I'm still confused. Who won, Tamina or Nikki?

(one of the biggest botches in Raw history?)

So how long until they run the "Xavier Woods is the only one in New Day to never have the World Title so he has to turn heel on Big E out of jealousy" angle?

Then Woods gets squashed by Big E sent to NXT and then released and no one cares.

Calling it now, Harland aka Gunnar Harland aka Parker Boudreaux debuts during the fatal four way laying out everyone causing non-ending

[mikecala98]

NXT was highly entertaining. Some confusing stuff early on likely due to last minute changes but overall the debuting youngsters were all very impressive. Wish they kept him as Rex Steiner.

Finally they got Emily on TV as Ivy Nile

At least they did not name him Ty Rex

How long before Vince desides Harland is to long of a word and just calls him H?

Mandy Rose as brunette is smoking.

I thought NXT was pretty good last night. It was kind of a roller coaster. I liked the debut of Steiner though I thought it was strange to have LA Knight fight him when he was fighting for the title the same night. Then I thought the show got a little bit a way from them...

I thought B-Fabs debut was pretty meh (I did enjoy the Legado/ Hit Row feud continuing) and I thought the low point of the night was Carmelo and Trick... That whole segment went really bad for me those two lacked confidence (understandable) and the their characters were not well defined at all. That whole segment was really disappointing.

I thought the rest of the show was pretty darn good though. I was impressed with all 6 women in the big tag match. The Diamond Mine looked really good in the squash and I thought the title match while short was good and it was great to see Ciampa get the title back!!! While the wedding was a total car crash it was the best kind of car crash!!! I am excited to see what they give us moving forward.

What the hell happened to Charlotte Flair's face?

[Jericho]

Good start for NXT 2.0. A good mix of people we already know and bringing in young guys.

Ciampa winning the title was a little surprising but happy to see it.

The Wedding was funny and everything it should have been. Was awesome seeing Theory back with the gang.

[natbornkiller]

so brock wins as a reward for darkside of the ring (see the uso bro with a recent dwu)

Looks like WWE is reacting to AEW Dynamite beating Raw in the TV ratings. First Big E cash in, then Roman Reigns on Raw, soon they'll have the draft too which may attract some viewers. I still can't imagine Raw being a more enjoyable show overall than SmackDown, Dynamite, or Rampage no matter what they do.

[Jericho]

SD had some good and some bad.

I do find it odd that Becky hasnt really taken a bump since she came back. Usually the face would get SOMETHING in, but nothing yet for Belair. Im not a Belair fan really. but she has gotten fans behind her, but IDK if they'll take the title off Becky this quick (I kind of hope they do though)

[cdub6238]

RAW started sooooo good with opening promo, 6 man tag and aftermath...

Only to ruin it with ANOTHER pointless week of Eva and Doudrop...which is exactly what all the talking heads feared, Eva bodyshaming..

Piper deserves better...

[cdub6238]

And are they really trying to make us feel bad for Nia and turn her face?? hahahahahahahaha

[7jacfire]

Other than the Eva/Doudrop stuff, I'd say that was one of the best Raws I've seen in recent memory. Can't think of anything else that stood out as bad, with both the opening match and main event being really good.

[fulltritty]

The Orton/Styles match was really good last night.

[indyguy]

Solid Raw last night. Didn't find myself fast forwarding through any of it, like usual.

Is Charlotte cosplaying Dee Snider?

Orton/Styles was great. 6 man tag to start was good. Main event was good.

Even the crowd getting into the "Charlie" chants was good.

I'd love to see WWE get rid of splitting the roster. Just put everyone into one pool and use RAW and Smackdown to move things along. Hell, sprinkle some NXT people in there too, as needed. I think it would keep things from feeling stale.

[cdub6238]

I thought it was a typical average/ hit or miss RAW imo

As I said..it started great! Opening segment, 6 man and aftermath..

I didnt like the backstage Lashley segment..his promo was off a bit, and nothing really happened, he said what he said and then everybody looked at each other awkwardly before he walked off

Eva just needs to go away...3 weeks in a row of that garbage

Agree Randy and AJ was pretty damn good, except for the ending imo. The Spiderman meme was pretty funny, but then made AJ just look stupid by walking right into a DDT and rko...

Shayna and Nia match was awful...after was even worse; Nia was the 1 that has been running her mouth the past several months when they were a team, and even 2 weeks ago before Shaynas match and distracting her...but were suppose to feel bad for her now? Huh?? Shaynas acting was pretty good though

The tag match was fine. Other than having Humberto turn heel for no reason out of the blue lol but match was good

Womens tag was terrible...several botches, and new tag champs with a...rollup!!

Alexa Charlotte back and forth was pretty good imo...I'm sure most was gone over beforehand, but some off that stuff seemed to fly off right on the spot n Alexa looked and sounded kinda pissed and out of character for a bit, maybe that's how it was supposed to be though if so good job lol

Hardy Sheamus was fine..brawl after was fine..nothing to write home about

Main event was pretty damn good. Except my only issue...why book it in the 1st place?

Its RAW, the SD champ won after the Raw champ was abused by a chair, and now the once unstoppable Lashley has now lost 2 big matches in a row...

Again match was great! Just..not sure in the why it was needed

[mnvikingstwins]

haven't seen the full episode yet but Joe Gacy character has huge potential as a heel once he gets aggressive/violent

[Jericho]

Excellent Raw on Monday, with only the Eva/Doudrop match being bad.

NXT last night was better than last week I thought. Looking forward to next week's show with 3 title matches

[indyguy]

Really enjoyed Extreme Rules last night.

Demon/Reigns was highly entertaining. Still trying to process that ending though.

No real complaints from the show, other than who I thought should have or shouldn't have won, but that's just personal preference really.
