RAW Superthread

The suspension also works in her favour, I’m guessing it’s so she can promote her UFC Hall of Fame induction in early July. The less we see of her for know, the better. She’s a special attraction and as great as she is already, overexposure would only hamper her at this stage.

Good jasus such scutter. Ziggler is a jabroni.

martyos121

Yeah that made no sense. Haven’t got a clue what direction they’re going in with this. Hopefully it means Rollins moves straight into the main event scene, but I’m fearful he’ll be stuck in a feud with Ziggler for the rest of the summer.

I’m hoping Rollins gets added to the multi man match at Extreme Rules and wins. But in reality it’ll be Roman’s match to lose.

Some very decent stuff but the same problem remains for me: roster is too stacked and for all the interesting things they do there isn't enough room to give proper follow through.

I mean for example what would make Dolph winning the IC interesting is if they had Drew push for the Universal title. Logically it would make sense given their promos about taking over. But it won't happen.

Lord TSC

I'd imagine the "Drew problem" will be solved by a returning Ambrose.

Ronda being suspended for 30 days is infuriating. Hey made a big deal over how she was a full time superstar, but this is exactly how they offload Brock as well. I get the arguement that less is more, but she was a breath of fresh air in the division. And now she's gone, and we get another month of Bliss vs Jax, with Bliss vs Ronda already set up as well.

I do love The B Team.

Also he look of horror and fear on Bobby's face when he flunked his line and said Roman Reigns can't beat roman Reigns was hilarious. "Well, there goes my push...."

SlickRic

i hate Reigns.
i hate Lashley.
i hate Kurt.
i hate unbelievable, phony verbiage.
i hate Brock never being there.
i hate that Braun is becoming more ordinary by the week.

i like some of the wrestling.
i like Ronda. a fúcking star.
i like Alexa's ass.

stop with the 'side on, everybody has to be in perfect shot' way of filming promos and confrontations. nobody stands like that. nobody talks like that. nobody stands there, getting insulted, with no reaction. punch the other guy in the mouth. interrupt them. even walk around a little!

i'm a promo guy. i enjoy feuds. i enjoy there being a valid reason why 2 people want to fight. i'm simple like that. but WWE's over-production kills it on a weekly basis. i just hope every week that there might be some good fúcking wrestling.

on a side note, Ziggler winning the IC title. for the love of Christ. we're all loving Rollins. he's the best thing on the show. just have him keep winning FFS. why are you having him lose now? Oh yeah, you have to tell a fúcking story, don't you? involving Dolph fúcking Ziggler.

Jesus wept.

HandsomeBob

Didn't Ronda have domestic stuff going on with her husband before? Weird that she was beating the sh1t out of Kurt, a non competitor, for no particular reason.

I can see Steph pitching that without a hint of irony.

J. Marston

Thought the opening with Ronda, Bliss and Kurt was great. Not a fan of Bliss being champion but it could lead to a good feud with Ronda and a satisfying conclusion of Bliss getting her ass kicked.

Saw the B Team skit on Reddit. Thought Bo was very funny.

Did they ever explain Ziggler's last intercontinental reign where he relinquished the title the night after winning it? How stupid to put it back on him. Give it to Drew if anyone.

Will say this much, after Alexa's sneering, bitchy promo, I really wanna see Ronda kick her 7 shades of blue..

That thing Alexa can do where she can bend her arm back....that's going to make Ronda's armbar look unreal....

It's cool no way will they let Ronda be kept down, beaten and humiliated by Bliss for long......that **** is for the Bayleys, Sashas, Beckys etc..... .

Why watch if it's causing you this much frustration? Genuine question

Had totally forgotten Alexa was *double jointed when she last did that thing with her arm..

*Least that's what I think the term is called

Because I'm an idiot and an addict.

And most of it takes me 5 minutes to trawl through in the hope that there's something decent or some decent wrestling.

Ronda and Alexa's stuff was worth the trawl this week.

If I had to sit down for 2 or 3 hours, there's no way I'd still be in touch with it. God bless YouTube.

Lithium93_

Aye YouTube highlights > 3 hours

WWE...

Rock Lesnar

I just watched some "highlights" there and man, Ronda is great, she looks a badass and more importantly shes a believable badass, bit like Austin back in the day.

I like Ziggler but his time has come and gone, they've ruined him so many times now, that hes now stuck in a 2018 version of Diesel and Shawn, and its only a matter of when, Drew turns and takes the Gold, no way should he have beaten Rollins.

Braun seems to be still Braun, except he finally won a big match on ppv, Reigns is still Reigns and Lashley is still the crowd atmosphere destroyer.

Lesnar vs Strowman again.

Thatll be great.......

Get these hands is already annoying me. Monster in the Bank over the next few months will also get very tedious.

Wait until they attach a catchphrase to Ronda and ruin her too.

CastorTroy

So they're finally pulling the trigger on Bayley and Sasha.

And what was on Sarah Logan's face? A tattoo?

Bo looked exactly like Bray.

Gotta market.
Gotta brand.

They're all just marketing vehicles to sell merchandise. Another reason why so few are fúcking believable as human beings.

Mr. Guappa

Ronda is great. I don't mind the suspension either. It'll be her versus Alexa at Summerslam I presume.

Monster in the Bank is such a stupid moniker. Strowman with the briefcase is a different dynamic than what we usually see, although it has a short shelf life you would think.

Hopefully Rollins dropping the IC title is a move to free him up for a main event versus Lesnar at Summerslam. Probably not though.

Baron Corbin = Corporate Kane.

We need MNGs Raw championship to make Raw enjoyable again

Spot on about Kane and Corbin. Its a nice change for Corbin and I dont mind him in the new role.

I grant you that Braun with the case is different, but he doesnt need it. I would have preferred another guy win MITB.

Ziggler winningwas a shock but Id rather Drew or Elias win the title. I dont mind Rollins droppin it now in the hope he will be in a main event against Brock soon.

martyos121

I read that

Undertaker

is rumoured to be working Summerslam so that may be why Rollins dropped the title,

they might be grooming him for that match, and I’d love to see it. I think Seth is the perfect opponent for him, he could actually make it a decent match.
