    Sad thing is we can't blame Vince for this. It couldn't have been Triple H because she's been doing these special ring announcements for a while now. Probably someone from the new TKO group who doesn't understand.

      Nothing is going top Sami breaking the Bloodline but Truth is doing a damn good job at getting Priest to break. I saw Rhea and Finn at one point had smiles on their face but that whole segment was great.

      Truth: Siri, how far is 34th Street?

        Ring announcements or just this one? I think Samantha did all her other normal ones last night, so maybe this is just a change specific to Chelsea Green.

          Could just be a Chelsea one, guess we'll see.

            I don’t mind her toning it down. Some of the calls were leaning a little too hard into it. It’s like when a sequel leans way to hard on the scene stealer from the first movie. Too much of a good thing.

              I think she should just keep it to Imperium and then you can build a story around how Gunther told her she was no longer allowed to give anyone else special intros. If Ludwig and Vinci keep messing up, he tells her to not give them special intros until they stop messing up. Like you all have said, they need to use it as part of the storyline. Don't know what his contract status is, but imagine if Chelsea gets mad she lost her intro, found out Gunther is the reason why and brings back Matt Cardona to fight Gunther.

                Random question.... But when we see them whisper something into the others ear, are they telling them the move coming? I've always wondered this for some reason.

                  It basically is. Setting up a next spot usually.

                  If it's the ref, they might just be relaying how much time is left in their match or if there's something someone backstage (like HHH, Vince, Bruce etc.) want to tell them, or just checking to make sure they are ok after a bad looking spot.

                  Post match it might just be thanking someone or something else (like Austin telling Rock he loves him after WM19).

                    So it seems Kross is getting a faction and they teased the AOP with Paul Ellering returning. Maybe this will be the thing that gets people invested in Kross, cause I'm still waiting for him to do something interesting since returning.

                        Maybe this whole tag title thing is getting a twist?

                        I've wanted two sets of tag titles, but maybe we haven't had them split for this reason?

                        Raw will be the tag titles, SD getting "trios titles"?

                        Lashley,Street Profits
                        OC
                        Kross,AOP
                        LDF
                        LWO (Carlito,Cruz,Wilde?)

                        Pretty Deadly don't have a 3rd for their team, but I'm sure they could find someone too.

                        Probably a long shot to get Big E back with New Day involved in this too.

                        Gallus could be called up if you need another team too



                        That was such an awkward ending. Even with it being a taped SD they still messed up showing the ending of the match by having a replay air during it.

                          Simply just adding. Tyler Breeze with Pretty Deadly would be hilarious. Especially if he is like more of a manager role. I used to be GORGEOUS, now... I'm vintage...

                          Could be Pretty Deadly cheering him up, or just have some fun in other ways. He's already under contract with the WWE, so why not?

                            I don't know if Breeze still competes, if he can then that would be a good thing to have.

                            If not, R-Truth can blend in with anyone. Just bring back "Pretty Ricky" to join Pretty Deadly.

                              First Raw of post Kevin Dunn era.

                              We'll see how much from a production standpoint things change, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not as much as we all hoped.

                              Day 1 features Rollins vs McIntyre for the world title, Becky vs Nia, Rhea vs Ivy for the Women's world title and Nox,Natalya vs Shayna,Zoey.

                              Do we see any returns or debuts tonight?

                              Tonight's just the 3rd ever Raw to air live on New Years Day.

                                I'd say if any changes occur from a presentation or production standpoint it'll be gradual. I would be very surprised if they make any radical changes on day one (no pun intended).

                                As long as they cut back on all the constant camera cuts, then any other changes can slowly be rolled out.
