I like how both Rollins and US champ Bobby Roode’s open challenges involve them rematch if the same guy they beat on tv multiple times. Imagine if Cena’s US open challenge was against Rusev 10 times instead of a bunch of fresh matchups + some NXT teasers. Even Rollins fighting Apollo Crews or something for 20 mins would be more like Cena’s open challenge.

Seth's "fake vaccinations" line is pretty obviously meant to mean that Dean is bullshitting about getting shots as an excuse to not be there, rather than a claim that vaccinations cause autism. Still, it is a pretty easy thing to take out of context, especially given the horrible things they regularly say and do on Raw.

baron corbin doesnt have the prescence nor the charisma to be a heel gm. Put Alexa in that role while she recovers from being a farm.

Jerusalem

I'm really hoping that's the direction they're going, with Alexa making no bones of the fact she used Corbin to get into position to replace him the moment BRAUN! destroyed him/removed him from the picture.

I mean, I'd prefer a break from heel GMs, but if they're going to have one, Alexa would be a pretty good choice and actually be a good contrast to Paige on Smackdown.

I hope they release a Drake Maverick 365 so we can see the meeting with HHH or Vince or Rovert or whoever where they explain that he's done a great job of running 205 but now he has to be the peeing guy and what an exciting opportunity this is for him.

Raw reads like it was really bad, anyway, I just wanted to join the little vigil for The Revival, possibly the greatest waste of talent in a company that wastes a LOT of talent.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Holy mother of god, what a RAW. It finally convinced me to remove the show from my DVR though. Baron Corbin taking over a third of RAW as heel authority figure is bad enough, I don't need to see Alexa Bliss taking up another hour doing the same poo poo. Best part of the show was watching Bobby Roode and Chad Gable literally stare at a screen for 90 seconds, forgetting that they're in a loving TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH and getting jumped from behind.

RAW is loving dire, man. Thank god for Becky, Bryan, and the Blue Show.

Two choices.

1 - Why give the fans something new that they might actually want?

2 - They're saving "new content" for when they move networks.

Roque has posted repeatedly that Finn's getting tired of looking like a geek, so I hope you all are ready for him to be right here and still be booked like this well into 2024 (the year he's 43 and his body fully starts to break down from still doing this poo poo, as is wrestler tradition)

The WWE often picks the worst possible time to stick with long-term booking. I point you towards the Roman-Lesnar storyline as a credible source.

Corbin has the highest song-quality-to-gimmick-quality and finisher-quality-to-gimmick-quality ratios in the business. It's impressive.

I wonder what this world would be like had he not gotten himself de-pushed in 2017. Imagine Corbin cashing in on Jinder, and them running a feud for a few PPVs. IMAGINE IT.

why the gently caress they put baron corbin in an autorithy role. If the guy is bad in the ring or bad with the mic just send him to nxt or fire him or whatever. the actual roster is bloated as gently caress

Some scoopsmen were saying last week that even if Braun isn't 100% ready by TLC there's still a plan for him and Corbin stuff. The surgery he got is minor and he should be fine to do a quick squash.
