They're really missing the boat at Blood Money. Can you imagine the matches they could have?
- Life or Limb Match: Like literally.
- Chainsaw on a Pole Match
- Reporters Rumble: Winner gets invited to the Consulate
- Guillotine Match: Pretty self explanatory

www.fightful.com/wrestling/exclusives/wwe-looking-make-hour-3-raw-stand-out-moreWWE Looking To Make Hour 3 Of Raw Stand Out More Sean Ross SappMAY 21, 201912:13AM EDT It's time to shake things up a bit, again. Fightful Select has learned from WWE sources what seemed pretty obvious during Monday's edition of Raw -- they're looking to change things up in hour three of their show. You may have noticed that there were heavy changes to the look of WWE Raw in the third hour tonight. The lights were lowered, the Titantron and mats were darkened, and Mick Foley mentioned "Raw's third hour was getting more Raw," or something of that nature, which confusingly led some to believe the 24/7 title would be featured only in the third hour.
However, we're told that the comment was made more to set the stage in differentiating the third hour from the rest of the show, with a unique look. This will also apply to some of the graphics you see moving forward. More "Raw" was the buzzword that was presented to Fightful when we asked around about the changes. Sounds a lot like Bischoff in '99 when he changed the Nitro set instead of booking a better product. Set design won't mean shit if the show sucks. |

Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Aleister Black & Daniel Bryan all won't be at Blood Money.
Good for them

So now that we know Moxley leaving wasn't a work, I'm even more stunned on how much exposure he was given on the way out. Any thoughts on why the E went that route with him?

I'm sure they thought he'd resign.
Someone was fired once he really left.

Sort of think they'd be better off going back to ROH. While AEW might be a decent fit, I think ROH is better for these two at the time being. Really is amazing how WWE did zero with these two. Almost wish he would've gone to NXT first instead of immediately main roster

AEW can't just become the landing ground for ex-WWE guys.
Agree about Bennett and Maria. Go back to ROH with Taven.

Almost wish he would've gone to NXT first instead of immediately main roster Mike being a drug addict and Maria getting pregnant soon after kinda kills a push. I have been liking their stuff on 205 Live. |

But they introduced them as Maria met him working at a greeting card store and she showed him the power of love. How the fuck are you going to make that work?
Yeah she got pregnant and he had pain killer issues, but he got clean and in the best shape of his life and she gave birth in April 2018.
They've done zero with them, aside from the occasional solid 205 Live match (his match with Tozawa was really good).
Pairing him back with Taven might be good in ROH. If they go to AEW, I suppose they'd be good mid card acts. They worked with Brandi & Cody in TNA.

Breeze is full time NXT now. Triple H said it in the conference call today. Love that move.
I know Fandango is coming back from injury and while the Fashion Police were funny, i don't want them teaming again, especially not in NXT. I want Breeze on his own. Honestly repackage Dango to a more serious talent, let him try to get over in NXT with a new character. Do some vignettes, have a match every 3-4 weeks, slowly bring him back.
If he just comes back as Fandango, he'll be one of the guys running after Truth for the 24/7 title.

Let Mojo develop his "talking to a mirror" persona down there instead of being buried on the main roster. Change Jose to a more serious, LAX-style character. |

I'm honestly so over Mojo and Jose that i don't think even NXT could save them. NXT 4 years ago maybe, but it's so loaded with talent now that I think they'd be bottom tier even in NXT and that's being generous.
I'd release them both honestly. Mojo can party with Gronk and Jose can...no idea.
I wanted Jose to become a drug dealer and all of his conga line were his customers just looking for a fix. PG era can't really do that I suppose.

My mind immediately went to that too, haha. 10 weeks left in this cycle of RAW vs Smackdown 2006.
They've had to have banked some recently at the PPV. Maybe Breeze makes the trip to Saudi and they bank some more? That could potentially be the only positive to come from this Saudi show, Creed & Prince Petty film more Battle of the Brands.
When I met Breeze last month, I was so psyched I could talk to him briefly about that, haha. Mercy Rule!!

Not sure where else to put this, but can I just say how refreshing it is to have a fantastic Takeover on Saturday and know you don't have to sit through a 6 hour PPV the next day?

Jinder Mahal beat R-Truth on a golf course this afternoon for the 24/7 title. He promptly lost it back to R-Truth who is now a 10 time 24/7 champion.
AEW can't start fast enough.

Just watched the clip. I'm ashamed to say this, but I laughed. Jinder was in full gear when he showed up at the golf course. The visual of that got me. The title still sucks though. |

I'm not crazy about the execution, but I still like this idea. I thought the golf course thing was solid. But why was a camera there? |

NXT folks got new names and they...are...awful...
Trevor Lee is Cameron Grimes
Jessie Elaban is Jessi Kamea
Eric Bugenhagen is Rik Bugez
Adrian Jaoude is Arturo Ruas
Luke Menzies is Ridge Holland
The fact that they changed Eric Bugenhagen is a travesty. I know he usually talks about The Bugez Cruise and obviously shortening Eric to Rik, but damn, Bugenhagen was a sold name, maybe because it's his real name?

Jinder beat Truth for the title at the airport tarmac in Saudi. He got away before Truth could regain the title. Obviously Carmella wasn't there to save Truth because, you know, Saudi. |

Truth pinned Jinder while he was asleep on the plane to regain the title. He then realized he was trapped on a plane with everyone who wanted his title (aka 205 Live & Main Event guys) and locked himself in the bathroom with the "24/7 European TV Title"
Sad thing is I care more about this title than most of the product. Which is depressing.

Forgot to add one more notable name change in NXT
DJZ is now Joaquin Wilde
Judging by house show pics, he's still in his cool light up ring attire and DJ look, but he's just not DJZ anymore. Joaquin Wilde, sure, whatever.

These NXT names are Canyon Ceman getting back at his parents without realizing it.
