Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Still love the heat Dom gets, hopefully I get to experience and be part of that live one day myself.

While I'm glad they didn't do a title swap for the women it's REALLY DUMB that the champions aren't on their respective shows no matter what anyone says to me that'll never make sense. I would have rather them do the title swap if I knew this was the case.

Maybe I'm just thinking too deep on something that really isn't that deep but it doesn't make sense to me. And maybe they have plans down the road considering the interaction Rhea and Bianca had the Raw after Mania.

Finn Balor watching JD McDonagh leave. Future new member of Judgement Day?

Samantha Irvin is doing all her announcing sitting down. That's even more impressive given how greatly of a job she does.

Woods: I don't have anyone to watch my back...for now.

Kofi obviously will be back, but I wonder if Big E is even able to come back yet or not.

I'm surprised Big E never just became a commentator while he was out (and physically able to travel). He's one of those guys I think could definitely extend his career in the business by becoming a commentator when his in ring career is done.

It will never not be awkward when someone does an entrance, then they turn the lights down and start playing a random video because they went to commercial. It just looks weird with the superstar in the ring waiting for commercials to end.

Wow. Imperium was all over RAW this week. Thats one thing that stood out for me. Thats something that wouldn't happen on Smackdown for them as thats a 2 hour show. But 3 hours for RAW means lots of ample time for them. What I learned from this week's RAW was the focus on tag teams and stables. Kevin Owens and Sami kicked off the show with a solid promo to discuss about defending their Tag Team Titles against Roman and Sikoa. Mustafa Ali wins a Battle Royal to become the next challenger for Gunther's IC Title. Of course Ali would win since Night of Champions is in Saudi Arabia.

We got nice promos from Becky Lynch and Cody Rhodes to expand their respective feuds. Nothing bad to say about them. But Cody using big words can get the little kids confused at times. I actually cared about the Women's Tag Team stuff this time too. Poor Racquel getting destroyed by Ronda and Bazler. And I'm shocked at the main event result. Is this going to mean Judgment Day will be added to the Tag Team Title match? Or can they just split the Titles and have them win the RAW Titles? Is Jinder going to play the role of MVP for Indus Sher? Xavier Woods/Dominik was an okay match but poor Xavier feels lonely without his buddies. Lastly, all The Miz does is job to his opponents. I guess Shinsuke needed it more.

The first time I went to Raw I was so shocked when I saw what actually happens during a commercial break

I would 1000% rather go to a WWE house show than Raw or Smackdown in 2023. The fun/excitement of potentially being on TV ain't what it was back in the day, and the crowds come off that way. The energy isn't really there. Wrestling for TV vs wrestling for a live audience is night and day. Wrestling for a live audience is the entire point of pro wrestling, and getting away from that is why it's so easy for guys like Cornette to pick everything apart.

Zayn,Owens and "mystery partner" vs Imperium next week


I'm 99.9% sure it's Mustafa Ali. Not sure why they had to make it a mystery when it's obvious. Hopefully they reveal it early into Raw so we get a backstage segment with Owens and "Positive-Ali"

Even the PLEs have gotten these random stops during the show for them to show a video package for a superstar or something else. You would think that PLEs would be more like house shows where everything is run together with limited stoppage. I get TV, I understand RAW & SD but pausing the action during a PLE to show a video package for a superstar or some random video?

Also Dakota Kai is injured as well. So the match to determine the new champions will be on the May 29th edition of RAW. A Fatal 4 Way match between Ronda/Shayna, Bayley/Io Sky, Chelsea Green/Sonya Deville and Raquel Rodriguez and a new partner of her choosing.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Give it to Green/Deville

Then they can feud with Chance/Carter, Candice/Indi, Alba/Isla
