???
My totally awesome parents surprised me last week and I’m going to RAW in October!!!
Awesome!
I’m so excited!
Nice
Yeah, my ticket is my birthday present from my parents(my birthday is in September).
Awesome.
Cruiserweight title match tonight, not summerslam
Do you think we will see a title change
I think yes
hello everyone you missed it I went full fledged savage again in Ja’Von’s DM’s something about a Ziggler a Sunny a Nia and a Sasha it was madness I say lol
I was DONE???
I’m as savage as McGregor and undefeated like Mayweather lol
Sounds like ric flair has heart failure hope he pulls trough it
I hope so too cause it looks like Ric finally has everything together mostly and then this happens
Not trying to be a dick but it is kinda of a miracle that he has lived to see 68 he has had a wild life style for a long time
He lived his gimmick, he’ll admit it.
If it’s heart failure, he’s on borrowed time, but I’m sure he and his family will appreciate anytime they have left.
Yes he is
I don’t want to sound like a downer, but I’ve been through this with my grandmother.
Me too
Let’s Go!
Here we go!
Lets go
This is the best romantic comedy ever
I see some people on twitter saying Flair is stable… take with a grain of salt.
He might be stable, but he’s not out of the woods.
Oh certainly not. One step at a time though.
Dean kicks us off
Weekly Ambrose get’s possibly the biggest pop of the night.
BURN IT DOWN!
Is that new? I missed it last week lol
Yeah man. I haven’t gotten confirmation but I swear its the guy who use to sing the DX theme.
Best part of Seth’s theme
Happy with that opening montage! Give me my Ambrose/Rollins tag title match at SummerSlam, WWE!
Okay WWE you got a chance with Rollins and Ambrose maybe not at SummerSlam but to turn Dean heel eventually don’t F this up as much as I think you will
Not sure I’m on board the turn Ambrose heel train… but I am ok with something different and if heel is the different I have to get i’ll give it a go.
have them be Tag Champions for a month or 3 and then have Dean turn on Seth imo and do Dean vs Seth for Mania 33
You mean 34
True I meant 34, WWE really needs to start using the number system again for Mania
Agree
set SD and Raw PPV’s with the Mania number system back WWE really needs to find that old Ruthless WWE again cause a Ruthless Agression rebirth in today’s WWE I think would be perfect without some of the sex stuff obviously cause the way the women in WWE are today there not those type of women which I respect and admittingly kind of appreciate even though my non-PG side might disagree
Dean and Seth as Tag Team Champions would be a nice of change for both since Dean has not been a tag team guy and Seth has not been a tag team guy since that run with Roman in the Shield
Oh quit screwing with us! This is the go home show, WWE and your RAW card is LACKING!
Seth Rollins needs to give dean Ambrose a hug LOL
Can they please do the Mega Powers handshake to seal the deal?
Or Mega Powers fistbump
I’m ok with this too.
Seth and Dean fighting lol
Someone dropped there cell phone.
Look by the barricade.
Looks like they aren’t getting that back anytime soon
Chant?
Do I have my tag title match or not?!
In the words of Daniel Bryan? YES!
OFFICIAL?!
We all scratching our heads wondering the same thing if we hear Kurt’s music then we do
special moment here folks…. AmbRollins is TOGETHER!
Goosebumps
YES
Yes!
Hell why not at SummerSlam for one night only let them come out in the old Shield attire and music for one night why not
Sierra Hotel India Echo Lima Delta
Yea for one night it’s SummerSlam go the whole 9 yards for this semi-Shield reunion
THE SHEILD
ANGLE MUSIC!!!
Seems like the Boston crowd is hot tonight
Boston’s always hot. The pop for Sasha will be unreal!
And that match is next too
YES!!!!! YESYESYESYES!!!!! *HAPPY DANCING*
Called it if you hear Kurt’s music then it’s offical
Can’t wait to see Angel wrestle again
I keep trying to feel Nakamura, and it’s not getting there.
Sunday isn’t going to help either.
I’m TRYING so hard to like him, but I’m not feeling it.
I like him better in NXT or NJPW
Props to WWE for taking the time to acknowledge Ric’s health problems.
Sounds like there chant we want sasha
Is anyone aware that Nia isn’t like most girls?
The hell is that lifeguard chair doing there?
Life guard in a chair match?
It’s probably there for Alexa
Y’all that first segment had me feeling every type of emotion there is to feel
hey Girl it’s been awhile
Okay, WWE, do NOT screw this up! You screwed up Hell in a Cell in Boston, don’t screw this up too.
Hometown curse
If sasha banks doesn’t win this match their maybe a riot
The boos from Hell in a Cell are big reminder of that.
Where is JoJo?
ask Bray
CHHHIIILLLL
Why do I have a feeling Sasha is gonna knock her out of that chair?
Uh oh… is she legit hurt?
probably not
Let’s hope I’m looking to much into it… I’m rewinding back as I type
She’s just selling Nia mowing her down
I have no comment on Nia doing Sasha’s uhhhhh yea I can’t think of the right word to describe it moving on lol
Dam
OUCH!
MY GOSH
SASHA IS DEAD
Back back back back back back back back GONE! Home Run!
I thought wrestling was fake
Nia just tried to drop the leg brother.
Such a weak kickout
Looks like the guy got his phone back
Nia’s best match to date.
There’s no way Sasha should be rolling up Nia so easily
Right i was just thinking that
good match so far but the little things like that are bothering me
Her best match since coming to the main roster
agreed
*Sarcasm Font* Momentum?
yeah that’s it!
If I was booking Nia i would make her an unstoppable monster like Asuka and have her be an undefeated champion and then challenge the SmackDown women’s champion at one of the big four ppvs
Nia probably should have won the gauntlet heading into RAW’s Great Balls of Fire cause they made her look really strong before you know they had Sasha beat her
Nia’s WAY too green. She’s come a long way, but she’s too green for that to work.
I actually just typed in my RawView I’d love to see Nia go on a run destroying the division and it leads to an Asuka (NXT Women’s Champ 600+ days) vs. Nia Jax. the visual of that match would be awesome.
I wonder if sasha banks did something nia backstage because she is beating her Ass
WOW
that was a really good finishing sequence imo
Nia taps!
Kudos ladies Kudos!
Of course…
That was solid match and congrats to Sasha for breaking the hometown curse
you think she’s winning the title now at SummerSlam?
I could see that but Sasha is on a Summerslam losing streak right now
I think there gonna put the title on her cause I think the plan was for Bayley to win the title but now cause she’s out put Sasha in and you could roll with a story of something like Sasha taking Bayley’s opportunity and using that as a device to turn her heel
I like that but I just wish Bayley won the title and have Sasha turn on her that would be so much better
I agree with you no doubt but things can always change on a drop of a dime
True but it would be better if it happens in Brooklyn
YES! The Boss rules in Boss Town!
I hate ‘Woken’ Hardys. It sounds like they’re channeling Elmer Fudd.
6 man tag match at Summerslam?
Gotta do something. Miz/Jordan is as interesting as paint and Hardys can’t wrestle the Revival due to Bald One blowing his bicep.
Try and sprinkle some Hardy dust on Jason Jordan.
Jordan would need something resembling a personality and/or charisma to begin with and he isn’t showing any sign of either.
Maybe he went to Lance Storm’s school of charisma?
He’s not on the Miz’s level yet
The Miz and the miztourage are gold
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…. serious face…. I agree.
Awwwww snap
Only gripe I have about the Women’s Title match is that it wasn’t the main event.
And we’re back and coming into a bar fight.
WHY?!?!
okay why watch SummerSlam if there gonna give SummerSlam away for free tonight?
Can’t get that fatal four way tonight
I think Finn vs Bray will still happen at SummerSlam
it won’t feel as big though imo
Think Balor/Wyatt is getting cut from the card, so we’re doing that match tonight. Same with the 205 match.
weird as hell considering it’s gonna be a 6 hour long show with that 2 Hour Kick Off show
Yeah, but my gut tells me that’s what’s going down.
Guessing Bray/Finn was scheduled for SummerSlam, but their match is getting cut. so we’re doing it tonight.
Same with the cruiserweight title
Elias getting MAJOR heat.
LET’S CRANK IT UP
Elias cranked it down…
R-Truth needs to be repackaged
Will we see the return of El Kabong?
Anybody else tired of Enzo?
Yeah, he needs to either go to 205 or go back to NXT.
I feel like he needs to improve his wrestling before going to 205 Live
Honestlly he’d get lost in 205L as its heavy work rate guys for the most part. Back to NXT and a gimmick change? Or maybe just find him a new tag partner….
I’m hoping for NXT
Honestly NXT could use him.
If 205 guys were more like Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio, I’d agree, but they aren’t. Most of them are high flyers with minimal matwork, Enzo would be okay.
but what does Enzo have to offer in the ring? He’s all talk
He’d at least be able to work with guys his own size and improve. Where he’s at right now does him no favors.
If I had a dime for all the love I have for Enzo……
let me guess… you’d have ZERO DIMES
Well you know…..
Big Cass getting the 9pm slot. That’s big…. I’m not sure if you guys have seen his YouTube numbers but they are typically around a million weekly.
Also main evented RAW a few weeks ago
Officials backstage see something in him and obviously there are fans that do as well.
I mean, Enzo plays a role in all of this too
So are we giving credit to Big Show also? lol
Listen to that crowd….
He almost on that Eva Marie level of heat
The ‘Go the f*ck away’ heat?
AHAHAHAHA I love this
Kudos to the Boston crowd tonight for making this show even better. Great crowds make watching so much better.
Whaaaaa?!
This is lame.
Soooooo Big Cass & The Club? Somebody help me out here
Cass Club? The Good Brothers & Cousin Cass? Enzo/Cass beat the Good Brothers last week. Cass has had issues…. common enemy thing?
could be. Idk how I would feel with Cass joining up with The Club
This Raw has been awesome.
And that’s saying a lot for a go home show
Any chance Akira wins tonight?
Yup, Balor/Wyatt and Neville/Akira is being cut from SummerSlam.
How deep is this roster the WWE has? Summerslam could legit have 14 matches that have top level talent in them. That’s insane.
it might be the most talented roster in WWE history and yet creative has almost zero idea what to do with them
Tozawa vs. Nevill tonight…. AH AH AH AH AH Titus….. WORLDWIDE!
Who ya got?
Neville
What the hell gimme Tozawa. They seem to be giving this Boston crowd tons to cheer for. If Tozawa wins tonight they could have the rematch at Summerslam on the preshow. Also the storyline is Tozawa overcoming his injuries to win.
Kudos to WWE for explaining why this match is moved to tonights Raw. Its small things like that, that doesn’t insult the fans intelligence.
Why was it moved?
They said because Titus wanted it to happen in Boston on a big stage and didn’t want to wait until Sunday.
I miss you JoJo
We miss JoJo clap… clap…. clap clap clap
We miss JoJo???
well I know why JoJo is apparently not at Raw apparently her sister passed away
WHY isn’t Apollo out here cheering on Towzawa
Ya know…. if Tozawa doesn’t take the title…. I wouldn’t be upset with a Tozawa/Crews tag team.
Crews would have to lose a lot of weight
Not in 205L …. Tozawa and Crews as a tag team in the tag division.
Would love that but don’t see Vince letting Tozawa leaving the cruiserweight division
COME ON
Ain’t I great?
HE DID IT
NEW CHAMPION
CONGRATS, Tozawa!
New champ!
I’m happy Tozawa is the new champion just would of felt bigger had it happened at SummerSlam that’s my gripe against it
I feel the same way
Why was it moved?
Time constraint
Okay, that’s what I thought. I don’t think WWE wants another 7 hour marathon like WrestleMania.
That was a trainwreck and exhausting to watch
Most of it was okay with a few exceptions, but the 7hrs from pre-show to Taker’s goodbye was exhausting.
As someone who was there I absolutely agree.
Tozawa just won so does that mean both Asuka and Nakamura are gonna win this weekend too
#NetworkExpansion
Just like Jinder
So is WWE cutting the trashfire Show/Cass match too?
Looks like it
Wonder if any SD matches are getting cut.
Hope not
No match is still on
is WWE like scrapping half of SummerSlam what the hell is going on lol
Time constraint is my reason for why
I think they’re trying to avoid a 7hr marathon, a LOT of fans complained about that at Mania, so they’re trimming off some matches but not scrapping them all together.
I guess Enzo didn’t know that Big Show was pushed off a building at one time.
Balor vs. Wyatt, Jordan vs. Miz, Mickie vs. Emma and Fatal fourway face off still to come.
Good show so far
I have a hard time believing Balor/Wyatt is cut out of Summerslam.
Me too but I guess they didn’t want it on pre-show, so doing it tonight might be the better option.
You know a kip up after the bicycle kick from Balor would be a nice touch.
Clean.
Bray wins
Wyatt just beat Fin. I’m shock and shook at the same time
That’s Rollins and now Balor right?
Yup
WTF
EW!!! I know it’s corn syrup but EWWWWW!!!!
Bringing the Demon out.
So title matches only at SummerSlam?
Maybe, all the title matches are filled.
For the RAW side ya we don’t know yet for SmackDown
So, Bray/Finn is back on.
called it. That’s not a match you wanna take off the card
DEMON KING
Six man tag for the pre-show.
