Raw Live Raw thread, August 30th 2021: WWE Champion Bobby Lashley set for a thunderous showdown against Sheamus

[bradatar]

Yeah, as much as I like Charlotte I don’t even know if I can really defend any of that.

She was dropped on her neck and almost paralyzed by a woman who has done the same thing to her twice prior already. Keep in mind I was a Nia fan. Nia is too unsafe to be in a ring anymore and last night was one of the worst things I’ve seen in a WWE ring in a longggggg time. Not even match quality but that was embarrassing. Charlotte reacted how any single one of us would have. If someone continues to show they don’t care if they’ll paralyze me and makes my work look like shit fuck them.

You can't fire Nia. She pinned the Champion so she's earned a title match

It's really too bad they have no one with talent doing nothing for months.

 

[Comrade Khan]

that being said, by all means WWE, keep giving the Queen awful feuds and making her mad

 

[Jimmy King]

Yeah, looking back now and watching it again, I don’t blame Charlotte one iota for reacting how she did.

 

[bradatar]

Well I know the internet wants Nias head on a stake today and keeping Charlotte happy has to be at the top of WWEs to do list. Considering everyone in her family is gone now, (I’m including Andrade here.) Charlotte walking out isn’t as crazy as it used to be. I know people don’t like her but she’s one of the best women ever and still in her prime. I personally think Charlotte is the GOAT.

WWE Champion Bobby Lashley set for a thunderous showdown against Sheamus

The All Mighty vs. The Celtic Warrior. This one should be hard-hitting.

After WWE Champion Bobby Lashley walked out on Sheamus, leaving him to take the fall in their tag team match against Drew McIntyre & Damian Priest, The Celtic Warrior was irate to say the least.

A heated backstage exchange between the two resulted in a blockbuster matchup being made for this Monday’s Raw. Will Sheamus fall at the hands of The All Mighty, or will he earn a momentum-changing victory over the WWE Champion?

Eva Marie aims to teach Doudrop a lesson on Raw

The Eva-Lution is ready for its next chapter.

After Doudrop left Eva Marie wallowing in her loss to Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam, she was ready to break out on her own this past Monday. Doudrop was poised to take back her identity for herself until Eva Marie swooped in and unleashed a vicious attack on her former cohort.

With a match set for this Monday on Raw, will Doudrop get some much-needed retribution, or will Eva show her that the Eva-Lution is here to stay?

John Morrison is out for payback against The Miz

Say it isn’t so.

After a shocking betrayal by The Miz, John Morrison is out for some payback, and the two former Tag Team Champions will do battle one-on-one this Monday on Raw.

Morrison made it clear that the fun and games are over after the assault, and that he only intends on getting even with The A-Lister now.

These fucks got a Raw preview up before SmackDown. Bex and Brock must be hitting Vince with a whole lot of 'nah that doesn't work for me brother'

Sheamus/Bobby though ​

Is everyone going to gloss over the fact that 0/3 advertised matches happened

 

[Death By Looch]

Yea... fuck WWE for their bait & switches... but tbf, I already said last week that they won't give us Sheamus vs. Lashley one on one... which is a shame, I think they could tear the house down.

And fuck WWE for putting Nia over. I'm not sure if it was always planned to be clean, but fuck them for putting her over in a singles Match against Charlotte, when Shayna's going nowhere. Of course, it kinda looks like they are planning on the split of Jax and Baszler and I would love to see that happen, but I'm pretty sure nothing will come of it for Shayna in the end.

God dammit, WWE, this isn't that hard.

I really wish they'd stop advertising matches that aren't going to happen. I was really looking forward to Sheamus/Lashley and would have been bummed if I'd stayed up to watch it and it never happened.

I actually was gonna seek that one out too

 

[Jobber Doink]

Lets give Nia the most unsafe wrestler in WWE a match against charlotte but not shayna....

 

[Jobber Doink]

Its a good thing they sent Keith lee back to development too!

Raw continued its streak of eight straight weeks ahead of what it was doing the previous year with 1.91 million viewers and a 0.54 rating in 18-49, placing first for the night in the key demo.

Raw was second in women 18-49, first with men 18-49, first in 18-34, second in women 12-34, and doubled everything on cable in men 12-34.

It was down from last week's big number, down eight percent in viewers, down 16 percent in 18-49, and down five percent in 18-34.

But compared with one year ago, the show was up one percent in viewers, down seven percent in 18-49, and up 18 percent in 18-34.

Raw was 16th for the night in total viewers on cable, trailing only news shows.

The first-to-third hour drop was six percent, which is better than usual meaning people stayed longer than usual. Women 18-49 dropped only five percent, men 18-49 dropped 16 percent, girls 12-17 dropped 27 percent, boys 12-17 dropped four percent, and over 50 dropped three percent. The latter figure was unusually good.

The three hours were:

• 8 p.m. 1.96 million viewers
• 9 p.m. 1.94 million viewers
• 10 p.m. 1.83 million viewers
