    When watching the New Day talking with Kross, I was sure Jones was going to attack Woods from how he was standing behind him. We've all seen enough turns to expect it. Though would've been too soon.

    Imagine if Edge never left Judgement Day and the company. I really don't think they would be where they are. I'll be the first to admit, when they were first revealed and when they kicked Edge out, I expected midcard jobbers at best. Now they're on tv every week and fans are happy to see them. Maybe some members and former members more than others.

    Also, is Mami still Mami without Dom?

    I liked the comments from Truth and Randy about "Is that the guy who killed Rollins?"

    I always thought Xavier would make a decent heel

    I've still zero interest though in Kross group and him

    Nice to get a mixed tag match again

    What I liked about Raw was it was all story driven.

    Everything served a purpose no random matches everything pushed a storyline on. For the first time in years I’m invested in a new day storyline and Karrion Kross is doing well on the mic.

    A lot of good coming out of it.

    The future is Bron, great on the mic, a bit too tanned but awesome and even as a heel is over, woof, go on Brown Breaker 😁

    i'll die on this hill, but Rhea is amongst the most overrated performers in the industry.

    The look, which I grant you, is unique and somewhat a draw, and she can wrestle.

    But she can't act and is not believable when she speaks. she overdoes her mannerisms and doesn't deliver her promos particularly well.

    Liv and Dom have utterly carried the feud, even upon Rhea's return.

    But look, I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. I've tried, but I just switch off when she's on. even when she headbutted JD the other week, leading to Damian hitting South Of Heaven, Damian was by far the more interesting performer.

    But listen, maybe it's just me.

    I would say the Priest and Rhea combo isn't quite working for me yet, I expect Jey to join them so he should liven it up a bit.

    Just hearing anyone pronouncing their 3 syllables now has me expecting them or the crowd to say "Yeah!" Like when CM Punk said his name or when Orton said "RKO".

    So a title match is announced before the show yet a match made during the show is the main event?!

    Who's the likely winner of the IC title tournament? Jey?

    She’s the most over star on Raw though? The crowds adore her.

    I like Rhea but her acting is a bit cringe, not really comfortable when doing long mic promos

    I can't wait for her to drop Dom and pin him at the BIB ppv hopefully, I do not think her Liv feud can continue all the way to next year's WM, Rhea vs. Bianca still needs to happen imho

    That could be as she is against Dom, the most over heel heel 😁

    Dom must have everyone confused as to how he's so over and how he was able to go from being a heel to even more of a heel.

    While watching the Judgement Day section all I could think was JD has the perfect head for a Predator. Dunno if just his head shape and the hair but could superimpose a Predator's face over his and I would say it would fit. Probably sounds a bit mean but just what I was thinking.

    Tbf they're level in terms of wins so a third match is needed to cap things off.

    It is a pity Kross is not available to go into Judgement Day.

    Final Testament have the size, power and menace but none of the craic or ability to get real heat. Judgement Day are the opposite. They both have what each other need.

    I'm guessing Lyra was teasing Natalya so "Yay"?

    Noticed the Raw headlines later in the show spelled Drew's name wrong.

    Fairly Bad Raw in fairness. Felt like just a build to bad blood.

    Wyatt Sicks just do nothing for me. Like longevity wise this act has no legs.

    No interest in a Balor Priest match since they made Balor look like a joke since turning on priest.

    More interest in seeing Drew vs Wade than Drew punk again.

    And Sami makes no sense as world champion contender seeing as he can’t even beat Bron. I get it he’s the last man to beat Gunther but he’s done nothing since. His intercontinental title run was not it.

    New Day stuff is interesting but they need to pull the trigger soon. Interested in what they’re planning with Miz but that’s not going to put bums in seats.

    I actually thought the Wyatts/American Made tag match was excellent - and has me intrigued as to how far they can go now.

    Rowan, who I never rated in the ring, looked particularly good and reminded me of Brodie in his movements. The sell for that Sister Abigail from one of the Creeds was very good.

    Was it injury that caused Wade to retire in ring?

    A feud with Drew after Punk would be great if he can wrestle again

    I enjoyed that Finn, he needs to be build back up and go over Priest first in their feud singles match

    Think he wanted to purse other things, pretty sure he could wrestle.

    I thought it was a decent Raw.

    I liked the Wyatts match quite a bit. I think they've also done a good job making the Judgement Day look a bit better over the last few weeks tbh. Not sure how I feel about Jey Uso going for the IC, his character has gotten so one note. Oh and Gunther saying Goldberg was his favourite lol.

    Two hours, it's finally back. Then again I think Raw has been watchable at 3 hours as of late so will reserve judgement. I worry that it means less exposure for certain wrestlers and divisions. Remains to be seen if Netflix keep it at that length.
