WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

From all reports, Chad Gable is technically a free agent as his contract was up last Friday. I'm assuming they came to a one week agreement to get through Clash at the Castle. Chad should go out on RAW tonight and threaten to leave the WWE with the IC Title if they don't give him what he wants.

I mean we won't see Drew recreate Punk's storyline but do it with Gable.

Speaking of free agent, seems another talent could be having their last match tonight.

Spoiler

Ricochets deal that has been rumored to be up soon and not being re-signed only has him working through tonight. So tonight's his last show.

Turns out he lost the Speed title already and the episode airs on Wednesday.

Hopefully Samantha doesn't leave too. Her leaving would be a way bigger loss than Ricochet.

And thinking about it, I could see Gable losing at Clash only because of the Alpha Academy which causes him to kick everyone out of the Alpha Academy.

He gets one final rematch at MITB (maybe a "if Gable loses, he must leave WWE" type of situation) but he beats Zayn for the title in Canada with the help of the Creeds who have now joined the Alpha Academy.

That would draw big heat with that title win, and maybe the Creeds go on to win the tag titles at Summerslam? Anyone who opposes R-Truth is getting booed, and you're facing Miz in Cleveland, so extra heat for them too.

Otis bringing up Mandy Rose and "Tucky". A shame the pandemic era ruined this. Otis-Mandy story was getting good.

I think him turning on Gable probably will be his biggest reaction since those days.

Carlito not used to being in a Judgment Day entrance, then gets scared by their "pyro" noise.

Cole calling a Dragon Lee match for 15 seconds before realizing its Mysterio.

The hotel card is gone!

Raw better end with Liv in her hotel, someone knocks on the door, swipes themselves in, fade to black.

I really hope Gable wins Saturday, then we get a big year long build up to Mania next year where Otis wins the IC Title from him. Would be cool if Otis kept following Gable's orders and "Tucky" returned to try to snap him out of it only for Gable to remind him what Tucky did and cost him the briefcase. Making Otis even more split on what to do.

I’m just here to second the motion that The Shield was a nothing burger as a group in the grand scheme of wrestling history.

Why is Yawn Stroman still a thing? And why does he look like he’s moving around like Kevin Nash circa 2011?

R-Truth is definitely having K-Kwik flashbacks now.

First DX, now the APA?

How long before Truth starts talking about joining The Alliance or going up against the brothers of destruction?

I figured he's still around for the Uncle Howdy stuff eventually. We'll see.

Never realized he's 40 already too.

He's been out for almost a year or so due to injury, perhaps his body is slowing down.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

That was an awkward few seconds between when Shayna won and her theme played, and the crowd is just dead silent.

This Toldeo crowd sucks. Only good thing is the Vegas crowd in the UFC Apex last night was worse.

I really thought when Ricochet came out that Bron was gonna spear him through the barricade right infront of Samantha.

Truth will come out when the Bloodline is in the ring, and see The Rock, and call them the Nation lol.

Watching Bron kill Ricochet be like......

Ricochet suddenly appearing is like a character in a tv show who suddenly reappears in the season finale.

You know he's gonna die.

Did Cole mess up?

He said Cody vs AJ is an I Quit match (like they mentioned on SD) but then explained the last man standing match rules....

McAfee doing ring announcing and almost wiped out from the announce table when McIntyres pyros went off.

Pat McAfee went to the Scott Steiner School of Ring Announcing lol.
