**WWE Raw/Smackdown Viewing Thread**

Considering her dating history, she doesn't seem like a girl who historically had a lot of self confidence. Maybe all the success the last couple of years has emboldened her to take more chances. They can't all be winners.

I don't think Brock would be crying like that for a work, but man what a great story if Gunther's favor is to pull Brock back into the ring. Don't know how you do that without turning Heyman though and they can't do that with the Vision.

The Orton thing is starting to feel more like a work. They talked about the injury rumors too much and it was probably an excuse to not have to switch every belt.

Full time Roman through the summer. Wonder if that actually lasts. Maybe his last big run.

For all the talk of how old their top guys are, they seem to have a handful of younger guys ready to pop and I'm surprised Fatu is Roman's top challenger because he's gonna have to lose. Feels almost a lock that it's him and Oba next year.

That was a weird Raw after Mania crowd. They couldn't agree on anything. I wonder if they're headed to Punk/Rhodes at SS or next Mania. Question is, if Punk turns on Cody next year, what D-lister is he going to enlist to beat him up?

Apparently, they tried to kill Sol on her last NXT.

Fire whoever approved that spot.

What happened with The Wyatts? Is it completely dead?

The whole thing was bizarre. Why didn't Alexa Bliss want to be involved? Why did they spend SO MUCH time and effort on it?

Bo gone too. Gacy.

Zoey Stark (injured)
Alba Fyre.

The entirety of the wyatt fam released

That’s a ****ing bummer

I don’t care about most of the releases…

Alistar Black and Zelena are kind of questionable.

But Kairi Sane???

She has been killing it lately. Like doing everything she’s asked and doing a great job.

That’s a bummer.

Aleister Black the last time I saw him had lost even more weight and looked sickly I have no idea what he is doing.

Hell of a pay off to the Kairi/Asuka storyline.

Doing any kind of dark act has been career death lately.

She deserved to have her moment. Like wtf else were they putting her out there for.

Everyone would have cheered when she turned on Asuka.

And now we will never have that moment.

I would have been interested in a new Black program.

No idea if this is true or not but reading reports that Black was originally supposed to be the guy in Orton’s head until TKO came up with the idea of replacing him with McAfee and then releasing him instead. Selina said the call came directly from TKO and not Stamford.

TKO seems to be as bad as Vince, except for the sexual assault parts. Like, wtf is Rock doing on this board? Telling them these are all great ideas they have? Trips has to be so creatively frustrated going from Vince to this shit.

Always liked Nikki Cross, but I get it.

Kairi, I don't understand at all.

Black being let go is rough considering his AEW exit. His release in particular seems to reveal how little power Papa H actually has. Wasn't Black always one of Hunter's favorites?

It'd be nice if Kairi Sane got the R-Truth treatment and rehired because crowds kept hijacking the shows chanting her name

She may not want to come back.

Rumors gossip and bs all around. Let the fans speak for themselves.

I WANT KAIRI BACK. #wewantkairi

She needs to finish her story.

Apparently wwe lowered the volume on the "we want Kairi" chants.

Disgraceful and stupid as you know the internet is gonna catch you on that.

Also Gunther should accept the Oba open.

Make it a 20 min match ending with Gunther using a heel move to win.

Doesn't hurt either of them and Oba would further aura farm by putting on his first great technical wrestling match.

What if her story was just telling Asuka to go fuck herself and going back to Japan?

Punk smirks behind Cody's back after he goads him into offering a title shot.

The Usos tell Jacob not to listen to the people. Then they get into another argument with LA Knight about Roman.

Jacob tells Roman that Solo was the only one to open a door for him and then sucker punches him (bringing back the Tongan Death Grip was awesome).

Baby Steiner tells Seth that there was no shame in losing to the Best in the World (Punk), who's better than Seth.

I have no idea if people are turning heel or wtf is going on and can't figure out whether that's good or bad.

Open the show with Oba strutting and declaring the Open Challenge.

Silence.

Glass breaks. Just kidding, ROMAN REIGNS walks out with Paul E. Paul says Roman is the big dog and he's here to eat.

Bloodline Entrance. People are throwing babies in the air and calling grandma. Netflix gets DDOS.

When we return from eighteen commercials, the bell rings. Roman does all his stuff even the rarely seen toprope suicida.

But to no avail. It bounces off Oba. Oba smash. And NEW. Paul E is CRYING.

Cut to Oba: Join me for my coronation ceremony at the end of the show!

Or you could have him lose to Gunther, either way.

Gunther has a story behind it. He's the legend killer and Oba stole his opportunity to retire Brock.

Basically I don't want another squash match. All of em are boring and we need a new Oba angle.

Throw Oba in the deep end with someone who can perform in the ring. Doesn't have to be Gunther I just think his entrance music with Gunther looking pompous would work well story wise.

Oba just gonna run through people till he wins the Rumble and dethrones Roman at Mania next year.

Gunther gonna call in his favor on Paul. He wants Brock. Brock beats him at SS. He finally retires Brock at Rumble or Mania.

Might have to turn Heyman in the process. Fine, let Punk take over the Vision, really infuriate Seth.

As comedy acts go, Danhaussen is definitely my favorite in the last 20 years

Also kit Wilson’s elbow drop is ****ing sick
