That's what happens when you let someone who is higher than a kite with zero wrestling training experience be involved.

Everyone gets the Cena turn wrong now Rhea, Punk and my mailman are joining Rock lol

Travis Scott should of been told exactly what do do but it looks like they literally winged it. That's HHH trying to be cool and relevant still just like when he would never lose the title, guys like Speed and Travis get leeway someone like Tyson never did because HHH wants to tout Raw has a hit song as a theme on post shows.

Iyo isn’t on the level of Rhea and Bianca?! That is one of the most ridiculous statements I have ever read. Iyo is one of the top 3 in-ring female performers in the world today (Sareee and Mayu Iwatani being the other two) and top 10 of all time. Neither Rhea nor Bianca will ever be on Iyo’s level or accomplish as much as she has in her career.

Cracktoast · 03-04-2025, 07:10 PM

So I've been wondering is Cody getting to keep the truck or did The Rock have it repoed?

You could tell when he punched him it was a stiff shot. If they ever do a tag match with Cody/Famous person vs Rock or Cena with Scott Cody will give him a receipt for it.

I believe he was referring more to buzz and fanfare that they had over Sky. Sometimes fans just want to see who they want to see and not someone who is a really skilled in-ring performer (see Jey Uso)

No, I don't know it. I said what I said because I believe it. The spot was fine and the explanation by the ref was even better.

Carr: "I didn't stop the match because I didn't want a match with WM implications to end with a DQ."

Also Carr: Allows interference during a match that has WM implications which ultimately costs one person the title.

Yeah, great explanation. It was a stupid and unnecessary spot. And HHH never should have put Carr in that spot.

Duwal is correct (besides the dig at Jey). Belair and Ripley are WAYYYYYY bigger stars than Sky. To use hardy's words: Iyo will never be on their level of star power, ever. (Especially Rhea who is a top 5 star men or women in the company).

You're arguing with a wall.

whitmm · 03-04-2025, 11:25 PM

Justin, how dare you question your god, HHH, for sticking Iyo into the potential Rhea/Bianca WM match. According to you, he can do no wrong and he's the greatest story maker and match maker.

Cracktoast · 03-05-2025, 07:08 AM

Word on the street is Netflix may not be happy with WWE's performance so far. Last week they were barely in the top 10 list of watched shows on the platform and this weeks Raw coming off a PPV that saw several big storylines Raw only managed 8th place. Overall Raw's global viewership has now declined by 56% since debuting on Netflix.

If Netflix thought it could maintain the same numbers from the debut show then they’re idiots.

ThatGuyPal · 03-05-2025, 11:46 AM

Ratings talk post-Mon Night War is just wresting talking heads/sites trying to get clicky clicks. Does it really matter if Netflix is happy with the numbers? No, are they gonna break the contract or drop WWE? No but somehow a rumour they are unhappy these sites make newsworthy lol reminds me of the months saga regarding AEW's new TV deal.

whitmm · 03-05-2025, 11:59 AM

What were the global numbers for Raw before the move to Netflix? I'm struggling to find anything other than the live/same-day viewership numbers.

Jaypers · 03-07-2025, 01:06 PM

Lex Luger is in the 2025 WWE HOF.

Cody told him in person.

Overdue for the Total Package.

I wonder if Sting will be inducting him.

cdub6238 · 03-07-2025, 06:30 PM

Some people just can't keep their mouths shut it seems lol

1st a few weeks ago...it was Paul asking Stratton if she wanted help to make her moonsault "better"...though no idea how much, if any was for "content/story"

Now..of all people...news has come out about Jade Cargill not being liked very much backstage...stemming from an incident last year with Shayna Baszler, saying SHE needed to "improve her in ring skills"....lol

Most apparently also think she faked her injury...as she requested time off for the holidays...but was told the tour was mandatory..then whoops, I have an injury

Logan asked if she "wanted help" making her moonsault "better"..Ludvig (her bf) got pissed and chased him around..

She was suppose to go on his podcast, but that happened..and she was replaced last minute

He made a few comments/jokes about it since...there is video of Michael Hayes saying Paul was just trying to hit on her etc

So..yeah..not sure how much, if any, was real or just for contemt/storylines etc

DrZman · 03-07-2025, 08:22 PM

Ahh fun stuff, appreciate the explanation. I think there was a rumor Vinci got dropped from Imperium for something similar.

Long overdue, good to see its finally happening. Sting is the obvious choice, but is he under any kind of AEW contract?

Jaypers · 03-07-2025, 09:18 PM

So, the Jade "whodunnit" ends with the obvious choice.

Wish they could've gone with the better answer. Naomi just doesn't scream "heel".

Cracktoast · 03-07-2025, 10:29 PM

It's clear they went with Naomi because everyone had figured out it was Bianca and in usual WWE fashion they changed it up so they could say how everyone got it wrong.

Naomi will come out week after week planting seeds for Bianca's delayed heel turn. Belair wins at WM then Jade wins MITB. Bianca starts talking all paranoid about how Naomi was right and she sees it all clearly now and turns on Jade with Naomi's help setting up a title match at Summer Slam.

ThatGuyPal · 03-08-2025, 11:10 AM

Chelsea's group is hilarious but I don't know the point of women's tag-titles when you break up women's teams for one girl to just go join another group but not be a tag-team, and half the time two singles stars are just the champs.

I think there's still a chance that Bianca is eventually revealed to have been the mastermind of it and this is just to throw ppl of the trail.

So Alba Fyre is joining Chelsea? I assume that means she'll team up with Piper now?

Good Cody promo last night I thought.

Charlotte attacking Tiffany is a good way to build that up, but not looking forward to Charlotte/B-Fab next week

ThatGuyPal · 03-08-2025, 02:01 PM

Also given both CM Punk and Randy Orton mentioned and dissed Cena (Not that you can really ignore that moment) are we thinking Cena wins and ends his career doing a few hits from his biggest feuds like Punk/Orton? Feels like those matches are in the bag
