So I wonder how many Digs at All In will there be on RAW tonight.

You'd think they'd be professional, get their own **** together and not throw petty digs at what was a pretty well put together show, especially it being the first ever one Cody & The Young Bucks put together/produced/wrestled, but this is WWE, so I'll say at least 5 petty digs.

SureYWouldntYa · 03-09-2018 09:57PM

Probably something simple like cutting out to an ad at the end of a promo or something along those lines since All In ended so abruptly

Other than that not much else they could subtlety, maybe say the next Raw has tickets for sale and will be better than action you'd see in Chicago

Agent Coulson · 03-09-2018 09:59PM

Kevin Owens is All Out.

Is one I’m going with.

SureYWouldntYa · 03-09-2018 10:06PM

It's funny how someone not being on Raw is probably the most interesting part of Raw, for me anyway

We've got the Bella twins coming back tonight to beat the Riott squad in a handicap match even though they haven't been regulars in a while now

More promos from HBK for a match we've seen so much of in HHH/Taker

A match for tag titles that don't matter anymore

It's the September slump

PTH2009 · 04-09-2018 01:02AM

Jayus Dolph looks really out of place and is so embarrassing doing the Braun shout

J. Marston · 04-09-2018 01:10AM

Ziggler in a main event program. Just awful.

PTH2009 · 04-09-2018 01:20AM

Why did the shield get arrested ???

There wrestlers it's there job to fight

Agent Coulson · 04-09-2018 01:20AM

Twin magic won't work with the work one of them has done.

Agent Coulson · 04-09-2018 02:58AM

Spud is the new AOP manager. Really Really Really

SlickRic · 04-09-2018 07:01AM

Braun is officially heel for anyone still wondering.

Morons.

Absolute fúcking morons.

I’ll settle for it if they continue to have them squash teams and make them become monsters again.

This looks like it was a junk Raw.

True. Not enough Big Dwag if you ask me.

Lord TSC · 04-09-2018 09:28AM

That was a ....weird Raw.

Maverick as the new AoP manager, which sounds fine, only he looked stupid in the tactical gear. (I don't watch 205 so I can't speak to the fact he's a face on that show and a heel here, apparently).

Roode and Gable as a team, fine, they need something to do. But their OTT acting actually made it feel like both were making fun of the pairing themselves.

Brawn turns heel, again, whatever. And then the entire roster seems to snap at Shield and destroys them. It actually feels that could have been an interesting story to build towards, examining the resentment of the entire roster, or have people annoyed the Shield attacks them, rather than just starting off with that aspect of things.

Pros.
I like B-Team but Ziggle/McIntyre will be more credible champs. Sorry for The Revival though who presumably become victims of the story directions changing.
Alicia Fox can take a mean judo throw.

sky88 · 04-09-2018 10:08AM

I havent seen the show yet but aop and drake pairing up out of nowhere just seems so strange. I think itll be a good idea in the end but so fricken random and judging by how he was talking on the e&c podcast id say he had no idea.

Why not build it up were hes been getting hit by faces by mistake on 205 live in brawls till he finally snapped and brought aop as protection and then you get some cross promotion for the cruisers too

RocketRaccoon · 04-09-2018 10:12AM

Can anyone link to a gif of the Bella messing up 2 suicide dives, it's amazing and ridiculous at the same time.

at the end of the day, you have to admire the tenacity of Vince to try and get the crowd to cheer Reigns.

he's more persistent than gonorrhea.

Loughc · 04-09-2018 11:14AM

Oh I take it Kevin Owens has changed his mind about quitting, so frustrating WWE threw away that storyline to try and put over Reigns yet again.

fúck me, it's tough to turn your brain off to the nonsense.

J. Marston · 04-09-2018 12:25PM

Read the recap and saw the botched suicide dives. Looked like a tragic Raw.

Balor ran out when Corbin called the locker rooms out and Kevin "quit last week" Owens did the same at the end. Why?

i assume you're looking for a more sophisticated answer than 'because they don't give a toss, and think the audience are morons"?

I saw he returned this morning on YouTube, I just rolled my eyes didn't bother looking at it for the thumbnail alone. Not even a week to sell it, I'm sure some people will try defend it but just don't bother.

J. Marston · 04-09-2018 02:08PM

WWE camera work drives me mad...

https://streamable.com/yg6ah

What is that at the point of impact? Like someone drunkenly recording on their phone.

ERG89 · 04-09-2018 02:29PM

I wonder will Brie have heat with Sasha and Lita for stealing their spot???

HandsomeBob · 04-09-2018 04:35PM

I for one am happy with the reign of the big dawg because surely this is it. As in this is it Vince, you've been fannying around with Reigns for far too long and now you finally have the belt on him. So it either it works this time or it doesn't, so in that case you finally accept that you've been pushing Reigns for as long as Stone Cold was at his peak and now it's time to go back to the drawing board.

I actually like Reigns and I hope he has a memorable run but this has to be it now. This is his moment. Either he reaches the top or not this time.

Anyway... the Bellas hanging around Ronda fan girling like a bad smell while Ronda rag dolls those deemed poor enough to be discardable in the exception of Bliss is just pure cringe. Make it stop please.

PTH2009 · 04-09-2018 04:44PM

thought it was an ok Raw

annoyed they seemed to have got rid of pairing KO with Paul Heymen

Taker returned too face HBK. Good segment and you could almost feel HBK coming out of retirement. There really hyping this match up. Triple H and Mick Foley appearing next week and no doubt more legends will appear in the coming weeks to hype the match more. Taker some man for somone who was suppose to be retired

The Bellas are awful atm with all the botches and the general bad acting

The sheild get arrested for doing there job but then get left off and are able to drive the police van itself to return. So everyone hates the shield, so the shield are the only faces on the Raw roster and everyone else is heel ???. It was an ok segment tbf

Feel this Roode/Gable thing will end with Roode turning heel

CastorTroy · 04-09-2018 06:09PM

Finished watching but I'm still waiting for the second legendary return. I guess they were hinting Taker would be back when they said it.

On an unrelated note, can the Bellas please go again? The backstage stuff is as bad or worse than their in ring stuff. And they're acting heel like with Ronda by speaking negatively about Nattie, yet then Brie is face on Smackdown.
Enjoy Ronda just tossing people around with the arm tosses. Though I think her time in UFC has totally messed up her brain since she was hit in the leg yet grabbed her ribs. Clearly nerve signals aren't working properly
And keeping with the women, did they seriously make a match that had Sasha, Bayley and Ember in it all about Dana?

And KO is now feuding with Bobby? Guess Heyman could help there.

Elias had better be careful or Braun may get jealous of him and Alexa.
Just wait now for Alexa to turn face and return to Columbus and say how great it is to be home.

As for the Shield, I know Back to the Future was set in 2015 and trials all moved faster, according to it, but my time watching American tv shows has taught me that getting arrested, processed, brought before a judge and post bail within a few hours at that time of night is very unlikely.
And though I knew it was them, I kinda expected Scott Steiner when the siren went off.

Now when do we get Shield vs AoP in a battle of the vests?

So last night all but confirmed that Shawn Michaels is coming out of retirement to face The Undertaker? That's what I strongly picked up on.
