And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I know they haven't even begun to think of a payoff to this Retribution thing yet but the only possible way they could make a payoff even remotely worth it is if they use it to debut some new (to the main roster) talent, right?

Pylons
Mar 16, 2009

Who the hell can they even debut that won't be hurt by associating with them? The Dark Order were a bunch of faceless dorks until Brodie Lee came in and gave the group its own direction and personality. They're not going to do that with Retribution because they'd have done so already, and whoever is the "leader" isn't going to have that much creative control!

Raw Results 8/10:

  • Detailed results here
  • Raw starts with a contract signing between Seth Rollins and Dominick; Samoa Joe loses his job if he gets in a physical altercation. The contracts are signed, Dominick signs a second one making him an official superstar. Seth congratulates him on the job, and warns of what's next
  • Seth defeats Humberto Carrillo. Post-match Murphy immediately attacks Dominick, he and Seth take Dominick's kendo stick, grab another, and hit him at least 30 times, including with him stripped shirtless and tied up in the ropes (Seth hitting him in the chest, Murphy hitting him in the back). They finally stop after his :nms: chest and back :nms: are bruised and bloody. Seth attempts a curbstomp but Dominick passes out unable to stay in position
  • Angelo Dawkins defeats Andrade after an attempted distraction from Zelina Vega is foiled by Bianca Belair. Post-match Bianca tries to attack Zelina some more
  • Bianca defeats Zelina
  • MVP on the VIP Lounge brags about not being wrong about a conspiracy with the lights last week. Apollo Crews comes out with the new US title and brags about carrying it despite MVP paying a lot of money to have it made. Apollo accepts MVP's challenge for a rematch at Summerslam, decks MVP, then destroys a couch
  • Shelton Benjamin defeats Apollo after a distraction from Lashley. Post-match Lashley tries to put the full nelson on Apollo again; MVP stops him, saying he needs Apollo healthy so there's no excuses when he takes the US title. Apollo cheap-shots MVP and runs away
  • Footage plays from moments ago when Retribution the antifa group threw a cinder block through a glass window at the Performance Center
  • Mickie James is back and is interrupted by Natalya and Lana wearing a matching rainbow technicolor dreamcoat outfit because I have no other way of comprehending how to describe this.
  • Cedric Alexander, Ricochet and the Viking Raiders defeat Akira Tozawa and his ninjas, with the 24/7 title rules officially suspended. Post-match, with the 24/7 title rules officially unsuspended, one of the ninjas wins the 24/7 title via rolling up Tozawa, then unmasks to reveal it's R-Truth. Truth runs away
  • Peyton Royce defeats Liv Morgan; Billie Kay tries to distract the ref, Ruby Riott intervenes, but Liv is distracted by only seeing the ref and Ruby. Post-match Ruby tries to explain but Liv brushes her off
  • Shane McMahon is back with Raw Underground which is still a thing, where Riddick Moss barely defeats a scrub. Don't worry though, he had less trouble beating Mustafa Ali on Main Event last week
  • Asuka defeats Bayley in a match where if Asuka won, she'd get a rematch against Sasha Banks for the Raw women's title at Summerslam. The lights flicker numerous times during the match. Post-match Sasha chases Asuka out of the ring
  • Shane goes back to Raw Underground, where Arturo Ruas (signed since 2015, mostly been in either EVOLVE or NXT house shows; made his main roster debut on Main Event last week apparently) sqaushes a scrub. After a commercial break, Dabba-Kato, the guy who squashed three people in a row last week, KOs a dude after clawing his dick for thirty seconds. Shayna Baszler immediately steps up; Dabba leaves. Shayna drags in a woman from the audience and beats her up. Multiple other women try to stop her but each get squashed. They then try triple-teaming her but she still dominates
  • Camera cuts to the parking lot where Retribution the antifa group tipped over a car that's starting to smoke
  • Randy Orton defeats Kevin Owens. Post-match Orton yells at Flair for getting him into the match in the first place and being a liability. Flair gives an emotional speech about how much he loves Orton and how sorry he is; Orton hugs him, then lowblows him. The lights flicker repeatedly. Orton punts Flair as the lights go out. Drew McIntyre chases Orton out, and Raw ends as refs attend to Flair
  • GDT discussion here

The first and last half hours of the show were almost entirely about the humiliation and/or attempted murder of the youngest and oldest guy on the roster, and they wonder why people don't enjoy these shows.

Cole should win since he’s the more experienced wrestler and they are going to be wrestling but who knows with the WWE.
