WWE Raw Discussion Thread

[Oaf]

There are just certain tag teams where you can always tell which one is going to be a dick at the end of any tag team run. Like, we all know that one day Cass is gonna turn on Enzo. That's fucking given.

You fuckin' said it past Oaf.

But yeah, good Raw. We've gotten past the traditional post WM slump now... I always feel like the MitB PPV is usually the turning point. It usually opens up fresh new angles and we start heading into Summerslam.

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

I can't believe how much of a coward Enzo is, poor Cass is giving a heartfelt promo and Enzo thinks it's a good time to headbutt his foot! I'm just glad that Cass wasn't injured in this cold and cowardly attack!

 

[Luke]

I fear for Enzo's future once this storyline with Cass is complete as apart from maybe a move to the Cruiserweight's what else is there for him?

Think Braun's returned has been booked well and they are making Joe/Lesnar feel like a big fight.

 

[Scott Barton]

Thought they played the enzo and big cass thing brilliantly, been years since i have seen a reaction like that.

For me, they should have had nia win the gauntlet

I'm enjoying the Reigns\Stromann fued. Not sure how its going to end though.

Hopefully soon.

Again, poor last hour of Raw for me - having Strowman/Crews wrestle only to lead to an obvious moment when Reigns came out of the ambulance.

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

That promo from Enzo was something else. Amazing what happens when they don't have to follow a script..

 

[Oaf]

Enzo has always had an absolute gift when he's got a microphone in his hand... it was just fresh and new to see him get to take a serious tone rather than his usual comedic one for a change.

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

Which is why it's going to be so annoying when that charisma vacuum Cass goes over...but hey, big guy always beats lil guy right.

I don't believe it wasn't scripted, awesome none the less

 

[Libertine]

Sick of Booker T constantly grunting on every stiff shot.

 

[iesty wfc]

i wonder who Kurt Angle is loving next week?

Sounds suspiciously like they are setting up a HHH/Angle match for Summerslam, doesn't it? I can't see them stretching this out until Wrestlemania.

 

[T.A]

People are saying that's he's coming out as gay on twitter for a storyline of course a man that is married and has 5 kids.

Surely not?

 

[Stevencc]

Ooooooold news.

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

They have Dixie Carter on the new Angle documentary they did.....

 

[iesty wfc]

He is jason jordans dad! Fast track to the main event scene right there

 

[Stevencc]

...underwhelming.

 

[Libertine]

Yeh, weird. Like something from back in the day.

 

[T.A]

Apart from the first promo was every match the same as last week?

Poor.

 

[Luke]

Cass/Show as main event, fucking hell.

Is Brock leaving WWE after Summerslam then or will he retain?!

Rumours are they are doing another shake up after Summerslam and Cena is off to Raw.

 

[Oaf]

Yeah, that was so fucking backwards. Incredible Reigns/Strowman/Joe triple threat mid way through the show, crappy Cass/Show match to finish it. Terrible order.

That being said, I enjoyed the triple threat a lot... can't wait to see what happens when Lesnar gets thrown into the mix.

Viewing figures bro; they peak at end of the second hour apparently?

 

[Oaf]

That's all I can think of. Or maybe there was something else airing at the same time as the last hour of Raw that WWE didn't want to compete with.

 

[Stevencc]

 

[T.A]

Great promo. The match after it was oddly done.

 

[TheMinsterman]

Pretty standard Cena promo, it's only getting a massive love fest on the wrestling forums because this time he talked down and buried somebody they hate, when he did it to Miz, AJ Styles etc people were outraged.

 

[Libertine]

You could see what they were trying to do - to get the smarky fans on board so they don't shit over it too much. Probably worked. Why are they doing it at No Mercy though? Odd. Unless they do a rematch perhaps at Rumble (assuming Roman is busy at WM).

 

[Stevencc]

It's great stuff.

A little bit shooty, perfect for the smarks and two wrestlers most people dislike telling each other exactly what it is about the other that is so hated by the audience.

I'm definitely more of a Roman guy but I'd probably be a Harold Shipman guy if he was battling Cena. As strange as that would be to watch.

 

[TheMinsterman]

FWIW I enjoyed it and I don't think Reigns looked as bad as people made out, all Cena did really was say what Smarks online say about Reigns and pandered to them (showing how hypocritical they are now they are several miles up his small intestine). I wanna see them smack each other and that is really the entire point.
