WWE TV Aug 1-7

[Ricky Jackson]

Have at it. Heyman's back

[El Dragon]

I find it very amusing the competitors competing for the Womens Title are far better on the mic then the ones feuding over the Universal Title.

[Blehschmidt]

I may be in the minority, but I absolutely can not stand Enzo. Same shtick every week and I hated it the first time I heard it. I can't wait for them to inevitably turn Cass against him.

 

Did get a kick out of Charlotte using the stupid sawft thing as a dick joke though.

[Strummer]

Looks like we are getting an Enzo/Owens program

 

 

Or Enzo/Cass v Jericho/Owens

[jcmmnx]

The ref went to hand Charlotte the women's belt then has to turn around to give to Sasha and Sasha calls him an idiot. lol

[Strummer]

Interviewing these job guys before the Strowman match is great

[The Chief]

A Braun Strowman squash immediately followed by Mark Henry bringing back the Hall of Pain is a great way to get on my good side!

[Strummer]

A Reigns/Rusev program for US title. Vince bookin' for PWO now!

[Jmare007]

Roman vs Rusev should be fucking awesome but man, I can't help but think it would've been better if they saved it for after Summerslam for a solo RAW PPV. Hopefully it's not just a 1 match feud.

 

I hope to god they have something interesting for Rusev once he losses the belt.

[Strummer]

That's the most Reigns has been cheered since he won the title in Philly last December

[WingedEagle]

That seemed like the best crowd reaction Reigns has had in a long, long time.

[The Chief]

Reigns vs Rusev is something they could have built the company around in 2014 but... reasons.

 

I'm looking forward to their matches.

[Ricky Jackson]

Bringing back the jobbers warms my heart

[Strummer]

James Caldwell pointed out that Reigns went to school at Georgia Tech so that's probably why he was cheered more tonight

[sek69]

Something about Bob Backlund in the intro video of Raw in 2016 makes me disproportionately happy.

[ZThomas]

James Caldwell pointed out that Reigns went to school at Georgia Tech so that's probably why he was cheered more tonight

I dont think much of that crowd even remembers or knows that fact for that to be a reason he got more cheers tonite , Its not that smarky of a crowd tonight.

 

The Pre and post match interviews in the ring are nices touches as well as the jobber matches freshen up the format. I love the slow build of monsters, reminds me of Smackdown when the built up guys like Kozlov

[Matt D]

Last time he was actively cheered it was because Sheamus was a complete heel and not some sort of tweener, smarky "other choice."

 

Rusev is in that same category.

[Ricky Jackson]

Bingo

[Strummer]

That was a hot ending. Orion's RKO was great

[Strummer]

I'll say it again. Orton is a great babyface and should never, ever be heel again.

[Jmare007]

They are setting up that F-5 to RKO reversal perfectly, crowd is gonna go batshit insane for that spot....they better fucking do it.

[conker8]

I just notice there is no zooming in and out during an impact now.

[Grimmas]

Starting shows with a Sasha Banks promo and a ten minute Sasha match is how every wrestling show should start.

 

Rusev-Reigns is exciting, although I don't like the idea of Rusev losing the title yet.

[Gutenberger]

I'll say it again. Orton is a great babyface and should never, ever be heel again.

Especially when he's just a normal human being who is allowed to do what he likes and have fun. He comes across so sympathetic and laid back.

[raul]

for a random raw, this was like miles better than the pre-draft garbage they put on every week. 3 hours is still HORRIBLE though.
