Raw opened tonight with Michael Cole casually mentioning the Gold Rush is in two weeks.

Does anybody know what the gently caress the Gold Rush is?

I really hope they don't address this at all or ever again.

WWE is just so dog poo poo. Just no planning for anything at all.

No, he mentioned it would be at Clash of Champions. Just not what the gold rush actually was.

Nope and you don’t either. But you’re curious about it so I guess you’ll be tuning in next week and the week after that.

Could it be similar to the Coal Miner's Glove Match? Will there be another framed Scott Hall photo?

Maybe a cinematic match that takes place inside of Fort Knox?

It's the Clash of Champions' tag line. like "The Horror Show" or "You'll Never See It Coming"

The Gold Rush at Clash of Champions is gonna be like The Horror Show at Extreme Rules. Raw Is In Your Face. one of the holes in Vince's brain started leaking and he decided everything needs additional subtitles.

I think most of the NXT roster hates Dream and have said as much. HHH defending him can gently caress right off though.

The great part about WWE choosing to defend a pedophile is that it's like one of a hundred awful things they've done just this year and they'll all be forgotten because they pile on the awful poo poo so quickly that it can't even stay in a news cycle without being replaced by five more

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



So is going to be the pattern from now on? The moment RAW's ratings decline after a boost, they'll announce something like "RAW: SUBTITLE!" in attempts to get viewers to tune in out of curiosity?

Best guess is that Smackdown has a stronger roster.

Vince gives less of a gently caress about Smackdown, so directly interferes with it less.

They could, y'know, quit working there if they're so bothered by the two pedophiles that are hanging around. Which would be a lot easier to do if they came together and formed a...what's the word I'm looking for? Alliance? Unification?

Raw Results 9/14:
  • Detailed Results here.
  • Michael Cole casually mentioned the Gold Rush is in two weeks at Clash of Champions. No explanation of what the Gold Rush is was given. Dolph Ziggler is on commentary tonight.
  • WWE Champion Drew McIntyre said he has a displaced fractured jaw but is wrestling anyway. He'll face Randy Orton in an Ambulance Match at Clash of Champions.
  • Adam Pearce announced that if Keith Lee beats Drew tonight in a match, he'll replace Orton at the PPV if Orton isn't cleared in time.
  • The Street Profits defeated Shinsuke Nakamura & Cesaro in a Champions vs. Champions (but non-title) tag match.
  • Angel Garza and Andrade brawled backstage and Zelina had had enough.
  • The Hurt Business included Cedric Alexander brawled with Ricochet, Apollo Crews and Erik from the Viking Raiders.
  • Cedric Alexander defeated Ricochet in a singles match with their respective friends at ringside.
  • Retribution appeared on the Titantron and cut a promo about things and stuff.
  • Mickie James was interviewed about her title shot.
  • The Hurt Business offered to do a work for hire for Adam Pearce to find and take out Retribution who had everybody "running scared".
  • Asuka (C) defeated Mickie James in a match for the Raw Women's Championship. The ref called off the match in a weird ending while Mickie was in a submission hold. Zelina Vega then came out to call out Asuka and challenge her for the title.
  • Bobby Lashley defeated Erik in a singles match. MVP replaced Dolph Ziggler on guest commentary.
  • Kevin Owens cut a promo about Aleister Black and never mentioned Dabba-Katto once despite him laying out both Owens and Black last week. Aleister Black's eye is apparently injured again after being miraculously cured last week.
  • Braun Strowman yelled at Shane McMahon and his tall bodyguard to let him into Raw Underground.
  • Michael Cole cheerfully revealed that anybody from any brand can show up on Raw Underground whenever they like, a week after cheerfully explaining the BRAND TO BRAND INVITATIONAL had ALWAYS been strictly once a quarter only.
  • Seth Rollins talked poo poo to Buddy Murphy backstage.
  • Mandy Rose is now on Raw, after Miz called in a favor to get revenge on Otis.
  • Seth Rollins defeated Dominik Mysterio by pinfall in a steel cage match. Seth assaulted Buddy Murphy postmatch.
  • Braun Strowman beat up Dolph Ziggler and Riddick Moss on Raw Underground.
  • Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee got into a heated chat backstage which broke into a brawl.
  • Braun beat up more people on Raw Underground, including Titus O'Neill.
  • Kevin Owens defeated Aleister Black in a singles match. Owens supposedly injured his leg during the match.
  • Keith Lee jumped Drew McIntyre backstage.
  • The Riott Squad defeated Lana and Nattie in a tag match to earn a title shot at the PPV. Tag Champs Shayna Bazler and Nia Jax attacked Nattie and Lana postmatch.
  • Shane called off Raw Underground when Dabba-Katto got in Braun's face, saying he wanted them to do it next week instead.
  • "Gold Rush" is just the unexplained, unnecessary and never before mentioned subtitle for the Clash of Champions PPV.
  • Drew McIntyre vs. Keith Lee ended in a no-contest when Retribution attacked them both. The Hurt Business (eventually) showed up and started brawling, Drew and Keith got back involved and laid everybody out and the show ended.
  • So... like, did they unmask the Retribution guys?

Yeah a union would be nice. Though lol if you try and quit. They'll just extend your time forever. The best way to get out is to not sign an extension when your time comes up and not say anything when it's close, so they can't gently caress you over.

Sadly a union will probably never happen
