    Is the ramp shorter or did they move up the seating section behind the commentary tables ??

    The 2nd ring seems to be the actual ring

    They're doing a Worlds Collide even instead the day before.
    More surprised it's a Sunday tbh.

    The 4th partner will be Gargano I'm guessing

    Was thinking him or Dream. He's wearing an NXT shirt but who knows maybe he'll defect tomorrow.

    He tweeted a teaser for NXT a few minutes ago so maybe he is back.

    Think it might be for the best for a few months anyway

    Kind of alternating between here and there on Raw since the draft

    Great main event, the spot off the top of the cage made me wince.

    Keith Lee looks like a star, surprised he hasn't been on a Takeover before.

    Dijakovic and Roderick Strong do nothing for me, can't see either going far on the main roster.

    Loved that.

    Rhea is an absolute star. Credit to Candice too. When it went 4 vs 2, the smark in me was ready to get annoyed that the two could win. And yet, when it was said and done, I was perfectly happy at the babyface come back. Rhea has an awesome look and is going to be massive.

    I also wanted to say....for all people say that authority figures are overdone, it's amazing the respect the supposedly snarkiest crowd in the business have for Regal. When Kai (who is half the size of Regal) hit him, the crowd gasp was brilliant. Like, yeah you just destroyed your best friend's leg, but do NOT lay a finger on Regal.

    Really enjoyed that.. best Balor match in a long time. He’s far more compelling as a heel and his in ring work is better too i think. The match really elevated Riddle also. The ladies WG match was great and that heel turn wa fantastic. And obviously Rhea came out looking like a star. Possible Rumble winner I reckon. As for the men’s match, it was just class. I love the UE, they’ve been built so well. And that finishing spot? Awesome. What does KOs appearance mean? A one off or is he back with NXT? Is he still going to be on team Raw?

    Rhea winning the Rumble would be great but I'm almost certain it's gonna be Sasha. Unfortunately.

    She's 0-4 at Mania and they probably had to promise her a Mania moment to stop her whinging.

    If Cole is seen on AEW TV supporting his girlfriend he would be punished big time.

    Do you think? I think they’ve scuppered her return in a big way.. but you could be right and they’re going to make us try give a damn about Sasha V Bayley at WM

    Just went back and watched the Dakota Kai turn and both her and Regal are gold. The look on Regal's face when Dakota pushes him was superb. Poor form on Tegan Nox's part though as Dakota went back to close the cage door and she stopped it with her leg. Very Marty Jannetty like out of Tegan.

    I think people are making too big a deal of the Britt Baker stuff. Realistically it means nothing to the people who don't already know her and the people that know her watch AEW already. There's no real drawback from showing her.

    As for Rumble Winner, I could see Sasha. I think they're gonna build towards a 4 HW main event at Mania personally.

    HHH said showing Britt was an accident and it was just the director looking for a concerned crowd member but I don't buy that. Mauro mentioned her right away. We know how meticulously WWE is produced and orchestrated around those moments. She won't get in trouble anyway so it's not a big deal.

    Speaking of Mauro, his pop references can be eye-rolling but his "Oh Jesus no....Oh Jesus NOOOOOO!" during the finish to the men's cage match was some of the best commentary I've heard in years.

    Mauro's twitter is offline now so hopefully he's doing okay.

    Well on the Mauro call aren't the commentators meant to call what they see on the monitors in front of them ? But it was nice that triple h said what he said and I mean when Adam cole took that bump wouldn't the guys fiancé be the most concerned person in the crowd ? Maybe I'm overthinking that but it's not outside of reality.

    Dont get the big deal if showing a competitor's star on tv for a few seconds. It happens all the time in other sports

    I've rewatched the event even if I watched most of it last night(I missed the balor vs riddle match but watched it earlier.

    Superstars who either proved what we already know about them or those that announced themselves after last night
    -Keith lee
    -rhea ripley
    -Kay lee Rae has elevated the nxt U.K. Women's title and division
    - Dominic dijakovic
    - Dakota Kai
    - all three in the triple threat but Damian priest is a star in the making

    Such a pity the WWE just can't seem to use the Asian talent well on the main roster.

    I'm quoting this post for no other reason then it's the truth. Io Shirai is a goddess. Tonight though we get Io, asuka, and kairi in the one ring at the same time.
