    "So for those of you who weren't here 10 years ago and were really confused as to why your millenial parents were very excited on Friday, allow me to introduce myself.

    "My name is AJ Lee. And I am your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler."

      How do you air this during a commercial break!? Styles going off on management?



      Given he's in his final run too, I wonder if he'll stay in WWE or is the "someone doesn't want me here" line going to lead to him "walking" and going to TNA perhaps for a bit?


      Before that, I want El Grande Americanos vs AJ, Dragon Lee (team AJ Lee!?) and whoever else is needed to round out their team in a traditional Survivor Series match

          For whatever reason, Netflix is showing ads instead of stuff at the arena. I haven't had this issue ALL YEAR since RAW went to Netflix. Now suddenly, I'm getting commercials?

            We know Punk is a Cubs fan, is he a well known Bears fan? Like you would think Seth & Punk would be able to bond over that, I thought football united everyone lol.

              AJs been gone for a decade, yet I think she's BETTER now than before. Her mic skills now are so good. Obviously she was on the mic more than most women back then, but even that was short segments usually. She was great tonight!

              She got THERAPY chants! Someone bring Dr.Shelby back!

                They've done it all year long but it's been so inconsistent. Sometimes I'll watch and they'll continue a match in the break, sometimes the following match somehow doesn't do that. There's no logic behind any of it.

                I just got Rusev vs Penta in it's entirety even during the break, yet I'm watching on the same delay as I was during the Styles promo so why is some being shown and not others?

                  People might have their opinions on Brock being back but they're sure making it hard to hate having him back when we get another great Truth/Lesnar promo.

                  Funniest part is Lesnar legitimately doesn't get any of these jokes/references since he obviously doesn't watch anything else in the show so he no sells all of Truths jokes, but that's what makes it funnier.

                  Speaking of not watching the show, it's also funny how Lesnar shows up to SD looking for Cena....a week after they announce it was Cenas last appearance on SD.

                  The random breaks continue. Watching this time around, the breaks didn't skip. But I don't get how they don't find a good middle ground. I'm fine with smaller banner ads on the screen during the breaks. At least we'll get the break content.

                  But then they had ad breaks right after?! This really makes no sense. I get one part of Zayn vs Fenix and get to see the match during the break,but the next break during their match has actual ads...


                  Not only does WWE counter program All Out in Toronto, the theme song for Wrestlepalooza is a Drake song...no coincidence right? Couldn't have gotten a Drake song for the actual PLE in Toronto months earlier?

                  Tony has the chance to do the funniest thing ever....

                    "Stu, I ripped My Pants." - Brock Lesnar 2025

                    That segment was hilarious, Truth broke Brock multiple times throughout the segment. By the end of the segment, Brock completely forgot he was supposed to be the Beast, he forgot he was a heel and just started having fun and showing off his blue underwear. I thought boombox Brock couldn't be topped, but Ripped Pants Brock topped it.

                      That's the bittersweet part about him being pulled during the whole lawsuit stuff.

                      You needed to take him away from it all and not bring him back at all for what he did or didn't do or probably did do, but this was also Brock at one of the most entertaining parts of his career.

                      I prefer the "viking" Brock we saw in 2022-23 more than any other version of him. The most surprising part about him is that he didn't ever really need Heyman to talk for him (he just wanted Heyman to talk for him since he didn't want to), Lesnar on the mic could actually be entertaining.

                        Raw is at 7pm ET tonight (and the next 2 weeks).

                        Will be interesting to see if they decide to keep it that way once they compare the 7pm shows to their regular ones.

                          Hugger Bayley is... back? She went around hugging everyone in the arena after saving Lyra. So would the world be healed if she gets her old theme back and we see the Bayley Buddies again? Maybe NXT Homecoming we see the full on Hugger Gimmick return tomorrow?

                            Rollins: I'd never hit a woman, but thankfully I know someone who will.

                            Becky:...............Who, ME?

                            *Becky walks out of the ring*

                            Punk just sitting back and enjoying being a proud husband is fun to watch. You know nobody is enjoying seeing AJ return more than he is.

                            Based on all the videos from her, I think they're going for the split personality gimmick.

                            The "angel" is hugger Bayley.

                            The "devil" is "ding dong" Bayley

                            She even teased it during Raw. She did come out to help Lyra, but then started briefly struggling with her thoughts and then went from possibly borderline psychotic to 100% hugger.

                            Maybe it could be like Wyatt/Fiend where the "hurt" is the ding dong stuff and "heal" is hugger?

                              Another week another inconsistent ad break.

                              I don't think I've had my feed skip a break once the entire time I've been watching despite the fact I'm not watching the show live. I've actually been able to watch all the break content for once.

                              And during the breaks, they never had the "back in ___" countdown which I've seen for every single break in any show since January.

                                If you had Corey Graves taking a bump in the year 2025 on your bingo card, congrats you won. I get what they are trying to do and make Brock out to be this scary dude picking on innocent commentators and all but it simply doesn't work if the guy who Brock is facing isn't there to make the save. They already had Cena's final Smackdown appearance, so we know Cena isn't showing up so he can make the save. It's also kind of odd that Smackdown is in Ohio tonight even though they are in Indianapolis tomorrow night for Wrestlepalooza.
