[Scandale du Jour]

Is... is Reigns being deleted?

He is a Cousin Nero.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Yo, Demon Balor vs. Seth

I'm disappointed a bit that Sasha won the title tonight, but Balor going over Roman clean and now faces Seth, I love it and I love wrestling

Considering the reaction and the moment, I am fine with Sasha winning tonight. It worked out.

Means Bayley is the one that gets the big PPV crown some day.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Is... is Reigns being deleted?

Since they were teasing Reigns vs. Balor for the title after Summerslam I'm going with a solid no.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I don't remember the last time I added TWO matches from Raw to my list of top matches of the year let alone FOUR from a single show.

Insane.

I literally have no complaints. This show didn't drag at all.

 

[The Gongshow]

Great RAW

SummerSlam Card:

Universal Championship: Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins
WWE Championship: Dean Ambrose (C) vs TBA
Women's Championship: Charlotte vs Sasha Banks (C)
Brock Lesner vs Randy Orton

 

[Emperoreddy]

Perfectly fine with the return of squashes. Gets your monster's over, but no one outstays their welcome.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

SummerSlam Card:

Universal Championship: Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins
WWE Championship: Dean Ambrose (C) vs TBA
Women's Championship: Charlotte vs Sasha Banks (C)
Brock Lesner vs Randy Orton

Solid looking card before the lower card matches have been announced.

 

[Cor]

I wonder where that leaves Roman for SS?

Maybe a feud with Rusev? Give Rusev a legit challenger, and give Roman a fresh start away from the title scene?

 

[Cor]

Solid looking card before the lower card matches have been announced.

Especially if they give Dean the right opponent, and Sasha/Charlotte can even come close to the performance they did tonight

 

[Cor]

Also, tonight just helped SmackDown so much.

Who isn't going to tune in to SmackDown after Raw tonight?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Wait, both roster still do dark matches on other brands, *****?

 

[Shoalzie]

Credit to Raw...great matches and they didn't even have Rollins involved in any of them.

 

[NYRKING30]

Wrestlemania should be superbly stacked. I think after last night and tonight ill be sticking around for awhile wether Brock is there or isn't there. Tomorrow I have work but if I was off tomorrow and just watched a 3 hr ppv and 3 hr raw in 2 nights followed by a 2 hr Smackdown the following night I think I'd be completely exhausted. I don't think even the Attitude Era could have done that. Who knows, I just wanna see them keep this up. 80% sure SummerSlam will be my first ever live event and cannot wait.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Is... is Reigns being deleted?

actually he's getting fatter.

 

[saintflannel]

Wait, both roster still do dark matches on other brands, *****?

Maybe they're just living up to prior commitments. Ambrose vs. Rollins is advertised for Buffalo.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Wait, both roster still do dark matches on other brands, *****?

It's just because they advertised it for live crowds. Same way they advertised Reigns and Rollins for Smackdown tomorrow - it's just dark for the live audience.

 

[The Gongshow]

White and gold Cross Fit Jesus vs black and red Demon at Summer Slam!!!!!

Hoping Seth wears his summerlsam gear from last year to go up against Fins Demon paint

 

[ColePens]

Yeah I like the small changes they've done tonight (from the new intro/set up, the announcer table near the ramp, to the squash matches with jobbers, to the interviews post-match), it's these small changes that make a difference at the end of the day.

The ratings won't show right away, but if they stay at this level... the ratings will do nothing but move north. Friends are going to tell friends that Raw was great. If they stay at that level, then it will just keep bringing people back to wrestling.

First night post-brand split... awesome. Really awesome. It's imperative they keep this level or else it won't matter.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Sounds like it was a good RAW. The brand split still has me at zero interest though but I'll tune in for summer slam since its summer slam. Also, Finn Balor doesn't do much for me, I find him to be the Irish Lance Storm, who I was actually a big fan of, but yeah.

 

[GKJ]

Considering the reaction and the moment, I am fine with Sasha winning tonight. It worked out.

Means Bayley is the one that gets the big PPV crown some day.

I had a dream about my summerslam weekend, Sasha winking the title for the first time was at the front of the line.

But I also have to remember why I really honest-to-god had my interest in wrestling ramped back up, since last year that would've culminated it, but the ability to have wrestling emote is the bigger reason. I'm typically someone who can remove myself out of the larger picture, and try to remember that. It's like if the Flyers win the Cup in Game 5 and you have tickets to Game 6

 

[BonMorrison]

I'm wondering if having Reigns losing all these clean matches means anything. Perhaps a character change. I'd like to think a heel turn but I think they're just tweaking so he's just angrier and more aggressive all the time like when he wrecked Triple H that one time.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Maybe they're just living up to prior commitments. Ambrose vs. Rollins is advertised for Buffalo.

That was the advertised match when tickets went on sale, but tonight they changed the advertised match to a 6-man tag with Cena, Ambrose, and Reigns vs. Styles, Rollins, and Wyatt.
