Opening segment was fine, too many guys were involved. It was getting annoying.

First triple threat was a good match, it was obvious Roman was winning, but all 3 guys were great in this match.

It's amazing they get these hot commodity's from NXT and kill all their steam like they've done with Bobby Roode. Nobody cares for this guy anymore.

Another excellent promo from Alexa Bliss, very hyped for this match with Rousey at SummerSlam.. It doesn't make sense how she shows up on RAW while suspended and barely get's punished for it, but whatever.. It's WWE.

Sarah Logan is a lot better than i thought, surprising victory over Ember Moon.

Lashley wins the second triple threat in a solid match, so we're getting Reigns vs. Lashley again next week, winner faces Brock at SummerSlam.. I'm expecting Lashley to go over, but who knows.. They might not want to job Roman to Lashley again since they're so protective with Roman.

Decent RAW, 6/10

It feels like Raw is just repeating itself over and over again and again. For someone who's being held down by management, "The Guy" seems to get alot of opportunities to challenge for the universal championship. Honestly the segment with corbin and angle. When angle told corbin he wasn't in the match because he lost to balor. That must've been a line to gain heat. I'm just fed up at the booking of Reigns.

This was a good episode of RAW. No bad booking.

First of all: HOLY FUCK WHY ARE THEY GIVING US REIGNS/LASHLEY II NOBODY WANTS IT VINCE

Like seriously the reason we liked Lashley beating Roman bc we thought that would mean Bobby faced Brock and that took Reigns out of the title picture.

But then the triple threat matches were announced. Which is okay but if you want Roman to face Brock at SS (which is apparently what is rumored Vince still wants, which is fucking stupid considering he lost clean at Mania against Brock and last night against Lashley), just have Seth win the other triple threat. And if you want Lashley to face Brock (what I want), have McIntyre or Balor win the other triple threat.

JUST DON'T HAVE BOTH REIGNS AND LASHLEY WIN TO SET UP A REMATCH NO ONE WANTS

FUCK

 

[bullyballmm]

Apart from that stupid booking, an okay show. I found the first triple threat match more entertaining than the second one, I liked the opening segment even though I thought it was stupid that Lashley was fine with 5 other men being given a shot when he clearly should be the man next in line to face Lesnar. Bayley/Sasha still being booked horribly and now it looks like they are making up? (lol at the people in the crowd wolf whistling when Sasha says she loves Bayley).

Meanwhile Ember and the Riotts have to constantly face each other as Alexa/Nia/Ronda hog the title scene. Way to cool down Ember Moon guys - I actually think now that Vince wants to destroy HHHs NXT creations - The Revival, Asuka, Nakamura, Roode and now Ember - all people who have been made to look weak/stupod to put over talent who didn't win any NXT Titles.

Here's a tip for current/future NXT superstars - don't win an NXT title, it's bad for your career. Especially the women. Alexa and Carmella didn't win a title and are now booked like the best female superstars ever.

Whoops I've gone on another rant and have stopped talking about tonights show. Let me speed through the rest: B Team good, Mojo better than before but could still use some work (better music and someone tell him to stop making weird sounds in the ring), making Roode look strong, actually doing something with AoP, give us something with Braun that isn't Owens related.

5/10

Sorry but Ember Moon has no character. Get a character, then you can chase the title.

Vince seems to like Nakamura

 

[bullyballmm]

I think her character is "I'm from Twilight"? Also a lot of talk about the moon and fire

Her character was originally based on Athena, when she was in the Indies, and when she came to WWE she is loosely based on War Gods/Goddess from Greek, Roman, and a couple other Mythologies, to some extent. The moon always being red is a reference to the Roman belief that if a moon was red then a battle would come forth, the wolf like aspects come from Romans thinking the She-Wolf, a nickname for Ember Moon, was a powerful spirit that fought the hardest in battle, and the red contacts are because when a person is angry or wants to fight, their eyes turn Red. in old myths. Fire comes from the fact that fire is often associated with war and the Greek and Roman Gods Ares and Mars.

...or she could a title shot for being a great worker and wrestler.

Nope, I have never watched WWE, before in a entire life time...just from the time I was about three or so.

 

[Redboy123@]

Ember moon is just a look, a entrance and a finisher.

Yeah, like AJ Styles.. Who's been champion forever for being a great worker.

That was exactly my point I was making. AJ's character is boring and somewhat generic to me, but the guy can put on a show in the ring and has dedication to this Performance Art.

WWE is more about in-ring ability now than ever before.. Characters don't mean much anymore, most of the wacky characters get buried anyways.
