Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Liv and Raquel win the titles without the help of Jade....

And Jade is nowhere to be found either.

What's the point then of them winning if Jade isn't involved in any way?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

So Bianca is definitely winning the Chamber match or will Jade return and cost her? Seems odd you don't have Jade return there to either cost Bianca/Naomi and reveal it was them.

Anyhow, what a great tag team title match that was. Even Lyra vs Dakota was solid, just give them proper time each week and let them be on a PLE evey once in a while. The Women absolutely kill it, this is why fans are mad about the Women's booking, because matches like that is why they deserve better booking.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I doubt Liv wins the chamber now, but it would be stupid if she does win while also being tag champs.

Roxanne and Bayley are likely on a path to WM anyways

Bianca and Naomi likely going to face off with Jade right?

Which just leaves Alexa Bliss....She just came back and is on SD, likely part of the Wyatt story. Does she just suddenly win this and goes up against Rhea?

Nobody winning this chamber really makes sense to me which is what makes it so weird.

Reveal Naomi took Jade out, they have a WM match. Bianca's free to win EC and face Rhea, which will be a fine match but you think Triple H would give it more build than a random month before Mania.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Good Raw. Lyra/Dakota was a good match and so was the main event.

Loved the Gunther segment.

Punk with a very heel promo. Talking more **** about the beloved baby face Cody. Talking about being Satan incarnate. Maybe "his favor" could be Roman interjection taking out Cena or Rollins from the Chamber to set that up and give Punk the win. Something like that. I wouldn't like that very much. But I could see it. If we're talking money, it's Cena and Cody or Logan and Cody. If we're talking best match it's Seth and Cody. If we're talking story/continuity, it's Punk and Cody or Drew and Cody. I'm not sure Priest falls into it, though I like him. Either way I expect some shenanigans on Saturday. Don't think result will be clean.

The good thing about a late WM, there's 7 weeks of shows before WrestleMania. So it's "a month" but that's almost 2 months of build.

If it's Bianca vs Rhea, Bianca would need to be the heel. So it would be interesting to see where they put Bianca in this if Naomi attacked Jade. Is Bianca part of that plan, and if so, how would she fit in that story? Or is she on both shows doing two stories at once where SD is the Jade story and Raw is Rhea?

But still doesn't make sense why they'd lose the titles like that when the match ending had nothing to do with the story.

Getting tired of missing promos and backstage segments because of commercials. They ever going to get this right or we just have to deal with it?

Do you have the Netflix with Ads or without Ads? I'm thinking if you have the one without ads, then you get to see the promos and backstage stuff you are talking about.

Likely just have to deal with it.

People are speculating this is Netflix way of trying to encourage people to watch the show live, not the next day or later in the day. The ad break content is considered "bonus content for LIVE viewers" which does suck missing parts of matches, entrances, but more importantly interviews.

I'm fine missing parts of matches since that's how WWE has been since the start, but missing interviews does suck since you can't see that anywhere else. I never realized Roxanne was on this show because she was in the ad break part of it. That'll really hurt some talent too if their moments just come on parts of the show many don't see.

It'll be like when they had Raw second screen experience and so much good content was on it. Problem was, most fans didn't see it.

As The Rock would say....it doesn't matter.

I had the ad free tier for the first month and ad tier for the second month and I've noticed 0 difference in watching wwe tv shows (past episodes/ples and so on will have ads on the ad tier, but not recent/current ones).

Both tiers show the break content when it happens live, but both tiers also edit out the break content once it's no longer live.

It's good and bad. Good because ad tier costs half the price of ad free tier and i notice no difference. Bad because I want to see the interviews and so on during the breaks but it gets edited out.

I love editing out breaks for NXT and SD, but Raw specifically has interviews scheduled during those breaks that get edited out. Surely Netflix/WWE is aware of that...right? I've emailed WWE about it and got no response one way or the other.

For all the dirtsheet reporters who want to tell people who may or may not show up on any given week or what the weekly ratings were and all that, why not do some actual journalism and find out about what's going on with the ad breaks and what's going on with 0 new episodes added to either shows vault since day 1 of the Netflix deal?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Wow, really? There's full on things missing from shows if not watched live?

What an absolute ****ing travesty.

I already noticed when I get the file to watch that so many intros are cut or truncated.

This is so annoying.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

People have posted a few online over the last month. Actually, someone's probably posted everything but I've only come across a few when YouTube recommends them. They're just filler segments.

If it was important stuff they would put it on the actual show.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Glad I wanted for last minute tickets.

Got some decent seats for probably half of what they cost on presale.

Only bad thing is I'm under the WM sign.

Think of it as everyone's going to be pointing at you.

Trish: "To that little girl in the front row, your dad probably had a poster of me on his wall when he was your age."

That is going to be one awkward conversation after the show. On a side note, Trish & Tiffy are that mom and daughter combo where you don't know if you want to date the mom, or the daughter.

Both... The answer is both.
