Loved the Angle, Brock, Heyman, Joe segment.

But the only one that didn't look like they will die from a massive heart attack in the near future was Roman.

A lot of beetroot heads and faces in that ring blood pressure must have been off the scale.

Pinkman · 11-07-2017 10:45AM

What are they doing having Rollins lose to Bray two nights in a row? If thats the end of the feud then it makes no sense. Getting involved in Miz and Dean is a step too far into the mid card unless it leads to Dean turning heel on Seth.

Dixie Carter could be who Kurt was talking to given she was shown on a clip of the network doc. Either way it will lead to HHH vs Kurt at Summerslam I'd say.

That's a good call as RAW next week is in Nashville.

Either Kurt is gay all if a sudden, or Dixie is coming to Raw to be humiliated for months on end.

Parts I liked, parts I didn't

Loved that Joe wasn't cast aside and he seems to have taken full advantage of the opportunities given the last few weeks. Not thrilled he could be jobbed out to Reigns, but the fact they showed Brock was actually nervous round Joe, and the fact Braw/Reigns doesn't seem finished, there's a very good caphance we get a second Joe/Brock match, which would be amazing.

Ambrose and Miz can't get breaks from each other but at least Rollins getting involved helps a bit.

Finn seems to be having some story with Hardyz who were having a story with the Good Brothers...wonder if that means Finn and the Club could finally be a thing? Revival back is brilliant, I adore them, and that's the most blatant references to the Broken gimmick since they returned (Finn doing the Delete movement, Jeff saying they were obsolete, Matt saying they are a little broken). There's plenty to be intreepged about there, though they look very short of face teams on Raw right now.

Also...uh...Finn shows that there's a thin line between the Delete chant and a full Nazi salute. :P

Couldn't care less about the women's feuds right now.

Class is a grand talker, but as MAC said, he needs to work on his look desperately. He's tall, but he looks like he has a spare tire, and his gear doesn't help either. And I hate the bum fluff facial hair too. His look needs updating quickly.

And I'm super intrigued by the Angle stuff. "illegitimate Son" is a story I feel they should have tried running with someone for years, and if they give it to someone good, it could be amazing. But I've genuinely no idea what way things are going in that story which is amazing, and I can't wait to see what happens next week. I don't know if this Raw was great but it did a brilliant job building to next weeks.

I'm loving this whole mystery with Kurt Angle because nobody really has a notion of who it is and there's very few educated guesses so who knows what will happen, and also no leaks by Meltzer etc

Mysterious contact with someone on the other end of modern technology can only be horswaggle

Mr.Nice Guy · 11-07-2017 03:12PM

The highlight for me was the Reigns/Joe/Heyman/Lesnar segment. It seemed like these guys were encouraged to go off the cuff a bit and it worked out great. Lesnar is the best thing in wrestling and has been for a while. Never any bullsh*t around him, it's always serious.

I hope the plan isn't a triple threat match because I'm worn out with them right now. I would be less hostile to a four-way match as that's a bit different.

Not sure who Kurt was on the phone to but I suspect it involves Stephanie.

Dying to know who Kurt was on the phone to, they've built this up quite well and I'm really looking forward to being disappointed by it.

Bet it's an illegitimate son storyline and it turns out to be Chad Gable. Either that or he's doing Steph. :pac:

Good Raw anyway, it's been improving recently but I'd like to see Finn Balor given an actual feud, he has zero direction at the moment.

It's either an affair with Stephanie, or someone's got dirt on him "relapsing" for storylines sake, but I'd say it's the former..

Lithium93_ · 11-07-2017 06:01PM

Heyman & Angles faces respectively after Brock dropped his line last night.

hopefully its not a Stephanie angle as its not believeable and dont want too see an Angry Triple H attacking Angle. It worked years ago but would be a bit Meh now

Love if it was actually an affair with Dixie Carter (she actually signed with WWE behind closed doors)

Lord TSC · 11-07-2017 10:34PM

What would the end game of an affair with Dixie be? Most of the audience don't know Dixie, and there's no "cheated in spouse" character involved either. An affair story needs a third player involved, to either be the sympathetic baby face or the vengeful heel. I hate the idea of it being an affair wi Steph, cause we know every plot point (they won't separate Steph and HhH for long).

I really hope it's an illegitimate kid and they use it to give someone a massive boost. It would explain why Gable, for instance, has suddenly gone from not doing anything to getting a competitive match with Styles.

I think there going with one of trips kid being kurts and that's the reason he left.

I have no reason why that keeps coming into my head

PTH2009 · 11-07-2017 10:51PM

Not a fan of the illegitimate Kid storyline as it's too lifelike and we all knw it's not true and it will end with the kids actually not been Kurts kid or something

Would sorting it out privately( not in front of a packed crowd and millions of viewers) be best for this sort of situation ???

aaaaaaaahhhhhh · 11-07-2017 11:31PM

Seriously missing Jack Gallagher on the RAW cruiser-weight scene

Furious-Red · 12-07-2017 12:13AM

If it was Gable being his son it would mean another tag team splitting up which would be a pity since i cant see Jordan lasting on his own any time soon

PTH2009 · 12-07-2017 01:09AM

Wasant Chad Gable in the Olympics ???

If he is Angles son than this would deff be a real news worthy story

"Wrestling Olympic medallist finds out he is father too former Olympian"

WinnyThePoo · 12-07-2017 03:38AM

Chad gable is on smackdown. If it is a illegitimate son angle wouldn't it have to be a raw guy. I wonder how Corey fits into this?

SureYWouldntYa · 12-07-2017 09:17AM

I'm gonna guess it's Stephanie and her and Angle are having some sort of "affair", but Stephanie is only doing it to stay close to the person in charge of Raw and that will eventually lead to the Angle HHH match at Mania next year

The "Come to Raw" conversation would actually imply it was a non-Raw competitor imo, or at least someone not on the show regularly (Steph does fit that criteria at the moment).

I havent a breeze whats going on, but I am interested in the angle. Plenty of mystery opens the scope for a lot of possibilities.

I do worry they will drop the ball with this as they tend to do.

irish_stevo815 · 13-07-2017 11:08PM

Wild guess...it has something to do with Daniel Bryan not being able to compete in the ring leading to Angle vs Bryan

Lithium93_ · 17-07-2017 03:50PM

Another Monday, another RAW.

I'm actually intrigued by this one. Right, it's probably the Stephanie angle people think, which I hate (not only does it drag her back onto TV, it becomes a story about how everyone can profess their love of her). But for now, I'll clutch onto my blissful ignorance and hope it's the Gable story.

Plus #TopGuys are back, so thats a plus too :P

I'll go against the Stephanie angle, even though that's what I originally thought first, and go completely wild card and say

Dixie Carter

is going to be Kurt's reveal.

Also The Revival feuding with The Hardyz? Yes please..

gerrybbadd · 17-07-2017 06:51PM

Got an email of WWE saying there will be a Network exclusive interview with Kurt Angle after Raw.

Must be a pretty big reveal
