Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

The US Title Match is happening next week on RAW in Cleveland, OH. It's time for Ciampa to find The Way..... to Championship Gold?

Hmm, that would be pretty damn cool. Wish I was able to go to the show, but can't get to Cleveland that night.

That ending just fell flat to me, Edge accidentally spearing Dominik does nothing for me. Perhaps if he speared Rey by accident, I would have had more of a reaction.

Edge/Beth/Rey vs Finn/Rhea/Damian at Clash at The Castle?

Yeah, that match shouldn't have ended the show. Ciampa vs AJ ending it would have been great if you are trying to make Ciampa look strong, which they already are. But you could have hammered it home if he would have stood over AJ and held his arm in the air as the cameras fade to black.

But overall, as they say, I was sports entertained. Lots of changes and I love it.

I have a feeling Rey and Dominick are about to take time off. And Dom needs to go to NXT and learn a little more.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Holy hell this week's RAW was fascinating for sure. A ton of wrestling occurred on the show as one thing. Two Triple Threat matches leading to a US Title top contender match. The Styles/Miz/Ali match was better than the Ciampa/Ziggler/Gable match but what was cool here was that these were new matches with some fresh opponents in Ali and Ciampa and Gable. I'm fine with Becky being a face again since though since the fans have clearly shown that they rather cheer for her than boo her. This new stable of Bayley is intriguing too and they had a ton of screentime on the show. The Belair/Iyo Sky match was pretty lengthy and I was wondering if someone was going to lose this match but it lead to a no contest which protects everyone involved and keeps the feud going since it might involve Bliss and Asuka.

Rollins/Ford was a great singles match as Montez continues to show his potential as a singles star. Ciampa beating AJ Styles to earn a US Title opportunity makes sense since he is a heel and Bobby needs a fresh heel to go against. I think if Vince was in charge still, Ciampa would not even get this chance. I guess the Tag Team Titles continue to main event shows now. Fine Title match between Usos/Misterios. Figured Dominik was eating the pin. Loved the stuff that happened after with Edge out for vengeance. Solid show overall as everything served a purpose and no 24/7 bs.

Makes more sense to spear Dominik if you’re going to eventually turn him. Stuff has to happen to push him thah way.

WWE has to stop going to Texas, I feel they have been in Texas for RAW and Smackdown the past month or so. Crowd definitely felt like they are worn out and tired of WWE for a bit. That also explains why KO wasn't on RAW, the show was in Texas. Just surprised they didn't go to Memphis for RAW last night.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

There's definitely chemistry there. Is this Dakota Kai's first time on the main roster?

She had a few matches on the main roster, but that was things like the rumble and the NXT invasion.

What a crazy time for her though.

To end March they reunited Kai and Raquel who split up the summer prior. They then won the tag titles, lost the tag titles 3 days later, Kai then challenged for and lost the NXT womens title match the very next week and then was released.

And once the 90 days was up, she returned because she "knows how to play the game" (funny line she threw in there on Raw)

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

WWE announced a 7 Women Gauntlet Match to determine Liv Morgan's challenger for Clash at The Castle. It will be Nattie, Raquel Rodriguez, Aliyah, Shotzi, Xia Lee, Sonya Deville and Shayna Baszler.

Liv's natural progression from Ronda to Shayna is about to happen.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

The boo birds were out for Liv. Don't think the crowd liked that finish to her match at Smackdown. Hoping this is another instance of the crowd "turning" on someone.

We'll see.....

Now, this is a pro Ronda crowd? And Liv just casually dropped a S - bomb like she's on TBS or TNT.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

That promo was 2017 Bayley level bad, which is weird because even though Liv isn’t great at promos she’s better than whatever happened tonight.

I think the negative reaction just threw her off her game. Which is weird cause I've always thought she was good on the stick and could handle being booed. Had an off night and gotta do better next time.

I see Trips is gonna push Shayna, again. I just pray he doesn't push her like in NXT.

Other people might like Shayna but I find her (and her wrestling style) extremely boring.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

If these first two episodes of Smackdown are any indication, then Triple H is gonna book somewhat similarly to NXT Black and Gold.

I'm hoping I'm wrong about that but seeing a lot of wrestling and minimal storytelling. It's only been two weeks so I don't want to overreact.

I'm hoping he makes the needed adjustments cause that style is already being catered to. WWE needs to be a mixture of matches and compelling storylines to really hook the audience.

WWE needs to call - up the Creed Brothers & Legado Del Fantasma like yesterday. I did like that segment, but Kofi is ****ed without a partner (I'm sure Woods injury is kayfabe).

I think the Creeds need more time in NXT to develop actual characters.

LDF I could see called up soon. The way things are going in NXT, I definitely see Santos vs Tony where if Tony wins, LDF is gone from NXT for good, and if Santos wins, LDF aren't part of his family anymore.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Interesting....

After months of 0 mention of it, WWE announces the womens tag title tournament kicks off on Raw next week.

So, does it actually happen or....
