Raw Live Raw thread, October 31st 2022: Roman Reigns heads to Raw tonight ahead of WWE Crown Jewel

[Gentleman Jake]

Gargano claimed Dexter was down on his luck financially, and Miz was giving him money to fake the abductions, to garner sympathy cause he's a phony celebrity.

That’s great

Some idiot on Facebook said Bayley is two cheeseburgers away from being Nia Jax… really hope they was kidding lol

I can't even, man. That's fucked up. That's almost as bad as someone thinking Roman Reigns isn't good at his job.

And here I was hoping that random pairings like Bliss/Asuka wouldn't be a thing anymore

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Ill preface by saying I dont watch the shows n just follow, but I'm extremely disappointed at how HHH has booked Damage CTRL as a very ineffective faction

 

[Dale]

The champs themselves were just a random pairing so I don't know why you're expecting anything different.

Not even mad at it, that whole faction is ice cold and needs to start over again.

 

[Jimmy King]

I’m just happy that Alexa has gold again, it’s been awhile since she’s held some.

I’m sure that Kai and Sky will win them back some time down the line eventually just like I think Bayley is winning at Crown Jewel this weekend.

 

[Y2Jayne]

I'm surprised to see how Haitch has been booking Theory since Vince left, I thought he'd continue pushing him, as he was on NXT at some point.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Another week, another occasion for Gable to work with whatever they give him and put over others.

 

[Y2Jayne]

So we're back with the hot potato women's tag titles it seems, but seeing Bliss pin Skye felt as good as Rhonda beating Morgan.

 

[Dale]

Depending on how long he's out for, are we possibly heading towards a Gargano/Ciampa/Candice vs. Miz/Dexter/Indi program?

 

[Deezy]

There's really no logical reason for Miz paying Lumis, since even if this is based off Jussi Smollet, his paid for attacks were about MAGA shit.

What was Miz's end goal? Besides being stalked because "he's a celebrity".

 

[Jimmy King]

That’s my champ right there.

its more a booking philosophy for me that heel factions coming in a hot angle shouldn't be losing so much so early. Clearly, however, that wasn't the plan for how they were going to be booked. That's fine, just not what I would do and find it disappointing to read about.

I agree with your last point however, and I think the losses are why they are ice cold. Seems we at the very least agree the faction has been poorly presented up to this point. at least, poorly imo in regards to the amount of hype ppl put behind it, myself included.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

furthermore, I also have no issue with putting the gold on Asuka ever so I'm not like, mad or anything lol. just think it could be better

 

[Red Eyed Demon]

Much like Red Dragon, I also approve of Asuka being a champion regardless of the circumstances.

That said, the only way that Damage Control can be salvaged is by putting the belt on Bayley. If Bayley loses again at Blood Money they might as well end the whole angle.

Hell, have Dakota go crazy again and start a new faction with Liv and Cross as the Deranged Women. Perhaps Bliss can go back to being crazy too and join as well. Sounds better than whatever Damage Control is right now.

In other news, I'm very hyped for Lashley vs Lesnar and Braun vs Omos
