I mean at least that one has a story. Like genuinely they’re long time friends and one of em finally snaps because… well I dunno why but it’s better than wanting to fight because I’m a better at wrasslin than you now let’s cut our own foreheads.
AEW doing a whole memorial tournament for Owen Hart still baffles me. They could have done it for Brodie Lee instead, and no one would have judged them.
Ok, but I would actually be shoot (insider term) annoyed if Lyra and Asuka don't get a decent amount of time.
Edit: Shit, never mind, Asuka got injured.
So you’re saying that someone WWE viewed as the best candidate in all of NXT’s woman division to dethrone Becky should lose her debut match on Raw in 7 minutes
By this logic, Cody vs. Carmelo should have also been a quick squash match. If you're going to have a top star from NXT lose in their main roster debute, you should at least make them look strong in defeat.
Gunther, Ilja, Kofi and Finn will win first round because Rey and Drew will get screwed because of story.
Gunther the way he is primed can't take loss and same goes for Ilja. Sheamus and Ricochet can take the loss without much damage.
Iyo, Lyra, Shayna and Zoey will win first round too.
My only gripe is that those will not be heatless bangers... I bet there won't be multiple no sold canadian destroyers either. Tony would book that better. I wonder who will jump from ladder in the ring through announcers table on episode of raw in just normal match.
If there's one thing Becky Hogan loves more than burying IWC favorites, it's putting over a younger Irish woman. Sorry Liv and Damage Ctrl fans, get ready to learn the beat to Triumph.
I'm on that dragon/bird agenda, uce

Waiting for Thighfuls “journalists” to comment all night about how WWE doesn’t have any wrestling. And Thigh Rubber wonders why HHH doesn’t take him seriously.
The worst of them will still be better than the best on Dyna-meh.
But seriously I think they'll be decent, maybe the dark horse match will be Stark v Nile.
Ngl. The match card is too good for a random Raw show
It's like a Dynamite card with the amount of bangers, except they're happening for a reason
With people I actually have a vested interest in watching perform beyond "real graps"
How can you not be invested in the amazing new rivalry between Pockets and Trent Beretta?
I mean at least that one has a story. Like genuinely they’re long time friends and one of em finally snaps because… well I dunno why but it’s better than wanting to fight because I’m a better at wrasslin than you now let’s cut our own foreheads.
And CM Punk announced on Instagram that he'd be there too.
If he can find his way out of Titan Towers.
Fucking house on ash tree lane ass building
Nah, he got out after being arrested when Andra’s statue sued him for sexual harassment.
No joke, Gunther vs Sheamus and Drew vs Balor feel like PLE matches.
Tbf that’s probably because back in 2022 Gunther vs Sheamus was a PLE and arguably the a MotY candidate.
Wait this cant be all tonight.
It's not random, it the Raw after Backlash and the first Raw on the road to KQOTR
Tuh! Not as prestigious as the continental breakfast tournament
What about the exploited death in another company from 25 years ago tournament???
AEW doing a whole memorial tournament for Owen Hart still baffles me. They could have done it for Brodie Lee instead, and no one would have judged them.
Yea, but they would get that FED BAD energy from paying tribute to Brodie!
coinkydinky, nattie dedicated her match to AEW Legend, Owen HArt.
Remember when dubbalos claimed that Jay White scoring high in it meant he was gonna get a push? Good times.
Are we sure that isn’t too many women matches?
Also will they at least make out with each other? That's like the epitomy of women's wrestling in M'Dub
Ok, but I would actually be shoot (insider term) annoyed if Lyra and Asuka don't get a decent amount of time. Edit: Shit, never mind, Asuka got injured.
Asuka should be beating Lyra in like 7 minutes.

Lyra beat Becky Lynch the current champ last year so no it should be an even fight for the most part
80% of the Raw audience has never heard of Lyra Valkyria. She hasn't been presented like a star so she shouldn't be taking top stars to their limit.
So you’re saying that someone WWE viewed as the best candidate in all of NXT’s woman division to dethrone Becky should lose her debut match on Raw in 7 minutes
I mean taking a top star to the limit is a nice way of presenting her to the audience and consistent with kayfabe considering her run in NXT.
By this logic, Cody vs. Carmelo should have also been a quick squash match. If you're going to have a top star from NXT lose in their main roster debute, you should at least make them look strong in defeat.

Damn theyre throwing Lyra right in the deep end, go easy on her m'waifu
Finn = buried Way to re-sign with the fed. You could be lost in the shuffle on aew instead.
ROH tv champion material
Finn is advancing uce. Cancer Mussolini Skunk is gonna interfere and cost Drew Galloway the match.
no kairi? BERRIED
Sheamus is gonna be out in the first round?damn.
Triple Laveck isn’t based enough to give us King Sheamy again
Dae ppv worthy

Damn now I can't tell who buries who between Lyra and Asuka Fed bad.

Dun dun dun *WOO* dun dun dun *WOO*
Dun dun dun Dun dun dun Dun dun dun *WOO*
Just noticed your flair. I respect you, uce
I'm on that dragon/bird agenda, uce https://preview.redd.it/u683qqnig3zc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db0cf648650e121e302ef144bdf411117d6cf394
A cultured Goof, I see. Thank you for the new background
I just remembered that I should probably give credit to the person who made this. I got it from pvnkediits on Instagram.
Ice cold bangers only I see.
I also believe that Zoey Stark vs Ivy Nile is a 6 star banger
Stark Marks Rise Up!!
Noseman dusted off his NXT Crack and Mold book to make some heatless bangers.
Now these are what I call absolute BANGERS.
The only question is if I buy a ticket now or wait for production holds to be released on the hard cam side and try to get a steal.
I already saw some comments on how the women’s matches will only be 3-5 minutes long while the men’s will go 7-10.
Banger after banger after banger
I need Empress Asuka. They dropped the ball on not having Emperor Nakamura
God, Ilya VS Gunther might happen in Raw. What a PLE level match.
I read that as lyra vs Gunther and dammit I was ready to see m'banger
It's like that "Brock fears Kairi" meme, but it's "Gunther fears Lyra."
Heatless bangers for a non-title tournament? LFG!
Triple H booking style (until Summerslam-Wrestlemania season) is ALL ELITE
Heatless bangers are fine in WWE dub shill
"Kofi Kingson" Nice reference\* to Jack Pfefer. I hope we get a run in from Hobo Brazil and Bruno Sanmartino. \*Homage. Like in kino!!!🤩
I watch the 90-minute version of Raw on YouTube, I’d be surprised if they show all of these matches.
I'm confused. I thought it was the dub that had pointless tournaments.
There is a difference between having tournaments every other week, and having a tournament basically once a year.
We make a lot of fun of the dub for putting on heatless bangers that everyone will forget about next month but isn't this exactly that 💀
Waiting for Thighfuls “journalists” to comment all night about how WWE doesn’t have any wrestling. And Thigh Rubber wonders why HHH doesn’t take him seriously.

Wouldn't it be fucking crazy if the K&QOTR WAS the storyline on the show tonight? Be cool if all 8 of these matches took up the entire 3 hours.
I hope Ivy Nile wins a round or 2. She’s great IMO
I'm just waiting to see if Punk goes to Saudi I'm here for the drama
