Spoiler: Raw Results

Opening

Dean Ambrose came to the ring. He challenges the Miz and Miztourage to come out for a fight. Rollins came out to ask Ambrose why he was asking for a fight he couldn't win. They talk about the Shield and Rollins gave Ambrose a chair and offered to let him hit him with the chair.

The Miz and the Miztourage come to the ring. They get into a fight and take out Ambrose and then advance on Rollins. They take him down as well.

Alexa Bliss vs Bayley

Bayley won by pin fall.

Brian Kendrick and Drew Gulak vs. Jack Gallagher and Mustafa Ali

Jack Gallagher and Mustafa Ali won by pin fall.

Enzo Cass and Big Show

Enzo was in the ring and he was confronted by Cass. Then Big Show came out and he brawled with Cass. Cass ended up taking out both Show and Enzo and left to boos.

Elias Samson vs. Finn Balor

Finn Balor won by DQ

Akira Tozawa vs. Ariya Daivari

Ariya Daivari won when the referee stopped the match

Kurt Angle Announcement

Throughout the night they played little vignettes leading to the Kurt Angle announcement. Angle came to the ring. Basically the announcement was he got a girl pregnant in college and Jason Jordan is his son. They hug and the segment is over.

The Revival vs. The Hardys

The Revival won by pin fall

Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe

No ending was announced for this match as Braun Strowman came to the ring and destroyed both Roman and Joe.

 

[Death Walker]

I gave it a four, nothing too special not even the Kurt Angle big reveal. A very weak beginning to the show, nothing stood out as amazing for any matches. I would have gave this a solid.......FIVE, BUT WWE did the most stupidest shit and that was having Braun Strowman return (TONIGHT OF ALL THE STUPIDEST TIMES TO CHOOSE) and disrupt the match between Roman Reigns & Samoa Joe, so fuck them for that weak shit.

~ Okay RAW...let me have a look...And I'm going to try and be positive this
week...the key word being try...

~ So...a Shield reunion? Okay...that's cool...I guess...although I suspect the
WWE are doing it for a desperate reason.

~ And Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley...again...Great...and here comes Nia Jax & Sasha
Banks...again...and Bayley pins Alexa...again. Wow...its almost as if the WWE
are trying to back track on the burial treatment they've given to Bayley these
last two months.

But on a real positive...Sasha looked amazing tonight. Seriously...her husband is
an incredibly lucky man.

I'd dress my wife (if I had one) in tiny shorts like that if she looked that good...

:woah:

~ [HASHTAG]#IgnoreReigns[/HASHTAG]

~ I hope this Angle reveal is actually going to be something important or at
least interesting...but I doubt I'll care...

~ And the Cruiserweights are here...Yay! Yay? I don't care...SKIP!

~ The WWE should just release Enzo and get it over and done with. The guy has no
future in this company...especially considering the backstage heat he has at the moment.

~ [HASHTAG]#IgnoreReigns[/HASHTAG]

~ Why would Ambrose trust Rollins again? Is Rollins a face? Why is this happening?
Oh I know...because the WWE are planning a Shield Reunion at Summerslam so the
fans don't boo the piss out of their "Chosen One" when he wins the Universal title.

~ Didn't Balor & Samson have a match last week? Isn't Balor above this?
Oh..and it appears we are getting the match again next week.

~ So...a Balor/Wyatt feud? Okay...I mean...I want to care...but I don't.

~ So...we get Sasha vs. Bayley next week for the title shot at Summerslam? Remember
when they did this same match before Wrestlemania and it was really, really sad?

I do...Ugh...I'm trying to be positive here...but I'm struggling with it.

And what's the bet that Nia Jax comes out during that match, interferes and Angle
or whoever makes it a 4 way match at Summerslam for the women's title. The exact
same match we had at Wrestlemania...but with less talent because Charlotte isn't in
the match.

But it could work if the end result is Sasha turning heel, winning the title and Nia Jax
becoming her bodyguard/enforcer.

Seriously...I'd be 110% behind that.

~ I don't care about the Titus Brand or the Cruiserweights unless Neville is defending
his title...SKIP!!!

~ Okay...spill the beans Kurt...And Jason Jordan is Kurt Angle's son? Okay...a
few points here...

1). I guess American Alpha is over with and Jason Jordan will be getting a singles push.
2). Can Emma be drafted to SmackDown to take Jason Jordan's spot and fight Naomi
at Battleground for the title?
3). Didn't they do this Angle (Pun!) with Vince and that Midget a few years ago?
4). I'm sure someone on this forum had this same idea for the Undertaker and
Baron Corbin a few months ago.
5). I really don't care.

~ Okay the Hardyz vs. the Revival...this should be a good match...and it was/

~ [HASHTAG]#IgnoreReigns[/HASHTAG]

Or...BRAUN!!! returns and ruins the finish and then Angle...or someone
else...makes a Four way Match for the Universal title at Summerslam.

Brock Lesnar vs. Samoa Joe vs. Braun Strowman vs. [HASHTAG]#ignorereigns[/HASHTAG]
as the main event for Summerslam.

Called it...

And no Emma, Mickie James, Alicia Fox or Dana Brooke this week.
Because the RAW women's division only has 4 performers in it.

Stay away Summer Rae...just become a bikini model or something like that.

And I'm Done.

 

[¡Tranquilo!]

Jason Jordan is Kurt Angle's son.

...that's it...that's all I have.

 

[Black Iron PJ]

"Long-Term Booking"

 

[Solid Snake]

Stay away Summer Rae...just become a bikini model or something like that.

It is getting to the point where most of them would be better off becoming models be it fitness or other. What the heck are they doing? The women's revolution was a SHAM!

Results coming soon...

u did say RATE tonight's Raw, right??

 

[Gman003]

So Jason jordan is Kurt angles kayfabe son?

OK, not exactly how I imagined it... and not as a singles competitor... but I've been saying since their main roster debut, American Alpha need Angle to boost their popularity.

It was all so perfect... Angle as the manager or mentor of AA.

But they've gone and messed it up, unless they're keeping AA together and pushing them to the moon?

Idk I didn't watch any I was at work and honestly have no desire to watch RAW anymore lol

Yes, these weekly threads happen after every Raw and SmackDown. You vote above and share any opinions you have. I am responding because he is sleeping. lol

[Grievous 3D]

Wow...just wow...

First off...she is 100% in the right here.

There hasn't been a WWE performer with a worse run of luck and botched
creative choices than Emma (Well...may-be Hideo Itami).

Its amazing to think about how many women have surpassed her in the
years she's been on the main roster...Hell...she was even sent back to
NXT (which was fine and was the right move for her career at the time)
but Emma just never seems to be-able to build any momentum.

The Curious Case of Emma's Poor Booking and WWE Creative's Shot at Redemption

Now I am bias when it comes to Emma...she's Australian and I want her
to reach the very top of the women's division. I want Emma to be viewed
as a Champion and role model not just for Australian women...but all
Australians...but I truly fear she will never get the opportunities to do so.

Its also annoying when looking at TNA, watching them build their
Knockouts division around someone like Sienna (who I find incredibly
boring) and knowing in my heart that Emma could easily fill that role
and have some great matches with Rosemary, Allie and even Gail Kim.

Spoiler: She's Got The Look

You can't say Emma doesn't have the right look...because the woman
is stunning...and for a reminder of just how talented she is in the ring...
watch her NXT match against Asuka from the TakeOver London show.

The woman can work.

It is truly frustrating for me as a wrestling fan and an Australian to see
Emma simply being wasted by the WWE.

I mean she can't even get on Total Divas...but Alexa, Nia & Carmella
all get a spot. WHAT.THE.HELL?!

Now...on a more serious note...Emma posting such messages like this
on social media may not be the best way for her to get a push.

She may as well ask for a release, go wrestle in TNA, Lucha Underground
and the Indies and do some modeling work for a few bikini companies.

Surely that would be better than loosing to Mickie James on Main Event.

It is getting to the point where most of them would be better off becoming models be it fitness or other.
What the heck are they doing? The women's revolution was a SHAM!

It is beginning to sadly look that way...which really pisses me off.

+++

I know I've seemed really negative as of late ...but so far this year
hasn't been very positive for me as far as wrestling goes.

While I really did enjoy 2016...a lot of the booking choices made by
the WWE (and TNA) have really pissed me off this year.

(And no...I'm happy they made Jinder the World Champion)

I want to enjoy and be excited about wrestling...but I can't enjoy it
if my favorite performers are loosing every week, being booked in
pointless, filler angles or are simply not even appearing on TV.

I want to care and be invested...but...at the moment...I'm really
struggling with it.

 

[Jacob Fox]

I missed it due to changing my sleeping schedule so I can watch all of the G1 Climax live. It looks like I made the right choice. Wow, the Kurt Angle thing seems nearly as bad as the Claire Lynch reveal years ago. Build something up with a reveal that barely anyone could care about.

I'll watch the Strowman part but that sounds about the only thing worth checking out.

 

[Snowman1]

Watched the final segment. Did not see Stephanie.

10/10 Raw for that alone
