    Can they drop the "Rowdy" part? I get they want to show she was a fan of his, but it doesn't really sound that good

    Steph is doing a good job creating a feud here for two people who struggle on the mic themselves.

    They can’t cut promos themselves, so Steph is literally cutting promos on each other for them

    So is Nia heel now? Did they push her as a “everyone is beautiful” and “stand up to bullies” face for like 2 months and now she is bullying Rhonda?

    While it was also extremely bad it did was not nearly as cringeworthy

    also didnt Nia literally tap to an Asuka arm bar like 2 months ago

    Watching on delay, are they really running with Roman Reigns is being buried by management?

    Do they really think this is going to get him over?

    That's been her nickname for years going back to UFC. Pretty sure Piper personally approved it which explains the strong link to his gear, colors, etc.

    I love that the storyline is "management is out to bury Roman he's on the 40 of the first 45 minutes.

    As if the story line wasnt ridiculous enough, what has management actually done to bury him? Hes in every main event. They haven't done anything to screw him . What they didn't give him a 4th title opportunity after losing first 3? They didn't give him ANOTHER mitb qualifying match after he lost his first chance?

    I hate they trying to put some of Rollins rub onto Roman, I hope it isn't long term and have the opposite effect. Rollins is red hot, he needs to be far away from Roman

    Because when I look at Roman Reigns I think of a guy WWE wouldn't want to push.

    It was annoying that the 1st hr was basically built around getting Roman that Rollins rub

    also Braun is straight heeling it up against Finn

    A better idea would be to give Rollins that Roman push.

    He was alright in backstage interviews. I don't remember him being good or bad in particular on the desk, but pretty sure he was in a 2 man booth just doing play by play most of the time, iirc.

    for as bad as parts of Raw was, I actually enjoyed the last 2 matches. Both matches actually told some story and made each wrestler look stronger win or lose

    Nattie is going to be RAW women champ by end of MiTb. They are really selling this Ronda and Nattie thing hard, she is going to cash in as it looks like Ronda is going to win, or after Ronda wins and she takes her out KO on Sami style in NXT

    it will have to be before the end of the Nia/Rhonda match making it a three way. It wouldn’t make sense to have Rhonda lose to Nia only to have Nattie steal it afterward nor would Vince let Rhonda win and have Nattie shit on her moment. Vince loves moments.

    If it happens, it’s going to be Nia eating a pin from Nattie while Rhonda watches, or better yet, Nattie tapping out Nia with Rhonda’s arm bar that she learned while they were “training together” in front of Rhonda

    I amazed they turned the biggest baby face in the women’s division that quickly. The busted open dude got some explaining to do.

    RAW was largely terrible. I need KO and Rollins on Smackdown

    Vince needs to scrap the 3 man booths, have Coachman do WWE stories like a fake ESPN reporter when they hit Fox Sports and send Byron to TNA as Melron Saxophone.

    Just let Graves solo the color commentary.

    I'm not saying he would do it or would want to but his voice is just synonymous with big sporting events. just think it would be cool. And Joe Buck is actually really funny given the chance.

    Again, not saying he'd be into it, but it would be cool if he did.

    So I guess/hope we'll be getting Clash of the Champions type events in lieu of the smaller ppvs? Otherwise emphasizing tv pretty much sounds like the worst thing ever.
