WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Man, I'm watching the highlights on YouTube and Michael Cole was hyped as **** last night. Not sure why, but his calling of stuff feels a lot more natural lately (even if he's not my favorite play-by-play guy).

I might have to watch this entire episode instead of the condensed version on Hulu.

One thing I really like about the Wyatt Sick6 is that it gives talent like Gacy, Cross, and Lumis something to really sink their teeth into. It also gives Erick Rowan a second chance in WWE that he should've never lost (IMO).

I'm not even kidding. Last night's show could be the Raw of 2024, maybe even the show of the year (PLE/PPVs excluded).


Storyline wise everything hit 100%. It felt great. Stories felt organic, and flowed so well.


They are building up new stars such as Reed and now Odyssey (400+ days finally debuted!). Punk and McIntyre was so simple, and well done.


The Judgment Day story I could watch forever. Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley are stars. Dominik Mysterio is going to be a massive star.


American Made I'm excited for. I feel like they missed the opportunity with Gable, but I'm willing to see where they are going with this.

Odyssey Jones actually exists.

Is he gonna be a new member of New Day? Apparently Big E has been pitching for a new member ever since he got hurt but Woods and Kofi refused to. Odyssey fills the powerhouse that they've been missing since E got hurt. Nobody can replace E's charisma, but hopefully he's at least interesting.

Was it Woods that didn’t seem too thrilled?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I wonder if Rollins is (still) hurt or just taking time off again? Taking him out for now to extend the McIntyre/Punk stuff so they can insert Rollins back later on?

Seemed weird he'd return just to suddenly compete at MITB then just doesn't compete again and then is written off again. Like how Becky was supposed to be done but then had to come back with Rhea hurt which just led to the story which wrote her off.

I think the HIAC match could be a triple threat. Would be first (and only other) triple threat HIAC since 2011 which also featured CM Punk.

Was it Woods that didn’t seem too thrilled?

Seemed more like he wasn't thrilled Kofi got Odyssey without telling him beforehand. But Woods also got happy once Alpha Academy (they should've just had Gable keep that name) came in. Don't think they'd split up New Day. If anything it feels like Woods/Kofi want the group to stick together because that'll be part of their legacy too, being the one stable that never turned on each other/split.

Roman is being advertised for the next 3 out of 4 Smackdowns. You know Solo done messed up if Roman is working that many shows.

Aldis just used the Bugs Bunny rabbit season duck season trick to get KO to accept a title match

Also known as reverse psychology. [emoji38]

This situation with making Kevin Owens the #1 contender makes me more annoyed that Bobby Lashley is out with injury (and possibly leaving WWE). He could have - more like should've - been built up as the next monster heel (which Smackdown lacks) to possibly take the title off Cody. And it could've been a multiple PLE branching feud if it was built up right.

Why did Triple H/WWE creative kick Giovanni out of Imperium just to give him back his old NXT 2.0 gimmick?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I needed ten to twenty more minutes of that show ending segment. I still think Fatu's injury is a work to keep him away from Roman for now.

And they made the G.O.D. look like jabronis getting beat up 1 - on - 2. [emoji38]

It's still crazy to think Roman is finally getting cheered as a top babyface after all these years lol.
