Almost three hours of "Hyping you to watch Smackdown" and then that main event... yeah.

[kingoftheindies]

made it bout an hour in, and tuned out.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Hunter is learning that trying to do the main show is not as easy as one would hope this time and year and boy does it show. 4.

[DSR]

I give it a "What the f*** was Corey wearing?!" out of 10.

I liked Lita and Becky winning the belts and Trish returning was pretty cool

IYO and Dakota will be fine

[Deleted]

8/10. The show was enjoyable from start to finish. Can't believe I'm saying that about an episode of Raw lmfao. Loved the tag opener, Cody/Gable and the main event was solid. Thank goodness the belts are off Jobber CTRL. The trio are talented alone, but together they're a six-pack of ass.

I hate when people say this about WWE talent that take a big loss, because a lot of the time they aren't fine after the fact, it's like a jinx.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

3 - not a good show.

[RareTradU]

Tried to watch tonight but it seemed like a chore. I ended up tuning out four or five times. The Miz/Rollins and Lesnar/MVP segment was super cringy. A lot seemed off tonight. Like sloppy off. Cool to see Trish and lita again i guess.

People were bringing out their pitchforks and assuming her career was done when Bianca lost the title to Becky in a squash match 2 years ago. There was a huge uproar over it. Look at her now. That’s just one of many examples, just saying

IYO and Dakota will be fine

[tuckerguy]

It's just background noise for me since football's over. I barely paid attention to it, but what I did glance at was some trash.

[XIII]

I only saw the end…but that was some full on embarrassment from Lita. She was out there moving like Christian York.

WWE not looking too hot these days. If the Bloodline angle wasn’t so hot recently they’d probably be getting trashed a lot more.

Yeah and it took an entire movement and social media to get Vince to pivot. Acting like it was WWE playing some sort of 4D chess is misleading at best. That isn't going to happen here. Iyo and Dakota are cooked, for all intents and purposes. And I can't see them being big players going forward as Triple H has made sure to completely screw over any sort of goodwill or momentum they might have had. Especially when you/they decided that Lita (who could barely move and significantly botched all but one of her moves) should be getting a title.

Gave RAW a 1 because that main event was probably the worst main event we'll be getting on a weekly televised show in 2023. It'll take a massive effort to book something worse than what was on RAW tonight. The only other comparison I can make is Austin Theory cashing in on the US title and failing. But at least Triple H got called out for that. Fact of the matter is that Lita looked like absolute garbage tonight, and they made Iyo look even worse, to the point where I don't see her recovering from it without a period of VERY, VERY, VERY STRONG booking for her. Something he has shown he has zero incentive to do as its more likely she's off the Mania card now.

Ok well, agree to disagree

[Mochi Lone Wolf]

4. HHH is only slightly better than Vince at this point.

[chronocross]

I liked the opener with Jimmy/Solo vs. Street Profits and KO doing a run in afterwards.

The segment with Brock/MVP was entertaining and maybe the match won't be too bad if they keep it short with Omos vs. Brock.

After that I tuned out for the rest of the show as it seems like Smackdown is the more important show these days.

[xCompackx]

I dunno, it was fun as a shitposting episode of Raw and also gave me an excuse to draw horror Grimace and Ronald McDonald. I don't know what score that translates to, lol.


So 9 because whatever.

People were bringing out their pitchforks and assuming her career was done when Bianca lost the title to Becky in a squash match 2 years ago. There was a huge uproar over it. Look at her now. That’s just one of many examples, just saying

IYO and Dakota will be fine

Yeah and it took an entire movement and social media to get Vince to pivot. Acting like it was WWE playing some sort of 4D chess is misleading at best. That isn't going to happen here. Iyo and Dakota are cooked, for all intents and purposes. And I can't see them being big players going forward as Triple H has made sure to completely screw over any sort of goodwill or momentum they might have had. Especially when you/they decided that Lita (who could barely move and significantly botched all but one of her moves) should be getting a title.

Gave RAW a 1 because that main event was probably the worst main event we'll be getting on a weekly televised show in 2023. It'll take a massive effort to book something worse than what was on RAW tonight. The only other comparison I can make is Austin Theory cashing in on the US title and failing. But at least Triple H got called out for that. Fact of the matter is that Lita looked like absolute garbage tonight, and they made Iyo look even worse, to the point where I don't see her recovering from it without a period of VERY, VERY, VERY STRONG booking for her. Something he has shown he has zero incentive to do as its more likely she's off the Mania card now.

I think Iyo can recover, though for whatever reason the last couple weeks of WWE booking have made me think that the Fightful article that came out where apparently Triple H has pivoted to saying the wrestlers he's brought back in the last year were brought back for roster depth only kind of feels like a cop out and a pivot to saying "things aren't going like I thought they would with fans.

Hunter is learning that trying to do the main show is not as easy as one would hope this time and year and boy does it show. 4.

I've said it before but I do feel like there's at times a bit of naivety in thinking that just not being Vince and trying to push different people will instantly get them over
