Raw ended so flat. Women’s title match should have just main evented

Mohammed Albanai

This crowd was terrible but part of that is WWE training their audience. The only time they reacted in the women's matches was, interferences and the devils kiss, which is a shame as the matches were good. Oba got a pop but the beat down got no reaction

griffin martin

was at the show! felt it was fine (like most of 2026 raw, tried to get the crowd loud for lyra and sol ruca but…) my biggest, and irrational, problem was that the celebrity they brought out HAD WORKED TICKETS! he came to his seat right before the segment lol

Hollywood33

Never thought I'd say it... But I'm really starting to miss Seth. Enjoyed SNME, though!

Dominic Walls

Bayley is back, Bronson Reed looks better then ever, Big Daddy Otis is back and we ended the show with a literal crime on television. Pretty good show imo.

Jake Miller

WEEEELLLLLLLLL IT'S THE MID SHOW.

Sean Steez

Despite the lack of star-power that’s been plaguing Raw, this was a really enjoyable Raw, nearly spoiled by the FLATTEST of endings. (Not-so) Big Bronson’s return felt even bigger with the attack on Oba tonight, an incredibly rare win for the vision. The Bayley return took away the sting of Lyra’s great heel work being rewarded with another SOL-snatcher. The Liv-Becky-Stephanie triple threat should be a great match, just wish they could get creative with setting it up. Very good show, with an absolutely horrible ending. 3.5 Ollies out of 5

Don

Last week, Luke wondered why LA Knight didn't address getting attacked by OTM the previous week and my retort is simply that LA Knight got no time for that. He is the same man who recovered from Tsunamis like it was nothing more than stubbing a toe when that same attack caused Roman Reigns to miss a month of TV. WWE has been disappointing these past 2 days, personally. They are relying way too much on interference now. Oba/Bron was a waste of time with its dq finish and tonight's raw only had 1 clean win in 5 matches. I didn't mind the Hendry/JD shenanigans since it was a match built on a comedy skit. With the display of names on the canvas on Sunday, it might be fun to emblazon "Support WrestleTalk" if I can ever afford it

I think it’s interesting that Jacob’s method to leadership is more methodical so that might be a good way to eventually raise the question is Jacob a better right hand man than jimmy or Jay

Lily Petal

1. Damn Bronson, that is how you come back! 2. I love Becky, she plays her role to perfection! 3. Bron looked like a beast, finally! 4. Just give LA his title shot against Roman so he can lose and we can move on. 5. BAYLEY!!! 6. What the f*ck is a Funko pop and what is WWE doing to Dom, JD, Je'Von and Joe??? 7. A second's women's match???? Much better than WM between Liv and Stephanie but I was waiting for the Judgement Day interference so we can get to the 3 way at MITB with Liv, Stephanie, and Becky. 8. Jimmy and Jey got their asses handed to them last week and Jey has an itty bitty bandage on his forehead. Nice follow up. 9. 956 (Royce and OTN have a group name ) blew up a car. Ok, sure, I guess. 10. I am loving Monday Night Wars Tag Team Turmoil!

Every time there's a Vision segment I start to get into it. Then I see Austin Theory and my interest evaporates. I would feel bad for the guy if this wasn't his 5th go around of trying to get over.

James H.

Let's do some pros and cons Pro: Bron looks interested again. It just took Bronson coming back. Con: The Vision is still all together. And I don't get how there can be so many factions that "run Raw" but they dont interact with each other. Pro: Bronson looks great! Hopefully this will help him stay away from injuries. Con: I think you need to recalibrate the Tsunami Index. They dont hit as hard now. Pro: Ethan Page continues to be super fun to watch. Con: What are we doing with Je'von? Come on. Pro: Tons of time for the women. About 20 minutes for the title match. Con: Liv is still champ. It is just not interesting. Way too predictable every week. Con: They are trying so hard to make the Bloodline and Royce Keyes story work, but it doesn't feel like it is connecting at all.

Brett A

Ill say it even if Netflix censors it, but the only person who gets over in a danhausen segment is danhausen. No one is better off having worked with merch man. Kit is putting over unknown comedians, The judgment day somehow got worse. Even liv and Dom didnt come out of Knicks night for the better. And now they have their sights on Gooner. I guess the honky tonk man has more pull backstage than I thought cause Gunthers lows since beating his streak have been the lowest and the highs have been few and far between. I dont get how you have nothing for someone like Gunther.

Sedin Magic15

Can we talk about how Stephanie's left shoulder was no where near the mat when Liv "pinned" her?

Brent

So many interference and distraction spots between this Raw and Sunday's Night Main Event, WWE has gone back in time. I was a bit surprised that Breakker won clean. Also the adverts are getting annoying when instead of showing it live, Breakker spearing the Miz, Kit, and that Alabama comedian was shown as a replay. I think Roman needs to send some video packages on the weeks he isn't going to make an appearance. I don't understand why there isn't an actual promo between Roman and Penta for next week's Raw in Mexico City. Just having them do their poses last week is all we get before they face each other in the match. Way not to sell it, WWE. Speaking of undermining the talent, Vaquer should have won. They are about to head to Mexico and South America and the women's champ is still Liv. It's a huge mistake. Also if Liv lost the title, there could have been a MitB qualifier between Liv, Raquel, and Roxanne which could have been fun but nope WWE will go with the most boring option. Sometime last week someone was saying the G1 was a reset for NJPW and All In was a reset for AEW. WWE seriously needs a reset badly. It can start with breaking up the Vision so the Brons go to Heyman and torching the Judgment Day. WWE creative is so horrible right now. At least the wrestlers can control the in-ring action so it isn't all horrible.

Brent

You seriously don't know what a Funko Pop is?

Handsome Kian

Feels like they overthought the ending. I get the thought that “every bloodline story before was in the main event so it’d be bad to change it as soon as Royce gets involved” but sometimes, the match you’ve been hyping up for the longest amount of time should probably end the show.

Ryan Firth

On this weeks episode of THE NUMBERS GAME owned by "Lets end the main event with a title face shot corp" i did have a prety good time! the TSUNAMI is back! Now just waiting for the vision split! Needing all these guys to take down oba really isnt making Breaker look strong. I genuinly love the becky and steph Duo the go very well together. I wish Lyra would have won the triple threat but oh look bailey stuff again! they are HARD PUSHING Sol... JD beeing called a pop figurine with jvon running in with a giant head was prety great although it does clash with his more serious vibe hes been building up. Roice angle is prety cool, very "streets" coated. trios titles?? Can we please just make Chad Angle/ kurt Gable already and stop with this nothing Charater for Chad! Good fun 3.5 out of 5? PS. Big Cass: im here to stack bodies Also Big Cass: im not here to stack bodies im realy here to win titles... Um... okay? I dont care.

Scott Adams

The 946 isn’t the worst idea, but the wrestlers are too new/still developing for the audience to care in my opinion. OTM just came up and were honestly just a mid-tier NXT tag team. Royce hasn’t done anything bad, but he hasn’t done anything great to make you think he’s a monster threat.

Graff

With how mid this show and really the rest of WWE has felt. I have no reason to even think of going to worlds collide. Even if we could get S.E.S. Punk (aka best punk) All Out is looking more like my way. Happy Tuesday Oli & Luke!

Zack Kaltenmeier

I literally turned raw off after the first hour that was quite possibly the dumbest episode in years

Chris deaton

Monday night background noise was meh

Moses

I enjoyed Raw more than usual this week’s I really enjoyed the men’s MITB qualifier, Liv/Stephanie and I’m happy Bayley has decided to stay. + The vision feels like it has some actual direction for the first time in what feels like forever But, a complete nothing burger of main event segment (without Roman) show’s imo that Oli was right about Roman’s “reign of terror” he’s simultaneously the only star,but also Raw’s biggest problem.

Liam Rogers

I’ll admit it was nice to see bayley back, but I felt the rest of the show wasn’t in the right order. From OTM continuing to not really have an understandable motive, the Oba and vision segment, the Miz and kit doing the bottom of the barrel stuff. At the end of the day, raw left me with a head as big as the one Je’von had on.

Florian Groß

This was overwhelmingly... meh. There were high points like the women's matches but also lows, like the Vision opening promo feeling kinda flat and the main event segment. Overall a very mid episode, but that is still better than quite a few of the recent WWE products.

Andrew McMenomy

i don’t know if anyone else agrees with me, but i feel as if WWE (but more specifically, Raw) isn’t even good sports entertainment anymore. bland storytelling, crap finishes each week, and relatively poor in-ring wrestling. in my eyes, not only does AEW have the best bell-to-bell wrestling, but it’s become more ENTERTAINING with feuds intertwining with one another and fantastic week-to-week booking. do better WWE.

Jag

RAW was meh as usual. Bronson does look good and he makes Bron look badass again. All we get is a car on fire in the Bloodline saga. Thats it??? Trips really loves the slow burn story line. I hope this story goes somewhere. Here is what i propose. Jacob turns on bloodline and joins 945678(or whatever is called) but the swerve is that he is not the leader. The true mastermind is LA Knight. We get a Solo heart break. We get Lukes Wargames match. With solo joining the bloodline and they find one more family member. Like a certain brother that can shield him. And if they really want shock and awe, put the belt on knight at MiTb to set up the turn. And roman can win it back at rumble or something for the oba match. It is the only way to prolong this feud all the way past survivor series which can have the stakes that if bloodline wins roman gets a rematch. But knowing wwe. They will find the boring storyline.

Daniel James Baker

So, you know when've gone to a nice restaurant, seen the menu and pick a perfectly stacked juicy burger you like except it just tastes like undercooked cardboard? That was WWE across Sunday and Monday. Not only did SNME taste like reheated fries, RAW was undercooked with mismatched, poorly chosen toppings but good sauce. The opener looked appetizing to start with, big Bronson Reed is back, wonderful stuff, can we separate him and breakker from the vision now please? Oba still coming off strong but two vision beat downs back to back drew a yawn. We hit the good sauce with Steph and Becky and finally something of a look at the new faction for Royce keys but it tasted a bit stale. Chad's humble pie interview could be equated to a flat Pepsi left in the fridge over night, sure it's sweet he's getting TV time but it lacks substance and feels hollow of what made him great. Miz and Kit Wilson arguing with who? I must be an uncultured swine to not know who these celebrities WWE bring out are but what reason do I have to care for them, WWE really appear to be scraping out the barrel of cooking oil at the moment. Men's qualifier fine yet predictable. Solo as always a delight (pew) but I hope we're not separating LA and him too early.. Also, Bryon, please, get some charisma. Women's qualifier felt quite heatless, didn't much care for Bailey to be back but glad sol won. Joe Hendry felt a bit more on form but more tame than it could've been. Lovely tension with Paul, Bron and Bronson. Women's title match should've been the main event, shame Liv retained, would prefer to see a Steph vs Becky match than Liv vs Becky.

Peter Siddorn

Liv and Stephanie shows just because you can give a match time doesn't always mean you should. A whole lot of nothing before the same old copy paste JD ending. Can we just skip the next 3 years so we get to the next tease of the Judgment Day breakup?

Kevin Fleuriot

First, Rest in Peace Butcher 🙏🏾 I haven't seen it yet but I can't wait to hear your confused reactions when Raw isn't from Mexico and Roman isn't facing Penta

Drew Vincent Curwood

WWE have 4 booking ideas and they have worn those out even the hardcore fans are noticing

kyle McAllister

Glad to see Bronson Reed back and looking jacked! But I was more surprised to see Miz and Kit Wilson’s babyface turn when they beat up the celebrity that no one asked to be in our wrestling show. Also, was Logan Paul wearing a wig???

Real One's GEORGIE TUFFS

So annoyed with the SNME result with Femi Md Bron. My wrestling group predictions were dq and I said their is no way the screw over Bron like that, will be a heely win with a 3 count but no, the were cowards again. My 2 favourite wrestlers in WWE are Bron and iyo. Am really struggling with their rubbish booking ATM

Aaron Davies-Friend

Not raw related I apologise but just a small thank you to you both. Just under two years ago I got very ill, mentally and physically struggled to keep going. 4 months ago I got a diagnosis and was medicated properly to finally turn things around, and in doing so pushed myself to run a half marathon, something I thought I’d never thought I’d have the physical ability to do again. In doing so I saved up the All In review a whole week knowing that had to be the soundtrack that got me through the huge milestone. It was full of smiles, laughter and tears and worth the wait to here the pure joy that you both felt around the event. I’ve been listening ever since the wrestlemania 33 podcast way back when and haven’t looked back, you’ve been the soundtrack of the last 10 years of my life, the good and the bad, and I can’t thank you enough for the content you produce for the wrestling community. Congrats to you both on the monumental all in weekend and hopefully to many more years to come. Ps. Titus O’Neil kissed his son on the lips. Still pops me every time.

Wayne Rogers

I can't get very far into an episode of raw, without turning it off and checking the results. As soon as I saw that some random guy got dropped by the miz and liv retained, I felt so deflated. The product is terrible right now.

Wahab Fares

Here’s a question after an awful Sunday Night’s Main Event: who’s worse? “Cody Island” Cody Rhodes from the end of his AEW run or the stale and unbelievably dumb babyface 2026 Cody Rhodes?

Ben Kind

Bronson Reed alongside Bronn Breaker really works for me - when they were both laying out Oba this episode, it felt like a proper dangerous duo. They have really excellent chemistry, and I hope that when they inevitably (hopefully) drop the rest of the vision, they stick together.

CDE

A solid but unremarkable episode. Can we please have some matches end with a clean pin? The in ring action was decent tonight but When nearly every match ends with distractions, dqs or interference, it kills the momentum of a show and it becomes so much more difficult to care. The crowd can’t be expected to react to the first 90% of a match when you are just waiting for the run in or distraction to happen.

oak_slaney

What’s the opposite of, ‘what a crowd!’? It felt like half the crowd were sat watching silently like they’re at the cinema! While I’m happy that Bron is getting a bit more focus on tv, I still hope that he and Bronson will breakaway from the rest of the vision sometime soon.

KidCutty

Well i guess ill bring the positivity to this chat...Again 😂 As a black man, im really happy to see how many different versions of "us" are being represented in the mens and womens division on tv right now 💪🏿 i know people are gonna focus on whatever little nit picks they have but im enjoying WWE overall again since Summerslam and its a shame that its become more of a hot take to say that you liked something online than just hating everything 🤷🏿‍♂️

G the B (Greg the Bastard)

Are Dan and Sullivan booking Raw just now. Seems very mid! Great to see Bayley back though! Also, does WWE know qualifying matches don't need to be triple threats?! Always the same for MITB or Elimination Chamber

FJC Racing

Commentary moment of the week: “Sol has athleticism. Lyra’s experience and skill. Maxxine Dupri… in the vision…” She’s so bland as a character, I thought joining the vision would actually make her feel more interesting but she’s now just a straight up cartoon villain’s accomplice and when you put her in an actually match, man it’s not gripping me.

That Welsh Guy

How was I supposed to know who the good guys were? Nobody randomly stopped mid match to feel bad for hurting their opponents.

Mani Umaria

Are WWE doing some Diet Coke AEW? Are the Vision becoming a poor man’s version of the Death Riders and is burning the USO’s car basically a Lidl version of having Swerve’s house burnt down?

Harry peach

At what point do oli and luke give up and start reviewing smackdown instead

Lukeyboy31

One of the best young talents in the world is dressed like a funko pop.

Challenger_Dark

Well boys it’s happened. I’ve finally given up on wwe and stopped watching. I didn’t watch Sunday nights main event and I didn’t watch raw and I have no desire to. I watched AEW and honestly it was good, but I think my love of wrestling has just faded. I need an extended break. Fuck WWE. Or TKO. Actually fuck them both. I actually feel myself having thus hateful feelings towards them as I think about all the wrestlers they released and all the ways they have fucked over us as fans. I’m done with them. And I mean that. My Mondays and Fridays will be spent watching American football (professional and college) so I’m straight up done watching them.

Brent

I been thinking about the main event segment and one of the things I remembered is that there were adverts after the Usos entrance music started playing. During the advert spots, the Usos and Jacob were just in the ring doing nothing. What they should have done is have a thing of the Usos and Jacob backstage about to head to the ring then go to adverts. Once the adverts are done, then have them come out to their entrance music. I complained about it before but having adverts happening just as the first wrestler comes out ruins the flow. Especially when the adverts are done, then they play a backstage segment unrelated to the match ie the Heyman and Vision backstage segment was played while Vaquer was in the ring while waiting for Liv. It's definitely a thing of cramming adverts but there are better ways to make the shows flow better.

Michael Reu

Im a new patron, any way to get my 2 hours back from last night? What story advanced last night?

Brent

Yeah but it's a cheat code to get more people on the card along with doing screwy finishes that doesn't end the match immediately. Also remember all the first round King/Queen of the Ring qualifiers were fatal 4 ways.

Lily Petal

Not a clue. I am guessing it is a lollipop/sucker.

RealDoubleJ

Pro: everyone got free Frogurt Con: the program is also cursed

Joe O'Leary

Bron Breakker isn't just suffering from bad booking, he's suffering from EVERY type of booking. Monster heel, Big Bronson Reed's lackey, cowardly heel, and generic wrestler in a triple threat...all in the space of an hour. Bron Breakker was WWE booking personified on this show.

Emmet Bryan

its not WrestleTalk, its RusselTalk !

Justin Edelheit

It’s either gonna be Brock and Oba or Seth and Oba vs Bron and Bronson

Ty Owens

New subscriber here on Patreon but I’ve been a day 2 Wrestetalk fan just to let you know ! … I’m sorry but 946 IS DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ! No more Powerhouse Hobbs … ITS ROYCE MF’N KEYS !!!

“Big” Willy D

“Oba Femi’s really cool. I hope he wins the Royal Rumble and becomes champion”….Too soon, have him fued with Brock and squash him for a fake retirement at Mania instead “Hell yeah! Oba Femi is King of the Ring, now he can win the title at Summerslam” ….We’re not ready for that! Make up some excuse, use Heyman. “Welp, Money in the Bank time. Clearly this is how we get Oba Femi the title”….We can’t pull the trigger on satisfying the fans! Tsunami him off tv until the briefcase is settled! Roman’s not even on Raw most of the time, just let the kids pass the title around for awhile. They flipped the title 11 times in 1999 and it didn’t hurt anybody. Remember the year Charlotte and Sasha Banks just kept trading the title back and forth at every PLE. It’s a prop, its only value is to move stories forward. It’s not actually selling tickets in Mexico
