    Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

    Good show of RAW this week. Opening promo with Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch. Both ladies had good promos but dang, the crowd reaction. The crowds seem to not want to boo Rhea anymore while Becky is still beloved. This match could end being a babyface vs babyface match up if this keeps up. Only Dominik's role in this will keep it a traditional heel vs babyface.

    With the Miz a babyface now (and he's been good at it this time), Shinsuke Nakamura is the new Miz. The one where the company tries to treat as a threat in beating his opponents. But all he does now is job. Zayn defeats him in another stellar match. Chelsea Green might have gotten squashed by Racquel Rodriguez but her characterwork keeps her memorable while Racquel still lacks a character. I'm impartial to the Gunther promo. I have no clue who will ever dethrone him at this point. Dont think it will be Dominik. Match of the night was the Street Fight between the New Day and Imperium. Some great spots here and loved the elbow drop spot from Woods. Great promo from McIntrye and Rollins. Drew's character makes it hard to root against him. Seth is Seth. At least he is still staying true to his character. I honestly thought Liv Morgan was going to get squashed by Nia Jax in their match. It was going that way. But glad it ended with a non finish to protect Liv who can't afford a loss yet. And she's still hot to look at. Rhodes vs Waller was a good match. But um, brand split WWE? Waller and Theory are Smackdown superstars. Whatever. Strong promo work post match with Heyman and Cody. Seeing this aggressive side of Cody is needed as he continues to want to finish his story.

      United States Ladder Match and an Intercontinental Championship Scramble sounds great to me for Mania!

        I don't know if we'll see a multi man match for the US title. It is possible I guess if KO isn't done with Logan Paul but LA Knight could also be added in it.

            I want one on one matches for both of those.

            Gunther has had it for that long. It deserves a single competitor to beat him.

              I'm the opposite. Gunther has defeated everyone, at this point the only way to take the title off of him is for this style of match.

              I would prefer Chad Gable dethrone him in a Singles Match, but I just don't see it.

                Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

                Seems like Logan Paul vs Randy Orton and LA Knight vs AJ Styles are two of the expected matches which I prefer over three/four/five ways. Enough of them. They basically had a six way at the Elimination Chamber and a four way at the Royal Rumble.

                Whenever I see a champion competing in a 3/4 way match, that tells me the champion is the favorite to win the match and retain the title.

                Reigns/Cody
                Rollins/Drew
                Styles/Knight
                Ripley/Lynch
                Sky/Bayley
                Paul/Orton
                Jimmy/Jey Uso
                Kabuki Warriors/Baszler & Stark
                Priest & Finn/Imperium

                Not every above match is confirmed but that's the way it's looking to me. As for Gunther, they should do a round robin tournament with the top 4 contenders and whoever comes away with the most wins/points challenges Gunther for the title.

                Also, wouldn't be shocked to see Rock/Reigns vs Cody/Seth night one main event with both title matches being night two.

                On paper for what's been confirmed, card is shaping up to be pretty damn good.

                  Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns & The Rock are all being advertised for the March 8th edition of Smackdown from Dallas, TX. That's huge... wonder what will happen tomorrow and on RAW to set everything up. Or will this be just Seth doing dark matches?

                    Before I was thinking that the tag match would be night one of WM but now im thinking the tag match happens on RAW six days before WM. This way, no one has to wrestle twice in two days and keeps the title matches for the last match night 1 and night 2.

                      First match in 11 years for The Rock isn't happening anywhere other than WrestleMania.

                        I didn't watch the full 21 minute promo The Rock did earlier on Instagram or whatever but man I can't help but smile as I'm watching it. This is who The Rock truly is, the Rock that would get one half of the crowd to say something and the other half to say something, was NOT the Rock. This right here is The Rock everyone remembers. You can see at some points during this promo where Rock himself is enjoying this heel character and being able to do this role. Thank goodness for us fans to get him to turn heel on us lol.

                            I wonder why that's being done. At EC it's apparently due to stricter regulations in Australia, but regular shows they just show everything or cut to the crowd.

                                I assume it’s been tech issues, but yeah it pretty annoying. They wouldn’t black out a Rock promo intentionally.
