    Elaewhere I saw an idea that the end was like Tony Starks vision in Age of Ulton with Nikki as Wanda.

    Did it actually happen or was it a vision of what is to come?

    We will have to see how they follow it up.

    Its a shame Gable already announced himself that he's signed a new contract. Would have created some buzz about whether that was his write off or not.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,245 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    It was the other fella in gorilla that looked shot though wasn't it😂

    The Masks look amazing. Rowen's seems to be built onto of the sheep mask too, which is a great touch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,982 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Great intro for the group

    The challenge will be how it translates to in ring work. Bray Wyatts characters struggled a bit in that sense

    Drew taking a few weeks off to be with his wife and will return to cost Punk a match



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,245 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Saying it quietly but low key loving Priests WHC reign so far. Matches have been solid, it's been better than I expected. I don't really want him to lose to Rollins at MITB but Gunther Rollins at SummerSlam is a huge match, so I see that as the likely outcome



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,676 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I hope Priest retains tbh, he does not seem to be a full blown heel to me despite being in TJD and their leader in the absence of Rhea

    I didn't expect Seth back this soon

    that’s a good call to stay away from the supernatural stuff. It’s where I gave up on the fiend.

    He wasn’t dead he was pining for the fjords.

    Tbf they are decent ring workers and Bo Dallas was in his NXT run was class..they never really translated it to the main roster



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,205 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Raw in general was excellent. Corpus Christi beating the dead crowd allegations.

    Brons booking continues to make him look like a star. Interested to see what next for the Alpha Academy. Definitely didn't expect Rollins back so soon. The Liv/JD stuff still intrigues me and them calling out Finn taking the card makes me interested to see where that story will actually go, lots of potential directions.

    Then the debut. Holy sh1t! Looked absolutely amazing, the camerawork, the one note playing over and over again, the mask designs, the most devastation I remember seeing on a wrestling show. That was awesome.

    My hopes are high, the in-ring stuff has often been the issue and I hope the reports of less supernatural more horrific is true cause that could work. Either way, based on debut alone, they've got something awesome here. Think it already puts any of the other Wyatt/Fiend debuts to shame. Intrigued to see how this sort of angle plays out in the new era of WWE.

    That Bron spear on Ludwig was great. The way it was shot with the aerial view of breaker running around the ring was so well shot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,324 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Something funny about seeing Little Petey Pump stopping Bron.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,982 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Will they acknowledge the pasts of the Wyatt 6 or will history be swept under the rug like

    Austin Theory and AOP been in a stables with Seth Rollins

    The lock box



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,324 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I know they kinda have to do it, but after that ending and murdering everyone there, having their t-shirts on WWE shop kinda takes away from it a bit.

    So is Bray counted as part of the 6 or is there another member?

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,245 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Was wondering that myself. Surely if there's a 6th it would be Brawn though. He'd give them a proper (even moreso) menacing vibe if they did a slow burner turn for him to rejoin.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,245 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I have watched the video back a load of times and I swear that's Gunther and Carmelo Hayes stacked under Rowan and his Help hammer. They're not being too clear of anyone…ahem... Murdered though other than Gable for the moment it seems. The fella in gorilla stretched out across the equipment looked a little like Rollins too but you can't see the face.

    Online theories are wild though. Loads saying the full list of those targeted is Gable, Gunther, Cody, Carmelo, Triple H, Brawn, Dominik🤣 I can't say I saw Brawn, Dom or Cody myself though.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,007 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    I think they’re saying Gable, Gunther, Carmelo, Dominik amongst the victims

    All of who have recently turned their backs on their family….



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭Officer999


    True. And also Nikki Cross for example on Instagram sharing so many stories and posts about it takes away from the realism too. They really should be staying off social media.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,245 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    You could technically add Rollins in there over the Shield, I'm convinced that's his belt buckle on the fella panned out on the equipment!

    Slightly off topic but had to laugh when I Googled Nikki now and the picture used for Killian Dain under "People also search for" is an interesting look for him



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,324 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I liked how they even showed Paul trying to talk to Drew after he quit before Adam Pearce continued to talk to him. Just small details like that helps.

    Maybe we'll see Drew Galloway turn up on Impact.

    Hope they at least let it go a few weeks anyway and don't just have him interrupt Punk on smackdown.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,982 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Me thinks Punk is cleared and will enter MITB thus Drew getting his revenge then



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,007 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Chad got screwed again. But gonna be a hell of a slap em up match.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,982 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Meat and lettuce

    Kind of wished they kept Gable out of the W6 stuff and picked someone else



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,007 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    I imagine it’s part of a bigger plan. Otis might feel guilty for leaving chad on his own and go back to him prolonging that storyline.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭Officer999


    Very intrigued to see how they follow up the Wyatt 6 tonight



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,050 ✭✭✭✭cena


    Raw is moving back to 2 hrs when it hits Netflix next year



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,007 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    But rumours Smackdown could move to 3 hours 🤦‍♂️

    I wouldn’t be surprised other than a video interference clip if they don’t show up.

    I have a feeling they will be used sparingly to keep interest levels up. And I’m still not convinced they have an end game in mind for the group.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,050 ✭✭✭✭cena


    If raw is going to more edgy it should stay 3hrs



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,676 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Irish tag team champions, the student and the teacher

    Chad Gable winning MITB, cash in on Sami then?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,324 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    HHH seems to be pushing the new blood in Bron and Lyra anyway. Ilya as well. Poor Kiana may get more of the spotlight later.

    Bo looks so much like Bray that I thought it was Bray at first.

    Now does anyone know Dom's number just so we can confirm what the picture was? For science!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 380 ✭✭Petermc83


    the liv / judgement day story has been excellent. Who does she side with at the end? Dom or Prince?
    every week, the little facets of storylines being peppered in has been so so good and entertaining. Loving the edge towards the Attitude Era based storyline too.
    And I can’t wait for pop when Rhea comes back to get her revenge..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,324 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I know I mentioned the blood before, but I also notice the likes of Scarlett dressing more sexily as well as how Liv is acting. And none of it seems to be forced for the sake of it. Like I'd say Liv enjoys the role.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,185 ✭✭✭Ridley


    I don't rate Priest much anyway but that he's world champ and not even the main story of the Judgement Day shenanigans ain't great.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,868 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    I've only seen bits of it but my prediction would be that Finn and Liv are working together. To what end I don't know but I'm somewhat curious at least.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,676 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    The Zelina and Liv segment was quite good, Zelina is good on the mic and while Rhea is out, she is a decent feud for Liv

    I did lol at Liv's heel boots as she and Zelina are about the same height but the "heel" needed to look bigger I suppose 😃

    That is a serious line up for the men's MITB match.

    But it will be a waste if they use it for Drew to win and cash in on the night only for Punk to screw him then. That feud doesn't need any belt or briefcase. Will probably be Punk costing Drew the lader match tho.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,356 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Would have liked to have seen Dakota get a spot in the MITB, just don't see the point in Zoey stark, really bland character



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,245 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Think there could be multiple run ins yet in MITB between Gable and the Wyatt's, Logan Paul/LA Knight and Drew/Punk. What they're doing a decent job of recently is not showing us so obviously the next direction they're taking, any of the 6 are legit winners really.

    The women's for me is more clear cut. Tiffy Time or Chelsea Green as winners or we (or I, in this case) riot!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,676 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Same, I think Dakota vs. Bayley could be really good, if build well and Bayley needs a good feud



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,676 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1

    The Punk/Rollins/Drew triangle of hate is good stuff.

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,205 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Loved this Raw.

    The Punk/Rollins promo is great and now that it's tangled between the three it could be fun. Honestly think if they play this well then the criticism of the MITB being 'wasted' won't feel valid. Also like the tweener dynamics between them. I think Priest cancelling the stipulation also adds to him being a noble champion. His run has been better than expected tbh.

    I enjoyed the Wyatt videos but was thinking they need to give us something more and feels like it's about to get there, which is for the best. Gable talking to the Creeds in the background again. I would hope the Alpha story isn't totally forgotten too.

    New faction is good for the womens division. Think with Sonya as the lead it could help Zoey and Shayna too.

    The Dom/Liv story is great. The spots in their tag match were gas. The JD catching the stretch was funny as well. Rhea returning was expected but felt big. They really made the best out of her being injured, intrigued to see what comes next. There was a video on twitter that made Liv look happy with the outcome, she definitely has a plan in place. Love it!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,324 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So was that camera set up just for Bron's run? Should start calling it the "Breakker cam". Seeing him take the corner, I'm expecting him to slip one of these days.

    Seeing him and The Miz doing the AA and the five Knuckle Shuffle makes me wonder how Truth feels about his childhood hero retiring.

    I like how we actually heard the crowd's laugh at Jey's Yeet-out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,676 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    We have another "tour"
