    Hell in a Cell should've been the end but it wasn't.

    Iron-Woman should be the end but it won't.

    Last Woman Standing at Wrestlemania, I guess.

    They're doing this on Smackdown too. So many feuds dragging on and on. I'm not opposed to prolonged feuds but the writing isn't even nearly good enough to justify it. So much stale on both shows.

    I was cautiously optimistic about the brand split at the time but in my opinion the overall quality (granted Smackdown has improved given it was previously basically a Raw highlights show) of the output has dropped considerably.

    Getting boring seeing Sasha and Charlotte again

    ******



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,842 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    Just caught up on Charlotte's promo. She really has developed into a great heel.

    Quick preview

    The New Day look to make history in tough Triple Threat Match
    Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day are on the cusp of becoming the longest reigning tandem titleholders in WWE history — in fact, they tie Demolition’s record at midnight after Monday’s Raw — but first they’ll need to get past Sheamus & Cesaro and Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match.

    Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods & Big E have beaten the odds before, sometimes by bending the rules. However, with a record on the line, the stakes have perhaps never been higher for the Booty-O’s chomping trio. Can The Power of Positivity propel The New Day into the record books?

    Iron sharpens iron as Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair aim to settle the score
    One week after Sasha Banks dedicated her third Raw Women’s Championship victory over Charlotte Flair to Ric Flair — The Queen’s father — the bitter former titleholder used a faux “public apology” to humiliate her dad, leading to a brawl that left The Boss battered in the middle of the ring.

    The incident came just moments after we learned that Sasha will defend her title against Charlotte in a 30-Minute WWE Iron Man Match at Roadblock: End of the Line, a bout that will serve as the decisive and perhaps final battle of one of The New Era’s most personal rivalries.

    After being laid out by The Queen Monday night, will The Boss retaliate this week, live in Philadelphia?

    “Best friends” no more?
    The saga between Chris Jericho and WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens has taken some strange turns as of late, but after The Prizefighter inadvertently cost the curator of “The List” a potential United States Championship win against Roman Reigns, it’s hard to believe that reconciliation is in the cards.

    Six days before Owens defends his title against The Big Dog at Roadblock: End of the Line, and as Jericho goes into battle against Seth Rollins at that event on Sunday, Dec. 18, will “The Kevin Owens Show” bring us a cast reunion, or is Jeri-KO finished?

    The Emmalina makeover is here!
    After weeks of speculation, Emma’s makeover to Emmalina will finally premiere on Raw! Although it’s difficult to extract anything concrete from the promotional videos that have recently aired during Raw, it’s easy to assume that Emma’s transformation is something the WWE Universe won’t want to miss. How will the debut of Emmalina impact the Women’s division on Team Red?

    Enzo Amore checks in, but he doesn’t check out
    Thinking he was in store for an amorous hotel room rendezvous with Lana — whose relationship with her husband Rusev was seemingly on the rocks — Enzo Amore instead fell victim to a savage beating by The Bulgarian Brute, who mauled the unsuspecting Enzo and left him barely conscious in the hallway.

    How will “Muscles Marinara” and his partner, Big Cass, respond to this sinister sneak attack this coming Monday night?

    Will Mick Foley give Sami Zayn his match with Braun Strowman?
    Showing utter disregard for his own wellbeing, Sami Zayn continues to defy Raw General Manager Mick Foley in pursuit of a match against the imposing Braun Strowman. However, thus far he’s been unsuccessful in convincing The Hardcore Legend that’s he is up to the task — especially given his recent encounters with The Monster Among Men.

    After suffering defeat at the hands of longtime foe and reigning WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens last Monday night, The Underdog from the Underground is undoubtedly more determined than ever to get what he wants, despite the risks it presents. Will we soon see Zayn go up against The Abominable Strowman as he has previously demanded? Is Zayn’s desire courageous or, as Foley has suggested, foolish?

    Finally Emma arrives back.

    So I'm guessing the team that isn't involved in the decision in the triple threat will be facing New Day at Roadblock?

    Still hoping they go with my idea of a swerve for the Emmalina debut:

    If she debuts as she has been portraied, i cant imagine what they will do with her exactly. Id say you may be on to something.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,104 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    New Day aren't going to lose, no interest in Charlotte/Sasha anymore, Owens/Y2J best friend stuff is getting a bit old.

    Emmalina is actually looking like the most interesting thing on the show.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,796 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So Emmalina will be a heel? Will she get back with Dana?

    There are very few ones on Raw I care about at the moment

    If Emmalina comes out and does her stupid dance in anyway her new gimmick is dead in the water straight away.


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,535 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Cesaro was on fire in that match. Looked like Woods had a hold of Cesaro's leg but the commentators never touched on it, and the replays never showed it. Weird. Maybe it will play into a storyline.

    Anyone get the feeling new day will lose the title before the end of the night

    I have no doubts whatsoever. Probably Jerichowens, or hopefully Demolition.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,773 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    A certain 'show' with the first 'big' will challenge strowman very very soon

    What a 5 star classic that will be.


  • Registered Users Posts: 60,291 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    So is Stephanie going to cost The New Day the titles before midnight?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 958 ✭✭✭funtime93


    Main event was soooo predictable. I hate when you can see **** coming a mile off. Can't stand the new day either. How do fans like the garbage they toss out every Monday like how the hell does that "who who" thing get over ? Seriously , it does nothing to change people's perceptions that only kids watch wrestling when **** like that gets a pop .


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Blue_Dabadee


    The only time WWE cares about breaking a record is when record holder is on bad terms with company. I can understand why WWE have not broken up New Day just yet because of merchandise sales, but their act has grown stale since they turned babyface.


  • Registered Users Posts: 60,291 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Doing the Curt Hawkins storyline with Emma not showing up and she will show up when she wants and they wonder why fans stop watching.

    Seems like Emma is bitter about all the attention Sasha and Charlotte are getting...

    https://twitter.com/EmmaWWE/status/808509538320138240

    I hope she interferes on Sunday.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,842 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    Flimsy excuse to post that picture.

    I heartily approve.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    The Zayn - Foley promo was the highlight. Great promo from both, arguebly Sami's best promo work since joining the Main roster and Id say Foleys first relivant promo since becoming GM. Both on top form and I hung on every word. Great Job


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,411 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Loved the Sami/Foley segment (though I do wish he'd have gone to Smackdown; the fact the crowd were chanting in delight at the tease sums it all up). Hope they capitalize on this at the PPV.

    Also loved the main event. Really got into it, some really fun spots, some tension (not a lot, but some).


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,796 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Well they clearly know what everyone's opinion of Eva Marie is, when she was the lowest blow they could do.

    No Emma. Boo! Though going by the tweet she's definitely going to be heel.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,397 ✭✭✭The White Feather


    That was another very boring RAW.

    New Day have been boring for a long time. Not interested in their schtick anymore so having them twice n the show means I fast forward thru it quicker.Did slightly hope Owens and Jericho would beat them and go on to break the record which would be great.But when they announce records they rarely have them not beaten so it was obvious.

    Poor Bullet club. I was excited for them coming to WWE but they are now jobbers.Zayn at the moment does nothing for me but I would always give a guy a chance.

    I have given Reigns a million chances to win me over but he hasn't.Just turn him heel already!! He spears Owens to a load of boos and WWE still go along with him.

    I have no interest at all in the cruiserweights.Don't know any of them at all as I didn't watch the classic but WWE have made it impossible to get behind any of them.

    Charlotte and Sasha having an Ironman match? No interest in seeing them wrestle for the billionth time and especially that long.Bayleys match lasted for less than 3 mins. Less than 3 mins in a show that is 3 hours long! A great face that everyone likes gets less than 3 mins????

    I did like the Enzo/cass/lana/rusev angle tho.

    For the first time ever, I feel like WWE is totally kids stuff now. Just like Funtime said earlier.Theres no real action and everything feels like 'forced fun' to me.Obviously it has been getting like that for ages but now I think its gone down the rabbit hole fully.

    It used to be about battles for the titles with a few laughs thrown in.
    Now its a few belts thrown in with a smirk of it's all a laugh and doesn't mean anything anyway.

    How can you tell a work colleague that New Day Rocks? They are just a comedy act best used sparingly.Not carry the titles for a record time.I would cringe if they were on and had to explain to a non wrestling fan.

    WTF Moments: WWE RAW (Dec 12, 2016)



  • Registered Users Posts: 28,796 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I liked Jack Gallagher's polite declaration of interference.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral



    Poor Bullet club. I was excited for them coming to WWE but they are now jobbers.

    How infuriating is this? Absolutely crap booking. Came in as invaders in street clothes, could have teased that out a bit longer. Putting them with AJ was great too but why not move them to SD Live and let them grab the inaugural tag straps? Have American Alpha go to Raw instead and build them up. Club came in with a massive reputation, shame they're an afterthought now.

    Would anyone be surprised if they asked to be released and went back to NJPW.
