WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

Maybe they should have done this with Reigns years ago to make one of those garbage years with Lesnar's worthless *** actually be interesting.

Please God don't bring that guy back.

Had an awesome idea just now while taking my morning leak:

What if last week at Summerslam, we saw Bray win. Then after that Paul Heyman came out at the top of the stage. And everyone thought it was for Lesnar. Announcers going crazy, "crowd" going crazy, THEN bam, you have Reigns coming out the same way he did to attack Bray.

Now that would have been pretty cool. And again, even cooler if Lesnar never comes back at all ever again.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

Ok Smackdown was good this week. Nice opener with Jeff Hardy defending his IC Title against Shinsuke. And then Sami Zayn finally makes his return to the show with his IC Title as well. Looks like he is going to feud with Hardy someday soon to claim the rightful IC Champion. WWE, please stop letting Matt Riddle talk. Its not his strength. And he's still feuding with Baron Corbin? When will this end? And what difference does it make for Shorty G to turn heel? Wait, is he back to Chad Gable now too?

The Golden Role Models have new challengers for their Tag Team Titles. Thats good. Is Stroman back to being a heel too? I haven't watched Smackdown for the last two weeks. I want to see Big E keep winning and its nice to see him get the pinfall victory in the 6 man tag team match. Lastly, wow at the ending. Reigns and Heyman together? But I thought AJ Styles despises Heyman. How will they co-exist on the blue brand?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

For anyone who didnt catch it, Kenny Omega made his WWE debut....kinda.

He signed up for the Thunderdome and actually made it on TV as one of the fans on the screen. He confirmed it as well.


I wonder what would happen if all AEW talent just signed up one day for fun.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

The final RAW of August as we begin the build to Clash of Champions next month. Per WWE.com:

- Rey Mysterio vs Seth Rollins.... Why?

- How will Keith Lee build upon his monumental victory over 13 time World Champion Randy Orton?

- Can Shayna & Nia get along as WWE Women's Tag Champions and who will step up to challenge them? Will The Golden Role Models demand a Rematch?

- Who will show up on RAW Underground next?

Is Retribution over with so soon?

Good match to start off RAW between Lee & Ziggler.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

WWE is killing their Women's Tag Division, as if they don't care about it.

Kabuki Warriors - No More after Kairi left the company.

Fire & Desire - Broken Up

Alexa & Nikki - Basically no more.

Sasha & Bayley - The Role Models will Implode shortly and also be broken up.

Now The IIconics per the stupid match stipulation, can not be a team no longer after losing out on a tag title opportunity to Ruby Riott & Liv Morgan.

Beyond stupid booking adding that stipulation, but what's new?!

Maybe we'll see some call ups from NXT, the female members of Retribution form a tag team or something. I'm not sure what Vince is thinking.....

Peyton Royce just throwing Billie to the wolves on RAW Underground. Peyton just throwing her friendship away.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

So we get three matches and a Triple Threat Match only to end up with a Summerslam Rematch between Orton & McIntyre? Obviously Drew will want revenge on Orton so why not just say Orton vs McIntyre in a No DQ or Street Fight or something. Would have saved a lot of time.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

I was kinda sports entertained with this week's RAW. The push of Keith Lee is apparent with him getting a clean win over Ziggler to insert himself into the main event of the show. Aleister Black is going to probably feud with Kevin Owens after attacking him in his match against Orton. The Hurt Business continue to get a lot of screentime as they continue their feud(s) with Apollow Crews and the other bland guys in the company. Its only a matter of time when Crews or Alexander join the Hurt Business.

This really was the end of the IIconics? If so, then I pray for Billie Kay and her solo career. She even got "beatdown" on RAW Underground. That Seth Rollins/Dominik match was nice. Dominik continues to impress me on the main roster. Must be nice to leapfrog the NXT route. The 24/7 Title angle made me laugh. What is the endgame of this Retribution angle? As well for RAW Underground? Lastly, nice main event triple threat match. Keith Lee shined here and was protected. We had a predictable winner but it makes sense.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

Vince sees a lot in Peyton Royce so the split didn't really surprise or bother me. They are former 1x Women Tag Champs, so at least they got a run.

I see Peyton capturing the gold quite a few times over her career, but man, if they let Billie Kay just be her goofy self she could be a star. I am going to reserve my final comment for this split, but I assume with the draft coming they will even switch brands.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown August Thread

Billy Kay is arguably the most naturally entertaining person in the whole company. She’s New Day level. If she’s just abandoned it would be an absolute crime

Unfortunately, a lot of her awkwardness is also seen in here in-ring work. I agree that she could be entertaining like New Day or R-Truth, but I thought the IIconics had a little more mileage.

Especially, with how weak the tag team divisions are on both shows.
