great ending segment and really gets you excited for what happens next. The Rock will bleed for real me thinks

Cody is Rocky and The Rock is Ivan Drago.

Is the more pg 13 content a precursor for what's to come once they move to Netflix? Without the shackles of network television they can essentially do what they want on that so are we seeing the beginning of a new attitude era?

Regardless, it's compelling viewing, something that WWE hasn't been for me for over 15 years and I'm fully invested in multiple Mania matches.

Segment involving CM Punk, Seth Rollins & Drew McIntyre from last nights #WWERAW had the peak viewership with 2,200,000 viewers.

The segment saw 500,000 extra viewers tune in from the previous segment(s)

nice little spike in viewers for CM Punk.

Loughc

don’t think it was mentioned but the reason why the raw stage looked as small this week as it did as they fitted more seats in as demand was so high.

Personally I thought the smaller stage looked better. Made the entrances stand out more.

I think I read it ran over, that segment, longer than intended, they must have been having too much fun on the mics

well worth every second of a run over it was too much fun. So entertaining.

Speaking of entertaining poor Ricochet and JD got completely overlooked despite having an hell of a match. JD’s sell of the destroyer was amazing and the finish was great.

I really hope in this post Vince world ricochet gets a proper push.

Despite their best efforts as well, Becky's getting booed at Mania over Rhea, crowd were massively pro Mami again.

J. Marston

I think they'll allow the crowd to dictate that match. If they boo Becky, they'll go from there and have Becky be a heel.

But I think Becky should win.

I thought knocking Dom out, got the crowd with Becky

Necro

Triple H has been tweeting about tonight.

Loughc

Another red hot Raw. The show started with the crowd chanting Rocky to ending the show with chants of Rocky Sucks in Brooklyn.

Like it or not this road to WM was vastly improved because of the Rock.

Massive takes away from Roman/Cody 2 tho.

We are in the endgame now.

Lord TSC

I wonder if this heel run will make Rock realize it's ok to play the villain sometimes. I love his movies in general, but he's been playing the same babyface in every movie he does, and it would be great to see him actually commit to being a villain for once.

Roadhouse sequel with McGregor perhaps

Did Cole say both tag titles will be hanging separately so two team winners? I just hope Truth remembers it is a ladder tag match 😁 Cody is the man he is so over even more now

Yes Cole specifically mentioned the match doesn't end until BOTH set of titles are retrieved, hopefully this means separate tag titles for each brand.

For once they actually have more than 2 tag teams on both brands.

ThePott

Yeah sounds like an easy way of breaking up the titles.

That beatdown at the end was awesome and the brief moment where Cody was on top was great, crowd went nuts. Can't believe in 2024 the Rock is bumping on Raw haha.

CastorTroy

So is the main event still going on since Solo or Rollins didn't get the pin.

Tegan teaming with the women that were beating her up not long ago. At least she's away from Nattie for now.

J. Marston

The shot of Rollins' entrance was brilliant. All the years of Kevin Dunn and his copy paste shíte when they could've been doing cool stuff like that.

Loved the entrance it was excellent. Between that and the all the way from the other side of the arena shot of Rocks entrance which was brilliant as well

JP Liz V1

I'd was shocked with Solo spoke, I don't know what I was expecting, I think the Haribo ad 🙈😊

Necro

Isn't it absolutely night and day. And it's so simple too instead of 50 million camera cuts.

Cotts72

Tonight's Raw could be one of the biggest in years! I wonder will we get a tribal twist with reigns ousted. With rumours of Jacob Fatu signed and in Philly along with tama Tonga in the wings they could setup a new bloodline with solo

The beginning of a new "era"

I think we're gonna get a new title belt tonight too

Cotts72

Yesh Cody is pushing for the winged title

First hour is commercial free too.

ThePott

A new title would be great, would feel like a true fresh start and also allow the Gold universal title being associated with Roman's reign.

Heard people suggest Rock kicking Roman out of the Bloodline and making his own Bloodline with Fatu and Tama Tonga, which I would love and would feel like a big deal, and give Roman a new story BUT the Rock would have to be around a bit more to make it work.

Lord TSC

I’m keeping expectations low for tonight. The last few Raw After Manias have been quite dull and underwhelming. I’d love them to go back to the debut and surprise fest tho.

PTH2009

Trips kicks off Raw in the new era

Not sure what shocks and suprises are in store. Brock returning maybe heel turn for Rollins or Orton, The breakup of Judgement Day
