Xavier winning was at least somewhat ok, Jinder has no business near a ring with the amount of talent WWE have never mind in a King of the Ring final.
The Queen's Crown is the absolute drizzling **** though. My one thought was that they were gonna have Shayna just brutalize everyone and move her onto challenging for the title, legitimately repackaged but they're going to make her Sonya Devilles enforcer instead. And now we have a final nobody ever asked for or wanted in Zelina and Doudrop.
Raw is sucking the life out of Big E like it does any face that ever goes over there. What is the point of fighting Bobby and Ziggler two weeks in a row.
Charlotte was obviously retaining as otherwise they'd have spoiled the triple threat match with Sasha being the only Smackdown star left.
It's just a dumpster fire week after week, I cannot understand how they can put out a semi decent show in Smackdown and then serve up a steaming pile of dog crap in Raw, every single writer involved should have been binned off months ago.
Im sure the Family Guy manatees are booking WWE these days. Manatee balls include :
Odd couple tag team
2 min womens match
Can they coexist rivals
Zayn v Owens match
Nxt call up loss
Alexa doll segment
Challenger beats champ non title match
But how can they co... ah I give up.
Such a pointless title match between Charlotte/Bianca.
I believe another Drew and Big E team up tonight
1.5 million must be one of the lowest ever for raw. i am surprided that many still watch this show they must watch it out of habit because they are not watching it for the qulity of the show anymore.
This is just unwatchable.
Such a talented roster booked abysmally. So many missed opportunities.
Disappointed to see ricochet buried again, jinder will probably go on to win it outside interference from the worst henchmen in the wwe
I’m disappointed they avoided Kofi vs Xavier. I think that would have been a far more interesting story that Xavier vs Jinder.
Since Sami isn’t going to Saudi shows, I’d imagine it’s Finn vs Jinder as the finals? Which sounds boring as sin.
Well seems Mansoor isn't just being thrown into a random match this time like every other time they're in Saudi Arabia.
Was sure they were going to have Jeff beat another NXT guy on his debut.
Push Xavier
Yep don't think I can sleep with that question unanswered
How can they coexist?
Could we see a Kofi vs Woods semi final ?
Tonight’s tournament matches include Kofi Kingston vs. Jinder Mahal, Ricochet vs. Xavier Woods, Doudrop vs. Natalya, and Shayna Baszler vs. Dana Brooke.
RAW will also be headlined by SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair teaming up to face Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair.

A Big E/Ziggler feud as a stop gap might be ok actually given their history. Doubt they will go that way but there's more mileage than the tag match in that story if they wanted imo.
I wonder will we see Edge vs. Finn
Would you want to see him get a title run where he'd no doubt be made to look like an idiot? He's never going to be the guy for Vince so they'd never treat it seriously. He'll be built up from time to time when needed to be a challenger but there's a ceiling for him.
He could do some interesting stuff with the likes of AJ Styles and Kevin Owens for a while outside of the title picture.
I'd agree but her ring attire is awful. If she went down the Nia Jax route of wrestling gear she'd look far more bad ass imo anyways.
The source wasn’t big Davey Meltzy thou.
Cool, so that means Balor will be getting another title run, considering that's how these stories usually go.
Vince was reported to say Balor would never get another title run in WWE he’s just there to put over vinces pet projects as he has credibility.
Shame about the name but I think Doudrop has what it takes to become something. She has a presence about her and her facial expressions are good.
Becky's fashion sense is increasingly the highlight for me, just realised her and Rollins are basically doing the same gimmick.
God, Raw is awful. Another main event, another non-finish.
Becky's abs were the highlight of the show.
Interesting to see how Finn comes back after the rope shenanigans. We've not heard from him since. Given how strong they made him look in all the recent Roman matches, wonder if he'll be a major title challenger on RAW.
Shorty G to return?
Is it almost a given that for a big percentage of WWE stars would be drafted between brands at least once or twice (maybe more in some cases) during there wwe careers ?
Kurt Angle no longer the only Olympic gold medallists' in WWE with Gable Steveson now part of Raw. Going to be a little confusing have Gable Steveson and Chad Gable
Xia has been off NXT for a number of weeks. She's now the first Chinese superstar to appear on the WWE main roster.
Really strange selection of call-ups from NXT tbh.
Not sure if either roster is getting me that excited at the moment.
