What an awful ****ing show...again. Why the hell was the point of needing Shane McMahon to help Adam Pierce make that promo?

Get this version of Ric Flair off my TV. Charlotte is right, he looks like an idiot at this point and you can't keep using him like this and to get heat on the heels when they attack him. His character appears to be someone with dementia at this point. It's neither funny nor entertaining.

The ridiculous amount of excitement from the announcers for Jeff Hardy's entrance...WTF?

For anyone who can't wait to see Rhea Ripley tear up the main roster...look at how awfully they've booked Shayna Bazlor (she's been beaten by Dana Brooke and Naomi the last few weeks).

The only thing that made sense was Edge's promo and him telling Miz how stupid he is. Why wouldn't anyone wait to make their decision as long as possible?

In fact, all of Edge's promos have been gold since he won and you can tell they're not scripted because he's criticizing the promos of other talent.

Apparently, two of the highlights of Raw this week, which I missed, were Nia Jax's hole and Charlie Caruso's love of DP:

The Miz pulls himself out of the Chamber match because who would want two title shots when you can have one?

Bugs Bunny is your new 24/7 champ and to show how important it is, Damien Priest didn’t even want it.

Rid Flair has gotten Lacey Evans pregnant.

And this is just the first hour of Monday night dumpster fire.

Maybe she bid on one of those prom dates he was auctioning off.

At least the last one is justifiable.

I mean it isn't, because the storyline sucks, but as played I think they had to do that. She's legit pregnant. What else could the explanation be?

They wouldn't need an explanation. Just get them both off of TV and never mention the horrible angle again. Unlike Becky Lynch, no one will miss Lacey Evans while she's gone so there's no need to give her character a reason to be off TV while pregnant.

How the hell is this angle going to lead to a match? Charlotte vs. Ric? Vince might be crazy enough to do it, but I ain't crazy enough to want to watch it.

Charlotte had a very strong unscripted promo on her father.

The rest of Raw (insert Randy Orton coughing up black goo gif)

What was the point of Sheamus turning on Drew again?

I foresee Ric Flair aligning with Rhea Ripley to run it back against Charlotte at WM somehow

Eh, everything involving Lashley was very good. Kudos to WWE for 'swerving' me, actually. I can't remember the last time WWE teased the triple threat match to not go through with it. Glad they aren't messing around: It's Bobbys time.

Rest of the show was absolute garbage. Gigantic LOL that Drew McIntyre isn't even mentioned on a 3 hour Raw the night after he's cheated out of the WWE championship. Embarrassing really.

Seemed that they were setting up Charlotte/Asuka for Mania last night.

My only issue with the Lashley stuff is that Braun was pinned again last night. They try to present him as this devastating monster, but everyone beats him. I can't remember the last match he won and he only beat Goldberg last year because Roman left.

Plus, they've already done enough damage to the Lashley character that a few months of dominance isn't going to erase. We've already seen Drew/Lashley within the last year. It's fine for what they're working with, but I'm not really excited about it.

Also, they already had a few matches between Strowman and Lashley in the past, including gimmick ones (arm wrestling, etc.), and Braun always had the upper hand.

Yeah, the stupidity here was even including Braun in the first place. It was just unnecessary. But, it would've been worse to have Braun go over and have a triple threat. Lashley would have pinned Miz and Braun would still have claims to the belt and we'd be looking at a triple threat at Mania.

Just strap Lashley nice and quickly, and get onto the feud with Drew.

Good for Lashley shipping the WWE Championship

I feel like crowds would be turning him babyface if they were a thing right now

OMG Braun has become The Big Show.

Even without crowds, it was an interesting decision to have Lashley basically be the babyface putting Miz in his place. If it's Lashley vs. Drew, I won't be shocked if the Mania crowd is pretty split. And I'm more interested in seeing a Lashley reign than Drew taking the belt back at this point.

Retribution being lumberjacks is one of those dumb WWE things I roll my eyes at. Like I get that they're basically jobbers now but at least try to sell the gimmick a little still.

Braun being out there at Shane's command is a little silly too. But, like I said last week, they've already ruined him.

Why is Shane making any decisions at all? I guess it's been long enough that they can just ignore that KO ran him out of the company because Vince has forgotten.

I want to complain about the way Shayna's been booked, but that was probably her punishment for kicking Asuka's teeth out. Just being around Nia makes you unsafe.
