"Sasha, you didn't win" "Asuka, you didn't win" Pretty sure that means Asuka is champion. The only ones who should dispute that are Sasha and Bayley. Like what was the point to Steph's appearance? now they're making it seem like the title is vacant.
I'm sure the no outside interference thing is only if they're caught even though everyone watching can see it happen, including Steph who seems to have a direct connection to the screen.

So Drew to completely punish Dolph, have a normal match or give Dolph an advantage?

I like how Charly says Zelina's name. Just so bitter

J. Marston

Sasha and Bayley are poison. Every bloody week for months and months and months.

It should be the two horsewomen because having those two "carry" shows make me realise how far ahead Charlotte and Becky are ahead of them.

The second I saw Stephanie in the thumbnail I didn't bother clicking so thanks for giving that summary of what was said. Indeed, it sounds like the usual nonsense from her.

They will prob go with Seth vs Dominik (to revenge his father) for summerslam, no way that feud is over

I can imagine Ziggler is done chasing the title and god knows what he will do

Drew vs Orton for the title is what im expecting

You're stone mad for Dominik to come in! He's not ready yet

ricero

Great raw.

Rollins is playing his role to perfection.

Loving heel Bayley pity theres no live crowd for her to interact with.

Orton is on fire. Best in the business at the moment. Drew vs Orton with the right build is pure gold.

Ratings will be down the toilet though.

This is the best slow build feud the WWE have put in place in years.

CastorTroy

So Ali the hacker isn't happening then? Maybe they'll pick it up later on when Sami stops using it on Impact.

As for Charly and Zelina

Meltzer saying the Orton quarter hour was a disaster rating. There's a conversation to be had about whether Orton has ever been an actual draw. As a whole the post ppv bump lost demo viewers and next week the MLB is back opposite Raw.

Agent Coulson

1.6 rating so a bit better than last week.

Total viewers slightly better (post ppv bump) but the demo down again which is more significant.

Orton and Big Show main eventing Raw in 2020? They can **** right off

J. Marston

Orton is still good and one of the very few full time people they have left who is a big name.

Big Show is a fúcking joke.

Hasn’t been interesting in literally 20 years

Agent Coulson

Orton vs Show the worst rated segment ever how long before Vince blames Brother Love and sacks him again.

Deeper Blue

Why is Orton even in the spot he's in at the moment?
Surely they could've put one of the younger guys in that spot and got them over?
How is having Orton as the main focus going to pull in viewers in 2020?

It's only a matter of time and Big Bad Bruce will be back moaning on his podcast and running every idea from the COVID-Era into the ground like he didn't have anything to do with it.

Bruce doesn't have a Russo style guy to blame now.

In fairness I don't blame them going with Orton this is the best and most interesting he's been in years. I imagine people are just done with WWE in general.

Oh he will find someone to blame all the while never uttering a negative word about a McMahon hoping to get his job back again.

Is Joe out injured or in ring retired?

Judging by the number of injuries he's racked up over the past couple of years I imagine they've quietly retired him.

CastorTroy

So Dominik to fight Buddy tonight?

I'm sure we'll get some talking from Team Zelina and MVP.

J. Marston

Bet they're gonna do some 3 belts Banks nonsense.

JP Liz V1

Is the Drew / Orton feud starting tonight?

Dolph rematch

LineOfBeauty

The main angle tonight is Dominik confronting Rollins, like how is nobody in a company this big telling Vince that it's a dumb idea? I get it, self preservation but God you wish someone in that company had the balls and pride in their work to make a stand.

And to make it worse all of this storyline is apparently all just to keep Rey happy to resign. So Vince is afraid of An aging Rey Mysterio Signing with AEW or someone else. Jesus.

I think it's as much about retaining Rey the brand as opposed to just Rey the wrestler.

Rey really is the star lucha and will be remembered for a very long time.
