**WWE Raw/Smackdown Viewing Thread**
This is now the Televised WWE thread, for RAW/Smackdown discussion.
I thought the idea was that Bray is the sixth member?
Xavier Woods was right about that no good Odyssey Jones.
Wait, two-hour Raw is coming back? That really might cause me to try again.
Sheamus dead-naming Pete Dunne seems like a throwback to Vince's "face who is actually being a massive heel" face
I'm pretty far behind right now, but the Bronson Reed/Braun Stroman spectacle from last Monday was fantastic. A broken roper, they went through a wall. He threw a fan at him! It doesn't always have to be long, great wrestling matches.
The Peter Griffin vs Giant Chicken vibe is phenomenal
3. Still curious what the payoff to Punk v Drew ultimately will be, thought SS and Berlin was pretty ****ing mid but I still absolutely love this feud
The payoff is Punk winning a long blood feud.
When they brought Cody in he beat Seth Franklin Rollins three times in a row, including when his pec was torn completely off the bone. This didn't hurt Seth a bit, either, because it was Cody.
I said this I think a year ago at this point but I honestly feel like the logical conclusion to this is WM night 1 main event for the title. I love Gunther but there’s no scenario that makes sense to me where the raw main event isn’t drew v punk
This has definitely been my favorite feud in a long ****ing time even though their direct matches have sucked
Drew is just so good
Watching Raw from the beginning. A couple of observations:
I forgot how many no names they had in tv matches early on.
ICOPRO ads were annoying as hell.
Rob Bartlett was horrible as an announcer, and thankfully short lived.
Hot take: WWE circa 2024 > WWE circa attitude era
This match is better than the attitude era.
Man Seth v punk is absolute gold
Damn. I missed that Netflix was taking the whole Raw library. Hoping they add them all, not just the current "Best of" episodes. Otherwise my rewatch is over just a bit after it started.
Imagine if every Netflix RAW going forward only has 1 match every 90 minutes like tonight so far
don't care, Rhea is here!
Lol was hogan getting booed?
Normally I am a Seth Outfit Hater but he has that **** on tonight.
There were matches? I thought it was three hours of showing us who's in the audience.
Look who's here! It's guy who works here.
Was there not enough room for them in the back?
Cody's in the front row, right where Kevin Owens does his run in from, but now Cody's coming from the back. Did he get lost and couldn't find his way back to his seat?
Imagine people actually preferring to hear Macafee for three hours on Monday night over Graves
Looks like this isn’t a work. Graves isn’t appearing on NXT tonight and is supposedly not even in Florida anymore
That sucks. He was terrific. **** podcast punter
That he appears to have deleted the tweets makes me think it's more shoot than work, but if recent reports of his being cleared to get back into the ring are truthful, could have been a great work.
Remember, he and Booker did work everyone pretty good a few years ago.
Regardless, I assume Macafee is now an insta-heel in a lot of cities now.
