Raw Live Raw thread, September 13th 2021: Bobby Lashley to defend WWE Championship against Randy Orton on Raw

[Lethal]

Eva Marie is absolutely gorgeous but she has zero business in a competitive match. At all. So fucking clunky but she gets away with it cos that outfit. Sweet fuck

 

[Lethal]

US title feeling important again, Kross not treated like a joke, sound tag match, Bliss <3, killer title match and that cash-in. I just wish they'd move on from the Sheamus/Priest 'feud' after ER, it's boring

 

[Canadian Dragon]

From what I gather it wasn't the greatest overall show but some cool parts and ofc big e winning is great. Hopefully they can keep that momentum n this wasn't a one off for aew n NFL debut n they don't start getting complacent on the follow through

Obviously they had big e cash in on Lashley so they could protect Roman reigns but it’s no big deal. I’m glad he’s finally world champion. Mans been putting in the work forever. I’ve really loved Bobby Lashley’s title reign so I’m sad it’s over but I’m happy for Big E. Now let’s see how they book him going forward.

More a case of Romans got programs upcoming and they don't wanna fuck with that as opposed to Lashley who probably doesn't have anything set in stone outside of Goldberg.

I’m so dang happy for Big E, what a cool, fun, feel good moment that happened to a great guy.

honestly even the biggest wwe detractors cant have anything to complain about here. if you dont like big e the person and cant be happy for him, sadness indeed! really happy for the guy

Orton and Lashley was a fun match. I just watched it and it was nice to offer that on RAW. I'd like to see more of that. Randy is always extra motivated when he gets a big match-up and it showed. Let's stop saving everything for a PPV, make people want to tune in. The match leading to Big E cashing in and winning the WWE Title totally woke the crowd up. It's been a while since I've seen a crowd that hot on RAW. Say what you will about Lashley, but he made for a great final boss to take down.

I'll pretty much always tune in when they do special moments like this. I very much enjoyed the ending, probably one of the best RAW has had in a few years now.

it went to OT as well, which probably massively fucked over the cash in for viewers id imagine.

still, much like you i was expecting AT LEAST a stay the line from last week with the updated card and tease of cash in. im legit shocked

OT would have hqpoened after Raw (game was in the 4th when I went to bed lol) but it being close the whole time could have hurt. Either way Im still pretty shocked, I kinda just assumed the wrestling fans that also like football already stopped watching Raw so it wouldn't matter
