So USA (the channel not the nation) is on but the mute is on which means automatic deaf text.
So I'm rummaging about through my cables and other electronic miscellanea and happen to look up at the T-10 minutes RAW promo, and the deaf text shows "Test Test Test Test" and for a brief moment I was confused, not unlike the cat in the famous Monty Python sketch. Which is why I thought I'd confuse you for just a moment with the idiot title if only to give you a passing moment of intrigue and wonderment at what the hell might happen on Raw. Ha Ha.
Anyway, word on the street is no Brock, and also no Cena tonight. Be glad or angry as you see fit; Vince doesn't much care what us idiots think as we're not the target demo.
Folks apparently are less than pleased with Orton's kill-the-crowd style working with Reigns. I'm sure that's just coincidence and nothing untoward would be happening; far be it from Randall to shit on anyone or anything. Shitting in something is another matter entirely.
Hold on to your shorts ... the Power Couple will open RAW tonight. Creative really is living up to their name this week.
It's almost showtime ... not what you think.

I think they're getting us ready for the champion not appearing regularly on Raw. Love this open with an official Authority coming out. Especially because Steph and Orton have traded leg wear.

Hunter: Look, I can get these idiots to chant anything. I could say $19.99. What do you think pop?

I'll bet good money that the crowd was prepped pre-show to chant $9.99.

Just turned it on. Good Lord Steph looks incredible.
How many pointless stip matches are they throwing Kane in? The Authority needs a new bodyguard/go to big guy, badly. And I don't mean Mark Henry or Big Show either.

Here's hoping we get a Chain match between Rollins & Ambrose. Then again it could be a Strap Match.
I'm sorta happy they're burning the Last Man Standing match stip now. They do it so damn much. Here's hoping they do a stip they haven't done for a while. I'm also assuming this feud will continue the next few months. Sorta want to see Ambrose/Rollins in a Hell in a Cell.

Don't know if I would've done a table spot where Reigns gets up at a 9 count, seeing as he had to sell the fuck out of an RKO through the table last week.

Kane sucks at stip matches. That ending was awful. Why not just sell the Spear & not move for 10 instead of looking like an old man trying to flail his arms trying to grab the ropes?
Then again, this was a lot better than the Stretcher Match. Not saying much, but still.

It's just a little odd that of all nights to run Cena's promo talking about him being there every night (as opposed to Brock showing up once in a while) Cena's not on the program.

I would love for Cena to show up as much as Brock.

"I'm going to leave him in a pile of blood, urine & vomit." Brock is out for Cena's blood.......and apparently his urine as well.
Strongly debating going back & counting how many times "WWE Network" is said throughout this broadcast. The more the company doesn't meet it's numbers & makes more cuts, the more they talk about the Network. I get it, but it's so overkill.

The best way to promo the Network would be to show some of the NXT guys and girls and then take them back away to the Network only.

Well, that was more entertaining than pimping Sonic hot dogs......I guess.
I was one of the few (very few) supporters of Adam Rose when he debuted. I tried, but it's not worth it anymore. Until they turn him psycho heel attacking his Rosebuds, I give up, finally I know.

Something as stupid as having his ring announcer makes ADR so much better.

I wonder how many people they'll lose as oppose to gain out of this 9.99 horseshit they're running into the ground?

Throw on a guy per week on Raw against jobbers. Then sell the heck out of them as the future and direct people to NXT on the network. |

Ambrose and Del Rio was pretty entertaining.
Tits is turning heel at Summerslam.

The HHH thing at the beginning was funny, it's the commentators that are just running the hell out of it into the ground. I know they're trying to be funny, but enough.
Lana has the voice of an angel.
I also like they're sparing us a Sin Cara match.

Don't you talk about me, my vodka, and Lana Dutch. I will pull you down by your mustache and make you humble!

Dutch obviously has the cheap heat backing him. But that was outstanding. The pace of the end of his promo should be studied by everyone at NXT. Actually, anyone thinking about being a real worker.

Anyone else wishing JBL would've saved Zeb? Only to get his ass beaten down by Rusev.
This is the most Swagger has been over in his career. And that's including the Swagger Soaring Eagle days too.

BUSY CHANGING THIS RAW AND SUMMER SLAM CARD, SO THIS WILL BE MY ONLY ELECTRONIC MESSAGE ON YOUR LITTLE WHATEVER THIS IS TONIGHT. BUT I'D LIKE TO WISH JOAN BAEZ WELL WITH HER CAREER WITH SOMETHING CALLED THE CHICAGO CUBS. JOAN, WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE THAT NIGHT IN 77' WHEN YOU WANTED PEACE, AND I WANTED ANAL. MUCH LIKE MY CONFLICT WITH TED, I WON. YOU REMEMBER. BEST WISHES JOAN. FUCK YOU EVERYONE ELSE.

"I was too busy having sex with my supermodel wife." is what The Miz should've said. Would've gotten more heat than sipping that cup of tea.
Cesaro doesn't have a match at Summerslam & he loses in 2 minutes tonight. There's something wrong about that. Even if Ziggler did get the win.

Patience. Ceasro will be a main event guy fighting Lesnar before the end of the year.
