RAW is live in Kansas City tonight, and up against Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. Gonna go brief today, as there's only one thing people are caring about...
*Who will Brock Lesnar cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase on?
*Will Rey Mysterio hand back the United States Title to Samoa Joe?
*Who is next to challenge Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship following Lacey Evans dropping two tag matches to her last week?
*Will R-Truth escape again with the 24/7 Title?
But more importantly...
*How will WWE visually react to being called out and mocked by All Elite Wrestling? Will anyone with ambitions to go there be humiliated on screen? Will a jobber named "Code E" show up and get destroyed? Will Renee Young get attacked?
Find out all this and more from 8/7c on USA!

Will Baron Corbin get the biggest hometown pop of all time? I say yes.
Also, the last couple weeks have been ok for Raw. Here's to hoping that "hot streak" continues.

I'm not expecting them to do anything major here in response to Double Or Nothing. The TV networks probably won't push anything else onto them until the TNT weekly show starts, or unless ratings drop even more.
Basically, they'll just throw more "unpredictable" at it.

Full disclosure, if I were booking it just for Internet laughs this show would 100% have a bit where Braun destroyed five jobbers at once named Kenny, Cody, Matt, Nick, and Adam.

"This is Michael Cole, and we here at WWE know how much the world is buzzing for AEW, and we have permission to show you why"
*45 minutes later,FANs inner monologue*
"I mean. I LIKE the guy, but enough with Elias! When are we gonna get to AEW, or anything, really. What, is it gonna be
ALL Elias wrestling and singing...wait... all..elias...wrestling. a.. e. w."
*2 hours 15 minutes later*
"This is Michael cole. Thanking you for joining us for the first episode of AEW! Twerp your MyFace initiates and dont forget to eat popeyes chicken, drink mountain dew and study those life insurance ads that come on during The Price is Right! Goodnight, everybody!"

WWE acknowledging AEw would be a huge win for AEW and the WWe would know that, and so you'd think the easiest and best thing for them would be to completely ignore anything to do with AEW.
But it's Vince, the man is seriously deranged and unchecked, so expect some snide references (fed to Corey Graves' mouth) at the very least, and a whole out-of-touch hilariously bad effort at a comeback in the form of some jobber resembling a major AEW player or a Triple H breaking the fourth wall line at the most.

I know taking shots at each other is silly but I like it. I'll bet HHH is loving it and can't wait to drop some AEW snark.

I expect A female Asian jobber "Kimmy Sobetah" to be destroyed by The Man. Vince to proclaim on his way to the arena, his limo stopped because there was a bag of money in the highway. "I have NEVER seen money in the Roads!" A crudely drawn animated sketch showing Dean Ambrose returning to his home world. A montage of every time Jericho got humiliated or his ass beaten. Vince to be in the ring again, making potshots about what kind of worldwide brand wastes a bigger star of theirs at their spectacle event by hitching him to a pointless gimmick match, feuding with sketch show comedians from a show that's an even less relevant fossil from the 90s than their own show. And the show suddenly stops,as security surrounds Senile Self Sabotaging Sike a path Vince to take away to retirement |

Yeah, I can definitely see them doing something wacky tonight to respond to Double or Nothing.
Not taking shots at AEW, but some misguided attempt at appealing to that demographic.
Perhaps calling up Undisputed Era and renaming them The BayBay Experience.

Well folks, we understand that Chris Jericho who used to compete here as Doink the Clown will be winning their World Championship.
That’ll put butts in the seats.

Potentially bad news: Maybe no Charly Caruso tonight? Because right now she's hosting an episode of ESPN's First Take which films in a New York City studio. So unless the 'E wants to spring for a private jet to send her to Kansas City right after that, we might be Charlyless tonight.  |

Raw opens with HHH"s throne on the stage and spot light on it. Michael Cole - "The throne still stands! Welcome to Monday Night Yard!" (New boom period)

Now that AEW is a thing... I like how you’re implying that it’s only NOW that people are being miserable about watching RAW. |

Oh, it's been a thing for years, but now that we got something that isn't on a network run by survivalists or hasn't been plagued by stagnant booking for what has felt like a century, that's only going to amplify WWE as the uncool, unpopular option. |

That'd be what WWE would do... except we're still going to push Braun beating up Sami Zayn for no reason, since it's not WrestleMania season, so it's okay to push Braun to more meaningless accomplishments. |
