God bless him. Hunter is making WWE 2K22 a little less outdated each week.

Tonight, it got a little less outdated once again. Good to see Tegan Knox back, hopefully her knees will hold up and her run on the main roster goes well. That would have been a nice call back for the War Games.

Meh, she's being used to elevate other women and that makes sense. Look how she helped elevate and legitimize Bianca early in her run.

Makes sense in theory, yes. In practice? Nah

Damage CTRL has been a drag on everyone involved.

This. That whole faction had made me dislike everyone in it as well as everyone they’ve faced. The whole thing is just extra cheesy. Which is an area Bayley can operate in and make work. But the rest of them just look so stupid. They all remind me of the Bella’s doing the loser “L” on the forehead. It’s so cringe I can’t watch it.

The real reason we don't have any news on the next version of the WWE games, they're just hiring back people to make 2K22 feel like a new game.

RAW Preview:

- Matt Riddle & Elias take on The Usos for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships.

- JBL will host a Invitational Poker Tournament

- Two Women's Triple Threat Matches have been announced to determine Bianca Belair's next opponent. The first Triple Threat match sees Asuka, Bayley and Rhea Ripley face off; Becky Lynch, Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss in the second triple threat match.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

I was meh with this week's RAW. Lots of wrassling though which is good and needed for a 3 hour show. Undisputed Tag Team Title match was a good opener with the Usos vs Riddle/Owens. Riddle getting destroyed here by Sikoa was probably the best highlight. Then we got the first women's triple threat match and it was a good one. As much as we want to see Rhea in the Title scene, I'm assuming its not the time so it made sense for Bayley to win here.

I appreciate the WWE trying to make the US Title very prestigious. They have all these superstars chasing after it (Rollins, Lashley, Ziggler and Ali). But this show needs a World Title program. Its one of the reasons why I am not too eager to watch the shows now. Is Rollins a heel again? What is going on here? Theory/Ali was a good match though. I didnt care much for the middle portion of the show. Kinda had it running in the background while I did other stuff. But nice to see Akira Tozawa wearing his original ring gear. The women continue to main event RAW. The other triple threat match was okay but you can tell the crowd was dead during it. They all tried their best and I understand the finish as it helped protect Becky (who was looking cheeky out there). Bliss wins the match and will now face Bayley next week. I'm smell Bliss winning. I honestly miss having a World Title program that ends the shows.

- Obviously when they unified the titles at Wrestlemania, nobody saw Triple H taking over 3-4 months later but Vince really handcuffed Triple H creatively. The idea of Roman vs Rock being for the titles guarantees Roman is the Champion beyond Wrestlemania and heading into the Summer of 2023. I feel like you could take the WWE Championship off Roman since he hasn't held it as long as the Universal Championship in the same fashion Omega dropped the Impact World Title before losing the AEW World Championship to Hangman. It's just really complicated booking, same for the Usos and splitting up the tag titles.

- I'd like to see Rhea win the Women's Royal Rumble and be the one to beat Bianca at Wrestlemania. No need for Charlotte, Becky or any established woman to win the Rumble this year. Just have the winner of the Women's Elimination Chamber face Ronda instead.

- As for Alexa, I know they are teasing a reunion with Bray but I'd much rather Alexa just go back to being a full on heel without Bray and the Fiendish stuff. Hopefully Alexa does win, assuming help from Becky because we don't need to see another Bayley & Bianca match.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Becky vs Bayley without even needing a title involved would be cool.

You could have a women's title feud AND secondary non title feud going at the same time on the same show!

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

John Cena has been confirmed to be appearing on the final SD of 2022.

Who knows what the plans are, maybe he also declares for the rumble? Slowly setting up a feud with Theory, Gunther, someone else?

Theory? Gunther? Balor? Rollins? Anyone actually interesting? Nope.... Logan Paul. Logan said he wants to face Cena at Wrestlemania. Since WWE gave him the match with Roman, they will probably give Logan an undeserving match with Cena when Cena has better opponents available.

Still doing the anti-Logan Paul thing after he’s delivered in all three of his matches? It’s okay to acknowledge it.

I could buy these Lacy Evans promos a lot more of she wasn’t layered in makeup. She looks like an idiot.

Pearce: You don't really think that's (contract signing turning into a brawl) gonna happen do you? Every single time?

Woods: Have you ever watched wrestling?

Pearce: Good point.

Gunther: We are professional wrestlers. We're not performers.

Woods: Did Imperium just say they can't....perform?
