Raw Live Raw discussion thread, February 3rd 2025: Royal Rumble Fallout

[Butters]

The one thing I can definitely put on Netflix is the feed is so much clearer and crisper when I’m watching raw stream than anything I ever streamed on Peacock.

funny you mention that because tonight was glitchy as hell when i went and watched it.

If you would have told me back in the day this man would become one of the most over superstars in the company, I would’ve laughed at you

Like my man is saying in his heartfelt speech tonight he wouldn’t even told you that even a year ago.

This is so unfathomable to even think about. Outside of maybe Jeff Hardy guys who are deeply entrenched in being a tag team, but especially family coded tag teams rarely ever break out in that singles role let alone one that’s getting this kind of momentum.

Yeah. Shit was going in and out a lot, glitching so bad I thought my tv was fucking up til others said it was happening to them

Maybe they had more viewers than usual because of the royal rumble. I haven’t had any issues yet the three times that I’ve watched live but especially watching on the replay it is so crisp.

I actually kind of thought for a brief moment WWE was going to elevate Jey when they had him feuding with Roman, but when that didn’t happen, I thought WWE was sending him back down the card because that felt like the moment that would’ve made the most sense to elevate him so it is really cool to see that he is finally getting that opportunity for the spotlight.

It’s just so amazing to see. I’m just so happy for the guy tbh.

They aren’t even pretending like Uce has a choice. Gunther is coming right out because he knows.

keep watching, it starts to glitch and does it really bad during the main event.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

You do realize refusing to do the dance with him again is only gonna make him want to choose you harder, right?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I’m hoping the replay would’ve ironed out the glitches, but I’ll find out.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

The most horrible display of violence this business has ever seen… Are you gonna weed whack his dick?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I was really hoping he’d just declare tonight and forgo the formalities of teasing the Cody match.

He’s going to challenge Joe Hendry

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Starting qualifying matches for the elimination chamber match when you don’t even know which champion Jey is choosing yet feels kinda hot shotted because are you gonna have people from both brands in the elimination chamber match because it shouldn’t be like the Royal rumble it should just be the opposite brand that Jey isn’t fighting for.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

He’s going to challenge Joe Hendry

I’m fine if he challenges for any belt as long as it isn’t Cody, if I’m being honest.

But obviously, the story here is he finally beats Gunther, though.
