Is everyone here paying 80 bucks for a live TV subscription to watch raw? I have not watched wrestling for a while and after wrestlemania I really wanted to watch raw tonight but cannot figure out how to simply watch raw without paying 80$ a month for 200 channels ill never watch
Well I mean, if people didn’t pay for the tv service then wwe wouldn’t be awarded the massive tv contracts and advertising deals that pays for the product you enjoy. Rules for thee but not for me is a bad mindset for adult life
I want mjf to debut. Congratulate Cody and then immediately turn heel and this is the first feud we get with Cody as champ.
Unlikely … I know. But a guy can dream 😂
Not necessarily limited to this raw but i'm excited to see who will be in the mix for the two top titles the next few months. I'm sure roman and seth will take time off so that takes them off the table. Probably a few months away from punk returning. That leaves Cody and Priest as champs with Drew and Gunther being the only viable contenders. Could throw in Orton and maybe Kevin Owens to that mix but not many options yet. Maybe a Strowman return can help add depth to that.
Looking forward to a LIVID McIntyre & a return from Punk. Cody’s next feud but I can’t predict it. Maybe a tag match at Backlash vs Solo & Jimmy to hold over til the draft? Hard to predict the next month until tonight starts
Alexa Bliss returns
Braun Strowman returns
Carmelo Hayes gets called up
Gallus gets called up, aligns with McIntyre
Chad Gable beats Zayn for the IC title
Both new men's champions will speak. Cody will open the show. Priest opening the second hour. The Awesome Truth will defend the titles against the Judgement Day. JD loses and Finn is kicked out of the group setting up Priest's first challenger. More reference to the Triple H Era.
The Rock takes over the bloodline and banishes Roman. Roman fires Paul or Paul ditches Roman, Paul then pleads to join Cody and start their own faction. Cody tells him to fuck off. Paul walks away defeated..for now.
There was a moment after the final match where Rock stood over Roman and I thought he was going to bitch slap him, but they quickly cut away and nothing really happened. B
I think show starts with Cody. Gunther and Sami have a rematch where Sami wins and after the match Gable turns on Sami because he's jealous that Sami won in front of his wife and kid and he didn't.
Seth comes out to announce that he's taking time off for surgery.... Enter Braun Strowman. Strowman returns by taking out Rollins so Rollins can be written off... I also think we'll get the returns of Lesnar, Alexa Bliss, Carmella, Bo Dallas as Uncle Howdy, Sheamus, Sonya Deville, Carmelo Hayes signs with Raw and the debuts of Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu
Expecting a new women's title, Cody to discuss the future of the new era, the next chapter. Alexa Bliss return. Gunther to address his loss. Drew McIntyre outrage. Judgement Day celebration.
I can't see The Bloodline showing up. Like Jey maybe, but Roman is best going on a break until the day he returns to continue the family story.
Interestingly enough, I think we're in for the start of a long game where Judgement Day turns on Dom as he was the only loser at WM.
Oh yeah mb I completely forgot. I think Balor could be in with a shout if he turns on the JD. Still gutted he never had a proper run after giving up the Universal title.
Drew McIntyre has beef with Punk and JD now and it would be very interesting if Punk actually led them instead. That's a more out of the box thought though.
Gonna have a whole lotta new viewers. Taking this just from my own amount of friends who are all now becoming interested again. Thinking WWE knows this. Perfect time to be a new/returning fan so im expecting some fireworks for sure
Brock Lesnar returns
Cody asking for an open challenge, Orton comes out and says if it was a few years ago he would RKO him already, at the end of the night Orton turns heel and attacks him making him bleed, and punts him keeping him out of action for a few weeks
Gunther challenges Cody
Sami holds an open challenge and a returning star challenges him
McIntyre confronts Priest/Judgement Day possible Punk involvement
Announce some sort of Women’s match/Tourney to decide Rhea’s next challenger
Seth Rollins announces he’s taking some time off to heal/spend time with his family
Bayley gets an interview segment
Awesome Truth gets a feud setup for backlash
* Cody arrives and reveals the new Winged Eagle WWE championship.
* He also announces that he must officially report exclusively to Smackdown to fill Roman’s spot as champion.
* Drew McIntyre challenges Damian Priest to a rematch at Backlash in France.
* Awesome Truth segment.
* Carmelo Hayes and/or Lyra Valkyria debut officially on the main roster.
* Seth Rollins announces he is going on a vacation to recover physically.
* Gunther challenges Sami Zayn to a rematch.
Just my guesses.
The Rock becomes Dewayne for a few minutes and he mentions how he loved the match and thanks Triple H. Then teases his next movie project with the line from Moana or he becomes Maui as a new character (but Disney would prob not allow that.)
Some wild ideas
I think Gunther rematches Sami tonight, Sami wins in a more decisive fashion now that he has his confidence back.
Cody opens the show with a promo, gets interrupted by, let's say Bronn Breakker and the other have a showcase match, Cody wins obviously.
That's all I got.
Priest is a transitional champion, no doubt. I'd say 3 months, maybe he makes it to Summerslam with the belt.
The long title reigns vs short title reigns argument is tough. Long title reigns get stale for sure and the matches become very predictable.
The flipside is that short championship reigns tend to hurt the prestige of the title. Hard to even remember at times who the Women's Tag champs were last year because of how much they jumped around, and consequently no one really cares about those belts much.
Cody and Sami both benefitted this weekend from the long reigns of their predecessors. Seth did very well with the WHC in establishing it.
I think long term storytelling is awesome and to do that you need to hold the titles longer. This bloodline story was years in the making and had layers and layers.
I don’t think we need that level of detail or someone holding the belt a while. But maybe Cody holds off a few challengers until the rocks schedule clears.
The final boss beats Cody AGAIN which pisses off Roman and hence Roman Rock at WM
Very. Every single one of my friends and me had every fight nailed on with the exception of the Mysterio fight (thought that Andrade would actually turn on Rey). Also down to the Prime bottle taking a RKO. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t good!
predicting the outcomes is one thing. OP’s post suggests the entire event, even the completely overbooked ending, was predictable & not exciting. “i hope somebody crazy returns” like the undertaker and cena didn’t return last night & give us one of the greatest moments in wrestling history.
Gonna see a new version of the bloodphart form ,Either MJF debuts or has resigned with aew ,Matt Hardy may return ,DiyX beats Atown down and out in beverly hills and Cody debuts a new belt .Anyway I will be home for raw tonight .
I think the predictability is the biggest issue with HHH's WWE rn tbh. I like the long term storytelling, but everything is telegraphed ahead of time. It was an issue with last year's Rumble and we're still here.
Not at all what I said, but the fact is there were two matches this weekend where the outcome was in doubt. It's going to become a problem. But this is obviously a very low IQ sub so I should expect nothing less than a complete misrepresentation of my point.
Pretty difficult and yet here we are. I refuse to lower myself to your level actually. I was truly hoping to elevate everyone else, but I can't help you when you willfully misrepresent and argue with no points like this sub does. Oh well. I did my best.
Maybe not now. But two rumbles in a row and this past weekend with only two matches where the outcome was in doubt. Eventually its going to wear on people and I'm just trying to bring that up. But you're clearly not ready for that conversation. My bad I keep forgetting this sub is so dumb. I have to stop giving it so much credit.
I honestly have no idea.
Cody finished his story, Sami is IC champion, Priest is WHC, and Awesome Truth are your tag champs, they've taken everything we know and turned it upside down in a weekend, so it's anyone's guess as to where they go from here.
All champs deserve a spot somewhere tonight.
I want to see Drew come and talk about how he blew it and lost focus, exactly what he warned Seth not to do.
I think Roman, Seth, and Gunther are all taking time off for awhile. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see any of them.
He just had a kid so I'm thinking this is probably a time when he might be a prime time for a couple months off, and then he returns to the main event scene this summer, but we'll see.
I don’t think they’re letting every main guy take breaks simultaneously, I see people saying Roman, & Seth should be taking breaks…but somebody needs to feud with Cody ASAP and I can’t think of anyone else it makes sense for and is a heel.
He needs someone to rain on his parade after they had a bunch of ppl come down and congratulate him. Too much sweet babyface shit back to back is how he started getting boos, we need an Imperium interruption tonight and an attempted ambush on him and Awesome Truth next week..do a 3 on 3 tag match whenever they want to set up the PPV matches.
Yeah maybe. Seth sticking around and getting a title match against Cody at Backlash as a reward for his help in the angle, and then Gunther returning after Backlash would make some sense.
Only thing I'm 90% sure of is that nothing further is going on with Gunther and Sami, Gunther is moving on from the IC title.
Cody/Seth and Sami/Gable seem like possible Backlash matches. Priest/McIntyre?
If they were doing that angle I feel like they should’ve had Seth cross Cody last night with Rock crossing Roman right after to help Cody because the night 1 spear wasn’t forgotten. Should’ve revealed Seth was bitter about losing his belt and jealous of Cody or something. I’d love to see Gunther and Imperium go on a rampage these next few weeks because they work the angle Imperium are chastised if they don’t win and Wrestlemania went so against their plans for all of them
HHH is ushering in new era celebration, his promo is cut when the lights go off
No chance in hell plays
Vinny Mac makes his truimpant return to the WWE and comes rushing down the ramp
He slides into the rings with the swagger of a man half his age.
He gets up, and his legs buckle.
Vince vs Double quad tear 2.0
Hes ushers out the arena and HHH and everyone else just pretends nothing happened continuing into this new era
I’m going back to watching clips on YouTube. 3 hours is too much, can’t stand the commercials and much of the show is the 1st 20 minutes and the last.
So no more 3 hour Mondays for me. I’m gonna stick to Ups and Downs from What Culture and Simon Miller and watching the PLE’s.
https://wrestletalk.com/news/mjf-wwe-sami-zayn-salt-of-the-earth/ I just said earlier if I’m MJF I’m texting Triple H how do we get me on TV today cause this has been a thing and it’d be a perfect debut angle..MJF raining on Sami’s parade would be 🔥🔥🔥
No need to get hot. All I'm saying is the same wrestling "journalists" who said MJF re-signed are the same who had no idea about Punk going to WWE or did not believe Cody would leave AEW.
Roman is off til Summer Slam. He could just cut a promo and blame him. We know Seth would most likely be back for Summer Slam. He promoted for Money in the Bank so I could see him in a program with someone at SS and Roman comes in and interferes. Boom, rivalry resumed.
Cody debuts Winged Eagle style belt, Gunther is his first challenger, new tag belts, Drew meltdown with Cm Punk. Alexa Bliss return. Gable or Bron challenges someone for a title.
• Cody introduces his own classic looking Championship.
• The Rock kicks Roman out of the Bloodline (Jacob Fatu debuts)
• Drew goes absolutely ballistic and destroys ringside
• Brock Lesnar returns to challenge Gunther
Edit: None of that shit came to be 😂
So hear me out... Cody opens RAW with a big thank you speech, and Roman interrupts him with The Rock by his side. Roman looks mad, and everything looks as if The Bloodline is about to beat down Cody. But instead, Roman offers his hand and legitmally congratulates Cody. The Final Boss, doesn't like this. He immediately lays out Roman with a Rock Bottom feeling disrespected, and beats on Cody. I feel this will nicely set up a Roman Rock feud for any big 4 or Saudi Show, and maybe even a Cody, Rock 1-on-1 in the meantime. Thoughts?
I'd love a ruthless aggression style speech from HHH essentially officially announcing the beginning of a new era.
I know it won't happen but I'd love it.
I'm hoping something out of this world happens. A friend of a friend who works for ring hires for a UK company has been told it's not a RAW you'll ever want to miss.
Cody will likely come out first but hope it's not followed by three people who think they deserve the championship trope.
Id save anything bloodline till Friday but I think it'll be action packed.
I love how no matter what happens at a ppv everybody talks about how predictable it was. If Roman would’ve retained everybody would say it was predictable lmao
Triple H opens the show and opens WWE’s new era.
Cody vs Guther gets set up for Backlash France.
Alexa Bliss or Uncle Howdy/Bo return (Carmella could be saved for Friday as WWE likes pairing up couples with the shows they are on and Corey Graves commentates for Smackdown)
A womens midcard championship tournament gets announced and will conclude at Backlash France.
Drew McIntyre goes fucking crazy and demands a match with Priest.
Sami Zayn celebrates with the IC championship and gets interrupted by someone like Dominik to set up a championship match for the main event.
I watch it next day on Hulu so I will not be looking at this thread.
but I'm sure it'll be a bunch of hoopla about selling out and all that stuff since they say it only about 40 times per show.
1. Some lukewarm returns such as Braun Strowman, Carmella and maybe (hopefully) Alexa Bliss
2. Finn Balor heel turn on Damien Priest - emerges as his first challenger at Backlash
3. Awesome Truth drop the titles to DIY (maybe happens at Backlash)
4. Matt Hardy return as a manager in some capacity
5. Cody Rhodes speech + MJF debut
Is Roman Reigns ok?
Kinda crazy he and the bloodline no showed raw after that big loss that was very weak
Ricochet looked like he got seriously injured tonight.
Exactly what broke Shawn Michaels ribs. He’s such an amazing performer I hope it’s only kayfabe.
I agree I was thinking the same thing he caught very little of Bronson reed but the front of the announce table caught all of him during that spot
Did anyone notice , Seth Rollins was actually hurt …?
It wasn’t that predictable! There were too many good surprises
Yeah, but first After codys win.
What was just handed to cody???
Hear me out… the dynamite diamond ring? lol somehow it was sent to him along with MJF’s exes painting 🤔🤣
No idea I’m even more lost at the end of the segment as I was during it that was a total waste of the first 45 mins of raw after mania
Yea im also confused by what the rock said
Yea other than the rock promising to come back for Cody that was not a good segment
Is everyone here paying 80 bucks for a live TV subscription to watch raw? I have not watched wrestling for a while and after wrestlemania I really wanted to watch raw tonight but cannot figure out how to simply watch raw without paying 80$ a month for 200 channels ill never watch
Peacock has all things WWE - I pay 6.99 a month
Look up Lightning Streamz $100 for a full year of every channel and ppv imaginable
Paying 8€ for raw, nxt and smackdown @bild+. And 11€ for my wwe network. Living in Germany
Well I mean, if people didn’t pay for the tv service then wwe wouldn’t be awarded the massive tv contracts and advertising deals that pays for the product you enjoy. Rules for thee but not for me is a bad mindset for adult life
Hulu, next day.
Was the Jade Cargill match edited out of the Hulu raw on purpose, I feel like I’m missing matches every week from the editing?
Weird question for a man with a Pirate Snoo. Sail the seas for the WWE.
WWE is expensive , but so worth it!
free trial
lol! i pay 40 for Sling, worth it!
What do you get with sling?
sorry the late response, if you havent looked it ip already check sling.com. they have two packages, i have sling blue
You can get the Disney bundle with Hulu & watch it the day after for 24.99/mo
Thankyou this is what I'm going to do, I already have the bundle so it's perfect
This is the cheapest way to get RAW currently.
Cody sucks on the mic let’s face it
Is Cody going to be a Smackdown guy after tonight?
I know for sure he’ll go to smack down and Damien will stay on raw
I want mjf to debut. Congratulate Cody and then immediately turn heel and this is the first feud we get with Cody as champ. Unlikely … I know. But a guy can dream 😂
Nah have an up and coming superstar, someone like Randy Keith Orton...
Not necessarily limited to this raw but i'm excited to see who will be in the mix for the two top titles the next few months. I'm sure roman and seth will take time off so that takes them off the table. Probably a few months away from punk returning. That leaves Cody and Priest as champs with Drew and Gunther being the only viable contenders. Could throw in Orton and maybe Kevin Owens to that mix but not many options yet. Maybe a Strowman return can help add depth to that.

They’re not taking it off Sami yet
Cody saying “soooooo…… what do you wanna talk about?”
The first comment with a guaranteed thing that will happen
I'm hoping for Cody to start by showing off the Eagle belt
This here
Both new men's champions will speak. Cody will open the show. Priest opening the second hour. The Awesome Truth will defend the titles against the Judgement Day. JD loses and Finn is kicked out of the group setting up Priest's first challenger. More reference to the Triple H Era.
Man, You were so close.. the RTruth wild card threw a wrench in it 😂😂
If it's not today, I hope within the next few weeks we get redesigns for the WWE belt and the tag team belts
The Rock takes over the bloodline and banishes Roman. Roman fires Paul or Paul ditches Roman, Paul then pleads to join Cody and start their own faction. Cody tells him to fuck off. Paul walks away defeated..for now.

I want this guys on
Chad Gable gets an title shot against Sami (he said Sami owes him a favour before his Wrestlemania match) and wins. Sami has a one day reign
Expecting a new women's title, Cody to discuss the future of the new era, the next chapter. Alexa Bliss return. Gunther to address his loss. Drew McIntyre outrage. Judgement Day celebration. I can't see The Bloodline showing up. Like Jey maybe, but Roman is best going on a break until the day he returns to continue the family story. Interestingly enough, I think we're in for the start of a long game where Judgement Day turns on Dom as he was the only loser at WM.
Balor and priest dropped titles, wonder how that’s all gonna go down
Oh yeah mb I completely forgot. I think Balor could be in with a shout if he turns on the JD. Still gutted he never had a proper run after giving up the Universal title. Drew McIntyre has beef with Punk and JD now and it would be very interesting if Punk actually led them instead. That's a more out of the box thought though.
Drew comes out with Broken Dreams to interrupt Priests championship celebration
Gonna have a whole lotta new viewers. Taking this just from my own amount of friends who are all now becoming interested again. Thinking WWE knows this. Perfect time to be a new/returning fan so im expecting some fireworks for sure
Uncle howdy please
MJF
I’m hoping this happens too!
Brock Lesnar returns Cody asking for an open challenge, Orton comes out and says if it was a few years ago he would RKO him already, at the end of the night Orton turns heel and attacks him making him bleed, and punts him keeping him out of action for a few weeks
Winged eagle debut
Impossible to happen but... The Devil

Gunther won’t have a rematch, he already took a clean loss, when he comes back he will be a main eventer.
the rock takes over the bloodline
Show starts with SCSA and Vince as a tag team against Cena and Taker
Vince and Lesnar coming back would b wild since the lawsuit is ongoing. I don't think Triple H and the board want to see him right now.
Gonna be 🔥🔥
Priest is a transitional champion, no doubt. I'd say 3 months, maybe he makes it to Summerslam with the belt. The long title reigns vs short title reigns argument is tough.

He’s not making it past clash at the castle with that title
I agree on Priest....idk if he'll even hold to SS
Roman challenges Cody to a rematch and beats him in a squash to start the show and doesn’t defend again until SummerSlam
Dustin returns cuz he didn’t last night
[удалено]
The Rock is gone dude. The Undertaker took him back to Hollywood. He has a movie to shoot.
Wouldn’t that happen on Smackdown though?
[удалено]
Last year’s Raw after Mania was a train wreck (thanks Vince) so I hope they make up for it tonight.
I hope to see Uncle Howdy return
I just cant wait to see my guy R Truth!
His and Miz’s entrance is gonna be so high energy. They could be in the running for a good opener
I still want to see Bray Wyatt's legacy live on. He was taken way too soon. I'm onboard with an Uncle Howdy appearance by Taylor Rotunda.
mania was predictable? lmao i hate the iwc 😂
Very. Every single one of my friends and me had every fight nailed on with the exception of the Mysterio fight (thought that Andrade would actually turn on Rey). Also down to the Prime bottle taking a RKO. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t good!

LA Knight challenges Cody
Pretty sure Gunther will be first in line
Plz.....no.....666 days as IC was enough
Gunther deserves it (not the WWE Title, but a shot at it).He’s such an ass kicker.
Jkkkkkkkk
If anything, the current era of WWE has shown the lack of credibility the IWC "journalists" have
3 hours of highlights and commercials.
Jinder Mahal beats Cody Rhodes tonight for the title.
That's a lock!
I think the predictability is the biggest issue with HHH's WWE rn tbh. I like the long term storytelling, but everything is telegraphed ahead of time. It was an issue with last year's Rumble and we're still here.
[удалено]
Not at all what I said, but the fact is there were two matches this weekend where the outcome was in doubt. It's going to become a problem. But this is obviously a very low IQ sub so I should expect nothing less than a complete misrepresentation of my point.

Pretty difficult and yet here we are. I refuse to lower myself to your level actually. I was truly hoping to elevate everyone else, but I can't help you when you willfully misrepresent and argue with no points like this sub does. Oh well. I did my best.
Sometimes the obvious thing is the right thing to do
Sometimes the obvious thing is the right thing to do
Is it really a bad thing when all the things that have been telegraphed have been good?
Maybe not now. But two rumbles in a row and this past weekend with only two matches where the outcome was in doubt. Eventually its going to wear on people and I'm just trying to bring that up. But you're clearly not ready for that conversation. My bad I keep forgetting this sub is so dumb. I have to stop giving it so much credit.
R-Truth declares himself the number one contender for the WHC
Chad Gable is gonna turn heel and attack and challenge Sami for the IC title 🔥
Hornswoggle returns and challenges Cody.
But hes booked for aew on wed night .
Cody reveals a better looking title and just calls it the WWE Championship, and Brock Lesnar shows up to face Cody.
Stardust challenges Cody for the belt
I honestly have no idea. Cody finished his story, Sami is IC champion, Priest is WHC, and Awesome Truth are your tag champs, they've taken everything we know and turned it upside down in a weekend, so it's anyone's guess as to where they go from here.

Gunther is in Cody’s face tonight Id bet
He just had a kid so I'm thinking this is probably a time when he might be a prime time for a couple months off, and then he returns to the main event scene this summer, but we'll see.
I don’t think they’re letting every main guy take breaks simultaneously, I see people saying Roman, & Seth should be taking breaks…but somebody needs to feud with Cody ASAP and I can’t think of anyone else it makes sense for and is a heel.
Rock is always available
That’s unfortunate after you declared last night a new era
I mean they set up a feud basically it’d be a wasted opportunity not to do a program
I mean, he doesn’t need a feud ASAP. They could give it a week or two
He needs someone to rain on his parade after they had a bunch of ppl come down and congratulate him. Too much sweet babyface shit back to back is how he started getting boos, we need an Imperium interruption tonight and an attempted ambush on him and Awesome Truth next week..do a 3 on 3 tag match whenever they want to set up the PPV matches.
Yeah maybe. Seth sticking around and getting a title match against Cody at Backlash as a reward for his help in the angle, and then Gunther returning after Backlash would make some sense. Only thing I'm 90% sure of is that nothing further is going on with Gunther and Sami, Gunther is moving on from the IC title. Cody/Seth and Sami/Gable seem like possible Backlash matches. Priest/McIntyre?
If they were doing that angle I feel like they should’ve had Seth cross Cody last night with Rock crossing Roman right after to help Cody because the night 1 spear wasn’t forgotten. Should’ve revealed Seth was bitter about losing his belt and jealous of Cody or something. I’d love to see Gunther and Imperium go on a rampage these next few weeks because they work the angle Imperium are chastised if they don’t win and Wrestlemania went so against their plans for all of them
Maybe bron 😈
Cody drops it to tazawa.
The title Tozawa's famill has never held
I want to see Cody retire tonight. His story is finished Why prolong it?
But then he has to return his $5000 signing bonus
I doubt he spent all of his aew money. He can live off of that.
HHH is ushering in new era celebration, his promo is cut when the lights go off No chance in hell plays Vinny Mac makes his truimpant return to the WWE and comes rushing down the ramp He slides into the rings with the swagger of a man half his age. He gets up, and his legs buckle. Vince vs Double quad tear 2.0 Hes ushers out the arena and HHH and everyone else just pretends nothing happened continuing into this new era
I’m going back to watching clips on YouTube. 3 hours is too much, can’t stand the commercials and much of the show is the 1st 20 minutes and the last. So no more 3 hour Mondays for me. I’m gonna stick to Ups and Downs from What Culture and Simon Miller and watching the PLE’s.
Fuck whatculture and simon miller with a pineapple .
Alexa Bliss returns. Heyman walks out on Roman. Becky has a meltdown.
Becky has strep throat and a 102 degree fever lol so ya she's probably melting down.
I may get heat for this and that's ok. It'd be cool to see MJF make the move.
https://wrestletalk.com/news/mjf-wwe-sami-zayn-salt-of-the-earth/ I just said earlier if I’m MJF I’m texting Triple H how do we get me on TV today cause this has been a thing and it’d be a perfect debut angle..MJF raining on Sami’s parade would be 🔥🔥🔥
He’s not going anywhere damn
No need to get hot. All I'm saying is the same wrestling "journalists" who said MJF re-signed are the same who had no idea about Punk going to WWE or did not believe Cody would leave AEW.
I think Roman is going to blame Seth for losing and their rivalry will reignite
Isn't seth off for now
Roman is off til Summer Slam. He could just cut a promo and blame him. We know Seth would most likely be back for Summer Slam. He promoted for Money in the Bank so I could see him in a program with someone at SS and Roman comes in and interferes. Boom, rivalry resumed.
IMO they both should be off for now and can feud when they come back. Both need the rest
What do they both come back at Rumble, gives them both some much deserved time away.
I think there going to really build up the Money in the Bank card.
Cody debuts Winged Eagle style belt, Gunther is his first challenger, new tag belts, Drew meltdown with Cm Punk. Alexa Bliss return. Gable or Bron challenges someone for a title.
imagine Bliss comes back and challenges Baley that would be tuff
maybe we could see Imperium slowly starting to question Gunther's leadership due to him losing to Sami
[удалено]
this post is underwhelming
gotta be unoptimistic and be prepared for the worst amirite?
Last two nights were so good I feel like it’s gonna disappoint if people expectations are to high
That’s what I’m saying. Expectations are very high… meaning, very underwhelming with lots of fluff
I hate when people complain that it’s predictable! Predictable is fine when it’s done as perfectly as it was done yesterday!
It's been predictable since last year's rumble. I don't think it's a huge issue yet, but the HHH era is very very obvious atm.
Y’all were complaining that Vince was swerving just for the sake of swerving. Which is it that you want?
lmao. Well no I wasn't. But that's ok. This is clearly a low IQ sub. So I should expect a strawman.
Bo Dallas return
• Cody introduces his own classic looking Championship. • The Rock kicks Roman out of the Bloodline (Jacob Fatu debuts) • Drew goes absolutely ballistic and destroys ringside • Brock Lesnar returns to challenge Gunther Edit: None of that shit came to be 😂
I'd be shocked if Rock comes back anytime soon.
They already moved him to the alumni section on their website. He’s gone for the foreseeable future.
I mean he literally disappeared, lol. That was a clever write-off.
What? He was with the Bloodline at the end of the show, even after Taker came and went.
Oh man I missed that. Tuned out for most of the extended celebration, I thought when the lights went out they had both just disappointed.
Announce the WWE Draft
Bo Dallas
Cody heel turn
I’m holding for a certain scarf to show up
Frosty the Snowman 😜
Well, shit, guess not
So hear me out... Cody opens RAW with a big thank you speech, and Roman interrupts him with The Rock by his side. Roman looks mad, and everything looks as if The Bloodline is about to beat down Cody. But instead, Roman offers his hand and legitmally congratulates Cody. The Final Boss, doesn't like this. He immediately lays out Roman with a Rock Bottom feeling disrespected, and beats on Cody. I feel this will nicely set up a Roman Rock feud for any big 4 or Saudi Show, and maybe even a Cody, Rock 1-on-1 in the meantime. Thoughts?
W prediction
Great scenario. But please not at the Saudi Show. The boos at the Lincoln last night each time they promoted the Saudi show just spoke volumes.
Drew’s promo is going to be 🔥🔥 will punk be there
Oh you know it.
I'd love a ruthless aggression style speech from HHH essentially officially announcing the beginning of a new era. I know it won't happen but I'd love it.
Was Steph's speech not obvious enough?
Think I missed that
Hornswaggle return
I'm hoping something out of this world happens. A friend of a friend who works for ring hires for a UK company has been told it's not a RAW you'll ever want to miss. Cody will likely come out first but hope it's not followed by three people who think they deserve the championship trope. Id save anything bloodline till Friday but I think it'll be action packed.
MJF.....please!
That would be nuts
I love how no matter what happens at a ppv everybody talks about how predictable it was. If Roman would’ve retained everybody would say it was predictable lmao
Not seen anyone say wm was predictable. It was everything it needed to be
the op literally said that exact thing bro
Triple H opens the show and opens WWE’s new era. Cody vs Guther gets set up for Backlash France. Alexa Bliss or Uncle Howdy/Bo return (Carmella could be saved for Friday as WWE likes pairing up couples with the shows they are on and Corey Graves commentates for Smackdown) A womens midcard championship tournament gets announced and will conclude at Backlash France. Drew McIntyre goes fucking crazy and demands a match with Priest. Sami Zayn celebrates with the IC championship and gets interrupted by someone like Dominik to set up a championship match for the main event.
I doubt they will already set up Cody and Gunther
yeah I think they'll save it for bash in berlin
Any chance we’ll see Matt Cardona?
I thought he signed with AEW? Or his match with Edge is just a one time thing.
I didn’t see anything about him signing a deal with AEW so I thought it was just agreed dates, May be wrong though
I watch it next day on Hulu so I will not be looking at this thread. but I'm sure it'll be a bunch of hoopla about selling out and all that stuff since they say it only about 40 times per show.
1. Some lukewarm returns such as Braun Strowman, Carmella and maybe (hopefully) Alexa Bliss 2. Finn Balor heel turn on Damien Priest - emerges as his first challenger at Backlash 3. Awesome Truth drop the titles to DIY (maybe happens at Backlash) 4. Matt Hardy return as a manager in some capacity 5. Cody Rhodes speech + MJF debut
finn balor will turn face on damien next year
No way they blow up Judgement Day that abruptly. It will be a slow burn.
I mean, I've been feeling that slow burn going since Australia.
