Raw Live Raw discussion thread, May 8th 2023: Backlash Fallout, New roster + WHC Tournament begins

[Dale]

Preview coming soon ​

Cody, Seth, Nakamura, Finn, Priest and Miz were announced for the two triple threat WHC participants.

Logic would say we get Cody/Seth, Finn/Priest and Miz/Nakamura on opposite sides.

Seth should be nailed on but really curious to see who they go with for the other winner, has to be either Cody or Finn.

 

[Smart Marx]

Seth/Cody feels like the way to go for the Raw finals unless they’re swerving us big time with the overall winner.

 

[Smart Marx]

Could also do Finn/Seth as a run back of the Universal finals and let Seth get his win back.

Spoiler

1) Cody vs Balor vs Miz

2) Rollins vs Priest vs Nakamura

Fully expect a Balor vs. Rollins final on the RAW side now.

It's kind of amazing how WWE has managed to get me back into wanting to watch week to week again, and it has to do with good booking and good matches every week. I can't wait to see what happens tonight.

Spoiler

Honestly would not be surprised with Cody/Seth on RAW next week with Brock fucking over Cody... but man, would it be something to see Nakamura go all the way. I'm willing it to happen, please.

That match would take place tonight @Grim They're doing both triple threat matches and the winners face in the main event.

Trish Stratus returns to Monday Night Raw TONIGHT!​

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is set to appear on tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw just weeks after costing Becky Lynch and Lita the Women’s Tag Team Championships.

Stratus shocked the WWE Universe by savagely attacking and berating her supposed friends and continuing the verbal assault on social media.

After the attack of Lynch, Stratus appeared on the red brand and surprisingly demanded an apology, believing Lynch has taken all the shine from pioneers like herself.

What will Stratus say when she hits the ring and grabs a mic? Tune in to Monday Night Raw on USA at 8/7 C to find out!​

Guessing they have them pretty early so they can hype the finalized main event most of the night. Was kinda hoping they'd get the limited commercial gimmick tonight to try and combat the playoff games
