So record it and watch it in the morning, no? I don't know. I could do it if the shows were worth it but let's be honest here...

Well what I saw, Nia was definitely at fault.

CastorTroy

I'm not one to defend Nia, but seeing it, I don't think she was at fault. I wasn't like she slammed Kairi's head into the steps. She threw and released Kairi and Kairi must've just hit the join between the 2 sections.

Hope that's the last of Gronk. That was bad.

Guess Dominick's making his debut soon

Think they need to look into being more consistent if recording. Charly wore 2 different outfits, changing between them.

Lana looked like she took advice from Chelsea Green in her TNA days when applying her lipstick.

Who was the blonde beside Xia Li?

I wouldn't say bang average worker, as I like his in ring work it's just the awful gimmick he's had. When WWE went to BT I watched every smackdown from October to mid march when I got rid of BT sport but he seemed to constantly be opening the show and it got painful.

It's Vince more than the McMahons as a whole because whatever he sees as someone's calling that's it. Some how Corbin has had a higher calling(at least with this gimmick) than is right.

Man there's no higher ceiling. He's competent in ring and that's it. He's a run of the mill kick/punch/slam WWE big man whose positives are his size and his sports background. Hasn't got jump off the screen charisma and hasn't got a solid bell to bell ability to fall back on. He has things that company likes but for a guy whose been wrestling for as long as he has now he's never developed beyond pedestrian.

Is Lashley champ, did he pin R-Truth?

He didn't pin him, Lashley is beyond all that 24/7 title garbage. A bit odd there in both a talk segment and then advertised for a match

The viking raiders and street profits skits are entertaining

Apollo Crews would make a decent annoying cocky self entitled heel character

The crowd reacts like they do in WWE video game.

I saw a point raised on Twitter, here it is, and I'm thinking to myself, he's got a point. There are others who could do with being in Charlotte's spot, but nah it's fine cause she's Charlotte Flair.

https://twitter.com/JDfromNY206/status/1270151864798130177

Charlotte should be putting over Bianca Belair. All while, you build Shayna to take the title off Asuka, with Bianca in line after that to battle Shayna. This is not difficult. WWE has legit held back an entire division for Charlotte and has made NO ONE LOOK BETTER #WWERaw

J. Marston

Had to laugh at Charlotte holding up the title. She's a meme at this point.

CastorTroy

Lashley put Truth out just as he did to Ivar so shouldn't that make him champ? Or is it just because there was no ref?

That's 100% true, Charlotte has been given the majority of the "1st women ever moments" and always has been booked the strongest in the womens division(bar Becky while she was the man/champ etc). There was no need imo for her to be in the main event of WM last year and she was even protected by not getting pinned. Also to win the title off Asuka only to lose it again at WM then win it back a few weeks later then again dropped it Bayley.

Having here go over Rhea was a massive mistake at WM after doing a great build of Rhea last year to be the one that finally beat Shayna for the title.

She's being shoe horned into places she doesn't belong/where she doesn't serve a purpose - case in point, as you mentioned last year's Wrestlemania with Becky & Ronda. Makes you wonder if her last name wasn't Flair, where on the card she'd be?

I had no problem with her beating Rhea. Rhea was pushed too hard too soon.

She's only 23 and in the space of 5 days last year she...

- Drew with Becky

- Beat Charlotte and Sasha in a triple threat

- Won War Games in a ridiculously dominant way

- More or less won the 5-on-5 SS match on her own

Then a few weeks later she ended one of the most dominant title reigns ever.

If she beat Charlotte at Mania she would've achieved about 90% of what there is to achieve by age 23.

Dominant....or ****test? Is Baszler even on Raw right now? She was one dimensional as NXT champion and Vince's lack of interest in her is demonstrating that.

As for Charlotte, it's a joke at this stage. To have a roster that talented and all you can do is use Nia Jax and give Charlotte another inevitable reign. It's absolute piss poor.

Itssoeasy

Add me to the list of fans who is getting tired of charlotte character wise as in ring she's brilliant but yeah booking wise its not good. She has 11 title reigns(the first nxt reign isn't counted by WWE it seems) and she is just shy of five years on the main roster.

I mean it's not even a discussion of whether she will equal her dad it's a case of how fast that happens. I mean was the smackdown title win that interrupted Bayley's impression title reign all for the sake of five days ?

Did Bayley not cash in the same night after winning the briefcase?

Not sure but I just remember charlotte had a five day day title reign which just seemed pointless(I think a title run that short isn't helpful regardless of who it is)

SureYWouldntYa

I'm not as sick as others are of Charlotte tbh

People complain even more about 50-50 booking when WWE won't get behind someone fully

The problem is the fact a woman has to be in the title picture to be in a worthwhile program more often that not, if there was a platform for others to grow on the main roster then maybe she could be out of the title picture more but she's as good as anyone they have so she has to be in the title picture

Lord TSC

There's a pretty big rumour going round at the moment that someone is making an in-ring return tonight.

Genuinely might be a good idea to skip this spoiler for now, and anyone responding should really use spoiler tags, but for those interested....

Christian seems to have been cleared to wrestle again.

CastorTroy

Haven't looked at it.

I am thinking though that the triple threat women's match will be at extreme rules after the outcome last night

Itssoeasy

Jesus TSC I won't look at it either now but just by your post this seems big.

J. Marston

Small number of actual fans invited to the tapings apparently.
