WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

"Dominik, I'm sure you've heard this before, but it just wasn't deep enough."

Netflix Raw is gonna start or end with a death at this point.

Punk says as long as he has air in his lungs he will make sure Drew doesn't become a world champ.

Rhea said Liv will have to kill her to make her no longer come after Liv/Dom.

Next week on Raw, "New Day and Odyssey Jones vs the Final "Testicle"". I wonder if this is all leading to Woods getting Big E back, Woods turning on Kofi, or something else?

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Miz: Isn't that the guy who killed Rollins?

Orton: Didn't he kill Rollins last week?

It is now kayfabe that Bronson Reed killed Seth Rollins last week.

Also... Mark Henry and his son Jacob were shown on TV!

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Don't Alba/Isla learn? If you attack both sides of a #1 contenders match they BOTH become #1 contenders!

Speaking of which, the Pure Fusion Collective? What kind of name is that? The only thing less interesting are 2/3 of that group.

USA and WHAT chants during that Gunther-Orton segment....fans are stupid.

Cathy went to journalism didn't she?

"Punk, it was reported you experienced flight delays and weren't going to be on Raw, but we were on the same flight and I experienced no delay."

"You're right, we were on the same flight....I sat next to you.'

Miz: Isn't that the guy who killed Rollins?

Orton: Didn't he kill Rollins last week?

Truth is 1 step closer to thinking Bron, Braun and Bronson are all the same guy

Bronson is the real life version of a certain Goofy meme.

And more Tiffany/Pretty Deadly segments.

And just like that SD kicks off with Tiffany and Pretty Deadly!

I want Tiffany to hold the briefcase for a while (we need a long run for a MS.MITB) but seems like they're teasing her cashing in on Nia.


Now we get a Roxanne Perez cameo!

These two could just wrestle against each other forever and I'd be okay with that.

RIP Afa Anoa'i

The Wild Samoans legacy lives on with all their family members working in the industry, today.

Tiffany should be the first Women's Wrestlemania Cash In. I'm selfish since I'm going to Mania lol but we haven't had that yet. I know I'm not the only one who sees Charlotte returning and being put back into the title picture against Nia.


Keith Lee is a very lucky man... Mia is looking good tonight.

More like Tiffany cashes in MITB and then Charlotte feuds with her.

But if they want to put attention of the tag division for once, give Charlotte a protege. A younger talent who would benefit from just being associated with her since we know it's hard for newer talent to get over.

I know Nia said the whole celebration to kick off SD wasn't "her style", but I think it could be good for her if she becomes less one dimensional "I like destruction" and embraces a more comedic side and starts playing off Tiffany more.

That was one hell of an indy-rific match, damn. Props to all 4 of those men.

The two biggest storylines in WWE are over a friendship bracelet and a traditional Samoan necklace.

I was hoping it would have grown on me after a few entrances but I can’t get into Reigns’ new theme

That was a black and gold NXT Takeover level tag match.

Street Profits have done everything they can do as a tag team and I don't want to see them split, but I also want to see Montez breakout as a singles star, he has main event star written all over him.

I know people joked about the old "Edge vs Booker fighting over a Shampoo commercial", but little things like that gives feuds way more meaning.

Punk vs McIntyre and Reigns vs Solo on one hand (no pun intended) does revolve around a small materialistic item, but it's obviously what it symbolizes which is the big story, and that's what good storytelling does.

That was awesome!

(I knew Jacob's leg injury was a work. [emoji38])

I agree it's not as good, but what can we do. They probably changed it to go with more of a 'good guy' feel to it and less evil 'final boss' vibe of the old version. [emoji22]

Agree, it's all about the symbolism but I still had to make that joke/observation.

Wrestling feuds need to be about more than 'I'm better than you' sometimes and that's what these two feuds represent.

The fact they keep doing the Shield Triple Powerbomb is not a coincidence. I know Seth is out again thanks to Bronson squashing him like a bug but I still think Seth will likely join in against Solo's Bloodline.

Really surprised they didn't have a face off moment between Jacob & Roman before Jacob attacked Roman. If they don't do Rock/Roman at Mania, Jacob vs Roman would be a very nice alternative and that's if Rock faces Cody.

There was nothing wrong with his old theme, but I love the new one too.

The old one was "bad guy head of the table" type vibes, the new one is "epic final boss battle" music.

I was more surprised they had Reigns put back on the Ula Fala. That moment felt like one you tease but don't actually go through with until the day he actually reclaims it. Though I wonder if he just did it for the significance of doing it today of all days.

Rollins joining back in on this story would be interesting. The Rollins/Reigns relationship is as complex as it gets. They're brothers who also will never forget the whole way the Shield originally ended so there will always be bad blood mixed with "brotherhood".
