Okay, so I figured it out. This Raw has been built/booked sort of like an NXT show. They have named talent/jobbers getting beat by people they want to push/establish, but it sort of comes off as a longer episode of WWE Main Event since its a lot of the same talent.

No, I'm sure the "mysterious thing in a cage that has magical camera angles within it" story will pay off in a logical and satisfying way.

What in Rowan's WWE history gives you the idea they might fail to pay off his gimmick?

It might be a tiny little Luke Harper and when they open the cage he emerges fully sized and runs rampant.

It'll be the severed head of Luke, beard and all. While Brodie Lee makes his clean cut monster debut in AEW and NJPW simultaneously.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

I noticed this felt like a particularly jobber heavy Raw.

I think you’re right, and despite this being a bad Raw they should be booking more jobber squashes on TV to put people over, that’s kinda booking 101. It makes more sense than giving away A talent matches on tv multiple weeks in a row to the point where people are bored by the time the match happens on PPV. This Raw is bad for completely different reasons.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
There’s no heel authority. There’s not even an authority figure. Flair never asked for a two on one match to get herself over this match is just booked for no reason.

Well the reason is to get Charlotte a tag team partner with Natty or whatever but this is so dumb. Flair is a better heel and nobody wants to boo Asuka and Kairi but at least Kairi is making this work (but they’re not getting over as heels)

In my last few weeks of sporadic watching because AEW has made me care about all wrestling literally the only things that have been remotely interesting and given reason to tune in again are Asuka/Sane and maybe Keith Lee.
