Brandon

it was fine

Mohammed Albanai

Look I'm glad we got the triple threat, I just wish they were either more creative in how we got there, or just make an announcement on twitte. the 15 interference spots ruined what was otherwise a good match (even for Judgment day, that was excessive)

Don

Very mid episode. Agents really needed to talk to each other beforehand to avoid every tag match having the same spot of pulling the partner off the apron before a tag. Also, isn't the attack before the bell something that heels or enhancement talent do? So why did the faces do it tonight in the first 2 matches? Happy to see Solo learned from Samoa Joe by escaping the 946 like Joe escaped the ninjas Main event was a waste of time if they were just going to do a triple threat. Page is underrated still, whether it's AEW or WWE. Bron looked like a dork being manhandled by Oba even though it was 2 on 1. I'm losing my interest in their future match by being booked so weakly. If he wins, it will only be by tons of Vision interference

Forget Judgement Day vortex, we have the Bloodline Vortex. When Solo arrived he was the silent, badass killer. Then he broke from the Bloodline, lost to Roman, got the "other" Bloodline and I got bored Jacob arrived and he was the deranged badass killer who said "I Love You, Solo!" . Then he broke with Solo, lost to Roman, joined the bloodline and I got bored. Solo broke from the "other" Bloodline, absolutely got over on his own because "pew pew" is now back with the Bloodline and all I can say is I am BORED!

WWE doesn't really know how NOT to have 15 interference spots. I think they get a bonus for every one they do.

Randy Bobandy

Go home raw? Skipped to go to bed early

Don

There's 3 vortices on Raw: Bloodline, Judgement Day, and Vision, and they're all as cold as ice. It's the wrestling equivalent of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow"

James H.

I just can't get into this Bloodline stuff. At least there is finally a match next week, that 946 will win with interference. Best thing on the show was Ethan Page. He is so good at selling and the smug heal gimmick. Like a modern Rick Martel.

Hollywood33

Was in attendance tonight! Always love attending events in STL. Crowd was hot early, but the lackluster product definitely took a toll on the energy. Ethan Page and Ray Fenix stole the show!

Graff

Wait Raw was on? Could've fooled me.

Chris deaton

Monday night background noise was pretty meh this week

Chris

I can't lie, I can't remember the last time I watched any WWE tv without my phone or PS5 controller in my hand. It's just the same every single week, promo, tag match, ads, ads, ads, promo, tag match, judgement day crap, a skippable main event. I desperately need some excitement injected into RAW also what happened to the random promos, entrances and wresting when the Ads were on??? Why has Netflix randomly decided to add actual adverts to the show regardless of the tier we have!

mike wolfe

Why is there zero focus on the tag team championships? Why is there zero focus on the women's Intercontinental championship? Why is there zero focus on the men's Intercontinental championship? I complain that AEW has too many championships but at least they are defended on TV!! I don't think WWE knows the aforementioned titles exist. Oh, and Oba piddling around the mid card is a disgrace.

Scott Adams

I get why WWE think the Roman is privileged/manufactured promo could work. However, this version of Roman is clearly so much different (for the better) from that past version that it just falls on deaf ears for me. It feels like excessive moaning on a tired talking point.

CDE

A solid episode, I would say more but I’m not sure there’s much more to say. The wrestling was good, plots were advanced, I guess, but it also feels like nothing that really matters actually happened.

Sean Steez

This was a great week for actual wrestling, but a major pitfall for creative. Raw’s lack of starpower has been an issue for months and ROMAN mailing it in for a weak promo in the go home RAW is part of the problem. Why is he still champ? Look at what Oba did with his minute of MIC time; that feels like a championship promo. Then, after goody Solo getting over on his own, he’s back with the bloodline? Come on. Loved the wrestling in the main event, but we took the laziest way to the three way we l saw coming. Very watchable in a vacuum: 3.5 OLIs out of 5.

Dan J

Does anyone actually know what the point of Roman is anymore. The guy shows up once a month to call the Usos incompetent, then decides he’ll “do it himself” Also are we just ignoring the fact that Solo gave Roman the spike a month ago but yet here we are all happy as Larry? I genuinely hope there’s a major shakeup with the title after MITB because Roman as champ is not working for me.

Marlo Ramirez

I noticed the MITB poster had Hellraiser Revival as a sponsor. Who would you guess is getting hellraiser gear entrance?

Inexplicable Shorts

LA Knight takes precedence over dealing with what happened to Fatu. Even with the Tribal Chief’s explanation of being ‘born in the deep end’, it doesn’t hold up. Your cousin was just the victim of attempted murder. Usos are laughing backstage. Not even concerned with Jaida apparently. Or anything else for that matter. Roman finds Solo immediately. No fanfare or explanation. The Bloodline treated it like just another Monday. I wanted them all to be irate. Particularly Reigns. Instead of dispelling the idea of being distracted to Knight, maybe ACTUALLY be distracted. It’s completely reasonable. Spend the show DEMANDING answers. Treat LA like an afterthought. It at least gives plausibility to the idea he’ll lose on Saturday. Leave it to WWE to cool off what was finally a genuinely exciting angle…

Moses

Everything wrong with Monday Night Raw was summed up in last night’s episode. Filler matches,promo segments that tell us nothing new. But the thing that annoyed me the most is - last week 946 RAN JACOB FATU OVER WITH A CAR - and this week they get 1 pre-recorded video. Great way to capitalise on that great angle. Ps Luke congrats on the new baby ❤️

Russell M Triton

First they moved Wrestlemania from New Orleans to Vegas, because Vegas paid more. They gave New Orleans Money in the Bank September (Labor Day weekend) then changed it due to 2K "logistics" and not because of the gay pride parade "Southern Decadence" was that same weekend as it is every year. I would have enjoyed watching both event goers coinciding downtown. Now these lowlifes have moved it again to attack ME by not only being on the day of my wedding (Sat, Oct 10th) in my city (NOLA), but they will start 30 min before my ceremony. I say Bring on the Rain!!! Fun fact its in the Smoothie King area aka The Blender Love you guys & keep up the great work.

Harry Burke

My enjoyment of Joe Hendry has fallen off a cliff in recent weeks. I find myself physically cringing whenever he appears on screen.

Awful Wrestling Opions

As I'm watching JD open that package, I'm begging for it not to be a Funko Pop. What WWE has done to Joe Hendry is criminal.

Brent

It's no secret that I constantly rant on Roman but I think tonight proves my point about him. He's an extremely talented guy who cut a great promo on LA Knight on the show but at the same time, he makes LA or whoever he's feuding with carrying the bulk of the work since he can't be bothered being at Raw every week or even taped a promo for the show he can't physically appear on. Roman saying that he's going to be full time after winning the title was a complete lie. Also Roman saying that he isn't going to team up with the Usos against the 946 perfectly tells me that he's above them and not bothering to get actually involved. It makes 946 a midcard group. I really think Bayley is using the John Cena handbook on how to look like a face while acting like a heel in her feud against Lyra. I can't be the only one who thought the triple threat between Vaquer, Liv, and Becky should have happened a lot sooner than it did.

Brent

WWE is counter programming your wedding. You are having the same experience that Oli did earlier this year with his wedding.

Peter Siddorn

Like a blunt spear, this Raw was pointless.

Daniel James Baker

Overall disappointment with the show this week. No real concern over Fatu, Roman instead dog walks him in a promo seg' for getting run over. Jey and Jimmy know sweet F all of what's happening but oh it's ok because Solo is back! (No they don't deserve that.) And the 946 are reduced to another promo of doing nothing after just PURELY promo interaction? Abysmal. The vision still look like dorks as usual to a otherwise alright tag match that's ruined by having Austin Theory and for any of this weak MitB angle to be spun off to play second fiddle for Bronson vs Oba... (Great promo by heyman btw, between the reveal that he's been shattered by what Oba did, he's a broken man watching repeat after repeat of oba slamming Brock into the mat, fantastic story work) Rey and dragon Lee vs Dom and JD was alright but come on, F off with the pop Funko nonsense, if they send out Joe Hendry to Scotland in January he'll be crucified by his own crowd. Ethan Paige vs Rey Phenix was fantastic and the main event had the potential to really bring it back for me but no. You shit the bed with the interference spots but THANK THE LORD, Steph got them caught and thrown out, Christ above you'd think refs were smarter than that. Only excitement I have for MitB is oba and Bron and probably the women's MitB match. The mens feels like afterthought.

Jimic

Look how they've massacred my boy Joe Hendry...... I can't deal with these stupid bloody funko pops anymore, I swear next time I see one I'm going to punt it into the sun!! Seriously though the levels of 'brand integration' at this point just takes away from the wrestling on show and devalues whoever has to promote it.

RealDoubleJ

Look, cards on the table, I don't really watch WWE anymore. I've dipped in a few things since mania, such as punk/owens 1st match, but otherwise I enjoy the storytime I get on a Monday more than feelings of frustration which may be more on me as a 35+ years fan than the product. But I have waited patiently for 8 weeks and now I must address the lads on a very important point that has not been brought up: Oli! Have you not watched Lanterns yet?! I thought you were MISTER Green Lantern?!? Ir even Mister Plex over here with his media server monopoly. You going to make me wait until the Clayface review? (That's 23rd of October on Cutscene, hit the like button and smash that bell)

Homerstar

Hate the finish of that main event because we all knew how that was going to end. They might as well have had Vaquer interfere straight away and save us from waisting our time.

Kevin Fleuriot

The idiot in me thought after Roxanne and Raquel got ejected "huh, maybe they'll have a winner" NOPE, silly me. Anyways, on my way to Grand Slam France tonight.

Fin Brennan

Ain’t nobody safe is a double negative.

Mike S.

It’ll be someone random in one of the ladder matches - maybe Penta

Mike S.

The booking of jimmy and jey in this story is baffling. After foaming at the mouth to “run a play”, Jacob gets hit by a car and they’re just sitting back stage laughing to each other and in the same dopey “I guess I’ve got a lot to learn” tone as Bron say “well they’ve got one over on us” to Roman. If the goal is to show they don’t care about Jacob - okay sure… but I don’t think they’re that smart. Smells like they’re bad at booking and don’t care. Worst of all… the Jaida reveal was one of the best endings we’ve seen to a Raw in a long time and it gets ZERO follow up??? Criminal…

Lily Petal

The Vision, how did I forget about the Vision???

James H.

Wait, I completely forgot Bron and Theory were the tag champs. So will Penta and Je'von get a title shot now? And with the loss, Bron is still at 6 televised wins all year (including tags).
