September 26th, 2023: WWE Signs Jade Cargill

September 26th, 2025: Jade Cargill Wins her first WWE Women's World Championship?

I know it's rare dates line up like this, usually it takes years for that to happen but Jade pinning Nia instead of Tiffany to do a rematch with Tiffany later could be the finish of the match.

Raws viewership on Netflix last week stayed the same from the previous week, meaning the 8pm and 7pm timeslot didn't matter at all to the amount of viewers they got, and NFL doesn't impact it either.

At this point I think that's what WWE is. It's a steady viewership for the most part, you're not gaining new eyeballs but not losing any either.

The day of the week, time of the day, quality of the show and so on, it doesn't seem to make a difference.

By all means though let's keep pissing off your steady viewership in order to court "new eyeballs."

Well that was a botched finish... Tiffany retained but crazy ending there. I'm guessing Jade being busted open caused some things to change and that potentially threw the original finish off perhaps. Tiffany seemed late to break up the pin so Nia had to kick out, then the ref just stops counting, similar to what happened with Damian Priest at Money In The Bank. Then Tiffany wins anyway like 10 seconds later lol. Anyway...... if that's not a sign that the Smackdown Women's Championship needs to stop revolving around these three, I don't know what is. We need a Draft after Crown Jewel cause Tiffany needs new opponents bad.

Dates really don't mean as much to WWE as it does to fans. At most its just a footnote.

Biggest one ever to me was Edge competing for the title in the main event of Wrestlemania 10 years to the day he announced his retirement. Don't think that fact was ever mentioned during that entire build, and he obviously didn't win (but that was the first of only a few times during Reigns time as champ that I believed he'd lose it)

By all means though let's keep pissing off your steady viewership in order to court "new eyeballs."

To be fair, I think wwe has proven that fans are more likely to complain but keep watching than complain and stop watching.

Man, Tiffany being a half-second late on the breakup really ****ed the ending of that match.

Jade got it bad last night. Just saw a photo of her gash by her eyebrow.... it's worse than we thought.

Dom getting the babyface reaction for winning is so fun to watch. I hate how the refs have smartened up, like Eddie Guererro would have never gotten away with things if these "Smart Refs" of today were around back then. Finn & Roxanne as the heels with Dom & Liv as the baby faces needs to be the play here when she comes back.

[UFCMPunk]

Poor Kairi............ man when they turn Kairi face and she turns on Asuka it's going to get such a huge reaction.

Rhea/Iyo vs Kabuki Warriors official for Crown Jewel after Iyo talked to Pearce. Also... how much mist is Asuka putting in her mouth that it covers the whole body lol. First Rhea last week, now Iyo this week.

To be fair, the ref actually did see him toss the title to Rusev.

My 2 fave "Lie, cheat, steal" moments is when Eddie got caught (I forgot who it was against,but Eddie did the move and started taunting his opponent when the ref wasn't looking, then went down when the ref turned around, but Eddie was taunting too long one time and the ref turned around and caught him)

The other best one was New Day and Pretty Deadly on NXT. One guy does it, then Woods pulls the reverse Uno and passes it back to Pretty Deadly, then they also pretend to get knocked down and pass it to Kofi who is the lone man standing, so Kofi just tosses the title away and falls down too, then the ref realizes everyone's down and is just like "Nice try, everyone up!" and everyone gets up.

If we're getting another Bloodline wargames team, I wonder if we really do see a throwback to the 9 man WCW wargames match.

Rollins & The Brons

VS

Roman, Jimmy, Jey

VS

CM Punk, LA Knight and 1 more person?

[Majingir]

Looks like that 7pm experiment is over for Raw.

Any future Raw date scheduled to be at 7pm got changed back to the usual 8pm time.

The ratings didn't seem to change at all so maybe they didn't feel that was enough reason to go to 7pm?

Why the **** can't these morons pronounce Vaquer properly?

Both Cole and Tiffany called her Va-kurr. Of course queen dumb**** Nikki Bella with her infamous Va-quay?

Idiots.

I think they're just very white. 😄 Cole trying to say La Primera is kinda lame too. If he can't roll the r, alright not everyone can, but he doesn't get the i sound right either. it's "ee", not "eh".

I can't explain Nikki. I think she was trying to be fancy and just messed it up.

I can kind of gloss over the Primera but man, the name it's hard to get over lol.
