WWE Discussion thread- Raw/SD/PPV

What's up with the old guy going to every show wearing a Trindad/Tabago t-shirt and holding a flag? He could likely buy the whole 3rd world country for what he's spending on plane tickets and front row tickets to every wrestling show.

Main event you know 100% Brock is going to cost Cody the match and set up the final match of the 3 at SummerSlam.

I was thinking same thing tonight.

[RedLabelRecords]

No way I'm paying for Peacock to watch. I don't do ppv anymore. Anyone with me?

[packman80]

Liv Morgan aka scary spice.

[packman80]

Well there was a twist we never saw coming.

[cdub6238]

Started late but getting caught up..

Holy hell what a MitB match. Damn near everyone had at least 1 huge spot. It might just be London, but Butch and LA Knight were insanely over, yeah!

Ricochet doing what he does...hell Butch with a moonsault from top of a ladder...even Paul hit a nice Frog Splash on Priest on top of a ladder.

Speaking of Paul...how he didn't break his freaking neck on that brutal looking Spanish Fly through the table is beyond me..I know it was the planned spot, but they should called some kinda audible after getting hung up on the ropes to start...nasty nasty landing; that said..kudos to Paul, might be a douche but he's tough as hell

Women's tag was basic match we always see...minus the obvious heel on heel turn at the end...

I can get putting the titles back on Liv/Raquel...they were probably suppose to keep them for a bit anyways before the injury...but I don't understand the point of a Shayna turn...neither her or Rousey are believable faces...

Riddle/WalterGuenther was good as expected...but rather shorter than I expected..and definitely didn't expect Riddle to tap...good to see Drew back as well

[cdub6238]

Rhodes...super over...even got his own chant lol

Dom..still heat magnet lol

And Rhea...damn..Buddy Matthews is a lucky man lol

Match was fine...basically a glorified squash...surprised a wild Bork Laser didn't show up..

Oh hi John Cena...Night is full of surprises...oh, time to job to another youngster..blah lol

[Jolten Joe]

pretty dull PPV overall with literally no surprises other the The USO's and Shayna but anyone who had been paying attention the the subtle hints the last 6 months or so wouldn't have been that shocked.

So Drew and Cena weren't surprises?

I thought it was a solid event. Mens MITB was far better then the womens.

Good to see Drew back, but I would have preferred to see him heel and going after Rollins, but I guess with Priest as the MITB winner that wasnt going to happen.

I hope they arent going to try to make Rousey a face again, because I think the fans will be cheering for Baszler. Liv and Raquel the tag champs again...not that anyone really cares. Those belts are meaningless.

Gunther/Riddle and Cody/Dom were exactly what they needed to be. Really not looking forward to Cody/Lesnar 3 which will probably start building on Raw.

Rollins/Balor was really good. And the tension in Judgement Day should be interesting to watch. I wouldnt mind seeing Priest cash in successfully when its time.

Usos/Roman & Solo was alright. Im kind of over the whole Bloodline Storyline at this point. It just seems like its dragging to the finish line. And sadly the finish line probably isnt going to be until Mania.

Dull? Wow..you must be really fun at parties

I'm as negative/critical as can be of WWE, but this was far from "dull".

Even in the "predictable" matches (Cody/Dom, Guenther/Riddle, Rollins/Balor) the crowd was soooooooo hot, it made it entertaining

And dull? Did you even watch the Men's MitB match??

The women's was a bit sloppier, and Trish definitely didn't belong...neither did Miss LWO, but at least she had a nice spot with that Code Red from the top of the ladder. Still decent enough

Seth/Finn was fine...it started to pick up but then just ended out of nowhere imo.

Main Event...again wasn't about the wrestling, but the storytelling. Roman continues to play the crowds like a fiddle lol Jey with the baby face hot tag and Rock "spit punch" was nice touch. Pinning Roman was a nice twist

[packman80]

Was not Dom/Cody supposed to main event? I thought it was shown on Smackdown they would be the main event? Did Brock no show the PPV so they had to change things up? My guess was when it was announced as the main event Brock was going to screw Cody to set up SS.

[Jolten Joe]

MITB matches are all the same to me. 5 guys/gals running around hitting spots with multiple painful fake climbs that take way too long and of course you've got to have minimum 3-4 fake reaches for the briefcase that results in it spinning like Cena's spinner belt.

Drew nobody really cares about anymore he'll be gone again by Survivor Series most likely either due to injury or them just having nothing for him.

It was revealed that Cena was in London several days ago so some stupid segment involving him was to be expected.

Rhodes/Dom went about 10 min. longer than it should have. Having Rhodes struggle against Dom only makes him look weaker than he already has.

Thankfully Rhea Ripley's tits saved the PPV

Umm..the dom/cody match didn't even go 10 minutes and cody didn't look weak at all..half the match seemed like dom running away and rhea getting involved. Nobody cares about drew? That's not true at all. Cena was a surprise to me..I didn't read anything about him being in London. If you don't like money in the bank matches then yeah an event called money in the bank isn't going to be for you. Crowd was hot for everything..it wasn't an all timer but still very enjoyable

Exactly

Ok? It was still basically a squash..don't see how it made Cody look weak. I think it shouldn't have been on the PPV if Brock wasn't going to either cost Cody the match or interfere afterwards bc without that it was a glorified Raw squash

You are the worst person that posts on this thread.

Why do you even watch Wrestling? I'm watching the mens MiTB match right now. Terrific match, super hot crowd. It's FUN. Wrestling is suppose to be FUN.

You crap all over what has been perceived as a great PPV and the only positive remarks is to be a perv? You never seen a pair of boobs before? This forum would be better without your posting.

Quite creative spots:

- Iyo Sky handcuffing Lynch/Bayley (and climbing over Bayley, no less) to win
- Jey Uso kicking out of Reign's pin attempt and "accidentally" low-blowing him in the process

On the pre-show, they were saying there were 3 main events. WWE likes to call random matches "main events".

[bblair_2002]

When Bayley came out for the women's match,the announcer said she represented The Judgement Day lol. Not sure if anyone else noticed it.

Yeah, there's been plenty of MITB matches before so the spots get pretty repetitive, but I thought that was a really innovative way to end the women's match.

Yep, I was just listening to it at that moment and not watching, so I thought maybe I just misheard.

[packman80]

So we going to see breakup of JD and perhaps have match were Priest and Balor have match for the MITB case?
