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

Comments

Nick Kowal

It's about damn time that "nobody is safe".

Chris deaton

It’s been a solid show but the first episode of a ple cycle usually is then coast til survivor series

Sam Sullivan

I guess "mystery partner" is code for "we're not bothered to explain why these two are friends" now

Tom Garrett

The most exciting development on Raw in months is the inclusion of chapter titles on Netflix.

Pollo

Sooo USA vs Mexico only going to b main roster what a surprise I thought they were going b guys from triple A

Dominic Walls

GUYS! I FINALLY GOT THE OBA FEMI CAN! Now we can do something with… Whoopsie Poopsie, I've dropped it down the Vision hole, guess we won't be seeing that can till Mania after all. Side note, remember when they said we’ll be rebuilding the tag team division, lol I love a well told joke.

Horatio

So the Cena belt does spin! Superb, 10/10, no notes

Danny Button

So many notes. 1. Breakker double speared the tag champs and they just strolled off to only come back later for the save. Why not stay? Why not prevent the DQ in the first place? 2. What was the point of the Oba promo with Heyman before he left? He said he’s done with the vision just to disappear for weeks and come back to fight the vision. 3. 946 v Bloodline will be a good match but it is going to need a storyline angle. A betrayal, return, something. Any predictions?

Palmer

Just leaving the arena now, I thought it was a pretty good Raw for what we usually get. The crowd loved Jevon and the wrestling was broadly fine but the story progressions finally seemed to happen because as y’all say- it’s f’in wargames season.

Jaws 24

As Luke would say "this was a pretty good cheat codes episode of Raw"

FlacoBoyDom

enjoyed this raw way more than i did crown jewel , some storylines actually moving in a direction . although it ended in dq i was happy the show started with a unannounced match between oba & bron , solid matches across the snow . i’m happy jacob is back but i felt hitting his entrance music for the pop was missed out on , was also hoping for sami to reunite with og bloodline for war games and then jacob returned during the war games match itself but regardless im happy jacob is back .

Lily Petal

Glad you had a good time!

Brett A

Team USA vs Team Mexico. Cody already breaking up tag teams and the mysterio family. Maybe we did get that cody heel turn.

Graff

So Team Mexico is doing the job right? Ain't no way Cody and America are losing right?

Lily Petal

I didn't bother to watch. Did I miss anything? Oh well, Luke and Oli will fill me in tomorrow.

Brandon

like almost every post PPV show, it was a good episode but I just know its not gonna build to anything. Glad 946 started going after other people besides the bloodline (and giving us a sneak peak of their post wargames booking), the Bron/Oba match was great before the vision caused the DQ (the 6 man is either next week or on survivor series), Ethan page calling big cats tall made me laugh and the actual survivor series match is shaping up really damn well with penta and je'von on different sides and immediately causing some fun tension. I could not give 2 shits about either war games match. 3.82/5. alright now that the wrestling talk is over, Oli, how do you feel about the MAGA Christan dude who has the goal of making superhero movies his grandma can talk about in church (this is real) replacing James Gunn and Safran as head of DC?

LP

They finally let Oba wrestle just to end in ANOTHER DQ finish, it is completely pointless and a waste of everyone's time

Don

Email of a show. For the first half, nobody was safe on this episode even when the 946 weren't involved. Beatdowns followed every match and even the set up for Survivor Series thought to include some attacks. Speaking of 946 and War Games, what is more likely to happen: Zilla Fatu is part of the Bloodline team or does Super Roman turn them into the 9-4-Nex-6? Also, just like that the new Tag champions have been neutered. Where was this Bron during the tag team title match? Apparently he can only beat people when he's not in a match. I'm really not looking forward to his feud with Oba. Match of the Night was the triple threat, but I highly doubt Rey is beating All Ego when he can't even get onto a tag team with his brother

Don

Turning into a real "Team America! F Yeah!" moment

Don

Email show. Felt like most progression happened in promos. Only thing of note matchwise was Fenix winning a triple threat to become #1 contender to the IC title

Wheels

I understand that they got the upper hand on Roman for a moment but does anyone else feel like Roman taking out half of 946 no favors not like they had much momentum to begin with

Brent

Nice to see Jacob Fatu back. Looks like he found Roman's old Shield vest and did his own custom art job on it. Also 946 finally attack someone else besides the Bloodline (on a show that people actually watch or care about). I'm glad Dom referenced Rey not only he's a deadbeat dad but also cheating on his wife even though they didn't referenced that Rey is currently suspended as AAA General Manager. I got a weird feeling that there might be a 3rd team made up with heels lead by Dom. This team would have Ethan Page, Gunther, Omos, and Kevin Owens (not a heel but really hates Punk). I been racking my brain on trying to figure out who will join the women babyfaces in the women's Wargames match. Even though it has been 5 vs 5 mostly (all the NXT Wargames matches and 1 women's Main Roster Wargames were 4 vs 4), it might be the first ever 6 vs 6 Wargames match. If it's 6 vs 6, there's still 2 spots for the babyfaces and nearly no one has a natural connection towards the Baddies or Fatal Influence. Paige is the only one but I don't think WWE wants her to be in a Wargames match but I could be wrong. Rhea is another possibly but I don't think you want her to do a Wargames match as her first match coming back from a knee injury. Iyo is stuck in the Judgment Day Vortex. If there was only a woman who actually wants to fight Jacy for the Women's US Title that would slot in nicely but she doesn't exist at the moment. It wouldn't surprise me if AJ Lee makes her return here. I would like to think that the harem of women that Ethan Page came down with was a rib towards AEW and Andrade by WWE.

toylet goods

As I'm now watching your guys invasion coverage, I think this Raw needed more airhorns other than that it a put on the background while I clean kind of show

RedHood93

So I was excited when I found out Penta and Ja'von won the tag titles. I thought, now we can do something with those belts, and on RAW, Breakker and Bronson can destroy Paul and Theory before going after Oba...that would have made sense and been somewhat interesting, so of course they didn't do it. Hey the 946 finally attacked someone on RAW other than the Bloodline...that only took 3 MONTHS, and then they were made to look like regular baddies for Roman to beat. Happy to have Jacob back, but what is this feud? Why did Melo join? Why did Montana join? We will never know because I don't think WWE knows. Triple Threat was nice, though

Randy Bobandy

Can we stop saying wrestlers return after missing only one week? Missing a week of TV is the norm now, not mystery partner reveal

Acon22

This has to be a top 5 Raw this year! Everything had development in this episode. The traditional 5v5 could still the show at Survivor Series. The triple threat was a good match also Oba vs Bron on a Raw is this 2007? That how I felt watching this show it felt like watching a raw in 2007 but better. And god damn it Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in with the bloodline and 946. Also crazy law in the UK where u can’t buy anything before 10am?!? I can go to a gas station buy gas, alcohol and chips at 3am without being told not to buy anything lol. Keep up with the great work Jam that Jam!

Matt

You could literally feel the “pause button” being pushed during Cody’s promo as he went from “I loved it” and transitioned into the USA vs Mexico nonsense. But hey at least the chess pieces for Punk vs Cody started to move into place I guess

Brent

You should watch AAA since airhorns are still allowed in Mexican arenas.

BlackYakuzu94

Twas a fine show. It did its job to setup Survivor Series, which at least feels like it has a build this year. Glad to finally have an actual Survivor Series match on it too, even if it simply amounts to an exhibition match. Funny rib to crown new Tag Team Champions and immediately put them into this match though. IYO has pinned Raquel for the third time in a month and I guarantee that she still won't win the title off Raquel despite that. I guess Becky is finally taking the title from Liv at Survivor Series; I know Olie said they see Liv as a big star and that's why she has the belt, but her booking doesn't actually support that. She's a placeholder until they find someone else they really want to put the belt on, and that makes me think it's going to be Becky vs. Stephanie at Mania. How nice of Andrade to let Ethan Page borrow his gimmick of coming out with a bunch of attractive women. The 946 finally live up to their tag line by attacking everyone... 3 months after their formation, and the ending angle predictably had Jacob return, in what I admit was a very cool shot of him by the burning truck. 6/10, I will forget it by tomorrow.

Lily Petal

Thanks Don! Good for Fenix!

LJ Mickey

Since James Gunn is leaving DC studios and he has experience working with wrestlers maybe Triple H should give him a call to ask for some creative tips on how to turn around an awful creative product into something good.

Peter Siddorn

Wonder if Iyo is winning the belt next week so they can put over that WWE is now on Netflix in Japan?

“Burly” Rob Burwell

Cody needs to go full Homelander with this Captain of Team USA thing. Rey as the ultimate babyface and Cody going nuts with the love of violence he punts Rey. Houston has a high Hispanic population so you can absolutely get sympathy for Team Mexico if Cody loses it

Mr. Grimes

Finally, evidence pointing to the claim "ain't nobody safe." If you're in the midcard atleast. If you're the Bloodline, you stand tall again

Moses

Hi guys big fan of your channel. I’ve been a wrestling fan on and off since 2012 and got back into WWE when punk returned in 2023 and have watched virtually all the main roster tv/PLE’s in that time. However recently I find myself more and more uninspired by the product. I don’t know if I “need a break” or if I’ve just had enough of wrestling entirely and I wanted to know what you think?

Jag

I for 1 minute dont believe that 946 isna credible threat to the bloodline. When it is even they are always getting their asses handed to them. They are like 5 Jimmy Usos. If they win wargames, it is because of someone like Jacob turning on the Bloodline. Hobbs has not been shown as a credible leader. You'd think they would learn from MFTs. Team Mexico will be rey, penta, feniz , dragon lee and grande americano. I genuinely feel bad for Dom and how badly he is handled.

Dev King

LOOK GUYS LOOK! NOBODIES SAFE AND THEY MEAN IT

Devin Cox

Attended Raw live tonight in Greenville, and my 9 year old son and I had a great time! Shocked that we got an Oba match as a completely unannounced opener, screwy finish aside. We got lots of “big stars” with Cody, Rey Mysterio, Punk, Oba, and Reigns all making appearances. I was thoroughly sports-entertained. You know I had to represent with my TURBO shirt… I will miss seeing those solid Creed Brothers matches every week.

T0blr0ne

Watching Raw genuinely feels like watching the hit ReelShort vertical drama Agent of Shadows. Things are happening and there’s a story… I guess… but nothing feels like it matters and and there’s no sense of urgency or direction. I want my wrestling to feel like a speedboat and right now it feels like a cruise ship just slowly lugging itself towards a predictable conclusion.

Chris Stewart-Hynes

I wish Dom had gone further with Rey's granny shagging allegations, could've been realy funny with the right crowd. Hope this story leads to Dom getting on the team anyway but that was a rough segment for Dom fans.

Eric#13

I dont want to be negative with WWE all the time and I actually thought that the main segments were pretty cool on this show. One huge issue I do have and I have had for months: WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH DOM? I honestly dont get why they are not pushing him, instead he is the funny canon fodder to the old guys. Alltough not as bad this gave me "DX beats up the Revival" Vibes.

Ryan Firth

SOME PPL ARE STARTING TO BE NOT SAFE! FINALY! 4 out of 5 for me, great fights, the stories went forward, with page, judgment day titles on the line, evans and penta being in oposite teams, still not using Dom like they should, Fatu is back and im actualy kinda excited for war games!? My biggest gripe tonight was the Oba situation, ppl are saying they dont want to fight oba because they will lose, but it seems lthey wont make Oba lose either, even if the opponent cheats??? Seems a bit much to me. I loved everything about the fight up until the end... breaker was doing so good and than Oba is unphased by brass knucles?? and it just ends in a DQ??? They have totaly dropped the Breaker ball.

Daniel James Baker

Hm, I guess ain't nobody safe after all!! Finally an attempt at the 946 actually staying by their motto so far but we still don't know why they've come together at all. That being said, welcome back Fatu!! Nice surprise I guess to have Bron Vs Oba to start off the card, the start didn't do any favours for Bron breaker whatsoever, he calls his team out and plays mind games but comes off imo looking like a wuss after calling him out however I'm glad the match grew better the longer it went on, very different from the usual bulldozer style quick match we're used to with Oba. Not surprised with the DQ finish but why not have penta and Jevon stay ringside in support from the beginning? Ethan as champion is already perfectly suited for it and I like the good start to it (We'll see how long it lasts) even with the facial expressions he seems to make self acknowledging Cass had a hand in him getting there. Good triple threat match, enjoyed the 946 actually doing something! Hm, we'll see how long that lasts Cody. But here we go into Mexico Vs USA territory I guess! Great segment, surprised to see Punk go over but it makes sense I suppose and the build helps ease the bloated Smackdown roster for sure. Batley Vs michin was fine but it feels as though Jade and co stand tall all the time in a way that despite what victories come for the baby faces in that feud, the wins feel diminished and worth nothing. Penta joining team Mexico is a great choice and Jevon for team USA adds a good range so far! Who else do we think will join? Chad has a case for either team, perhaps an el Grande and a Chad reunion? Great tag match with JD (Insert from Oli: "Women's Segment"), Becky and Iyo but it does feel a bit like filler with Iyo's presence for how little WWE seems to care for her which is a shame. (Another can being kicked while waiting for Steph, Bianca or Naomi perhaps?) That being said, Liv's face from Becky's promo was quite funny to see but I'll hold my breath for the iyo Vs Raquel title match.

Daniel James Baker

Had my hopes up too much for Rhea but that's on me I guess, definitely agree with you, felt like a filler stepping stone for what they actually wanted to do.

Jack McEwen-Quy

Great show but I can't tell what the women's wargames match is going to be. You've got the Judgement day Vs Iyo Sky Et al or you've got Fatal influence + Jade Cargill, Michin B Fab Vs Flair Tatum, Alexa, Bayley and two others??? Do we take have a US champs match at wargames to make it 5 Vs 5. Got to be thrown together soon

Homerstar

Raw was good today but man, Turbo was emotional. The Creeds had an amazing send off which is something WWE doesn’t usually do. That show won’t be the same without them.

That Welsh Guy

whats that? people are starting to boo Cody more? Well perfect time for him to lead "team America" and maybe cut a pro America promo, that's never blown up in his face before

RealDoubleJ

One could argue James Gunn is the HHH of films. A breath of fresh air with his initial booking of his creative vision but then becomes too reliant on certain tropes and an air of predictability/safeness creeps into the product. I have definitely enjoyed the last year of DC more than the last year of WWE though but monkey's paw logic, you'd get Peter Safran instead coming in 😅

Karl Williams

I wonder what happens first… Judgement Day finally ends or Oli’s enshitiffication video releases 😉. Overall okay show, I still find raw very pedestrian and dull to be honest. Can’t wait for January when the writers care again…

that guy who want to support

Brand supremacy is old news now we are doing country supremacy! I see nothing problematic about this!

Vikrish-Ingi

When IYO said mystery partner and it was main event I thought it must be Asuka or maybe biggest shock of Kairi . Why do I build up my expectations in wwe 🤣

Brent

It's definitely the latter for the women's Wargames. Liv vs Becky is confirmed for Survivor Series. I had a post down below on my thoughts for women's Wargames wondering the same thing.

Brxdley.h

I am so so sick of Cody. every week since probably the summerslam after WM39, i never think I can get more bored of him, but then he speaks, or wrestles, or gets slotted straight into another opportunity. WM40 was a good moment, but it wasn’t because of Cody. Now he’s ruining shows

Brent

I immediately thought it was Becky when the whole idea of mystery partner was mentioned.

maxEthen

Its weird reading something that is extremly close to my wrestling expirience. Started 2012-13, long time on and off until 2024 were i watched every PLE and nearly every show and now i cant remember the last PLE/show i watched from WWE. Its extremly uninspiring and the lack of wrestling on most of the shows is a big turn off for me. What keeps me at wrestling right now is, I have to say, AEW. It has amazing wrestling most of the time but also super fun and interesting Characters. Just try it out some time, lots of stuff is on Youtube or for not that much money on myAEW

Brent

I bet on the enshitification video comes out first since Judgment Day is forever.

Donal Borg-Neal

Oba wrestling on Raw? What next? A world champion appearing weekly? I know Chad Gable has had a frontal babyface lobotomy that makes him act like a dork but I was shocked his response to Ethan Page publicly insulting his wife and children was to simply just call him a rude word Overall okay episode of Raw, decent matches with a slight glimmer of foolish hope that Liv and Raquel might be dropping the titles to Becky and Iyo. Though was anyone else really missing Sami on Raw this week?

Alex Anderson

The 946 come across as a bunch of amateurs against the Bloodline. They haven't done anything of note. There's no reason to care about Powerhouse Hobbs, no reason to care about the 946. After Wargames they'll get forgotten by Creative and people will be asking 94who? And the Cena Classic is going to be awful.
