Raw Live Raw thread, September 19th 2022: Bobby Lashley defends the United States Title

[John McHenry]

Seth out challenging for the US title. They really need to get at least one belt off of Roman. Seth going for US just seems weird. I did see an interesting theory about a ladder match and each man grabbing a different belt at the same time. I wish Rollins could face HHH for the Cereberal Assassin moniker. I feel Seth's got more mind games than HHH. Really good match.



WWE having Ozzy HHH has his fingers in every aspect of the show and I love it.



I hate to agree with Russo but this Loomis thing is growing kinda meh to me. Like he says the guy "doesn't work for the company" so no security etc. We do the same thing weekly miz is either kidnapped or interfered with or distracted. I'm all for long form storylines but it's just the same thing on repeat do something different with it. The house bit was nice but lets have it go somewhere.

KO vs Theory stole the show imo, but I thought Lashley vs Rollins and JD vs MysteriBro were really good too.

Pretty good show all around.

Triple H lost viewers.....scrap everything.

That Bunny shit didn't get anyone.

This Triple H era has been a big miss for me so far. These shows are a tough watch and don’t really feel much different than when Vince was running things. I’m surprised H didn’t try to make raw more interesting with football being back cause wwe for close to a decade has pretty much told fans there’s no need to watch the product till rumble earliest once september rolls around.

There’s zero urgency to the product. In the 4 to 6 weeks they had with no competition & a ton of buzz from the regime change they totally squandered those new eyeballs by putting forth pretty bland programming. They had a shot at hooking more viewers but they didn’t even try. If it wasn’t reported that there was a regime change most people couldn’t tell by watching the tv.

Aren’t Raw’s ratings higher than they was with Vince? Only dropped a bit this week because football, but even those are better numbers than football season under Vince I’m sure.

That’s certainly an opinion. 95% of what I’ve seen is the exact opposite of your opinion but to each their own,

The ratings were over 2million until Football came back and whooped ass like it always has and always will. Those ratings were also higher than at any point in the year other than the Raw after WrestleMania.

Take these as general points because i'm sure someone will chime in saying they didn't want these but anyway:

People were tired of the dumb name changes and he's already started reverting those.
People didn't want weekly shows filled with rematches, those seem to have drastically reduced
He's brought in / up a bunch of new / old faces to freshen up the rosters.
Brought back the Womens Tag Titles (still a questionable choice) and ran a tournament for them to bring importance back to said titles
Rehabbed the Ronda Rousey character
In his first true PLE in charge, he put on a banger of an event for Clash at the Castle which seemed to be almost unanimously received.
Most of all i'd say, people just wanted a coherent show they could watch that made sense and was fun to watch and by harping back to the ratings again, it would seem as though they got that.

I'd love to hear some actual points from you though on what you were expecting because saying there's zero urgency and calling it bland just sounds generic af.
