    One of the comments I saw during the week as a compliment to Kross was; "For the first time ever in the last few weeks I hadn't even noticed Scarlett was standing beside him"🤣

    I think her being up against a returning Becky who just won't get booed, means she'll have to develop a bit and that's good. Definitely agree that she needs to change but I think this programme can be what will bring it out in here. I definitely felt reminded of when Finn Balor had that stage where all he did was smile and put on good matches and it did him no favours.

    I was thinking who else could Seth and Paul recruit and when is Bronson Reed likely back, I know he feuded with Seth but Stomp, Spear and Tsunami all under Heyman's guidance, the carnage



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,477 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Have a feeling if Bronson Reed didn't get injured then he would of been under the hood on Raw. Maybe he will join eventually

    Saw a suggestion Austin Theory should be the 'Randy Orton' of the group if there going in the Evolution like direction



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,344 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Well he does need some sort of reset and eventually could lead him to a face

    Have WWE or Netflix ever given a reason for editing the replay of Raw? I know they cut out the parts where commercials would be, but if watching live they show full entrances, all of the match, interviews, so it's not like we see commercials.

    What makes it worse is the replays of NXT and Smackdown have those "Back soon" videos instead of commercials, when cutting those would make more sense.

    I'm pretty sure the majority of viewers these days are via Netflix so they should cater to the majority. And the footage is all still there, Just for some reason, it's set up to skip forward at those points.

    Rumours of Austin Theory's demise appear to be unfounded based on last night. That eventual split between Waller and Theory is going to be frozen it's been teased for so long though😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,148 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    How many do a spear now? Jey's is quite crap. He really needs his own move considering he does a spear, a superkick and a splash.

    Thought we might've had Stephanie out to hep Iyo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,344 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Jey vs. Seth would have been better at the ppv instead of Jey vs. Logan Paul if that is the plan

    I'm enjoying heel Giulia

    Is Paul ronseal tanning with Bron now 😄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,344 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Yes Jey's spear is bad, more like a diving headbutt, he should give up doing imho

    Heymans promo was excellent and he was right. Decent Raw genuinely thought Jey was finished tonight as people had reported Punk was on extended leave.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,148 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Lyra definitely came across better than I expected.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,717 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    How long are they going to drag out Theory and Waller breaking apart or Finn out of Judgement Day. Seems both have been going on a long time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,344 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    So it looks like after Pat, it will be Gunther vs. Goldberg for Summerslam according to TDS



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 26,086 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Boooring Goldberg put over Braun and should have left it at that. He offers nothing these days as a draw IMO. Gunther deserves better but I get it he can’t be on top all the time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭ThePott


    If he retires Goldberg I think that's worthwhile. The programme between him and Goldberg could be fun if they lean into Gunther being a proper wrestler and Goldberg being a one (or two) trick pony.

    Time will though, I've been assuming it would lead to Gunther/Goldberg alright.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,477 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    So is Sami 'Heymans 3rd man' ?



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,015 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,477 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Would love it to be someone unexpected like Sheamus (the co big man of the group) but maybe his time as a 'big player' has passed



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,015 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Or they might go for another younger guy similar to Bron. Someone did say what about Ilja?

    Gunther getting his rematch against Jey on Raw

    Jey has Seth, Logan and Gunther after his title



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Its destined to be Logan Paul dethroning him at some point. Huge media spin for WWE if they pull the trigger. TBH id rather neihter of them as champion, jey is completely underwhelming and looks out of place. Similar to Priest World champion just doesnt suit



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,344 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Punk calling Heyman "Penguin" 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,344 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Kairi Sane returning tonight



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 56,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Haven't watched yet but Christ that injury Zoey Stark got looked bad



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,148 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I think instead of editing matches, they could've cut that basketball player interview in International replays. I'm no sports fan but I'm sure I'm not the only one who had no interest.

    Between that, Jey's entrance and a Rusev ramble, I skipped a bit.

    But yeah the Zoey injury looked bad. Seems one of the edited parts showed her attempting to walk but then had to be carried back. She was probably meant to take the pin.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,477 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Such a pity about Zoey Starks injury and hopefully not as bad as feared. From a 'character' standpoint the break could do wonders but always tough been out because of an injury

    Hopefully Rusev can move away from Alpha Academy. Him only appearing on videos doing promo's is a little odd

    Logan Paul not winning on Saturday, if he's finishing 'strong' each week hes on



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 56,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    No harm. They're lining up the heels to take on the winner anyways with Gunther and then Seth. Although I sort of want him to win just to have Gunther absolutely murder him but yeah I don't see Jey dropping the belt just yet. HHH doesn't really do short title reigns that much



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,344 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Jey's IC title reign was short but I don't want Logan winning so I do hope not

    Imagine if Logan joined Seth's group, na better if Gunther still destroyed him (does not need to be in a title match) and Seth stomping him and Bron spearing him

    I wish Buddy Murphy was around for this version of Rollins. Would have been the perfect third guy.
