WWE: WWE TV - Raw & Smackdown Part 3

[dahrougem2]

Lol Rock beat the ever living f*** out of Cody

 

[GKJ]

Dwayne definitely saved Wrestlemania

there will be color

Cody has been waiting a long time to finally blade in WWE.

He definitely sporting a crimson mask at Mania

 

[Emperoreddy]

I really didn't expect Roman to feel like the odd one out of place in this Mania build.

Seth is doing just fine, got himself a hot feud. Cody and Rock are doing lots of compelling TV together.

Roman feels like an after thought. Tribal Chief needs to show up for work these last few shows.

Man if there was some way Dustin could get involved at Mania

His preferred work schedule does him no favours here. He feels like a second rate champion at this point because he is hardly around.

 

[The Gongshow]

Holy smokes they are absolutely COOKIN' heading into Mania. They're firing on all cylinders right now with quite a few hot storylines.

Who would have thought after that SD post Rumble that Rock would be the best thing I wrestling leading one of the hottest storylines WWE has had in years.

I can't remember the last time I actually skimmed through a RAW let alone watched most of the promos.

I wasn't sold on Drew vs Seth but Punk makes it very interesting. Beck vs Rhea should hopefully be a brawl

Yeah...who was it that said Rock isn't carrying this feud?? I mean...come on.

 

[MAHJ71]

Goldberg probably cried himself to sleep after seeing Jey use the spear on Nakamura last night.

 

[The Gongshow]

So we all just assumed Rock would screw over Roman and reveal he and Cody were working together, but their fued seems too personal and with the bloody belt to mama Rhodes thing I can't see them just being like "we got you Roman! We really had to make it look believable!" The beat down was pretty brutal.

Plus Cody vs Rock at Rumble (since Rock isn't available for SummerSlam) is a great 1 of 1 fued/match that they should go with. Keep Rock heel until he loses to a returning face Roman at WM41

I wouldn't put it passed them to still go with that angle, but who knows, this whole storyline has been one big pivot that has paid dividends. You're probably right though, it's farfetched to have Rock and Cody working together now.

There is going to be a swerve somewhere, maybe Rock inadvertently screws Roman, costing him the title, or a Seth turn? We'll see, it's 100% going to be overbooked.

 

[Sheppy]

That was probably the best RAW I can actually remember watching. Looks like the end of the PG era.

I still can't handle them muting out the fans, though. That's a joke. The holy shit chants as Rock & Cody were facing off getting muted is f***ing lame. It just takes away from the moment. This shit can't get on Netflix fast enough.

I don't think Seth or The Rock will turn. Seth wants time off after Mania, I think. Wouldn't make much sense for Seth to turn and then f*** off for months. Just return a heel instead.

There was a little Easter egg at the end. The production truck was visible and the only two faces you could see on it were Stone Cold and John Cena. Someone on X picked up on this and it makes sense.

They've put alot of time into the Cody and Rock stuff. Rock returning at the end of SummerSlam for a Cody confrontation could be good. Cody vs Rock should happen, but they may not want Rock losing before being pinned by Roman at WM41.

Rock is winning night 1 to keep him strong till Mania 41

Night 2 is def setting up for the Avengers Endgame moment. I'm fine with that as long as no one attacks Roman. Eie out al the interference and then have a panicked Roman fight Cody for another 5 minutes then have Cody pin him clean. It can be overbooked but still have the clean finish

 

[TD Charlie]

That was a great show. Top to bottom. The promos all felt raw and real, and added to the hype of Mania. The finish to the show of course, perfection

Can't remember the last time a show ended with something like that where you're looking forward to the next one.

This is the first Mania in a while that I'm legit hyped for the entire card. Alot of really good storylines right now

 

[Sheppy]

Just please, please don't have the mute button working overdrive on the RAW after Wrestlemania

It was bordering on complete shock and awe for me with how compelling it was. The Rocks presence came through the screen in such a profound way. It wasn’t anything groundbreaking in terms of the actual physicality of it, but the intensity of The Rock and the close up camera shots were so f***ing good.

Everything about that final segment was so different from how they normally end a show. For a few minutes it didn’t feel like a pro wrestling show at all. One of the best segments, and overall Raws in a very very long time.

Just please, please don't have the mute button working overdrive on the RAW after Wrestlemania

Agreed. That part was a buzzkill. Let the crowds hype come alive. It adds so much to the show. Censoring the F bomb by the rock at the end I’m ok with.

 

[Sheppy]

Yeah, at the end of the day that was a f***ing awesome RAW.

Why can't they all be like that? Or even 1/4 of them.

 

[Unholy Diver]

I thought for sure we were going to see an attempted murder and have Rock toss Cody over the wall into the loading dock area below

Wouldn't be surprised. Apparently we need Super Cody.

 

[sansabri]

the most electrifying man to commit attempted manslaughter

 

[BostonBob]

Speaking of the Rock - he's going to start shooting a film called The Smashing Machine in Vancouver in late May. The film is about former UFC fighter Mark Kerr.

 

[Fro]

Busted open made a comment about seth when he was in gorilla with jey last night...did anyone catch anything?

Interesting now that I got home and found the clip
