Once again my age is showing with regard trying to understand terms used. Such as "We want the smoke" and now "drip" as in "Johnny Drip Drip"

Not sure if it's WWE or me that would be represented by this

Jeff Hardy jobbing out to the Jinder Mahal and his new group

To think at one time Jeff was the most over face in WWE

I'm kinda liking RKBro

What's the right sort of heat? If people get the specific kind of heat they want then how is that the right heat if they are satisfied with it?

Heat that makes you want to see the bad guy get his comeuppance. Heat that makes you tune in to see what will happen next.

Bad heat makes you tune out because you don't care.

Go away heat is completely different to actual heat.

Was thinking I hadn't seen much Fiend/Lily talk today, seems this little gem escaped me. Bliss using her magic powers to give Baszler leg cramp, great stuff!

If she can do that then why is she not World Heavyweight Champion?

Nah when I saw the replay, it looked like Carrillo's left leg went, maybe even broke. Sheamus likely couldn't stop himself landing on the leg of Carrillo stopped controlling him.
In my opinion

So first we get the Eva Marie return announcement and now Jinder is back. WWE pulling out all the stops. :rolleyes:

It gets worse According to some of the usual Twitter heads Vince is pushing for Jinder to win the title and feud with Drew.

Jeff Hardy apparently done with wwe too so he was going out on his back.

CastorTroy · 11-05-2021 9:46pm

TV deals coming up for renewal in India?

Then they can have Mansoor win the US Title. I'm sure Saudi Arabia would love that.

ThePott · 11-05-2021 10:17pm

Was Mansoor even on Raw this week? It seems like he wasn't from what I've read.

CastorTroy · 11-05-2021 10:25pm

Nope. Maybe he was meant to get involved in the match between Sheamus and Humberto.
Speaking of, shouldn't the ref have checked on both guys before he did instead of counting?
Seemed he was likely told in his earpiece to go check.

Looking quickly online, it looks like he's fine anyway.

PTH2009 · 11-05-2021 11:05pm

Any chance down the line Riddle will be the one to turn on Orton or will it be the evinatable Orton turn ?

Jeff must of pissed off someone backstage to be losing to Jindar but tbf this could be a semi decent run for him and his new stable. Vince loves his giants

It's hard to not see Drew in the title picture for another year. Braun ending raw strong means he's not winning Sunday

What makes it worse is that the the website is calling it "some sort of leg malfunction" :pac:

I’ve reached the point where I’m unable to watch to watch the weekly product. I’ll Keep up to the date with what’s going on but for now, I have no desire to watch raw and Smackdown every week. They just don’t care about producing food shows week to week and really don’t give a ****e about fans watching. Last time I felt like this was around 95/96. I’ll come back to watching at some point but for now I’m out

I havent watched Raw in 2 weeks and Im the better for it.

Havent watched NXT either, just about watching some of Smackdown.

CastorTroy · 17-05-2021 11:39am

Watching the PPV kickoff made me realise the 24/7 title seems to have disappeared.

Loughc · 17-05-2021 11:49am

RAW badly needs a new challenger for the title, Drew needs to step away from the Main Event for a bit and Braun is pointless.

Be careful what you wish for, reports did the rounds over the weekend suggesting Jaxon Ryker is being primed as an opponent to Lashley.

Maybe he'll make Raw great again.... :pac:

But all seriousness that's an awful shout if they go with him.... which I now expect them to.....

Cotts72 · 17-05-2021 1:38pm

Someone has edited Jaxon rykers wipi page and listed him as WWE's first ever Racism champion

Even Elias would be better

I think give Shelton a run, bring in his mama to help take out MVP :P or even Bray back dressed as Lily

Miz really is a company guy fully all he has to put up with and he delivers let him and also JoMo be in world title picture (I was never a Miz fan but hell he does all that is asked for him and Bunny was made look a star)

Think they have been kinda teasing minor tension between Miz and JoMo last couple of weeks, I’d imagine one to turn on the other in the week or 2, leading to match at HiaC and then separating in a Draft, if there is one this Summer.

Alexa and Lily to challenge?
Are they associated with the zombies?

ThePott · 17-05-2021 10:08pm

Wonder if they'll rope Nikki Cross into this.

CastorTroy · 17-05-2021 11:32pm

Ah Nikki, I remember her.

J. Marston · 17-05-2021 11:52pm

If a 10 year old child can win the titles I'm sure a doll qualifies too.

PTH2009 · 18-05-2021 12:20am

A way of getting drew out of the title picture would be someone like Keith Lee costing him in a Number 1 contender match or something.

What is the story Keith Lee, SD or Raw or back to NXT? Where is he? I thought him and Mia were off with Covid19 but that was a few weeks back

I really wanna see Orton try to hit an RKO on Omos

Nobody knows the story about Keith Lee but hopefully he returns in a big way. Would love to see him join Lashley and MVP as the new Hurt Business

Would love to see that too

PTH2009 · 18-05-2021 1:09am

Looking like Bobby vs Drew yet again

Yes HB with MVP is a good place to him, I thought Naomi might be added also when drafted to Raw

JP Liz V1 · 18-05-2021 1:57am

Shelton or Jeff to challenge Bobby tonight?

Maybe Edge for a shock return

JP Liz V1 · 18-05-2021 3:12am

Does Shayna Baszler like Reginald now? Can we expect him on a pole match for her and Nia?

Who/what else can we bring back by mentioning here?

I never understand that about the open challenges. Everyone assumed it was for the title and everyone was talking about going for it, yet it seemed no one was rushing out for it. I would like to think there would be some sort of fight backstage of ones trying to get out there first.

And is Sheamus not there long enough to not have to do the "I love me gold" bit?

And no one went after Tozawa in the lumberjack match?

No idea where they're going with Alexa.

I mentioned yesterday Raw needs a new title challenger and looks like Kofi getting a mini push after pinning Orton and Lashley in the same night.

CastorTroy · 18-05-2021 12:17pm

I choose to think Nikki just headed out for the craic when the guys were heading out rather than she was meant to be there.

J. Marston · 18-05-2021 12:55pm

I'm hardly an authority on what is and isn't cool but I'm sure dabbing went out of fashion about 3 years ago. God, Ricochet is just the least coolest man alive.

I thought the same

I had forgot Nikki was drafted to Raw

CastorTroy · 18-05-2021 4:57pm

Before the suplex from the top rope, it looked like she was headed over to join the brawl then saw what was being set up

PTH2009 · 18-05-2021 9:43pm

Drew is really not leaving the World Title picture anytime soon unless they have a solid feud for him. Like is said yesterday it would have to involve someone like Keith Lee (if/when he returns) or someone from NXT debuting

TimesArrow · 18-05-2021 10:46pm

I think Drew will be booed by fans soon enough.. it’s amazing how they’ve turned him into such an unlikeable entitled unfunny knob.. Cena like..

Shemaus vs Ricochet was the only bright patch on Raw for me. Its how Ricochet vs Brock should have been booked.

Its a platform for Ricochet.... the angle is goofy, but the match was a good tv match.

Agent Coulson · 22-05-2021 8:07pm

Reading there that the WWE were paid a million for the Zombie match to advertise Army of the Dead.

JP Liz V1 · 25-05-2021 1:24am

Kofimania on the rise again
