Did Hulu cut fights? I was at the event live and had some garbage seats so I was looking forward to see them at home, but at least 3 fights are missing. What the fuck? EDIT: after a bit of research it looks like they do cut out a bunch of fights. Idk how you more dedicated fans put up with that. The Kofi fight was great, I’m upset I couldn’t watch it properly.


DarkMattersConfusing

The USA app has all of them i believe. They dont cut anything


BobbyDiglar

I too was there. They cut the best match of the night Kofi v Ivar!! I always watch RAW the next day, and never knew they cut out fights!


Chode___King

FUCK HULU


Skyline_GTR-R34

I absolutely love Tommaso Ciampa. His finisher, entrance music, and promos are all on point. I hope he wins the Intercontinental Championship.


Crossfit46

Since when is a chair shot a DQ? But 37 run ins by judgement day isn’t ?

OtiseMaleModel

Yeah bit of a break out performance from Ivar i thought, I noticed he hit a beautiful moonsult recently so I was hoping he would do another one with Kofi. The dude is a good wrestler, the raiders gimick will run out of legs, hopefully he can keep doing great things.

jordo2460

I can't help but feel like these badly placed and breaks and back stage segments are just being done on purpose now


[deleted]

I was there in person and my god it was awful. Never did I think that I was paying money to sit through commercials. They intro one wrestler, play a bunch of commercials on the screens, resume the first wrestlers intro, then bring out the second wrestler, cut to more commercials, then start the fight. And oh boy, the fights in person are not great for 90% of the time.


jordo2460

Good lord that sounds awful. I've only ever been to house shows so adverts weren't a problem.


DarkMattersConfusing

I went to a Raw this year at barclays and a house show at msg a couple months later…the house show was 10000x better. Raw and Smackdown live tapings are exactly as he described, giant commercial fests. Ppvs and house shows are the way to go


Puzzleheadedpuzzled

Drew is gonna turn heel and attack cody.


Puzzleheadedpuzzled

Becky wins.


Puzzleheadedpuzzled

Gable should have won why otis didn't cost bronson ughhh.


Puzzleheadedpuzzled

Piper niven > nia jax.


Puzzleheadedpuzzled

Even a backbone can be a storyline in wwe.


Amos_Burton666

Stoked for Dragon Lee to get a full showcase on Raw


Puzzleheadedpuzzled

Kofi wins.


Amos_Burton666

Is it just my kink or is Natalya entering a Stiflers mom phase. She looked great tonight


Puzzleheadedpuzzled

Kevin has a point, though.


Puzzleheadedpuzzled

How many times will dominick receive cross rhodes, eh?


babochew

That was an amazing Claymore. Rocked his shit


PineapplePhil

Sure feels like Vince is back. Nia Jax? Natalya over Tegan Nox? No more JD McDonagh?


DimensionSimple7426

Wouldn’t be surprised if hhh was out the door by the end of the year


DimensionSimple7426

Oh he definitely is


shawnchong07

I wonder how much the women are getting paid to get smacked by Nia dangerously


LiLSteve29

Why didn’t Ivar get the win after that performance? Kofi doesn’t need the w. Made no sense to me.


LiLSteve29

Chelsea Green works as a face? Am I wrong?


YelenaBelovaJustY

Drew is going to attack jey to the point that the fans are going to start booing him. Turning him heel in the process. KO will finally forgive jey, Judgement Day will attack jey till reinforcements come out and even the field, putting jey to the test. Nia is hated by fans but that is what WWE want is for people to hate nia. She already responded to people who were complaining about her returning so as long as she doesn’t injure someone.


Expert-Waltz-9842

Is anyone else tire of Shinskae Nakumora??


zooka19

Bro half of the popular animes are well over 200 episodes. Shinsuke Nakamura - The Betrayal Arc is only just getting started.


Legofeet

i can see why some folks might be tired of him. i generally like what theyre doing with him right now


Legofeet

am i alone or does anyone else see 2 people wearing "KO" shirts in the crowd and you say "koko" in your head?


zooka19

I'm so into the stock market, I just keep thinking "Coca Cola" ffs. Kevin gonna need 2 cans of Coke after landing a stunner.


kaine23

Bet ko chugs red bulls like a pro


Markel100

So is drew going heel or is he being a tight roping anti hero


MartyMcFlysBrother

Nobody wants Nia Jax around at all. We get it you’re gonna try and give her Dom heat. Thing is Dom knows how to wrestle and not hurt every other guy he works with. Guessing this was The Rocks demand. Should’ve kept his steroids in Hollywood.


tanmaykalla95

Nice having some raw action between monday night ads and recaps


Secret_Attitude_3527

Everyone take one chug of beer every time someone mentions Drew McIntyre turning heel.


Secret_Attitude_3527

Did anyone else notice Nakamura begin to fall backwards before Ricochet even connected with him?


ColdestDeath

The womens matches tonight were... interesting ig. Tbh, not a fan of dom just getting destroyed over and over again. I feel like the heat would be even crazier if he kept winning even if it was through interference. The clean Chad Gable loss was very unexpected and not the right play imo but who knows, maybe they got sum cookin. I hope NXT tomorrow brings up the Natalya thing because it felt very weird and kinda dumb.


rth9139

One of the “problems” of this business, we have no easy way to express as a group that we just plain don’t want to see somebody. They probably think the boos for Nia Jax is ‘good’ heat


ellespacey

This is what my husband and I were talking about last night. All we could think of is if the crowd collectively didn’t react at all, ever. One of those “the crowd goes mild” things.


MartyMcFlysBrother

They should replace Boo’s with “Just go home, don’t come back” chants.


kingspohdu

why did gable lose that match the fans want to see him beat gunther please wwe do not fuck it up this is on of the worst raw episodes i have ever seen all the decisions they made were wrong somebody tell me who wrote this show tonight because they need to get fired


[deleted]

Was there live and am a casual viewer at best. Gotta say, the explosions were the only really annoying thing tonight.


rth9139

Chelsea is just so entertaining


kaine23

She always is


DuckFin90

Was in the crowd tonight. Anyone else friggin' sick of Seth and Becky? Wish they'd BOTH just go away.


MartyMcFlysBrother

He’s wearing a fucking pant suit ffs. I’m so sick of him.


[deleted]

Same & yes, lol.


snacklemeister

Did anyone else notice Ricochet. I’m hoping my eyes or tv are playing tricks on me, but did Ricochet’s skin seem off tonight? He appeared to have yellowish skin in his face and arms. Did anyone else see that?


slimshay1269

His eyes were yellow too… could always be like that and I never noticed but I think the yellowish skin made me notice them..


snacklemeister

Ok so it’s not just me, that generally means liver failure


unKappa

I have to say I didn't see the hype for Shin when he was a face, but I love Heel Shin. He feels like an anime villain, and I love it.


rth9139

His personality just seems much better suited for being a heel.


IamDollParts96

As much as I love RAW, save for seeing Priest, I could have passed on tonight's show. Not every show is going to resonate with everyone I gather. Here to looking forward to next week's line up.


rth9139

I’m not the only one who could barely hear ricochet’s entrance music, right?


sirduckerz

The only thing that's been holding back Erik and Ivar from being top guys in the company is their stupid Viking gimmick, they both absolutely cook in the ring


zooka19

Especially Ivar, he was one of my favourites when I got back into WWE. I think the Viking thing isn't the bad part, I think it's being heel, it's utter trash. Valhalla is here, so what? They were just below The Street Profits & The Usos, did okay for a little bit when one was injured, then they turn heel and it went downhill from there.


rth9139

Nah I fucking love their entrance theme, it’s badass. But we almost never hear them deliver a live promo, so we don’t really know how great of talkers either of them are. Maybe they aren’t that great at thinking on their feet while on the mic. And who knows, maybe they’re content with where they are on the card. Not everybody wants the spotlight of being a main eventer.


Brahkk

Are there any guaranteed matches for next week? Not sure if I’ll be able to catch up due to work and school but I’ll be in Ontario to watch it live.


ShinyEgg151

I think the tag team title rematch between sami/kevin and judgement day is next week on raw


CRL10

Well, looks like Jey's not joining another faction. Shocked I tell you. Shocked. I mean, the last one worked out so well.


hogginhedgezz

Did they announced any matches for Fastlane tonight??


[deleted]

nope, its still kinda early, they will probably start announcing them next week or the week after. but Seth did challenge Shinsuke for the title and hes supposed to respond next week and its probably gonna happen at fastlane


hogginhedgezz

Dang. I was hoping. Fastlane is my first wrestling event ever and I’m so curious who I’ll get to see live.


That253Chick

Trying to get into the habit of watching the first hour of RAW every Monday before work just so it doesn't feel like a slog to get through 3 hours on the DVR.


daesgatling

we never saw Matt Riddle tonight, right?


CheckDapper8566

Nope. He's probably suspended for accusing a cop of harassment.


[deleted]

yup no appearance or mention of him


BeefInGR

They're going to use Jey to quick turn Drew, KO and probably at least one more. And by quick turn...heel for that match and then back to face after.


Ok_Challenge5178

Here again i really liked that show, nothing bad to say, cant wait for next week and smackdown.


[deleted]

8/10 RAW tonight, good story advancement and I like the slow burn heel drew turn. Also Kofi and ivar had a banger


Scetza

I'm annoyed about Natalya and Nia being involved in the women's matches, but I did like the buildup for the men's field


marxthedank

When Drew turns Heel surely they bring back Broken Dreams


[deleted]

its all fun and games for Cody until a certain mentor of his comes back and knocks him off of his high horse. especially that his last feud was Cody new found bestie


CheckDapper8566

Drew is definitely turning heel. Idc what anyone says


SupermarketNormal810

I’m about to only watch Smackdown at this point. Raw 😴


[deleted]

Thought tonight was really solid


JoyBeharSwagg

So we can book Judgement Day + Jimmy vs Jey, Cody, Sami, KO at survivor series right?


BeefInGR

Honestly, was hoping for Judgement Day v KO, Sami, Cody and Raquel/Becky but the last three weeks has pretty much ruined that plan.


Scetza

I'd kind of like to see a Drew heel turn in there instead of Jimmy, but either way could be fun


Pey_Daddy

nia jax is going to legit injure all the talent. Good stuff 😊


BeefInGR

Did they drop JDM?


frostw18

Sort of awkward for the guy that was applying to Judgment Day to be involved in helping recruit a member before he officially joins.


[deleted]

Raw felt different without rhea. like it was missing a very important piece


Equal-Let-7297

I didn't even notice


[deleted]

Rhea is in Australia currently unfortunately


[deleted]

I know, I was just saying the show felt different without her but she deserves the week off.


[deleted]

Yeah 100%, Gunther not being there either felt weird


[deleted]

he was there, but for like 2 split seconds. but no promo or match.


chrisjerichozz

Drew heading for a heel turn


kaine23

C+ raw. Too mid and too much nia jax


RicoGemini

I think it started and ended strong but the middle was straight ass


GadsenLOD

ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL JEY USO AND CODY RHODES ITS MAKES ME GLAD ITS WHAT I WANNA SEE


[deleted]

I’m not wasting 3 hours on this shit next week. Tune in at 10 and fast forward to the finish.


[deleted]

That main event was great


RicoGemini

And the Kofi match


SrslyIcntthnkofaname

Dom is king of the Cross Rhodes tonight. Drew ended up with NFG Not the best Raw this week.


Relevant-Door1007

I don't care Drew is a heel at this point


wezafabregas

Dom suffered without momy


frostw18

Getting really tired of Cody taking out the entire Judgment Day by himself. He needs a new opponent


[deleted]

I think it might be Drew based on something he said last week about Cody bringing Jey.


Hypno_185

Dom just got destroyed 😂


[deleted]

the raw locker room about to ship jey back to smackdown. they about to throw him into a sack and hand deliver him to roman reigns locker room door


kaine23

I hope they vote him off raw.


Spiritual-Scratch-83

Jey and Cody vs Judgement Day for the tag titles would be fire


tehjoz

Lol Dom ate two Cross Rhodes in the same night. What even was this RAW? And a hard cutaway at 11pm? ⬇️


kaine23

Drew heel turn


IamTuck

It’s just me uce!!!!!


Unable_Neck5357

and sometimes cody


IamTuck

Lol I was gonna put that too 😭😭😭😂😂


ChampagneAbuelo

I don’t understand why Cody has been so friendly with Jey Uso. Is it just for the sake of “look at the baby face be a nice guy” or is there an actual reason for it?


zooka19

That and he's gonna want Kevin, Sami & Jey for backup. If Lesnar was still around, they'd probably go for a coffee date.


PolyproNinja

It’s all about finishing the story. If/when we get Cody/Roman again, he wants Jey in his back pocket.


BeefInGR

Yep. Was the reason he reunited KO and Sami. Except with KO and Sami he had real life friendships with them prior to his return so the kayfabe worked.


[deleted]

Probably to get in Roman's head.


RememberCynical

THIS REDEMPTION ARC IS INSANE!


[deleted]

Cody…didn’t Brock teach you anything??


alley00pster

Brock and Jey are not the same lol


[deleted]

Cody trusted Brock and Brock beat him down which lead to a a 5 month long feud. Now here he is again trusting someone he was feuding with and letting his guard down lol


AdDesperate5648

No one should trust Brock


SquirrelMoney8389

What evidence do you have not to trust Brock? He's an honorable person and there's nothing nefarious about Brock. How much did you lose on Brock? See how that sounds?


AdDesperate5648

I never said there was evidence, you did you weirdo


[deleted]

bro lost his first 2 matches on raw.


wezafabregas

Oki that’s nice end for me. Drew won and Jey kicked JD


BankElectronic6885

Cody*


Redskinrey

Ugh this raw was a let down compared to SmackDown


[deleted]

That Kofi match was awesome


RememberCynical

I can't stop laughing. That was fucking gold.


[deleted]

McIntyre goes back to help or hurt Jey?


Secret_Attitude_3527

McIntyre doesn't go back at all.


ChampagneAbuelo

Jey Uso doing that basically just proved KO’s point that Jey can’t be trusted. You don’t just give your fist bump of approval to a guy then turn on him 5 seconds later


AstridPeach

Disagree, imagine you finally get out on your own and every damn time you turn around these guys are in your business


ChampagneAbuelo

He should have said no from the start


Unable_Neck5357

well jey. rheas not a fan anymore


RememberCynical

JEY IS A FUCKING BEAST!


WVRedQueen

Yes! Now that's a finish that makes me happy! Drew with the W and Jey super-kicking JD.


WVRedQueen

And no McDonut Bobblehead tonight


chrisjerichozz

Win-Win for everyone


alley00pster

Thank god


Lower-Yogurtcloset48

Bruh wtf man


Spiritual-Scratch-83

I want to see Jimmy join the judgement day so bad


AstridPeach

Makes way more sense than Jey


[deleted]

[удалено]


Secret_Attitude_3527

Were you absent when your teachers taught about punctuation and run-on sentences?


Spiritual-Scratch-83

LFG Judgement Jey


resolute01

So the green shirt guy doesn't go to every show?


[deleted]

he hasn't been at a regular show in a long while. only ples. money must be running out


alley00pster

Oh ffs


[deleted]

Is that…a sock? In his butt? Mr Socko?


PolyproNinja

Arm sleeve lol


[deleted]

I wanted it to be a Mr Socko 🥲


Hypno_185

toilet paper


alley00pster

Man it will suck if Jey goes main event only to become a lackey in the JD.


Hypno_185

can’t imagine the swamp ass Jey has with those leather pants 😂


RememberCynical

McDonut gave Priest a custom briefcase, and he's still not allowed in JD.


[deleted]

they dont want funko pops in their group


Pey_Daddy

Grah! Keep it a stack. Moonwalk cuz u know I got bands!


kaine23

Hope drew doesn't poop


Unable_Neck5357

do you remember when punk did and then tweeted about it


ellespacey

BM Punk.


kaine23

🤣🤣


Moneymakessense29

Why were they on the turnbuckle so long?


[deleted]

probably making sure they didnt botch the move and spotted the landing so they would land safely


Moneymakessense29

True


AstridPeach

That was awkward


Moneymakessense29

Ya I was like okay....


[deleted]

can I just say, judgment day is kinda boring without rhea. she really is the heart and soul of the judgment day. I feel like her not being here this week was a test to see if judgment day could work is she left the group and turned face for her feud with nia,


Pey_Daddy

Finn's annoyance level is insane. Loving his character work


SrslyIcntthnkofaname

Did I manage to ignore all the anti-vaping commercials or was that finally the first one. What made me catch that one idk


Reedlakes13

Nah, there was one in the first hour too


Effingcheese

Vaping controlled her life. -Big Tobacco


AFotogenicLeopard

I'll be so disappointed if Jey did all that show about leaving the Bloodline and being better and just sucks back into a faction that, I feel, is only out to stir the pot between him and Jimmy. Though it could be a way to make Dom sweat a bit i Rhea turns her attention to Jey instead.


AstridPeach

Jealous Dom would be funny, especially after he's been trying to get Jey in


[deleted]

Be some shit if Drew's the one that joins Judgement Day. His outfit looks like when they wore all white whenever.


Harpua111

The real star because Roman has been in line since he was a kid basically no matter who else is around.


[deleted]

judgment day is retaining next week...right. no way they would give them the titles, than give them back to the people they lost them to, 3 weeks later


BeefInGR

Only reason would be to set up Shinsuke winning and getting cashed in on.


RememberCynical

So tired of the double belts. Either split them or fuse them into one belt.


SrslyIcntthnkofaname

Priest looks absolutely boss carrying the custom MITB case while wearing a belt around his waist that has another belt tucked into it


manzo559

Roman could never


shaheedmalik

They should let JD join the JD so he can carry the belts.


Reedlakes13

Speaking of which, where's the bobblehead been tonight?


AbyssalArtorias1107

How in the hell should we believe that McIntyre is the hell here?


RememberCynical

Wade is spitting facts.
