It's insane how much wrestling is on TV now throughout the week. I figure it wouldn't kill me to go out for a night and miss like 80 minutes. But it will kill us. Even though we are sworn enemies, I appreciate that J.

That’s the movie where the lady is going to date the nerdy son really really hard, right? Me and the lady gonna watch that when it hits streaming. It's insane how much wrestling is on TV now throughout the week. I figure it wouldn't kill me to go out for a night and miss like 80 minutes. Does it have Thursday evening times for your theater? Mine does. Might help, depending on your schedule. I dunno, lol.

Here are my Raw Thoughts:
My weekly column isn't done yet as I was enjoying a relaxing weekend, but I will have some facts for Raw tonight that I will share. Wow, Finn Balor attacking Seth Rollins. That explains why Rollins' Open Challenge wasn't advertised on WWE. com or on WWE's Twitter page today. It's not going to happen. I love this version of Finn Balor with the continued attack on Seth Rollins. Hilarious promo by The Miz. He's calling himself a winner. He's 0-12-0 on TV & PPV in 2023. Yes, Tommaso Ciampa is back with his old theme. I thought he wasn't going to be back until July. Their match was great. Excellent Judgment Day promo. Finn Balor, Damian Priest, & Rhea Ripley were great with their promos. I love the crowd not letting Dominik Mysterio speak & he quickly had to make that challenge for the 6-Man Tag. I wonder who Cody Rhodes is going to pick. Even the recap of The Usos turning on The Bloodline was awesome. This was the greatest segment in the history of WWE. WWE really needs to get Emmy Awards. BTW, the graphic for their match is outstanding. Hilarious segment with Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn. I can relate to KO 1000%. This will be a fun night. Chelsea Green's Tick-Tok videos were hysterical. Kayden Carter & Katana Chance VS Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green was short but still a good match. It was better than Carter & Chance's Raw debut against Shayna Baszler & Ronda Rousey. Different interview for Cody Rhodes. I like that they did the interview on the ramp instead of Cody just cutting a promo in the ring or Catherine Kelley interviewing him in the back. Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin VS Indus Sher was horrendous. Why can't Alexander & Benjamin use their Free Agent Status & go to NXT? It's better than Los Lotharios going to NXT while being drafted to Raw? Awesome segment. I can just watch Kevin Owens for 3 hours & will call it the greatest episode of Raw of All-Time. Sami Zayn & Matt Riddle were great. Horrible promo by Logan Paul. I don't like that he didn't have to qualify, but he's going to have some amazing spots. The rest of the MITB Participants coming out were good, especially Butch just fighting instead of talking. I don't mind Smackdown guys on Raw to sell MITB. Matt Riddle VS Ludwig Kaiser was incredible. It showed what Kaiser can do as a Singles wrestler since he can only show so much in Tag Team Matches. I like GUNTHER attacking Riddle to continue the build to Riddle VS GUNTHER for the IC Title down the line. Another hilarious segment with Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn & Imperium. Every week, I'm liking Chad Gable teaching Maxxine Dupri more & more. I would love to see a segment with The Alpha Academy, Chase University, & Drew Gulak's School one day. The Alpha Academy VS The Viking Raiders was pretty good. The finish was surprising. I'm looking forward to a 6-Person Mixed Tag with Maxxine Dupri & Valhalla being added. Really good Natalya promo. She already is on a roll. She defeated Tegan Nox on last week's Main Event. I didn't like that at all. We already know what Rhea Ripley can do. It would have been good for Natalya to get a real match VS Ripley to compensate for the crap that was at Night of Champions. But I like Raquel possibly being Rhea's next challenger. LOL. Cody Rhodes & Akira Tozawa were great. And of course Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn will be Cody's partners. It's going to be a fun main event. Raquel Rodriguez VS Trish Stratus wasn't good at all. I think Trish's reunion tour should end. She hasn't been that good since she came back. And the finish was even worse with Becky Lynch costing Raquel the match. What a way to make Raquel look like a joke. This was Trish's 1st 1-on-1 match on Raw since she lost to Vickie Guerrero on March 14, 2011 & will be the 1st time since 2011 that she has wrestled over 4 matches in the same year. Cool appearance by Bron Breakker on Raw. Tomorrow will be Seth Rollins' 1st NXT match since The Shield defeated Corey Graves, Neville, & Xavier Woods on 8/14/13 & 1st 1-on-1 on NXT since he defeated Graves on 4/17/13. Good promo by Becky Lynch. I like how Becky turned what she did to Trish into a positive. And after thinking about it, I don't think Raquel looked bad in the match. She dominated Trish for the whole match so she'll be OK. Shinsuke Nakamura VS Bronson Reed was really good. I like that Nakamura & Reed had matching gear. They should be tag team partners. I don't mind Ricochet getting involved or Reed winning since he's not in MITB. And the crowd is behind him. Great promo by Seth Rollins. I'm glad that's he OK and will be able to wrestle Bron Breakker tomorrow at Gold Rush. If Breakker wins tomorrow, he will be the 2nd former NXT Champion to be World Heavyweight Champion. Before Raw ends, once again, I have to give props to Samantha Irvin who did another phenomenal job introducing everyone. She already is my 2nd favorite announcer of All-Time behind The Fink. The only thing's missing from tonight's Raw was an appearance by Johnny Gargano in his hometown to welcome Tommaso Ciampa back. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn & Cody Rhodes VS The Judgment Day was an unbelievable main event especially the final sequence. The crowd was on fire.
Here are my Raw Match Rankings: 1) Kevin Owens, Cody Rhodes, & Sami Zayn VS The Judgment Day 2) Matt Riddle VS Ludwig Kaiser 3) Tommaso Ciampa VS The Miz 4) Shinsuke Nakamura VS Bronson Reed 5) The Alpha Academy VS The Viking Raiders 6) Kayden Carter & Katana Chance VS Sonya Deville & Chelsea Green 7) Raquel Rodriguez VS Trish Stratus 8) Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin VS Indus Sher
Ends another awesome Raw. I loved everything except the Alexander & Benjamin VS Indus-Sher Match. I was tired from a long day at work, but Raw kept me awake. WWE gets better each & every week & MITB will be incredible. I can feel it.

They need to give Rhea a proper title feud. She’s too over not to.

This Ricochet/Reed/Nakamura feud is my least favorite thing across all brands right now. I just don't care at all. I know this is bob's gimmick, but
