WWE Raw (on Netflix) Superthread

Yes Gunther vs. Jey at WM will need something special, maybe ladder or 2 out of 3 falls, ironman etc., as Gunther was honest in his tear down of Jey who didn't attempt a comeback reply, roasting Gunther for lack of defences on ppvs and appearances on Raw etc, could have been a start, we have already seen Gunther beat Jey more than once

Have to admit, I find myself out 'watching' more raw and smackdown now that I can just stick it on the following morning when I start work. Hitting the FF button during the entrances cuts the shows down to manageable watches.

Had the exact same thought, wonder if this will have the same effect with WWE having to go with how the crowd reacts and have to make Charlotte heel.

Charlotte absolutely does not need it. I like her as a performer more than most but she is vastly overpushed, Saw a shocking fact on Reddit during the Rumble. There's been 8 Women's rumbles, with the winner challenging at Mania, Charlotte has missed two of the Manias since the Rumble started (injured last year, COVID a previous year, one of the few years she wouldn't have challenged or challenge a Rumble winner).

Of those 6 Manias since the Rumble began, every single Rumble winner has challenged Charlotte, the champion at Mania or she has won the Rumble.

2018 - Asuka won challenged Charlotte. 2019 - Becky won challenged Charlotte and Ronda. 2020 - She won the Rumble.

2022 - Ronda wins the Rumble and challenges Charlotte. 2023 - Rhea Ripley wins and challenges Charlotte.

2025 - Wins the Rumble

It's ridiculous.

Agreed, her breaking Asuka's streak was one of the matches that has annoyed me the most off the top of my head.

Her being thrown into the Mania main event with Becky was such nonsense too. I'm worried they'll just feed Tiffany to her now too tbh.

No she has not. The example I’ve used before is TLC 2019 when it was her and Becky vs Asuka and kairi sane. Kairi gets clearly concussed during the match and both Becky and asuka notice and try and work around it. Charlotte got thick because kairi wasn’t working with her, and she got visibly annoyed.

Early in her main event run the crows starting entertaining themselves and chanted while she was cutting a promo and she was lost.

So is the titanium in Logan's fist the modern day equivalent of the plate in Luger's forearm?

I don't understand why the wrestlers, for example Liv last night, get cut open then just go and hang out covered in dry blood. Fighting through being busted open might look good but not cleaning up after doesn't.

Isn't the Rhea match at Mania against the Chamber winner?

Who could Dom have in mind as a new JD member? Someone already on the roster or someone from NXT?

A 6 man match for IC title makes sense as would expect a ladder match. Although we're just after a ladder match at Rumble.

Was watching the "female superstars watch last year's Rumble match" video on WWE's youtube and when Jade came out Liv and Raquel started into the whole "Oh, who could it possibly have been who took her out" acting like it was obviously them. This was posted over 2 weeks ago. I still don't think it was them though.

Cody (SD) world champ, segments with Rock and Rollins while Gunther (Raw) world champ faces Tozawa and runs off from his WM challenger Jey Uso who he has beaten previously 😕

Another loss for Penta but he didn't get pinned

Thought Jade Cargil was going to return, suppose with the womens tag titles after changing hands it's opens the door for possibly Cargil vs Bianca (can say she orchestrated the attack or something)

I kinda feel Gunther has lost his aura, his persona etc., he was an awesome IC champ but now seems at a stalemate, stagnant if that makes sense, might be also his feuds since becoming world champ didn't help him, just my take on it, I may be wrong and Gunther vs. Jey might put on a banger main event at WM, if they do get a main event slot either night

I didn't think it showed him dominant when he ran, and yes I know he is a heel but just felt bad story telling, progression etc., again just my take on it

That main event was class. Hope this is the opportunity for the womens tag belts to get more focus and shine. Think we're gonna get a Judgement Day split and have Finn/Dom/AJ/Bron for the IC at Mania.
