RAW is live from the newly renamed Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland as the new roster settles in post-Draft... and the Universal Champion has some explaining to do.
Last week, Seth Rollins took "Burn It Down" literally, as he somehow found the location of the Firefly Funhouse, attacked Bray Wyatt, and then set the Funhouse on fire. Bray is getting used to having his happy places set alight by babyfaces, I suppose... anyway, Bray might now be on SmackDown, but Rollins still has to defend the Universal Title against The Fiend at REDACTED in a Falls Count Anywhere Match that "Can't Be Stopped For Any Reason"... even if The Fiend takes Seth to a local consulate and (I'll stop there) - anyhoo, what does Sethy Boy have to say for himself tonight?
Speaking of REDACTED, Hulk Hogan has completed his team to take on Ric Flair's team, with Rusev the Cuck, Shorty G, Ricochet and Ali (who's donating his appearance proceeds to charity) joining new team captain Roman Reigns. So far, Ric Flair has Randy Orton, King Corbin, Shinsuke Nakamura and Bobby Lashley, but Flair is on RAW tonight to announce the final team member. Will it be his long lost son Charles Flair with a dodgy disguise?
The Street Profits have appeared in backstage segments on RAW for a few months now, but tonight marks the first time they will be competing on the show, as Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford will have a mystery partner to take on The OC, as AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows had a problem with the former NXT Tag Team Champions last week. Will the Profits get the smoke in their RAW in-ring debut?
Andrade has gone back and forth between RAW and SmackDown since debuting on the main roster, but now he's back on RAW, and in a reset match against Sin Cara, who they somehow found down the back of the sofa. This SHOULD be a routine win for El Idolo, but this is WWE we're talking about...
All this, plus Rey Mysterio back on the show, and a search to find Becky Lynch's next challenger (although Kairi Sane pinned her two weeks ago) - tonight from 8/7c on USA!

Should mention there are a few RAW talents working SmackDown’s Australia tour this week (all the paperwork and stuff would have been locked in before the draft), so don’t be expecting Orton, Charlotte, Asuka/Kairi, Rowan, IIconics and Murphy tonight.

So there's a chance we see LIV tonight??? You never know. Between the hard draft lines, injuries and people working the Australia tour, it's slim pickings otherwise. There's Lynch, Natalya, Morgan and Logan available tonight (plus the managers Vega and Lana), that's it. |

Instead of playing Disco Elysium for first time, I'm probably watching this in small hours... blind lamb that I'm.  e: Street Profits stuff and Flair's last member could be interesting. I'm keeping my hopes up! |

By the way, the shortened version of "Rocket Mortgage Field House" is RoMoFiHo.

I look forward to them completely killing whatever life and illuision is left in the funhouse gimmick when Seth says he found it in a locker room backstage.
just to hammer that nail in even further that all good things on the main roster must die

I look forward to them completely killing whatever life and illuision is left in the funhouse gimmick when Seth says he found it in a locker room backstage. just to hammer that nail in even further that all good things on the main roster must die This is their one (and likely only) opportunity to salvage it by going the other way around as I mentioned in the previous reaction thread to this: They may be able to salvage this, if they go the "Nightmare on Elm Street" route and have the whole scene that played out actually just be a figment of Rollins' imagination. Everything that took place, with Rollins arriving and attacking Bray and then 'burning the Funhouse down,' were all just heroic thoughts since Rollins thinks he's the good guy, but the reality is that Wyatt (and The Fiend) only lets him see what he thinks he wants to see. If FireFly Funhouse comes back as if nothing happened and Bray appears completely unscathed, revealing the truth that it isn't an actual physical place but a manifestation of the sick and twisted mind of Wyatt, and Rollins had simply "let him in" because he thought he was doing the right thing (see his Twitter response for further verification of this thought at least). This leads to a tormented hell that Rollins goes through and has to overcome leading up to Halloween. Normally I would say the WWE isn't capable of this kind of storytelling. But if Wyatt can somehow keep control of this (because it IS his baby), it could potentially be one of the best twists they've had in years. |

Rollins might be getting sent out there to die tonight tbh. Crowd seemed completely through with him last week after that ending... he might be fully in damaged goods territory.

Looks like WWE's all but given up on the idea of Canada tuning in - we'll probably find out tonight whom we now get to blame for our nation's woes.

The highlight of tonight is going to be newLEGACY destroying 2K20, but hopefully Raw doesn't suck either.
