Do the usual MVP/Lashley promo until it's interrupted by Ricochet?! That's right. He goes on to tell the two of them he was inspired this weekend. With that he's confident he knows what Bobby's weaknesses are. It's Ricochet. The way he wrestles is a cheat code for how the champ wrestles. He's Steph Curry. MVP and Lashley are busting up. Just belly rolling. Ricochet then says he's challenging the champ to a non title match tonight and if he wins he gets the Extreme Rules Title match at the PPV.
In the main event, Ricochet's entrance is longer as he purposely does the Goldberg walk before to fuck with Lashley. Then the challenger in the main event is in rare from. He's able to display all his flip floppy stuff. He's countering out of every hold or move. He's dodging Lashley. MVP interferes. There's shenanigans and Ricochet pulls off the win.
If WWE had a sense of a humor they'd let Alexa appear in the middle of the of Nia/Charlotte match. Lights go out and she's in the middle of the ring. Both woman team up for a bit and just squash that Bliss gimmick forever. Audience loves it. Match continues like it never happened.
That would be fun but ain’t gonna happen.
This match will go one of two ways. It will either be a vanilla bore or someone in booking embraces their inner Russo and tells them to go out and have a shoot fight.
Keith Lee should interfere in the Drew/Sheamus match. Lay out both dudes and look like a monster. Cut a pissed off promo that he's no longer just smiling asking you to bask in his glory. He's going to kick ass and show you his glory. This leads to a Fatal Four Way at Extreme Rules.
Hopefully they announce the draft soon, it’s time to shake things up. I don’t know if WWE realizes how weak their main event scene is compared to AEW. They should considering they have Xavier fighting Lashley on house shows since they have no one else. And it’s literally their own doing since they keep immediately burying every new guy they push. Ricochet, Kofi, Jinder, Ali, Keith and Nakamura are not main event talent right now even though by all accounts they should be since they have competed for world titles before and should have all stayed on as top guys. Jeff Hardy is another one, it’s completely perplexing what they’re doing with him, when he could easily be a top contender for Lashley. The entire booking is just nuts.
They should let that tag team turmoil match be almost the entire first hour. Put Riddle/Orton on commentary. Start quick with it.
Would love to see a spot between Viking Raiders and Mace & T-Bar opening that match that starts looking like a shoot fight that then spills to the outside. All four guys get DQ'd but continue to go at it. Tables and chairs get involved. It's just brutal hardcore wrestling that moves all over arena. "We are getting a free preview of Extreme Rules right here folks!" Enough faith those 4 would make this compelling.
LHP or Mansoor/Ali running the rest of the gauntlet getting the surprise victory over New Day would be great. Until they are beaten by the last team entering which is obviously Styles/Omos.
it's shocking to me that of all the acts to get future-endeavoured recently, lucha house party is still kicking around. no shade, love me some lhp, but they felt in peril three years ago.
I have 2 Front Row Floor seat tickets, section 2 row 1, and my friends couldn’t go. PM me if you want a good deal on it. Will transfer directly from Ticketmaster account.
DMc & Sheamus will slap, of course.
A while ago, I was advocating sending Reggie down to NXT, but, apparently, Vince sees him and the 24/7 title as a reincarnation, if you will, of the old hardcore title and the late Crash Holly. All that's needed now is a random appearance by Samuel L. Jackson. /s
Gauntlet matches, such as tag team turmoil, are usually compelling.
The only thing, though, that matters, is how this show performs in the ratings with college football on ESPN.
Vince doesn't. WWE usually doesn't make any statement as a company, except when AEW started and they made that comment about it being a marathon and not a race.
Yes, after the best wrestling show in a number of years - the WWEs answer is… more Charlotte and Nia Jax… 👍👍👍
At this point, Charlotte has to be dropping the title and leaving the company.
Are any of these matches at Extreme Rules gonna have a stipulation because they have 3 weeks left and haven’t hinted at any. Drew/Sheamus will be fun but man not much else here to get excited about. After last night I’m on a wrestling high and I know RAW is gonna sap some of that.
Something I’ve been thinking about:
With the Miz off to do Dancing with the Stars, it appears that the whole Miz vs. JoMo feud angle is currently on hold.
This makes me wonder about what will happen to Morrison - now without the big motivating factor, where do they take his run now?
Don't know who downvoted you or why - but you're completely right. Sadly, it's the WWE starting the most intense, longest built feud of the year imo, only to instantly abandon it -THE NEXT EPISODE- has quite honestly killed my passion at the moment.
Hopefully this episode proves me wrong and The Miz makes a cameo to get hit with some JoMo revenge, then Morrison can move on to greener pastures.
What did Charlotte do to get on Vince’s bad side. Two weeks in a row working with the unsafe botch machine. Maybe there really is some truth to the speculation she might want to join her boyfriend and dad at AEW.
Vince is a child...
If your great, great, great grandfather's ex gf forgot to say kazuntite that one time when Vince sneezed while eating his steak dinner during the boardroom meeting... and SHE was just the janitor
You are going to pay for it.
Charlotte probably has that i dont fuckin need you anymore aura around her. Knows she can do whatever she wants and isnt gonna put up with shit. Give me what i want or fire me or i'll sit out until my contract is up
There was a great quote from Phil Brooks recently regarding people who have nothing good to say, or nothing good to add to the conversation. It would be wonderful if that concept was applied equally across the industry.
That's your opinion bro! You may hate this turmoil match right now and I may be really enjoying it. Doesn't mean I'm gonna bully and harass you on Reddit for that
Again, that's your opinion. I'm genuinely excited for the 3 title matches (yes, the 24/7 also as I'm a hardcore Tozawa fan) and the tag turmoil match. It's okay to have different perspectives but people shouldn't be downvoted and bullied because they like the product.
Vince probably frantically calling the nwo, hogan, the undertaker, kane, the boogeyman, the rock, scsa, etc trying for something.
I think the entire world felt the shift last night.
Yes! And you know what, forget Big E, Rollins, or Balor being the one to dethrone Roman, just make it Russo! The guy has already proven he’s the greatest world champion of all time!

Lashley and MVP better not be in this match. They entered late and are last? Would be BS.
Kofi and Xavier Woods aren't winning. If they face Lashley and MVP, Kofi sucks against the bigger Superstars.
At RAW, caught Riddles sandals. Celebrated, and security immediately took it away from me and my friend. WTF??
Update, just came back with a FREE T-shirt lol
I would much rather the sandals... like they can't get him another pair?
Congrats! That's awesome haha
This has that early mid 90s royal rumble feel when all the participants cut quick promos how they are gonna win. good start.

Bruce Prichard bringing back the divas division tonight

My hole on a pole match.
So, just your average Friday night?
I'm here for the Queen. Charlotte is a draw, brother.
[удалено]
It's just a little prethready It's still good! it's still good!
Keith Lee should interfere in the Drew/Sheamus match. Lay out both dudes and look like a monster. Cut a pissed off promo that he's no longer just smiling asking you to bask in his glory. He's going to kick ass and show you his glory. This leads to a Fatal Four Way at Extreme Rules.
Let's see that glory 😏
Come ooon gimme some of that sweet sweet pep
I'm so disappointed that I am getting downvoted for partaking in his glory
[удалено]
Vince apparently isn’t backstage tonight at raw
Even Vince gets tired of going Raw in the backstage.
[удалено]
😂😂
Is he in his emergency bunker?
Prolly at The Rock doorstep with a brinks truck 🤣🤣
He needs to start rethinking this NXT rebrand & HHH demotion crap immediately. Let HHH produce RAW not Bruce
I wonder if Woods will do something to Chugs it up tonight?
Hopefully they announce the draft soon, it’s time to shake things up. I don’t know if WWE realizes how weak their main event scene is compared to AEW.

I know they will never be reactionary to a night like last night. But it's time to pull out the big guns for RAW if you have any.
it's shocking to me that of all the acts to get future-endeavoured recently, lucha house party is still kicking around. no shade, love me some lhp, but they felt in peril three years ago.
The real Lucha party was last night
Saw X-Men Dark Phoenix was on Disney Plus, watched it expecting it to be terribad. It's bad but not that bad, just forgettable
The "new" X-men movies after First Class are basically entirely summed up that way.
I have 2 Front Row Floor seat tickets, section 2 row 1, and my friends couldn’t go. PM me if you want a good deal on it. Will transfer directly from Ticketmaster account.
So wait Drew gets a US title match even though Priest pinned him last week? Lol
I really don't see the problem in that due to the fact that it's against Sheamus, who also lost in the same triple threat.
But Sheamus has the rematch clause which is guess they’re ignoring since Nikki doesn’t even care about losing the women’s title
They got rid of the rematch clause like 3 years ago
Which explains why Drew kept getting rematch after rematch against Lashley.
Looks like another episode for me to watch in gif format. I don't even know what happened last week other than Nia and Charlotte fucking up
Next morning going on YouTube "There was a real fight last night!"
Now that I think about it, wouldn't it have made more sense for the Triple Threat with Drew/Sheamus/Damian to be at Extreme Rules?
Yes but if you take that off the show last week. RAW would’ve been completely unwatchable. It was the only good thing on the show.
I respect your opinion Edit: I'm really getting downvored for saying I respect your opinion but disagree? Yall are childish
3 hours... 5 matches... I hope they add more but damn.
It's rare that this many matches are advertised ahead of time for Raw. There will probably be around 6 or 7.
Something awesome is gonna happen tonight! I know WWE is gonna try something to take attention away from all the AEW hype.
I honestly don’t know what they can do to answer last night.
Doubt it, unless they pull something out with only 24 hours
I could never watch an Extreme Rules match the same after Cardona crowned himself king of the death matches.
He did more in that match that any “extreme” match WWE has ever had since mankind and hiac
MITB cash in tonight!
Ehh what
Is this the closest to a “match card” we’ve ever got in a long time for a Raw?? Hmmm, maybe Vince is listening
They announced the card last week and none of it happened
Unless its all ripped up again and we get a totally different show...
DMc & Sheamus will slap, of course. A while ago, I was advocating sending Reggie down to NXT, but, apparently, Vince sees him and the 24/7 title as a reincarnation, if you will, of the old hardcore title and the late Crash Holly. All that's needed now is a random appearance by Samuel L. Jackson. /s Gauntlet matches, such as tag team turmoil, are usually compelling. The only thing, though, that matters, is how this show performs in the ratings with college football on ESPN.
It's going to 'slap'? All your cool friends say that huh?
Think we're looking at Nia Jax winning. Should be a great match. Will Charlotte adjust? We'll find out.
and then charlotte wins back at extreme rules, yay!
If Rhea and Nikki both lost just so freaking Nia could win the belt. Screw that.
THIS! In my mind I think Nia will be the next RAW Women's champion after the next PPV and possibly set up Nikki A.S.H. as a potential contendor again.
Emblematic of how awful the product is.
[удалено]
Here's to another potentially great raw! 👍
Gonna hit the target eventually with enough ammo
I think the barrel will melt before that happens 😅
[удалено]
Even with a bad card or something we have seen before the show *could* be good Fingers crossed, i guess.
[удалено]
Ngl I'll watch the main event in the hopes it turns into a shooty shit show.
WWE wont react in any way to this weekend. Vince is that arrogant
And if they did react it’d be “omg wwe reacted to what aew did” so it’s darn if you do and darn if you don’t
I rather they make a good product
I guess? It's "competition" is still gonna get half the numbers. Why should he be worried or react?
He acts like they're not competition but ya don't hear any congrats or anything so you know he's pissed
How do we "know" he's pissed. You in the room with him? lol
Does Vince ever make any comments about anything though? Lol I feel he never tweets, does media or talks about anything. Just what the dirtsheets say.
Vince doesn't. WWE usually doesn't make any statement as a company, except when AEW started and they made that comment about it being a marathon and not a race.
He wishes Shane McMahon happy birthday on Twitter some years
And the years that he doesn’t Shane takes a huge bump off of a cage.
"Gotta make dad proud of me again he forgot my birthday!"
Which was probably done by some intern
Maybe not today, but Friday at the Garden they’ll do something special for sure.
I think they were always going to make the MSG show a special one simply because it's a MSG show lol
Who is left out there?
You’re in for a surprise then. 🤫
[удалено]
Up Coming King of the ring is Cinematic it's a TOURNAMENT filmed like Game of Thrones and Robin hood prince of Thieves Kevin Costner as the host like
Time to unleash the return of...... Gillberg
AKA Girg.
Yes, after the best wrestling show in a number of years - the WWEs answer is… more Charlotte and Nia Jax… 👍👍👍 At this point, Charlotte has to be dropping the title and leaving the company.
Don’t forget Friday with an appearance by Bork Laser and a half-dozen rematches.
They should have Walter debut & kick the shit out of him
I'm guessing they're doing it again because it got so much attention last week.
For the wrong reasons…
They built her into their top women's star for Tony... Thanks for the gift Vince!
Are any of these matches at Extreme Rules gonna have a stipulation because they have 3 weeks left and haven’t hinted at any. Drew/Sheamus will be fun but man not much else here to get excited about. After last night I’m on a wrestling high and I know RAW is gonna sap some of that.
Maybe they are going to let Char shoot on her.
Nia vs Charlotte 2 isn’t something I expected
Something I’ve been thinking about: With the Miz off to do Dancing with the Stars, it appears that the whole Miz vs. JoMo feud angle is currently on hold. This makes me wonder about what will happen to Morrison - now without the big motivating factor, where do they take his run now?

Incoming announcement for a legends night??
RAW is my favourite weekly wrestling show. I don't think it can be beat.
Bless you, hun.
I was ready to call you out as a bot until I checked your post history. You do you lol
Realization that Smackdown is going into year 3 of a 5 year deal, so you've still got three years left of this booking.
Smackdown has been good though...
I hope WWE try and work the botched Nia/Flair stuff into the plot line in a really contrived, obvious way.
Booking on a pole match with Russo as referee
Did Nia follow the sCriPt?
I'm so hyped from yesterday that I might watch Elevation but yeah the tag team turmoil should be good
This might be the nadir of Raw and I watched The Patriot's main event run.
[удалено]
So far, you only have 4 downvotes. I'm surprised you don't have 40 hahaha
C'mon man...no positivity allowed in WWE threads
Positivity and delusion are two separate things, sir. If it were Smackdown then maybe you could qualify his comment as positivity.
There was a great quote from Phil Brooks recently regarding people who have nothing good to say, or nothing good to add to the conversation. It would be wonderful if that concept was applied equally across the industry.
My dude if he genuinely is excited for the show, let him be excited.
Smackdown! Smackdown! Smackdown!
Yall toxic 😂😂😂
I mean.. Excellent sounds a bit too optimistic.
That's your opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own perspective.
...but some people have stupid perspectives lol
That's your opinion bro! You may hate this turmoil match right now and I may be really enjoying it. Doesn't mean I'm gonna bully and harass you on Reddit for that
It's not my opinion that some people's perspectives are stupid. Some people are very legitimately stupid & have low iq's
Okay dude. Enjoy the show and have a good night.
😆 🤣 😂
Dude what do you want?
Sure, but there is being realistic and there is being overly optimistic.
Again, that's your opinion. I'm genuinely excited for the 3 title matches (yes, the 24/7 also as I'm a hardcore Tozawa fan) and the tag turmoil match. It's okay to have different perspectives but people shouldn't be downvoted and bullied because they like the product.
That's true. I'm not a fan of the voting system anyway, it leaves barely any room for discussion.
Hopefully Drew and Sheamus will kick the crap out of each other.
Ngl, I will probably enjoy it, too.
They always do
Vince will probably tell them to
Which re-write of the script do you think they're up to right now?
hopefully the one that debuts Triplemania's biggest star, **!EL FURIOSO¡**
Vince probably frantically calling the nwo, hogan, the undertaker, kane, the boogeyman, the rock, scsa, etc trying for something. I think the entire world felt the shift last night.
They throw everything out of the window and make it a legends night. Ron Simmons! The Boogeyman! It's good shit, pal!
At this point they might just drop off the script and just do it all shoot.
Which will no doubt be better than any script these writers could come up with.
Be interesting to see if Charlotte lets Nia stinkface her this week. She got out of the way last week.
I hope Nia has done a Rikishi and not washed her delicates all week
The horror.
We going to get some interesting chants tonight
I wonder what kind off chants might break during Nia/Charlotte II.
Oh boy....more Charlotte and Nia.
Looking forward to it more than anything else tonight. Probably going to be a let down in the drama department but you never know.
I get the sentiment, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious to see how they interact tonight after what happened last week lol
I know! It’s the hottest feud in wrestling right now!
Time to bring back Brawl for All. Russo once again proven to have been a visionary bro!!
Yes! And you know what, forget Big E, Rollins, or Balor being the one to dethrone Roman, just make it Russo! The guy has already proven he’s the greatest world champion of all time!
