Seems to be floating around online that Netflix Raw will be 2 hours without ads.

Interesting. Netflix proabably have no reason to make it three hours, it would only cater to the ad-supported plans.

Meltzer has apparently confirmed it will be 3 hours on Netflix but he's spotty at best nowadays with WWE.

Judgement Day vs New Day for the tag titles next week, Priest costing them the titles ?

Hoping Kofi turns on Xavier just to freshen them both up.

Necro

I just want more of Bronson Reed smashing people into oblivion. At this stage I think he deserves at least a PLE match, hopefully Seth is the guy to come back and give him that.

Not sure about Jey going for IC strap alright, but I have a feeling his meddling in Judgement Day business may cost him there.

Drew calling out Wade seems a misstep tbh. It doesn't really make much sense unless they're planning on Wade returning to the ring? That being said I don't really know what they do with Drew post Punk so are they potentially giving him someone to blame which eventually leads to Wade getting back in the ring when McAfee returns in January?

On Finn/Priest… it has to happen but could they at least give Finn a win before the match rather than a deliberate DQ on Rey? Don't really know why they couldn't have had him win sneakily and then still do the post match beatdown. Predictably now we'll probably have Priest cost Finn and JD the tag titles next week as well…

Is that their first tag titles defence?

I liked the adjustments to Finn's presentation this week.

The make up of the current group still needs a tweak. The group could do with a protector type person. Otherwise they are going to end up like LWO where everyone generally gets the best of the group.

Yea you would worry after their feuds with Rhea/Priest end where do they go from there

Furious-Red

Lyra got engaged to LJ Cleary

The Moist Buddha

The Twishteen of Fate was nearly Jerichos finishing move in the early 00's

I'm a sucker for matches like Brosnon vs Braun. Really great selling of them as monsters that can't be contained. If it wasn't for the HIAC match coming up with Drew and Punk, I'd have thought it might be a decent option for them, in a "We have to try and contain them for a bit" match.

30 seconds in they burst through the cage and then continue to destroy the place....

I enjoyed how they set it out and had something happen that could easily have been the end, then it just kept going. Then the transition to Adam Pierce just going grand, keep me updated on them, who has just reached the point of accepting the carry was a good moment.

It was a good RAW overall. Lots of things furthered and little things included that made things better. Woods losing it and Miz maybe getting a change in focus could be interesting for both (unless it's Kofi that turns within New Day as Woods is actually correct).

Judgement Day were made look good as a unit. The finish to the tag match was well done with JD putting Woods in a hold for Finn to hit his finisher and JD, as part of it, taking a hit (as he does so often) for the team. Finn all over the show was great and he seems to have taken on a lot of the screen time Rollins would normally get.

Assume we will get Team Judgement Day (maybe with Bronn) v Team Priest in War Games?

DM_7

One negative, the longest the Wyatt Sicks go on the less relevant they are. American Made had a vid and it was amazing - no idea what it was but it was gas. Wyatt's vid was just more of the same.

Officer999

I would love to see a heel Woods.

CastorTroy

Ah the things Wade has to do for his job…

I know he falls back to relieve some of the weight, but how can the Coup de Grace not hurt? Like he doesn't always hit it in the same spot either.

Was trying to think with both Judgment Day or Bloodline feuds being possible HiaC matches, who could the women be?

Speaking of the women, is Kacey or Katana injured that Lyra dumped them for Zelina and Natalya?

PTH2009

Yeah love a bit of monster battles, surely Bronson Reed will be fined a **** ton of $$$ for attacking a fan but ya know it's wrestling

The new guy on Commentary is growing on me

As a side note some 'strong names' like Braun, Bron and Bronson on Raw. Triple H must have a bit of a horn for that sort of thing

PTH2009

Is this Jeys first Singles title ?

Happy for Jey, but was looking forward to a decent run for Bron.

The Last Monster Standing match has to main event next week.

Mitch Connor

great to see a title change hands on Raw. Maybe it happens more than I think, but it feels like a championship defence on a standard show is a certain win (or DQ) for the holder

PTH2009

Saying the return of the Viking Raiders is the mystery vignettes not the Lucha Bros

Necro

Iyo Sky is a phenomenal talent that desperately needs a midcard women's title imo. Monster Last Standing is just going to be good... Erm... Wholesome 😁 fun. It definitely needs to main event as it's a great TV only feud. Wonder what the pay off with Dragunov and Judgement Day is going to be. He was another who would be a fit for their new enforcer.

Delighted for Jey he's mega over and it's been coming. That title switch gives me a slim hope for Sami getting the big one over Gunther down the line. He can lose it back a couple weeks/next PLE later just give him the main strap for a little bit the crowd are begging for it. Wouldn't harm Gunther that much either as Sami has already beaten him. Loads of shows till Mania so it's not out of the realms of impossibility.

Aye the one glaring issue with HHHs creative reign for me has been predictable enough title switches, SummerSlam was fairly easy to telegraph as another changing of the guard or so to speak. The odd change back and forth on Raw alleviates that a bit imo, especially with mid card belts like IC and US. Not everyone needs monster length runs ala Gunther and Roman.

JP Liz V1

I didn't think Jey would win the title, feels soon for Bron to lose it, thought perhaps down the line at a ppv but tbf Jey did deserve a singles title reign, the Yeet era has begun

DM_7

Is Breaker already above needing the IC title?

I could buy him as World Champ contender at this stage. Having him without the title means he can go against one of the big stars like Punk or Rollins without the IC title causing any booking issues. He could even challenge Rhodes for his title at an upcoming PLE that way Orton was able to challenge Gunther.

Necro

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122651351#Comment_122651351

I think so yeah he's got the aura of a champ in waiting and wouldn't look out of place. I dunno how they'll play the loss now though they've already done the arrogant upstart thingy with Sami so doing it again so soon with Jey wouldn't really make much sense.

Sami winning the title from Gunther could open a door for him too... Just sayin😂 (it's prob not gonna happen but by God does Zayn deserve a run with the world title).

I'd love to see Sami as world champ
