Between Riddle and McDonaugh, it's like Raw is the new NXT UK

Sami getting a rousing ovation to kick off the show is good for the heart.

Especially the running gag of Toni thinking she's some random new person every time they meet.

The Iron Savages' gimmick of beef men who possibly are on steroids is cracking me up

I was never the biggest Edge fan, but getting to end things on his terms in his home city after getting it all ripped away is a pretty damn cool way to wrap it up.

Paul Heyman vs Kayla is the best long term feud in WWE

Street Profits new finish is kinda dope looking

Also Hunter's biggest positive as a booker is being able to remember storylines from week to week and not tear everything up. At some point people were going to realize a lot of his storylines aren't super great.

Apparently some folks think LA has the dreaded "attitude issues", which at this point I'm sure is just him screaming "JUST PUSH ME ALREADY, FUCKS SAKE MAN"

Babyface MJF feels like such a great payoff in that they've established pretty much since day one Max is an asshole as a defense mechanism from feeling alone and bullied as a kid. Him finding his first true friend in life and learning to enjoy life and be happy has been kind of heartwarming to see. LIke a real life version of the Grinch's heart growing three sizes that day. I just hope they don't go the obvious route of them losing the Aussie Open match due to a wacky understanding to create TENSION for the main event. As @Alucard mentioned, both guys did a great job stating their case for why they MUST win without being heelish at all.

Seems like they are planting some seeds for All Out as well this week. I'm guessing H.O.B. vs the Acclaimed and (I'm assuming) Billy making his big return. Bucks vs Jay and Juice perhaps as well?

Dying at Satnam looking like the world's largest Hillbilly Jim in those bib overalls

Doing a skit where Tony yells at MJF and Cole for their wacky hijinx makes me think he lurks on PWO and saw us say he was too nice to be a mean boss

Starting Dynamite now, and Penta proving the suit+lucha mask combo is undefeated.

Nattie seems to be universally loved, as well as TJ since he was the producer for most of the women's matches when they were really making people notice. It's like they see her as the fun auntie who's maybe way too into cats but is always there to help you out.

You know, I give Punk a pass on Nemeth. Dude was talking all that good shit online and got called out on it in person. That should happen to more people. The rest of it though? OK, he gets a lot of leeway for being the top draw but if even half of these stories are true it's just silly. Agree on all this. Dude's just one of those types you just can't take seriously as a hard ass.

Melo vs Wes will almost certainly be a banger, but it's another WWE match where the outcome isn't really in doubt. Even if they were moving Melo to the main roster and needed to change the title, it wouldn't be to someone who hasn't really been pushed as a man event level guy.

G They totally ripped off my team's look for that Gallus jersey

Trick trying real hard to not get Jannetty'd, you love to see it

Is it me or does Dana Brooke look completely different nowadays?

I kind of want to see Sami vs Dom just for the crowd reactions

lol Becky with the lemon shirt

Also the idea of Piper bullying around Chelsea Green sounds like it could be pretty entertaining.

Watching Raw after work as usual, and wondering what poor Drew did to get stuck teaming with Matt Riddle.

I'm just saying that Kenny and the Bucks have solid reasons to play ball and do business, both from a corporate sense since they're in management and from a money making sense since the matches would almost certainly draw huge money. Page/Punk could potentially draw big money too but if I'm TK there's no reason to not think Punk would spend the whole time shooting on him.
