    Big Johnny is back in charge of talent relations and we are already back to the Diva era, what's next? Signing a bunch of models who can't wrestle again? Bellas apparently want to come back and I guess when your mom is married to the guy in charge of talent relations, you can take a spot or two spots on the roster anytime.

      If the Bellas return, they're 100% winning the tag titles and WWE will claim them the greatest womens tag team in history.

      The divas era better not return. I never get how a guy who worked for WCW in talent relations during their dying years managed to usurp a guy who was responsible for many of the talent of the AE.

        BTW I still find it weird and funny the way Paul looks at Roman all the time.

          I actually like Reigns with Heyman more than I do Lesnar with Heyman, even though I think Reigns needs Heyman less than Lesnar did.

            They really just buried Naomi all for this Eva-lution stuff? Hell Eva didn't even wrestle the match, it was the same as before where she teases it but doesn't actually wrestle.

              It’s 2021 and people still think losing a match is being buried?

                So Bliss said because of what happened last week and "with WWE going on the road", she's put Lily in "timeout".

                So I take it the reaction to Raw last week was so bad that they completely ended the Lily story?

                Hope they can wrap up the Bliss stuff properly and just reveal it was actually The Fiend all along making Bliss think she brought him back and ended him, and that there was actually a Lily doll. In reality, the real Fiend has been gone since Orton set him on fire (the one we saw return was a fake one Bliss brought back).

                Riddle: Maybe we could start a band. Boogs from Smackdown could be on the guitar, Xavier Woods would be on bass. Orton on the keyboard, tickling the ivory. What do you thi..(Jeff leaves) o......

                *Orton enters*

                Riddle: HEY RANDY! What do you think of Elton John?

                Orton: WHAT?

                Riddle: Nevermind, not important.

                  I have no idea who that was that Eva is managing, but at least this is different I guess. Is she gonna be managing the same person every week or will it be someone different each time?

                  And they teased a Jeff Hardy retirement. I wonder if we'll actually see it. Maybe at Summerslam? I'm surprised he isn't even in AEW yet. I figured he'd get paid there too, team with Matt, go up against the Young Bucks.

                  McIntyre bringing up "Trashley". Goes on about some story for 2 minutes, asks how it connects to HIAC.."it doesn't, I just love that story, I'm not telling you my strategy."

                    NXT UK Star Piper Niven was the one with Eva Marie.

                      As mentioned, it’s Piper Niven. I don’t know if there are any NXT UK matches of hers worth checking out (because who watches NXT UK?) but she had a couple matches in one of the Mae Young Classics I remember thinking were good. One vs Toni Storm and one vs…I want to say Serena Deeb? I’d have to look up the brackets again to be sure.

                        Piper Niven (if she's keeping that name) is super talented and deserved a dominant win in her debut.

                        Naomi is just like Natalya at this point, a veteran that can still go, but can also help put younger women over.

                        Nothing wrong with being "squashed" by a physically bigger or stronger person.

                        Great booking and swerve job which I hope helps establish and builds up Niven (especially with the eventual break up).

                          Holy cow, this week's RAW had so many female matches. Opening with Nikki Cross vs Charlotte. I really dont like how the company is booking Cross. Its clear they dont think much of her. Eva Marie made her return to the company and of course, she wasn't going to wrestle. Instead, she had someone else wrestle for her in Piper Niven who squashed Naomi. Asuka/Ripley was a fine match but its clear the company doesn't know what to do with Asuka at the moment. As much as I like to see Alexa Bliss in action, this supernaturl stuff needs an endgame. Her match against Nia Jax was whatever to me. And not surprised Nia Jax doesn't take a loss and instead gets DQ due to Reginald. Why is this company protecting Nia Jax so much?

                          The only things I enjoyed were the New Day/RKBro Stuff with their segments and their match was good. The Drew McIntyre/Styles match lead to a tag team match. I dont have a problem with this too much. Did enjoy seeing Omos face off against Drew though. Thats about it. I was baffled with the Jeff Hardy stuff. He had no offense against Morrison but gets to beat Cedric Alexander post match?

                            Here's a shocker



                            How does this end? Unclean leading to a rematch 2 nights later?

                            Or does something happen and we actually get Reigns vs Jimmy?

                              I'm fully prepared for the bait and switch and and Sunday becomes a 3 on 2 Handicap winner take all match for the Universal & Tag Titles.

                              As for Sunday, this would mean without some bait and switch like I mentioned that Lashley vs McIntyre would close the show with their Cell match. The only reason I can think of is... Brock is coming back to set up his feud with Lashley for Summerslam.

                                I'd love the winner takes all match. Knowing for sure we're getting a new champ.

                                Like I said in the past, it would be even crazier if it's a 2v2 match.

                                Jimmy and either Jey or Roman. If Reigns isn't even involved in the match, he would be furious at possibility of losing the title without even being in the match. Or Reigns having to team with Jimmy given everything.
