WWE Raw

I get giving Brock the belt, save for the Rock or Cena he is the biggest star/draw in the industry. Maybe they make Brock/Roman belt vs. belt? The build in that program with Heymen has been the best thing in the sport in quite awhile, hope they don't just put it on the back burner because Roman tested positive.
Idk, they're committed to the brand splits. Brock even though it is near Mania season is still part time. Brock fueding with anyone other than Reigns or Lashley doesn't make sense. Maybe Brock vs Lash at RR. Reigns costs him the belt vs Lash somehow. Then the RR winner faces Lash. Since Brock can go to either show he chases down Reigns.
 
Sounds like E was supposed to keep the belt until Roman came down with Covid...

Wonder how Fox is going to react to the biggest draw now on USA?
 
Fitting end for Big E to lose the belt the same day the Hawks lose in the bowl game. Glad he got a run, little frustrating they seemed to scrap the Reigns/Lesner build on an audible like this, but as much as I love Big E, something was missing in his reign. Curious if they go Lesner/Lashley and Roman/Drew as the two big programs now? Royal Rumble will be interesting.


 
With Drew out, amazing that a company with over 200 talents signed a little over a year ago, will struggle to fill out a two day card in 3 months. This pretty much assures we have Cena, Austin, Taker, HBK, Foley and HHH making some sort of appearance in Dallas.
 
Who had hearing "IMPACT KNOCKOUTS CHAMPION" on WWE TV in their 2022 pool?

Caught that, combined with the tweet from TNA after, seems very intentional. Curious with the cats they let out of the bag in regards to the women's rumble (Lita, Bellas, James) last night what surprises they have up their sleeve. Bayley?

I'd love to think Dr. Britt could show up, but even if he could be talked into it, I doubt Vince would put up with the several self-congratulatory tweets that would undoubtedly come from Tony Kahn for saving the Rumble.

Asuka? Rousey just had a kid and even then I believe she's done with it.
They really botched Ripley's character. That is a big reason it feels so vacant.

Looks like Sasha is out, so guessing why that is why Charlotte is in the Rumble, Raw may send someone like Doo Drop or Bianca/Liv, whomever isn't facing Becky. Asuka would be a good candidate if she is healthy, Alexa looks to be back before the Rumble, some grumbling online that Paige may be able to return to the ring? Bayley returning would instantly help which ever brand they put her on.
 
Charlotte hasn't done them any favors either. Forgotten about Baszler. It just seems like any new talent that goes up against Charlotte gets diminished. With clunky matches or lame angles.
 
Who said indy wrestling was dead?
350,000 watched on twitch last night...
Thunder Rosa vs Taya Valkyrie was awesome.

 
Watching Jericho vs Omega from WK12 on AXS TV right now...the build up to that match and the execution of it was a thing of beauty...so happy NJPW is returning to AXS in March

 
And for those in the Des Moines area...Revolver has some talent at their shows...looks like the next one in Clive is in April...this was from last Friday's "Once Upon a Time in Iowa" show...

 
Finally watched Darkside of the Ring. Started with the New Jack episode. Laughed really hard at things that shouldn't be funny. Jack Jack I can't feel my legs. Don't worry u won't need them. Amazing how charisma can keep u from facing consequences.
Beating a 72 year old man
Stabbing an opponent 9 times
Throwing an opponent off a scaffold
Mass Transit incident.

At what point in the meeting did they realize they were rebranding him as a Nazi U-boat commander?

Was google broken that day?
How long before they rebrand NXT again? It's pretty much ECW the WWE version.
 
I'm not as much of a fan as I used to be years ago and really don't care for the cartoonish overly scripted WWE but I may check in on the Rumble.

It was always my favorite. At the end of every countdown I remember thinking some big surprise would come out.

They're struggling to fill a one day RR.
Only one match has real consequences Lesnar vs Lashley. The women's RR will be Belair. Unless Rousey shows up. Reigns will go over strong. And the Men's RR is a mess.

Seth coming out with the Shield entrance got quite the pop...
 
RR was predictable. Which isn't a bad thing if it produces good stories. Outside of Lesnar vs Reigns/Heyman nothing to get terribly excited about. Unless they give us Rousey vs Flair vs Lynch II. Which with two days to fill and Belair needing her win over Lynch isn't happening.
 
2 of the last 5 non wrestlers...

great job Creative...

I think they can build Becky/Ronda to a night one main event that will sell tickets, not sure Bianca/Becky is going to move the needle enough, but Rousey will bring the main stream hype. I'm curious to see what they do with the Raw title and Lashley, does he keep it for Mania, and who faces him? Drew would be the logical one and they just did that last year. Seth? He had some really good moments last night.

Thinking they'll cop out and have the Lashley match another triple or quad match. I've heard Charlotte vs Rousey. Save Lynch vs Rousey for SummerSlam.

I was hoping BigE would get another run, but with how he was dumped from the Rumble, don't see that happening. Rousey vs either would work for Mania, sounds like Rousey will be around fullish time for a year, so I could see her getting the belt back. She looked understandable rusty last night, so more time in the ring before Mania is a good thing.
