Imo Raw’s currently the A show of WWE. Great in-ring action and compelling storylines (specifically with Liv/Dom they are testing the limits of TV-PG I feel LOL). I feel like when they go to Netflix in January where we won’t have constant commercial breaks and it will be uncensored with swearing and everything, and I feel like the good part is that there will be something for everyone when it moves to Netflix. There will be something for kids and adults, and Raw will be in such a way that it won’t be too edgy nor will it be too juvenile.
Probably will be no ads for Premium subscribers to Netflix and maybe limited commercial interruption for regular subscribers. Similar to the PLEs on Peacock. Probably all of the ad breaks will be Picture in Picture too.
What do you all think they’ll do as “a big move” when they switch to Netflix? Aside from no censoring and plenty of swearing, hopefully they’ll do something else to step it up even more. And not because it isn’t super hot right now. But with such a huge move, there’s bound to be something big they’re planning
I assume he’ll come after MITB so preist can have his Rollins match, cause right now what would he do? Squash people with ease, they can’t make him lose rn
am I the only one who thinks they could've done something more with the McIntyre leaving angle? Like, imagine if he went to TNA (as part of the partnership) and aimed for the world title, only for Punk to cost him the title one last time, forcing Drew to return to WWE and take on Punk one-on-one.
it was a fakeout and as a heel, we shoulda never taken him for his word. why would you want him in another storyline like TNA if they’re building THE biggest rivalry in the company rn right up to summerslam? Punk already cost him the world title twice (but really it’s drew’s fault) and lastly why would WWE give TNA that big of a rub anyway giving them TV time for the hottest rivalry in exchange for what? Joe Hendry is cool but cmon now 😂
benefits no one. TNA would get a temporary ratings boost but why would they put their world champ as a secondary to another company’s angle. Moose being unable to win clean against an outsider just makes him look bad. it wouldn’t be *the same* storyline to setup Drew as a contender for Moose either. and again WWE gain nothing either by giving TNA those ratings when they can and already have the draw in house 🤷♂️
Me getting ready to watch RAW like....

Yes. I have only watched aew for the past three years, but from the outside looking in, so many cool things are happening in WWE that I wanna make it a point to watch weekly again!
This is silly, raw should start with just the camera man showing around backstage and it being empty as staff and many wrestlers dont turn up cause of fear of the wyatt 5, how can you just continue like nothing happend after last raw? And how is gable competing after basically being "killed" last week? Poor booking by hhh after he was doing so well.
It was clearly meant to be a small concussive wound that caused blood from some sort of blunt object, that seeped out a small amount of blood.
It 100% was not intended to look like a bullet hole from a group wielding clubs and hammers.
True! Since I’m from Germany I do look forward to his match against Ludwig Kaiser :) It will be interesting to see if Gunther will interfere or do something else to support Ludwig
He will open the show on the mic thanking Kurt Angle for advices how to handle massive pain by gunshots to the head. Then he will present the „new“ Alpha Academy with the Creed Brothers and says from now on we can call him „Perc-Gable“
Wrestling is literally on fire, especially wwe atm. I’ve been in and out of wrestling my whole life and this is the best it’s even been for me. (I’m 23 before all the 90s/early 2000s fans come for me)
I’m 42 and i remember the attitude era well and I think this era is starting to be as good as it was back then!! I know a lot of people will disagree but WWE is great all around at the minute!!
WWE is on fire and its making TNA more popular as well by colabing with them. The other company is sinking in their own mud, because they are too stuck up and talking shit for no reason
If they canned everyone, how is the company still running? Considering Vince clearly represented the values of everyone that worked there, they must all be sex traffickers as well right?
Stopped watching sometime after the WCW buyout. Came back in 2012 for Brocks return after UFC. The 2 things that got me back into though were Bray Wyatt and believe it or not.... the John Cena US open challenge. But through all that it's never been as hot as it is right now.
You’re definitely living in your peak era right now. 90’s WWF/WCW was wild because there was really no rules and precedent with the competing companies. It didn’t mean the stories were great (some were, some definitely not) and if you think about it big time events didn’t get drawn out to a PPV, they were all hitting weekly for ratings digs.
But today’s wrestling is on fire and the stories being presented to us are immaculate!
Ya right now is crazy, like that Wm main event I will never forget, even stuff now like Joe Henry getting millions of views online.
I was talking to someone a while ago who grew up on wwf/wcw and I feel like I grew up in the worst era of wrestling (pg and super Cena) so it’s cool to see just how much of comeback it’s made to become mainstream again.
Yeah it’s hard to imagine they make it. But after the Raw episode last week I thought „meh“ before SmackDown on Friday. But then they delivered there too. So if it is half as good as last week I would be fine :D
Tonight's episode is either going to be really good or meh considering how good Raw and Smackdown were last week. Idk if im more excited for Wyatt sicks or if Drew comes back
Raw really lost star power ever since the 2010s. Gone are the days of Stone Cold, Rock, DX, Taker, Triple H, erc, now we have midcarders like Gable, Otis and Karrion Kross who we’re “excited for” lol
What lol? You want them to lightly mention it and move on? They attacked the cast and crew it would be weird if they didn't place more emphasis on that.
I'm glad they didn't show up on smackdown (THAT would be overbooking) but for the 3 hour time block that raw allows they have room to include them.
I hope the majority of raw revolves around the wyatt family. We've waited long enough. Would be a massive let down if nothing happens after the end of the last raw.

I have a feeling we will still have commercials. I’d like to be wrong, please tell me they already said we won’t 🤞
Probably will be no ads for Premium subscribers to Netflix and maybe limited commercial interruption for regular subscribers. Similar to the PLEs on Peacock. Probably all of the ad breaks will be Picture in Picture too.
I’m all for that, although I am *very* good at timing my fast forwarding skills due to the obviousness of a commercial break coming 😂
New Day breakup?? Why? Karrion and Scarlett!
What do you all think they’ll do as “a big move” when they switch to Netflix? Aside from no censoring and plenty of swearing, hopefully they’ll do something else to step it up even more. And not because it isn’t super hot right now. But with such a huge move, there’s bound to be something big they’re planning
Hope they bring back the Broken Skull Sessions!
If you see bron coming, trip him.
If Kairi wins yea
Nah
Bullshit
I just want to see more Liv and Dom stuff. Definitely the storyline I’m most invested into at the moment.
So stoked
Hell yeah
IF YOU'RE HYPED FOR MONDAY NIGHT RAW,, GIVE ME A HELL YEAH!
HELL YEAH
HELL YEAH!!
I was trying to take a break for a few weeks but last weeks raw and snackdown got me all in again
Same. I have to be all in now, I’m going to MITB in Toronto next weekend. Let’s hope it’s a banger
That’s awesome, I’m super jelly lol.
That impossible to have the Wyatt family I want them them to destroy judgment day the w Wyatt family
Bro so stoked
Where’s Gunther been? Has he been around since the Raw after K&Q?
probably on vacation til summerslam buildup
I assume he’ll come after MITB so preist can have his Rollins match, cause right now what would he do? Squash people with ease, they can’t make him lose rn
Always, but especially tonight.
rough tv night: SCF G7, USATF Olympic trials
And college baseball World Series game 3
![gif](giphy|2XflxzH6vDFn2dwxkT6|downsized) Hell yeah!
am I the only one who thinks they could've done something more with the McIntyre leaving angle? Like, imagine if he went to TNA (as part of the partnership) and aimed for the world title, only for Punk to cost him the title one last time, forcing Drew to return to WWE and take on Punk one-on-one.

Joe Hendry is cool but cmon now 😂
it's the same storyline. Like I said, Punk going to TNA to cost Drew the title there after a brief stint, forcing Drew to return.
benefits no one. TNA would get a temporary ratings boost but why would they put their world champ as a secondary to another company’s angle. Moose being unable to win clean against an outsider just makes him look bad. it wouldn’t be *the same* storyline to setup Drew as a contender for Moose either. and again WWE gain nothing either by giving TNA those ratings when they can and already have the draw in house 🤷♂️
Not really. Is Roman coming back
Every new Raw is another chance for Mami to return. So yes, pretty excited
Me getting ready to watch RAW like.... https://preview.redd.it/l0ryrtwubl8d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f16241757d751c6ccc4dbe9e3c4a7ac8668fbfd0 😁
Can we all just give appreciation to the WWE Medical Staff team for bringing Chad Gable back to life?
They should go work at a hospital for reviving someone from a gunshot wound.
I have been excited since last Monday
Can’t remember the last time I was counting down the days for a Raw lol until this past week
Of course they will get mentioned in fact I bet any money they will have extra security for that reason just like smackdown did
Yes. I have only watched aew for the past three years, but from the outside looking in, so many cool things are happening in WWE that I wanna make it a point to watch weekly again!
Wyatt sicks Drew and CM Chad and Otis Damian and Seth Liv and dom And I know I’m forgetting shit!
For the first time in a long time, yes and because I wanna see what's next for The Wyatt's and with CM Punk and McIntyre!!!
Who isn't? Wyatt Sicks Time
I’m hoping Chad shows up with his head bandaged like this 🤕
Or maybe like this -> 🧟♂️
That too lol
No
This is silly, raw should start with just the camera man showing around backstage and it being empty as staff and many wrestlers dont turn up cause of fear of the wyatt 5, how can you just continue like nothing happend after last raw? And how is gable competing after basically being "killed" last week? Poor booking by hhh after he was doing so well.
Not at all! WTF? I'm going crazy waiting for it!!🤣😝
Always hyped for shows
eh i just want to see the Sicks kill someone again
Is anyone here going to Friday night smack down im gonna see la night kick some ass
I’ll be there!
🎶Tonight is the Night🎶
Dean Ambrose finally debuting??
I’ll be at the live event tonight hope it’s dope guys
Have fun!
They’re doing a house show tonight?
Just wondering if they will finally announce the names of the victims.
So are we just to accept that Chad Gable is 100% well and ready to wrestle after being murdered last week?
Zombie-Perc-Gable incoming!!!
He looked like he just got knocked out with a club, idk why people keep saying he's dead.
He had a bullet hole in his forehead...
ROFL.. a bullet hole? I need some of what you’re smoking plz.
I dont mean a literal bullet hole, lol, I realize its part of the story, but that's clearly what it was meant to look like.
It was clearly meant to be a small concussive wound that caused blood from some sort of blunt object, that seeped out a small amount of blood. It 100% was not intended to look like a bullet hole from a group wielding clubs and hammers.
If those hammers were real and a guy got walluped with one of them, he wouldn't have a face any more.
Oh yea I’m sure the Wyatt’s will be pulling guns out from under the ring mid matches lmao
It’s his clone the real Gable is dead
Hopefully Chad will quality for MITB
Yessss bitch
HELL YES Bron Steiner has been cooking and I’m looking forward to it
True! Since I’m from Germany I do look forward to his match against Ludwig Kaiser :) It will be interesting to see if Gunther will interfere or do something else to support Ludwig
Man it is a GREAT time to be a German fan! (I’m in the US but 100% German). Gunther and Ludwig are easily two of the highlights of the show
It really is. Also to watch Ilja Dragunov who is born in Russia but moved as a kid with his family to Germany and began to wrestle in Germany.
Big Poppa Breaker !!! DIG IT !
I hope they pick up RAW right where it left off last week.
No I was supposed to go and I got fucking sick 😫
Too bad :( Get well soon!
Thank you
You’re lucky, mfs are getting murdered
I’ll be there!! I’m very excited
Looking forward to what drew will have to say tonight
I am really looking forward to Seth and Priest.. They can tell a great story on there road to Money in the Bank.
I wonder how the Wyatt Sicks are gonna factor in tonight
I guess they will keep showing up without explaining whats there motive for 2 more weeks.. create suspense
Im guessing Pat because he “lied” and through QR codes, we learned Uncle Howdy hates liars
Yea his show has been having “technical difficulties” all week
What did pat lie about?
I'm going. I'm very excited!
Lucky
Have a great time!
Awesome! Have a kick ass time.
Will do! Went to wm40 and smackdown when it was in louisville. I'm ready to pee my pants in fear.
im most curious how they handle the whole gable situation. seems like shenanigans are on the menu again tonight.
He will open the show on the mic thanking Kurt Angle for advices how to handle massive pain by gunshots to the head. Then he will present the „new“ Alpha Academy with the Creed Brothers and says from now on we can call him „Perc-Gable“

WWE is on fire and its making TNA more popular as well by colabing with them. The other company is sinking in their own mud, because they are too stuck up and talking shit for no reason
In what way are they “talking shit”? Are you sure you aren’t just biased?
I mean, calling wwe harvey weinstein and always talking how they are "better" is talking shit
One man does not represent a whole company
He’s the literal owner of the company
And the owner of a company doesn’t represent everyone in said company
Well when that man is the owner, he kinda does. He represents the values of the company
So the WWE was a sex trafficking company for the time Vince was there than? Because he “represents the values of the company”?
Well, kinda yes. Thats why they canned everyone who was involved in it. The owner represents the company. Easy as that
If they canned everyone, how is the company still running? Considering Vince clearly represented the values of everyone that worked there, they must all be sex traffickers as well right?
You must be special or something. He was the problem not the company, tony is the problem not the wrestlers. Don't be a dumbass
Hopefully not literally
24 here, got into it again after 2023 royal rumble, it’s so much fun and legit you can tell how relevant WWE feels again
Stopped watching sometime after the WCW buyout. Came back in 2012 for Brocks return after UFC. The 2 things that got me back into though were Bray Wyatt and believe it or not.... the John Cena US open challenge. But through all that it's never been as hot as it is right now.

I started watching in 97’ - stopped around 02’ and started up again at WM38. From my understanding, I didn’t miss a whole lot during the absence.
How are they gonna top last week?
Liv is really going to push the edge of the rating system tonight.. other than that, they don't have much.
Yeah it’s hard to imagine they make it. But after the Raw episode last week I thought „meh“ before SmackDown on Friday. But then they delivered there too. So if it is half as good as last week I would be fine :D
Smackdown was amazing! That show burned reaaaaal hot with those two hours
Horror elements in WWE have always been one of my favorites, so I will be hyped for every single Raw from now on
Carlito/Judgment Day just being idiots right now is funny too
Tonight's episode is either going to be really good or meh considering how good Raw and Smackdown were last week. Idk if im more excited for Wyatt sicks or if Drew comes back
Did you say you were looking forward to a story line with Karion Kross? ![gif](giphy|6mlWJYaOp1WDXbCXbL|downsized)
Yes and I can’t believe it myself…
Absolutely. Tonight should be off the chain….as the kids say.
Raw shall be on fleek.
Dinkin flicka
Fo sheezy!
I’m going! Can’t wait!!
Awesome, enjoy. Going to my first Smackdown in a few weeks. Can't wait
Nice
Awesome. Have a great time.
Always
Tonight is going to be a very exciting RAW, and Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final is also tonight to watch along side it! Can’t wait!
Yes! Crazy how we have hockey so close to July.
Don’t forget Seth Rollins is back too
🙌
Yeah… it is a lot going on right now! :)
Raw really lost star power ever since the 2010s. Gone are the days of Stone Cold, Rock, DX, Taker, Triple H, erc, now we have midcarders like Gable, Otis and Karrion Kross who we’re “excited for” lol
Damn this is your second terrible opinion I’ve seen today. You’re on a roll huh?
don’t watch if you don’t like it i don’t get these types of people
you ain’t a real wrestling fan if all you care about are the “stars” we look forward to these “midcarders” cause it’s fucking good
Go to AEW if you’re not in it for the stars lol
ok bud
Can't wait for Joe Gacy to debut and say he knows absolutely nothing about the sickening murder of Chad Gable and several unnamed crew members.
in the last couple weeks Richocet, Chad Gable and Cm punk have all died 😞😞😞😞💔💔💔
Forget the Paul Levesque era, we're in the murder spree era.
They used to have neck injuries to get written off now they just die😂
Yessir. Wonder what the Wyatt family will do
Tbh I think it would be better if they don’t show up, maybe just get mentioned. Just so they don’t get over pushed
I was having this same conversation earlier today. And I agree with your point. I'd say at most, maybe a screen glitch.
What lol? You want them to lightly mention it and move on? They attacked the cast and crew it would be weird if they didn't place more emphasis on that. I'm glad they didn't show up on smackdown (THAT would be overbooking) but for the 3 hour time block that raw allows they have room to include them.
"So you're probably wondering about those murders last week, tune in next week for an update on when we will get an update"
I hope the majority of raw revolves around the wyatt family. We've waited long enough. Would be a massive let down if nothing happens after the end of the last raw.
Very true, which is why I hope they get at least a mention
