted to pop ratings with Lesnar. That's the only reason.

 

[The Q]

I'm hoping they did it just to avoid a rematch with Styles so early.

Now bring it at SS.

If not, let Styles with the RR and have an EPIC main event at WM.

A truly worthy main event. one that woudl've been main event worthy 15-20 years ago.
