Humberto Carrillo

that's him!

and I am disappointed they got rid of Angel's gimmick where he was ripping his pants off and had someone's face painted on his briefs

They've gotten into a habit of taking away lots of worked for guys in NXT once they get called up.

Kinda lame to just straight up announce the Drew/Lashley match with no build at all.

it works for me

wondering if Drew and Sheamus will end with them bffs again after fastlane

Lashley helped Miz steal Drew’s title at Elimination Chamber, that’s a story right there plus all the time before WM to build on that.

agree...you don't really need much more than that.

I expect Drew and Sheamus to be buddies after Fastlane, so that's put in the past...Miz goes to feud with the NXT dude and Bad Bunny.

Lashley and McIntyre is built up as much as it needs to be built up...and the two of them can give a long, quality match.

But they just gave him the match. It's a pretty lazy way of doing it. Like Fastlane (useless PPV btw but if its there, at least use it) is right there. Why not just toss Drew, Sheamus, and Miz into some kind of contender's match. At least its something.

Turkey might be on to something...

Not like they haven't had #1 contenders match at fast line before. 3 I think.

Now to the reason I came. There has been Scutrerbug going around that Charly Caruso is on heat backstage. Late for Interviews.

Several fans have raised questions regarding Charly Caruso's whereabouts as the WWE announcer has not been seen on WWE TV in recent weeks.

i agree based on what they did on raw that it would make sense

 

[wildturkey]

LMAO

They added train sound effects for when Braun is running around the ring. That's corny as fuck.

 

[The Q]

So we have garbage who isn’t ready going after the SD women’s title and we have someone who hasn’t had a match and it a new call up from the jv team getting the raw womens title shot with 2 weeks to try and build something

well they just let Rhea do it without even having a single main roster match

 

[RobToxin]

Bro. If Vince Russo was a stoner, bro, he'd be Riddle. Bro.

That sorta is and isn't their fault. A lot of the Raw side of the women's division fell apart from things outside of their control. Asuka got hurt and was on the shelf for a few weeks. Lacey Evans got pregnant. Charlotte got covid. Post RR, it looked like they were all gonna be heavily involved in the lead up to Wrestlemania but it all fell apart. Now where the part they deserve some blame is they've done such a poor job building up any women with any credibility beyond 2 or 3 at the top of the card on either show, that they never have anyone ready they can plug and play right away (hence why they had to shotgun Rhea). It's been a systematic issue for WWE for a long time now. They really struggle doing much beyond 1 women's storyline per show at a time. Women down the card just get left out to dry.

It’s Becky’s fault.

buried the entire roster

should be shayna. She’s make perfect sense. But no, Becky buried her and now she can’t get out of it
