LUKE: The best ones will be read out on the WrestleTalk Podcast

Comments

Chris deaton

Monday night background noise was pretty good this week. RIP PAC and sign guy

Blake Whitehouse

Three things went through my head throughout RAW 1) I can’t believe All Gas No Breaks actually paid off 2) I feel vindicated for watching NXT because I remembered Jaida Parker was part of OTM 3) There needs to be a Gauntlet match between Oba Femi and The Vision, and if Oba wins, The Vision must break up.

Dukect

This was an interesting Monday night raw. For what I seen the best way to make the 946 more of a threat is for them to do crime. All they need to do is some money laundering and the bingo card would be complete. Also shout out to dragon lee with the counter pin to Big Cass. But sometimes I wonder if some of these counterpins are shoot ones.

Don

Besides the ending fight, this episode felt like a filler. Nothing really progressed for the most part, like they're spinning their wheels for rumble season because Heaven forbid creative does anything special until we get to Riyadh, er, Wrestlemania season. Big Cass looking more and more like Big Dork not being able to win anymore. So much for stacking bodies Are we certain that Solo isn't being punished for getting himself over, much like LA Knight was, for real, not getting punished?

Sean Steez

I hate to be a broken record, however, Raw’s lack of star power is glaring! You have to love the beautiful irony of a neutered Jacob Fatu being taken out because of “all gas and no brakes”. Past that, we did get some solid wrestling (thank you Lyra and Iyo) And BRON finally was made to look strong. A decent weekly filler episode. 3 OLIs out of 5

i’m probably gonna have an unpopular opinion on this one but i actually really enjoyed this episode . without roman raw seemed to be broadly fine but this episode felt very good not great but definitely very good . between the surprise of jaida parker getting called up to the in ring action across the show (really enjoyed lyra vs iyo) & im not complaining about getting bronson vs oba , way to not just let bronson take a backseat to bron after returning which is a good sign . i was very bored with this 946 storyline but that brawl ramped it up for me , this brawl should’ve happened about a month ago . i do appreciate them just not putting solo right back on tv like nothing happened which is what i was expecting them to do . jaida joining 946 which makes sense given the history with the other 2 in nxt , surely naomi returns soon to join the bloodline . overall 7/10 but the brawl for me bumped it to a 8/10 , & REST IN PEACE JACOB FATU . i’ve been a fan of you guys since the broken hardy’s story in tna & have been an everyday watcher since , i was in high school & i am now 25 with a family . finally subscribed to patreon & hopeful when i listen to the podcast i hear this being read hahaha keep up the good work lads support wrestletalk

After every show, I end up disliking joe hendry more and more. Also, worlds collide is still planing to air on Wednesday before dynamite. Wondering if wwe will still go ahead with that counter program seeing as it will be a tribute show.

It’s gonna be interesting to see how they work the first ever intergender Wargames match with Naomi and Jaida joining, but it’s going to be even more interesting to see how they rope Drew into joining 946.

Lily Petal

1. Jacob: "ah hell naw" seeing Jaida getting out of the car. Had me rolling! 2. Iyo to Pierce about Lyra: "Adam, she has issues." Had me giggling! 3. Jaida to Jacob: "Ain't nobody safe." Had me saying "So Naomi is coming back soon, right??? 4. ENISHITIFICATION DUE IN 2 DAYS OLI! WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN!!

Don

They probably will. Anything to hurt a company that they don't see as their competition. According to JBL, so take this with a block of salt, no commentators were flown there so he's expecting commentary to be added after the event ended. Seems crazy that they planned to have a show that is 4 days old and spoiled already to be on YouTube to counterprogram a new dynamite. I would've figured this to be a great ad for club wwe, or as another means to entice a us provider to host AAA, but what do I know? I'm not actively trying to monopolize a business that suffered as a result of already going through one monopoly

CDE

I enjoyed this episode: solid storytelling, solid wrestling. However, seeing Penta tag with Je'von made me do some research. Since coming to WWE, not including AAA, Penta has tagged with Je'von, Gable, Dragon Lee, Rey, AJ Styles, the War Raiders, Sami Zayn, Andrade, and Bron Breakker, but not his actual tag partner, who is also employed by WWE!

Don

Not just another employee, or rather independent contractor, but is his brother 😆. I thought the whole point of Penta joining was to also team with Rey

Scott Adams

Raw feels like two completely different shows. It has an interesting main event level story that feels like actual effort was put in. However, everything else feels like the bare minimum is being done and anybody involved is just stagnant. If the 946 story can have grittier elements to it, why can’t other stories go beyond standard tropes a few times?

Don

Tin foil hat time, but I don't think Oli has forgotten neither. I think he's behind schedule and that's why he chose this weekend to go off grid in the mountains 😆

Brent

I enjoyed both women's matches along with Dragon Lee vs Big Cass even though Lyra should had beat Iyo. I think the problem with the Bloodline vs 946 storyline is that the Usos and Jacob aren't enough to carry the storyline. The 946 are low rent Death Riders especially adding Jaida Parker into the group which makes Jaida on the opposite side of her boyfriend, Jey Uso. I really don't want Naomi to be the counter to Jaida if she is coming back any time soon. She deserves to continue her heel run and away from the Bloodline business.

Sam Sullivan

I'm usually very down on WWE but this was a surprisingly good episode, by their standards at least. Lyra/Iyo was fun, the tag match was good until the interference, and the closing angle with the backstage brawl was way more fun than usual. Lovely to see Bayley, Becky and Penta paying tribute to Pac also

James H.

Look, the matches were good, but all the exciting people that were built up in August and September moved back down the card. Even Penta who is stuck in the Judgement Day vortex. And "ain't nobody safe" just means these 3-5 people. If you want me to belive 946 are a problem, then give them more of an impact on the rest of the roster.

Rob Steedley

What an ending. I'm still not sure that wasn't Jacob hit by that car. Damn Miss Parker! And Royce saying Jacobs catchphrase... Chefs kiss. Can't wait to see Oba Femi and Bronson Reed!

Brandon

Jacob got flung into the air by a car. this makes it a 5/5 show. yes the funko pop shit was and will always be lame and ruined a pretty fun match and the repetitive booking with Lyra and Bayley has reached max stupid but Jacob Fatu got run over by a car so hard that he literally flew for a few seconds so its a 5/5 show. Yes I wish OTM was shown as more dominant over the usos and Bron Breaker didn't get a single segment to confront Bronson about him accepting a match with Oba making him feel tertiary again but Jacob Fatu got run over by a car so its a 5/5 show. bit aside though, I found it interesting that they didn't advertise worlds collide at all despite it airing on Wednesday I wonder if they are internally considering delaying it so they don't look bad for counter programing this weeks dynamite

Brandon

I didn't see any advertisement for it on tonights raw so I think they are discussing internally

NerfPablo

I’m excited about 946 story line, and I think Jaida Parker is perfect for this group. Really looking forward to Naomi’s return and teaming with the Usos against them. Great ending to Raw when we needed something to cheer us up. RIP PAC 🖤

Joey Spade

I don’t believe in Joe Hendry. *sad clap clap*

Peter Siddorn

Maybe it's just me but the 946 vs the Uso's & Jacob feud is starting to remain me of early NWO vs WCW storyline! Where it just the NWO always coming out on top and WCW looking like idiots every week! Also are we ever going to see the 946 actually wrestle at some point before Wargames?

Michael

You know, sometimes I watch WWE and think to myself, "Wow, they really are starting to get it, this is really quite good! (Mexico City Raw for example)" Then you blink and Joe Hendry is singing another terrible song about funko-pops for the 200th week in a row and realize that my girlfriend would break up with me if she knew I watched this, and she'd be right to do so.

kyle McAllister

Bronson’s presentation was great this episode. No vision backing him up, so he looked bad ass stepping to Oba. I loved the chaotic feel of the end of the episode, but I felt like we should have seen a stronger 946. Especially Royce Kees, but that might just be because we didn’t see him beating down Jacob because of the camera choice. But then they hit a guy with a car, which was not in my bingo card.

Eric#13

Easy: He just joins on week before without any explaination

Harry Burke

I thought it was a fine episode of Raw. I especially enjoyed Lyra Vs Iyo - it's nice to see Iyo back on the main roster after she's been doing bits on Turbo. Also nice to see Penta's tribute to PAC, even if that match was somewhat ruined by WWEs attempts at "comedy" with the Joe Hendry Funko Pop Bollocks. Whoever is booking that shit needs to give their head a wobble.

Eric#13

Cool Angle to close the show, but I couldnt help myself thinking that it would have had so much more impact if it would have been Roman who was run over. You can then write him off for a few weeks and the rest of the bloodline are like "oh no what are we gonna do without our leader" but I guess thats not the story we are telling

cc

I don't really understand why Jaida pretended with the whole "I'm sorry! I didn't see you there! Oh my god! I'm sorry" nonsense. Who was she doing that temporary fake out for?

Daniel James Baker

Broadly the episode was alright but certainly an upwards momentum from last week and what an electric end to the show, just what I needed again from 946. Teasing us for weeks with Jacob being restrained for the right moment but he's out played by his own gimmick. 946 and Jaida gave him all the gas and put his breaks on for that finale. Great seeing jaidas call up, great promo counter from Becky to Liv "you don't even believe you can beat me". Great match from jevon and Penta vs JD day, disappointed to see Penta still facing Dom and JD but it's fuckin' MitB season *cracks can open*

Wahab Fares

I feel like the raw tag titles should just become the trios titles at this point. I think it could work with the vision, bloodline, judgment day, 946, and maybe even Penta/Evans/Fenix

KFizzle4

Until the 946 and Royce Keys actually interact with Roman, I can't say that they're main eventers.

chrisg146

Raw is the majoring so much on the minors, while minoring on what could be majors. Too much young and more interesting stories and stars on the mid card getting squandered while I couldn’t care less about the Bloodline or 8675309. Raw has turned into whatever is in between NXT and what actually feels like major leagues, SmackDown.

Jag

Few things. Looks like the return of Naomi is imminent with Jaida getting involve. 946 will cost roman the title at MiTB with LA Knight revealed as the leader with all ties in with him going on about how roman cant win it by himself. The villian trope of him saying it only to do it himself. He will drop it back at RR in time for oba to finish his vision storyline. Bron and Bronson look big without any lackies. They need to lose the lackies. Judgement day and Joe Henry are just sad. They finally figured out that Rey Fenix is a great wrestler so they put him on ALL the shows. Decent episode. RIP PAC. Gone too soon.

Kevin Fleuriot

"946 have burned a car, kidnapped someone, what's next, a murder attempt ?" ... IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE WWE I thought during the episode that Jaida would fit 946 with her connection with OTM, didn't think they would do it this quick in this fashion.

Homerstar

I’ve never heard a crowd quieter for a singalong. I should have known that this company wouldn’t get Joe Hendry.

Ben Kind

I really do enjoy Lyra on RAW, she really brings it in ring and her heelish character just continues to work for her acting style - I hope that WWE deciding that she couldn’t lose clean to a wrestler of Iyo Sky’s caliber indicates they have a path ahead for her after this Bayley feud is done

Fin Brennan

I smell a 946 Rules match, playas (a street fight, presumably)

Fin Wood

This Joe Hendry treatment might be as bad for Scotland as the Highland clearances

Shawn Lindsay

One production thing I think they have done to make the show flow better is reduce the promotional packages that play in and out of commercials (and moved them to the Netflix and system like the live event tour promo) except for the ones that commentary does a read for. I will especially improve the VOD after 24 hour, with the ad breaks only on the Live/Replay version for ad free viewers. Also I think Jaida brought the NXT parking lot with her

Vikrish-Ingi

Going to be a hard watch for Oli and Luke will assume Netflix have censored the whole last segment. Also not confusing at all having Jeys sidepiece running over his cousin . Maybe he forgot her birthday .

Jamie Brown

So Jaida is with 946, Naomi to The Bloodline?

Dr Jiff

The Bloodline are the bad guys right? Theyve spent years cheating in matches and bullying there way around the wwe. 946 are the ones standing up to them.

Your Daily Dose of Haterade

Just here to say I have been rewatching all the MCU movies leading up to doomsday(only the good ones) with my girlfriend who hasn’t seen any of it at all. We just watched infinity war and she started crying saying “why does it like that, it can’t end like that, did they really just lose”. Anyways Raw was good.

KidCutty

MS. PARKER! DON'T PLAY DAT ISH!!! MS. PARKER! DONT PLAY DAT ISH!!! Happy she finally on the main roster. I think we all needed something to occupy our minds given this weekends events and Raw did a good job of distracting imo

Lily Petal

I didn't think of that. Darn that sneaky Oli!

Carl

I actually enjoyed most of this episode especially the closing segment BUT….what on earth have they done to Joe Hendry. That felt like really bad WWE from the PG era
