Not sure why they switched up the announce teams, but the new lead guy for Raw needs a lot of work. We don't need another Cole screamer, but this guy just doesn't seem to have much of a voice. He also butchered some names, and totally missed the fact that Drew claymore'd Orton ftw. He acted like it was some generic pin break up.

The show was total ass.
-For some reason AJ and Omos were nowhere to be seen nor mentioned.
-For some reason Riddle was given an opening match vs Bobby Lashley a night after losing his title.
-For some reason faces Mandy/Dana decided to legitimately quit in the middle of their match vs Nia/Shayna.
-For some reason Alexa is going to feud with the Fiend.
-For some reason they broke up the Hurt Business, when the plan was for Lashley to retain at Mania. It makes no sense and just weakens everybody, Lashley included.

No worries! WWE righted the wrong! They realized Lashley was working well in the stable so they book the finale of Raw for 2 men to jump Drew from behind and take him out. The Hurt Business is back! Or not.

Those two men: Mace and T-Bar. lol

Oh. And they also changed the name of the upcoming Backlash ppv to 'Wrestlemania Backlash'

Not sure if I wish I had fired up RAW off the DVR instead of opening this thread or not.

Ah I forgot one:

-For some reason they thought it was ok for the biggest (only) surprise return to be The Viking Raiders. Which prompted Byron Saxton for the line of the night 'And THIS is why I love the Raw after Wrestlemania!'

I've seen lots of grumping about the Riddle-Lashley match. For one, it wasn't for the title. For two, Riddle pissed Lashley off, so Lashley agreed to fight him so he could beat the piss out of him, and then did that.

If they had just come out and given Riddle a WWE title shot I would agree.

The Dana/Mandy thing is an all-time awful idea though.

Ended up going to bed rather than watching it all live, here are my thoughts.

Glad I went to bed.

Are they trying to double-turn Mandy/Dana and Shayna/Nia? Just really bad storytelling last night

Watching SD for the first time in forever.

Wondering why “Commander Aziz” wears sergeant’s stripes?

PPV tonite on the Peacock. No idea what the card or storylines are, but I got nothing going on this evening so I'll be there.

Cesaro/Reigns for the strap. Should be a pretty good match. Everything else is pretty meh

Strowman has been added to Lashley/McIntyre in order to be the fall guy most likely.

Always fun to see a giant monster being the one used to take a fall in a three way match

I feel sad about how they used Strowman the last year or so.

He's basically Big Show 2.0 now.

I see Damian Priest vs Miz and/or Morrison is the new Apollo Crews vs. Hurt Business

Legit think every interaction and match since moving to the main roster has been against M&M

You aren't that far off.

8 matches in a row against either Miz or Morrison.

2 hours into RAW, and we've had Charlotte v Asuka and 3 decent matches we've never seen before in WWE, what alternate universe are we in?

Lex Luger vs. T-Shirt Round 2

PPV tonite? Hell in a Cell. I'm an idiot, so I'll probably watch it.

Well they had the main event on Smackdown, so not sure what to expect. Will be watching.

Looks like the PPV is comprised almost entirely of matches that already happened at either Wrestlemania or Backlash. Riveting.

GFY Peacock!

Is anyone able to see the show?

Yeah, I just dialed it up and it's working. It's just the pre-show right now. I guess they're not starting the main shows at 7 p.m. anymore?

Somebody should feel free to start a thread.

I felt free enough to do so

Oh good, it's HurriNikki

What happened to Edge? Is he still a character, or is he already out again?

He's around. Sounds like he's facing Roman at the next PPV.

Edge like, hall of fame edge? He is wrestling again?
