Big Cass vs Kevin Owens announced
This should be a good one
Agreed! Hoping for a good show before Summerslam!
Me too but keep in mind they still have to go up against the Olympics
Not many big events tonight I don’t think so they might be okay!
True
Should be good
Thanks for joining!
Who is watching the pre-show?”
I am
I always forget about it
Nothing too memorable happens lol
So true
PTP reuniting tonight one night only
Saw that, who are they facing?
Idk
“The Beast Returns?” didn’t he return last week? lol
or the week before?
It was the week before
Lol yeah a bit odd! Welcome!
thank you! glad to be back!
Jinder vs Neville? eh
I’m into it lol
I’m interested to see what they do with Jinder. I personally think he should’ve been put on SD Live for better opportunities
So true because RAW is three hours and the roster is too crowded cuz some of the good talent is being underutilized Daniel said it himself about Ceasro
Rusev is kicking off RAW tonight
I just realized we’ll be chatting 4 times this week.. hopefully!
Yeah! Planning on doing NXT Takeover and Summerslam if there is enough interest!
Here we go!!!
LET’S GO
Checking in.
Welcome!
As always
Hey!
Howdy
What’s up
Just got some pizza for me and my son, walked in the door and Raw just started lol
Rollins kicks us off!
Wheres Ronnie??
good question. he makes the chat more hype
Anyone know how serious big E injury is
Storyline injury lol
Ok
Had to be from the PPV when he landed on his head/neck
Yeah guessing he is just getting some extra rest in? Apparently he wrestled at a live event
Ok
1. What is Rollins doing?
2. How much did it cost to salvage Lana’s dress?
Note: My sound is off due to working, so I can’t hear the TV.
he was promoting his SS match
He was calling out the demon king
Rusev not happy lol
Come on Roman
I support Ru Ru.
Thanks for joining!
Thanks. Should be a good time.
Me too.
Like Foleys shirt
Loving the shirt Mick is wearing
me too. i want it lol
30% off today at WWE Shop lol
Nice shirt Mick.
Rusev not happy
I hate the What chant with a passion.
It’s terrible.
Its blatantly disrespectful. I hate it.
thank Stone Cold
Here comes the Queen
Here comes Roman
I like Rusev rn. This is great.
Roman is getting better on the mic
Does Roman’s left eye look weird to anyone else?
he got stitches this past weekend
Ah. I do remember seeing that. Thanks.
no problem!
He got injuried at a lI’ve event
Battle wound
Rusev vs Reigns tonight
Well alrighty then
Summerslam comes early tonight but it’s non-title and for Lana’s honor
A Rusev win maybe
He won last week maybe he wins to keep being dominant or Regins wins to give him momentum
Didnt know they were in TX. Hahhhhn
Smackdown is coming here to Dallas in a few weeks but I can’t go. I’m upset.
Damn, i had no idea, i wouldve got my son and me some tickets. Im already saving up because TLC for smackdown will be in dallas in dec.
Yeah, I’m definitely going to that. Damn class on Tuesday makes me miss Smackdown.
why do they keep saying Brock is returning? We’ve already seen him. Do they mean he’s gonna be in a match?
I hope so
Of course not.
Nope not match when was the last time he had a match on TV
lol before WM
Really??
well… now that i think about it, i think he had appearances but didn’t have matches. so idk lol
Think Rollins vs balor will be the summerslam main event?
Probably. Could also be Orton and Brock. I guess.
I think Charlotte vs Sasha should be the main event honestly
That’s a fact 100% agree
Facts
Not too excited for Ru Ru and Reigns with it happening in 6 days.
I am. 2 great wrestlers in the ring. US title on the line is a plus.
I’m excited for the Summerslam match, this match kind of seems pointless to me. Might just be me though.
I understand, the storyline is based more on Rusevs marriage than the actual title.
If lesnar wrestles a jobber, im not watching wrestling no more. Ever!!!
you sure about that? lol
Im lying. Haha
Haha Sheamus.
GUYS SAMI’S ON RAW TONIGHT I guess they do listen to us
yeah i don’t want another Raw without Sami
Not sure why they had him off last week
I thought for sure it was gonna be Sheamus vs Cesaro again. Thank God.
It makes me mad that they don’t sing Sami’s theme song
That’s hype music
It was so loud at Takeover Dallas and Mania.
I guess Cole totally just missed Sheamus kicking his hat out of the ring.
Ceasro on commentary
He needs to go to SD already
Daniel said he wanted Ceasro on SD but after him being used well last week in RAW with his match against Sheamus and his US Title main event match he thinks he will be in great hands so now he wants Sami
Is Cesaro gimmick supposed to be James bond like
Thats what ive thought also
What do you all think of this Conor McGregor nonsense?
Just trying to sell his fight
At this point, he’s trolling now.
At first when I heard about it I was like WOW he’s gonna get his ass kicked but then realized it’s just him trying to get heat and sell his fight
I hope Nate destroys him again. I’ll be watching NXT though so.
Im a fan of both, but I am a bigger WWE fan. I spend money on merch, toy wrestlers, & rings for my son, wwe network, live events, etc. etc. I was offended when he originally called wrestlers “pussies”. But him calling John Cena fat made me laugh. I hope he loses at UFC ppv tho
As of right now both Sami and Ceasro don’t have a match at Summerslam what do yall think about that
think they will
Could be a tag? Cesaro and Zayn Vs. Sheamus and ????
zayn wins!!!
It’s definitely gonna be Sheamus Vs. Cesaro.
agreed
JERIKO
love them
I don’t get why the wwe would ever leave Sami of the show look at the reaction got from the crowd
KO & Sami had so much juice after their last PPV match. And now, KO is in a random tag team w Y2J and Sami doesnt even have a match for SS.
I like them together.
As do i but it seems like they are going backwards since the last PPV
I can’t lie i’m loving team JeriKO
I like them together also… Very good/funny promos but KO should be a solo star.
They left Sami of last week’s show
Maybe they dont think highly of Sami without KO
I think there.Both excellent wrestlers
Oh theres no questioning their wrestling abilities
JeriKO just might be the tag team of the year
Haha.
Best of 7 Series? lol
Best of 7?
Best of 7 series. Nice idea
Interesting.
Ceasro vs Sheamus in a best of 7 series
I miss big E
Xavier is very underated wrestler. Big E being injured(lol) is great for him.
So will the best of seven winner get anything? Feels like they should be going for something no?
Maybe a title shot?
that was the point of their match two weeks ago tho… idk
Cesaro should already be getting one tho.
Maybe a championship match possibly
Cesaro should already be getting a title shot. Good question tho.
Dudley Boys are great heels
Well they’re about to get split up.
So Ceasro has a match at Summerslam now we just need Sami to get on the card
LOL “Don’t get testy Doc”
They doing Xavier dirty putting him in the small jar
I was thinking the same thing. I started laughing when i saw it
Seriously kayfabe hurt lol
Im not ready for the New Day to lose their titles yet
It’s past time for them to lose. Vince trashed a good tag division to keep the titles on them and it’s past time for them to drop the belts.
That’s true because they made Xavier kickout of the Vaudevillians finisher
It’s more than that. It’s bringing the Dudleys back and then making them look like jokes. It’s Lucha Dragons and Usos putting on a great match at TLC, just for New Day to basically do nothing and still win. Vince took a great tag division and trashed it just to keep the belts on New Day.
They didnt make the Dudleys look like jokes. The Dudleys made their initial return to put over the younger team, and New Day happened to be the younger talent.
They made 10x Tag Champions look ridiculous. They could’ve put them over without trashing the Dudleys, who deserved a lot better than how they’ve been treated.
I see your point.
I don’t think anyone is but they have been Champs for almost a year now it’s kinda time for them to drop them to the club
Im biased. I think New Day is the best tag team ever. I feel like they can hold on to the titles for another whole year. Seriously
NOOO they need to drop them like yesterday
Lol
Ok. Lets just forget how over they once were. And still are.
I’m not down with Cesaro/Sheamus Best of 7. A series like that should be for something like a title, not just for the heck of it. Make the SummerSlam match 2 Out of 3 Falls.
Squash.
One squash match coming right up
Yep
The most dominating women wrestler who hasnt beat anybody yet
I wonder if her weight well stop the wwe from giving her a big push
It shouldn’t.
She had two title matches in NXT
Im sure it will. I doubt she’ll ever be champ
I had to look up who the New Day beat. I totally didn’t remember. Lmao.
They have beaten every tag team.
I meant to win the titles.
They beat PTP Los Matadores and The Usos
They’ve also had multi-tag team matches that they’ve came out victorious. We cant just leave those out like they never happened.
Nia is literally gonna kill this girl
RIP this person.
A squash match is is just a 1 person show. But It takes 2 people to make a great match.
She dead
Splat.
Squashed lol
BROCK IS NEXT isn’t he usually the one to close the show or open it
I think we all might be witnessed attempt murder lol wow don’t piss nia off
I think Nia will be in the title picture after SS
I hope so
if Sasha wins, which will most likely happen, Nia is the only other woman on the roster that deserves a title push
That’s true because she’s fresh and could Sasha a run for the title
Bayley get called up right after Brooklyn or a bit later?
good question. if she loses to Asuka, I would have to say that they call her up
I read an article that she will get called up in September
So a few weeks after Brooklyn. Makes sense.
Here comes the pain
Well, here comes the pain.
RIP slater
Heath NOOOOOOOOOO
Oh my God. This is gonna be amazing.
OH SHIT NO HE DIDN’T JUST DO WHAT I THINK HE JUST DID
RIP Heath
Does Slater have a death wish
THAT’S RIGHT HEATH!
I want heath’s shirt
Heath wants to be a Paul Heyman Guy?
You got this Heath.
Slater so underrated
UPSET OF A LIFETIME
Haha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
??????
The S-bomb. I love it
Darn.
Thought Heath had him.
Poor Heath he’s just trying to provide for his family
Lol
Lesar showed off his entire moveset in that match with Heath lol
lol
Heath actually thought he was gonna sneak attack Lesnar
Haha I love Heath
Micks daughter is hot
That’s why I can’t believe she is he’s daughter
I know right
Like who’s mom
i’m guessing she looks like her mom
The show looks awful though in my opinion
Yea going to give it a shot see how it is
99% has to be from the mother.
Let’s go KO.
Yes
At least Jericho is wearing a shirt with his scarf
How do you guys rate Cory Graves commentary?? I think he’s slightly annoying. I guess i dont like heel commentators.
he’s the best one at that table. In NXT he did a great job of putting people over
Was he a heel commentator?
Yes
yes. he put heels and babyfaces over
I wanted him on Smackdown. I like heel commentators more though so We’ll probably differ.
Haha. Yeah
2 hour kickoff. That’s where Sami will end up being I bet.
2 hour?!
Unless I misheard they literally just said that.
No that’s right 2 HOURS 6 HOURS TOTAL 2 kickoff 4 ppv
With probably it going over after 10 (CST)
Yup
AWESOME ATTACK BACKSTAGE.
Finlay sighting.
and he looooves to fight
They need to make more episodes of Camp WWE
Facts
Looking forward to that WWE24.
Same
Missed it, what is the theme?
Women Revolution
PTP IN THE HOUSE
So why exactly is PTP together?
rivalry
Not sure lol
No one knows.
Oh yay. PTP…..
This will end well. Let’s get the Shining Stars a win!
There you go
“The Shining Stars look to bring credibility to the tag division.” You can probably be quiet Byron.
haha this made me laugh
Wow… what an irrelevant match
One of the preshow matches will be Titus vs Darren again cause this rivalry already happened the first time the prime time players broke up
Havent watched the latest CWC episode. Heard the main event was really good.
It was GLORIOUS a must see match I dare say better than what we have been seeing on the main roster
Let’s go Jinder
A brand split so that Jinder Mahal can get some TV time. Ok?
The legend jinder Mahal
Jinder vs Neville
I never realized how tall Jinder really is
What’s y’all’s 2 cents on Raw? My Twitter feed is massacring it.
My twitter is broken. “Something is technically wrong.”
Its been a good show so far.
It’s been okay, maybe not the greatest Go Home Show of all time, but it’s building Summerslam.
The thing about twitter, its all bandwagon. Somebody with a lot of followers said Raw sucks….. Everybody else follows.
I’m enjoying it. I’m not hard to please though.
Same here.
I actually enjoy Smackdown more than Raw.
Demon Finn debut tonight
Hope not. Save it for Sunday.
I keep thinking he’s saying Demon Kane.
What is happening lol
Fan I think
Uh oh…
It is time
NOOOOOOOO
They didn’t save it for Sunday. I’m upset.
Fans who dont watch NXT need to know who this Demon Kane is…hes been talked about for 2 straight weeks.
Demon King****
Lol. Thats what i meant
Am legitimately pissed right now
I actually think the demon debut tonight hurts him with mainstream casual fan.
Exactly.
In what way?
Because the diamond is something special when watching NXT you only see the demon at TakeOver events or beast in the east never on TV
Oh. I didnt know that Demon King was only brought out on NXT PPVs
yeah and it’s not at every PPV either
I think the only one was probably TakeOver: Respect
Yep. I was soooooo relieved they didn’t have demon talk!!!
I agree with inner nerd I know that’s why they did it. But the mainstream was just getting to know regular Finn Balor. I would’ve saved demon storyline for another PPV. Rollins Balor after 1st few promos had perfect story Seth, authority boy vs underdog nxt star. That said I watch nxt and love demon Balor and love this matchup for the amazing wrestling it’s going to produce Sunday. ?
The paint is special, should be reserved for only PPVs. I get they’re introducing it but still lame.
I feel like less than half the audience watches NXT so they have to show the fans what the demon thing means
Exactly.
I agree
The “holy shit” & “this is awesome” chants justify this whole thing.
Disagree. Wasted opportunity to debut it on a big show.
The people saying that are probably the ones who don’t watch NXT
Can’t wait for summerslam
I agree. Strong looking PPV
I understand both sides of the coin on the whole Demon King debut. I still believe fans who dont watch NXT needed to see Demon King on Raw so casual fans who dont have WWE Network(a little over 1 million Network subscribers but close to 3 million viewers of Raw….huge difference) need to know what he looks like. Seeing Demon King probably just got some people to subscribe to the WWE Network because its been a part of the storyline for 2 weeks now. *my opinion*
Did Xavier just break Francesca 2?
Yes yes he did he broke his girl
Any chance these 2 break up after SS?
Seeds are being planted now
I like it. would be a good rivalry in my opinion
Either it just happened or the seeds were planted for the breakup
i don’t think it’s official yet
Can’t wait for TakeOver
Lol the return of Alicia Fox
Does Nakamura really need developmental??
heck no. it needs him
So does NXT hold certain wrestlers back?
Nope
But Nakamura doesnt need NXT… NXT needs him.
That’s true they need him to keep the star power going but he probably likes where he’s at
Maybe, maybe not. Prolly feels he’s above these guys who still need to develope.
Stars like him including Roode and Joe are asked that plenty of times and they say that they enjoy being in NXT they like where NXT is going and they want to be apart of it
How much of that is the “politically correct” thing to say and how much of it is actually truth? We’ll never know 100% sure.
Has there been any statistics on how many people watch NXT every wednesday and how many people watch NXT PPVs. Actual stats/numbers?
Idk but if they can sellout the barclays center and at wrestlemania weekend then it seems like a lot of ppl watch NXT
True.
not necessarily. with everyone moving up, you gotta have people to replace them. NXT does a good job of giving people a chance to make a name for themselves
No they need him down there it’s to keep the star power that’s why Joe Roode Asuka and Bayley are down there still
Lol we want sasha chants
Last half hour of RAW
Nice steady show so far.
Damn, Tha Dude was US champ that long??
Yup he won the title from Kofi when he was in the shield it was the same night that Seth and Roman became tag Champs and he lost it in a battle royal
Thats crazy, i never would’ve expected it
I love the very beginning of Strowmans theme lol
Great… another squash match
i stand corrected (:
Lol
Lets go Roman
start the match ref
Loving Romans NWO wolfpack colors-inspired gear
yeah good ol Ronnie pointed it out 2 weeks ago
He was missed today.
extremely
Another commercial break, damn
https://www.iwnerd.com/footage-fantrying-attack-seth-rollins-raw-taken-security/
Footage of a fan attacking Rollins tonight lol
Cole did a good job of playing it off
Agree
Stone Cold or Triple H wouldve beat the dog shit out of him lol
Did anyone just see those two guys in the orange shirts playing rock paper scissors
Haha. I was brushing my sons teeth, i missed it
Of course reigns is gonna kick out. Thats what he does.
It took a while to build up Rusev into a beast after his Cena fued. Will Roman do the same to him after SS?
I hope so I am a fan of Rusev
No, will Roman ruin Rusevs credibility after SS? Rusev was a beast then Cena ruined it. Will Roman do the same to him?
This is a good match
PPV quality match!!
Well that was predictable
Of course Roman is gonna win. Of course he is.
Rusev sells the spear pretty good.
Thanks for joining guys. We will be back for Smackdown tomorrow and for NXT and Summerslam this weekend!
See you all tomorrow!
