Will we have a fresh match or angle? Probably not. Who knows.
Here comes Braun.

Best Raw thread title this year. Not a ton of competition since I've created most.

Fun factoid: the chains holding those briefcases were actually used in a CIA blacksite, the location of which we cannot reveal at this time.

I'm going to be plowing through some Westworld episodes tonight but I'll check in.

I like Braun’s promos. Simple, straight to the point and it just works for him.

They're giving us a ton of Braun, Rollins, and Elias. Good sign. Hope it isn't beaten to death until everyone is bored of all three.

But I do believe he actually gives a shit about veterans and people we've lost in battle. I've heard enough people that don't even like him say it, well before the company used doing good as marketing. |

I was about to say this was a well done Raw, especially cutting the time into 1/3. Then the Nia/Ronda deal. You JUST turned Nia into a face with the fat shaming stuff. Now she's the heel against Rousey. I can accept this isn't the type of wrestling I want because it's a corporation. But how does this work with the overall vision? Time for Westworld.

Oh my God get Lashley away from a microphone.
Larry Fine had a tougher sounding voice.

Dear Bobby,
You're giving us a bad name.

P.S. Stop wearing hats. You're already bald.

Way late to the party on this show but I really liked Nia Jax's segment and enjoy her as Champion.

The best part of intermittently seeing Raw the last month or so is missing this Hardy / Wyatt stuff. I blame each and every one of you because you ALL said that you loved this broken nonsense.

Roode is just too damn generic for me. I'm still holding out hope that I like him as a heel but that hope is diminishing.

Hardy isn't Broken, he's Woken. Big difference because one is awesome and the other is WWE's bullshit knock off. 2. You should've seen by lack of comments in this thread that this show was definitely worth skipping. Of all the WWE to watch, you pick THIS, let alone this right before RAW tonight?? Roman wasn't even on the show. |

I can't trust you people though. I have to see for myself. Because amongst other things y'all told me:
- Bayley was the next Cena
- Woken/Broken was awesome <eyeroll>
- Braun Strowman is careless and bad
- Don't even get me started on our hero Roman Reigns
- Nia Jax is sloppy & bad. I enjoy her work quite a bit. Not sure she's sloppy, she's just 10x bigger than the rest of them
- The Drifter was a nobody
- Somebody even said Ruby Riott is hot
I could go on and on but I have yardwork to do. Because it's my yard. Believe that!

Bored so I'm picking apart all your examples that apply to me in some way...
-I said Bayley could've been the female equivalent of Cena in terms of merch sales for kids. Said this when she was in NXT, not when she was buried beyond repair on the main roster.
-Braun was directionless as a Wyatt, but I've admitted to being so unbelievably wrong when saying Corbin had more potential when that first draft happened (in my defense this was when Braun was still a Wyatt, but still)
-Nia is super sloppy (not as bad as when she first debuted on the main roster) in the ring and that Be A Star promo at Backlash was so ungodly bad, how anyone could defend that is beyond me. I don't like her character at all. Creative needs to utilize her unique look better instead of what they're doing. Oh Ronda could never tap Nia to an armbar? Asuka did it already!
- Your hero is Roman Reigns. Just leave that one to speak for itself.
- Drifter Rules as a character. Hasn't won me over with his actual wrestling, but his potential keeps me intrigued. Fantastic character.

I do regret watching the show for the most part. The food fight thing was atrocious. I had no desire to watch the gauntlet deal. Seth was great but I'm afraid they're going to overexpose him. The crowd sucked.
