WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Rollins went there with Riddle... I mean Matt Riddle. Triple H even hated the removal of first names that Vince always did for some reason lol.

If that back and forth had been presented as the actual confrontation and not a "hot mic" thing during the commercial then they'd really be on to something.

You can't exactly have that kind of language on live TV.

They can still bleep it. There's always a delay.

Not for the live crowd. I don't think parents going with kids want to hear F bombs. Censored on a non live video is a different story.

It still got the point across and made the animosity feel "real" between them.

Hopefully we see a more "vicious" version Riddle on Saturday afternoon.

Sucks I'm gonna miss the live broadcast and will need to watch a rebroadcast later in the night.

Just record the segment and air it saying it's live then lol. I just want that vibe to be a part of the show and not something that is presented as out of place. WWE desperately needs promos that don't scream fake and scripted. The product overall needs that as part of every show.

Good first match. Glad the Viking Raiders won. I believe that's three times in a row. That's how you get a tag team over. Not with 50/50 crap. So glad that's gone.

Damn good opening match. It was so good I wish they would've saved it for the PLE.

Some intensity from Liv. Nice to see it.

Why did Karrion Kross go with a bald head in NXT? Having hair makes him look a lot less generic and bland, IMO.

Who would have thought Adam Pierce would cut a fire promo? That was great.

How hard did WWE have to go to find a photo of Wrestlemania 37 w/o Bryan Danielson visible in it?

Or they just used a photo without him in it.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Pretty good show. Didn't expect anything huge to happen since it was taped. I liked the Butch and Kaiser match. And having Butch basically being Pete Dunne in look and in the ring was nice to see.

I also liked the black roses from Kross for Roman. I continue to love that they can book more than two people in the main event scene.

Would have liked to see Roman but last week was awesome. This week, well I know they had to get one over on each other so I expected this. But it was still pretty good.

That whole segment was great, especially from Pearce.

Even Rousey was good in this segment which isn't something you can really say about her too often. Might have been one of her best promos, and it wasn't really even her talking much, just some quick jabs, but it works.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

If Drew loses after that awesome segment where he took out the Bloodline ensuring a one on one match with Roman, I don't know what to say. This is the perfect time to take the titles off Roman, then they can figure out how to split the titles up if they want.

Just please give Drew back Broken Dreams. Just let Drew come out to that tomorrow. Or if he wins, at least play that as he is celebrating.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I’m so torn on tomorrow. On the one hand the time is perfect for Drew to take the titles and no one in the company deserves that celebration more than him after what happened to him going into Covid. He carried the company through the Thunderdome and was robbed of his huge moment in front of a crowd.

On the other hand….a returning and victorious Cody and Rumble. Roman beats Rock on night one then loses to Cody on night to for the titles would also be all time legendary.

Next to Edge at WM in 2021 (could've had him win the title 10 years to the day he retired), there's no better way for someone to beat Reigns than McIntyre at this show.

McIntyre wins the title, gets a moment probably bigger than if he won the title at WM36 with fans there, has feuds like Kross and Sheamus set up. Reigns could then be gone until Survivor Series time if needed for the rematch (unless both brands get titles again and its just a champ vs champ match).

And the thing about Broken Dreams, as good as a song as it is, I like his current theme too. Broken Dreams as an entrance and his current theme playing when he wins matches/comes out for promos would be a nice mix.
