WWE Raw Superthread

I'm enjoying Drew and Punk despite both injured

Dom now Dirty Sanchez 😆

With DIY and Candice and Indi gone to SD, I was wondering if Dexter Lumis is still in WWE?

Patrick Mahomes

I had no idea who the side kick of Logan Paul was then I googled him only to find out he is a racist and misogynist so no real surprise there then that he is a prodigy of the Paul brothers.

Did Andrade get drafted? Suppose makes sense if Charlotte is staying on smackdown

PTH2009

I'm guessing the draft won't come into effect til next week's Raw ?

The show in Lyon this weekend will hardly be the start

Patrick Mahomes

5 Irish wrestlers now on the WWE flagship show that is pretty amazing really.

Heres hoping Dijak fares better 2nd time round on the RAW roster

ThePott

Much stronger Draft. Delighted for Lyra.

Punk/Drew had some great segments.

Getting Patrick Mahomes (not the one who posts here 🤣) is such a flex and having him be heel in KC was so odd. JD getting battered was gas, even though I'm sure it was make-up.

IC picture is shaping up nicely. Glad they've split up LWO and LDF and Damage Control on Mondays along with the recent draftees mean the women's division looks seriously promising on Monday.

Going by the reactions, it seems the NXT ones weren't told in advance. Lyra and Blair seemed genuinely shocked.

Was that Dom and Liv coming out separately from the same room during Jey's interview after the Gunther match?

So Logan Paul just brings random friends now? Appearing on the show with him and causing distractions is one thing, but having one reading out the draft picks? What kind of contract did he sign? then seems they have to up the Prime advertising on any episode he's on, going by the stuff beside commentary.

Logan Paul is now longest reigning champion in WWE currently

That's a horrific stat. I just want to see his face squished into the mat so much. His heel persona is working well 😂

2024 WWE King of the Ring first round matches for Raw:

- Drew McIntyre vs. Finn Balor

- Kofi Kingston vs. Rey Mysterio

- Ricochet vs. Ilja Dragunov

- GUNTHER vs. Sheamus

Ridley

Seems like Gunther's the shoe-in, but a Dragon King would have more mileage.

Wish the King and Queen of Cheese PPV had the semi-finals as well at least. Apart from the name of the show, having to beat multiple opponents one on one in the same night distinguishes the KotR from just another tournament, especially when tournaments are a regular occurrence now. *cough*WWE Bus That Couldn't Slow Down*cough*

I thought drew was hurt?

He is but he’s working through his injury. Reports of him taking time off were wrong.

Patrick Mahomes

Story’s were correct Drew pulled from the King of the Ring and will be out for the foreseeable future

Agent Coulson

Yeah no way WWE were taking the chance with Drew, It would be a disaster for them and horrible for him if he missed out on the event in Scotland next month.

JP Liz V1

Imagine if Punk's takes Drew spot for KOTR, is Punk ring cleared?

I assume Summerslam is the plan for Drew vs. Punk depending on injury, what injury has Drew exactly?

J. Marston

Dom doing the dirt on Rhea.

Sami/Bronson/Gable will be a banger for the IC title. Thought Bron might get added as well when they left him off KOTR. Maybe he's being saved for Priests next opponent. Liv and Becky, meh it's been done before. Feel Liv needs the win more than Becky though at this point but can't see it in Saudi land.

It's a shame Gunther/Ilja will likely meet in the semis on Raw because it would be a brilliant match to announce Dragunov as a contender on a PLE. Interested to see who will be the Smackdown entrants will be.

JP Liz V1

I thought good Raw "debuts" for Ilja and Lyra and Gunther vs. Sheamus never disappoints

Necro

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122110122#Comment_122110122

Yeah Ilja stood out but then again he had Ricochet as a dance partner so that was always likely. Lyra needs to come up with a proper finisher that's my only negative on her debut.

I wonder will any of these Raw matches get 5 stars from Dave M

Necro

Dunno. Don't personally think there were any tbh. Both Ilja/Ricochet and Sheamus/Gunther were bangers but in the latter's case I preferred their Clash at the Castle.

JP Liz V1

What did Dave give star wise to the three way at CATC last year?

All 5 Irish stars featuring on RAW, a great time for the Irish in WWE

Loughc

No chance. Not 5 star matches by any standard. 3.5/4 range.

JP Liz V1

Zelina Vega has been pulled from the Queen of the Ring tournament due to injury and Maxxine Dupri will replace Vega in a first round match against Shayna Baszler

JP Liz V1

Drew on fire on the mic, clearly enjoying this run but Damien Priest talked facts to him, one of Damien's better mic work

JP Liz V1

A good win and crowd reaction for Lyra
