    Yeah right, Netflix is full of control freaks.

      Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

      From a business perspective I'm curious where Raw goes from October to December when there USA deal is up. I'm sure it'll be a boring answer, but maybe there's a chance something interesting happens with it. It's right in the heart of MNF season, so I don't know if a network will pay a ton of money for temporary content at it's lowest value.

        The most popular guess I've seen is just going to Peacock.

        Probably not many suitors even if it's dirt cheap willing to pay for Raw for 3 months.

        And December is often write offs for WWE, so it's really just 2 months of shows.

        December could just have one week of "best of 2024" Raw and another week of Slammy Awards.

          WWE could always just be on WWE network for three months and try to increase the subscriber count. Other than that, yeah probably Peacock.

              He’s done it two weeks in a row, I hope it becomes a thing every time The Rock cuts a promo where he starts out telling the crowd he has some news they’re going to love and then ****s all over them. I’m really intrigued by what they’re doing with Roman and The Rock. It’s clearly not going to last with the way Rock steals the spotlight when he’s in the ring with the Bloodline, but it could go in so many different directions

                I want a Rock/NOD after WM14 moment.

                We see a promo with Rock and Reigns and it ends with Rock taking over the Bloodline (after Reigns lost) and they kick Reigns out.

                  So Nick Aldis and Pearce have been discussing the tag team titles and have an announcement soon in regards to them? If this is what I think it is, about damn time they split the titles back up. Too many tag teams on both shows to be tying the belts down to one team. This means, Miz/Truth can beat Judgment Day for the RAW Tag Titles(Truth pins Priest and gets a Wrestlemania Moment) while a Ladder Match to determine new Smackdown Tag Champions at Mania?

                    Truth showing up for the smackdown tag title match instead of the Raw match will be fantastic

                      I could also just see some "tag team turmoil" match.

                      If they do split the titles, it's definitely gonna follow the other titles. World Tag Team Titles and WWE Tag Team Titles.

                        Just checked this and yeah, you're right. Didn't know this since it's been years since I last subscribed to the WWE Network.

                          It all comes full circle.

                          There was once WWE 24/7 or WWE on Demand.

                          We eventually got the WWE Network.

                          Now with the Network merging with Peacock and soon Netflix, WWE on Demand is basically a thing again without calling it that.

                              Wouldn't be surprised to see Dom written off briefly.

                              He's getting married soon (nobody tell Mami), so probably would take time off, I'd imagine after WM (you'd be stupid to book a honeymoon during WM season), but perhaps he's written off before if he is gonna be away for a bit.

                              Don't know what the plans would even be for him right now anyways. They definitely were planning a feud with Rey, but with his injury and at most doing a 6-8 man tag so he doesn't have to compete for long, that's out the window. Summerslam would be the more fitting event for Rey vs Dom 2 anyways for obvious reasons.

                                Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins kick off Monday Night RAW... will they accept The Rock's challenge for the Tag Team Match at Wrestlemania?
