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

[Ricky Smarks]

Now the priest has gotten his revenge and moved to SmackDown. They can really let Finn have a proper go.

I’m gonna be rooting for Liv here but I have a feeling sky is going over and I’m probably OK with that just because I know my girls got their tag team title match later and I really want them to win that.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Liv really is the iron woman going an hour and seven minutes.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I can’t believe her and sky went over an hour and now they’re wrestling each other.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

It still amazes me there was a point in time when people tried to tell me with a straight face that Liv was a terrible wrestler and here she is with the confidence of the company getting a fucking phenomenal run with the belt. Just got an hour in the Royal rumble with Io sky and now getting a featured match on raw with Iyo after that.

That double stomp out of the corner was a neat spot.

Liv with a gorgeous shotgun dropkick.

Whenever Liv does the three amigos, it makes me giddy knowing there are idiots on Twitter, losing their minds.

And this is the second time she’s went over an hour as well.

2023 her and Rhea started the match, and then was the final 2.

A sunset flip attempt over the top rope is crazy.

She really is the iron woman

A codebreaker counter to a dive is a thing of beauty.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

After going an hour in the Royal rumble, they’ll let these girls go over 10 minutes on Raw, which is amazing.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

People told me that they were going to eventually settle back into the types of raws I was used to seeing on TV, but this is my fourth or fifth raw on Netflix so far and these still feel like mini PLE‘s. These girls are wrestling this match right now like it was a PLE supercard match.

Ripley feels way late on this. Raquel wasn’t even doing anything at this point. She should’ve come out earlier when she was on the apron.
