DEAN Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I hate TRIPLE THREAT! matches, but I watched this one, and it was everything I hate about triple threat matches. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Happy to see Alpha Academy take the belts. Thought the triple threat was good. Slightly surprised Doudrop won. Nice to see her take a victory in her first main event on the main roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 AA getting the belts was nice. That's three different partners Gable has won belts with now, so at this rate it's only a matter of time before they're broken up for no reason. The Big E/Seth match was good but the wrong person won Cedric and Shelton deserved better than that. Just another example of them throwing a perfectly good and over angle like THB in the crapper. I was hoping they'd at least attempt to rehab Alexa's gimmick after her last run, but no such luck. I'm fine with Dewdrop being the placeholder challenger before Mania but that match was the shits. Bianca ended up looking great at the end, so of course something stupid happens to fuck her out of winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Thank God there was a turn at the end of that Rhea segment. I kept thinking to myself why the hell they were throwing those two girls out there to die a death in a long, sappy promo in PHILADELPHIA of all places. You could hear the crowd ready to turn on both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I miss crazy, unhinged Nikki from Sanity. Actually I miss Sanity in general.

Eivion Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Sanity was nice from a visual standpoint, but I never really thought they were a good faction. Nikki worked just as well on her own. As did her hubby, and Wolfe worked better with Imperium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The Doudrop push, such that it might be, is still quite amusing - it's like...omg she can actually work, we can have her do all the things we couldn't risk with Nia. Imagine them letting Jax doing the Banzai Drop lol. She should actually just scream Banzai, it might get over. Hopefully we get an A.S.H and Doudrop tag title run at some point.

peterien Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 This company is the shits these days BUT…. This version of Brock is the best version of Brock. Anyone else get the feeling this could be Brocks last run? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Moneghetti Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Brock telling knock-knock jokes is surreal. I'm more interested when he shows some personality. Smiling, doesn't-give-a-shit Brock is a lot more interesting than baby-faced murder machine who never talks. The beard and silly haircut have grown on me too. Maybe having Brock work face is the best use of him. Feuding with Brock hasn't really elevated anyone. If they're just going to use him to beat people up and not put anyone over, letting him maul heels might be the way to go. At least the audience will pop when he suplexes a heel seven times in a row. Pleasantly surprised Alpha Academy won the titles. They seem to mostly be jtts who pick up wins when Vince wants to book a short tv feud with Street Profits and wants us to think that AA aren't jtts. Also surprised Big E dropped a fall to Seth. Clean, I guess? Not surprised Seth won the match since he's working Roman at the Rumble, but surprised they didn't protect Big E. The Rhea-Nikki segment sounds dreadful, but hopefully it gets Rhea back into the singles picture. Given the size and strength difference, the visual of little Nikki beating on Rhea had to be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Watched all the bell-to-bell stuff on Raw for the first time in a long time, and I think my hottest take is that they seem to have toned down on a lot of the cuts and zooming. It's still there, but not as egregious as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, honestly when they split up Sanity it was around the time the split up Riot Squad and a few other teams. I'm used to WWE breaking up teams and factions because of their philosophy of Pushing 1 person they have to be separated from the team or group they've been associated with but WWE have done alot of separating acts for no reason at all not even for an angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 So the Wendy Choo gimmick kinda works! I mean, I feel like it would have gotten over as a meme character on the indies a few years ago. It’s totally dead end as an actual main roster star but I think I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 That AJ Styles match was great! I dug the Kacey and Kayden six man. I dig that Wendy Choo pajama woman. KACEY AND KAYDEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Generally enjoyed the minor segments and promos. Looking forward to Grimes/Hayes. The women's tag was fun. I like the Wendy Choo character. Solo/Boa was far more enjoyable than expected. Styles/Waller was good and probably the best Waller has looked in 2.0.

hammerva Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Has anyone had a weirder shift of character recently than Wendy Choo. Went from a Great Kabuki cosplay to a woman with a sleeping disorder in about 3 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
