🔴 RAW 9/9 Thread: ...And The Horsewomen You Rode In On

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

That’s right, it’s Monday again and that means ONLY one thing. Time for RAW, coming to you live from the hallowed grounds of Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, NY, the first of a two-night stand for WWE going into Clash Of Champions. Scheduled for tonight, a surprisingly large amount of stuff already:

*After The OC interfered with things last week, the planned contract signing for the Universal Championship match between Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman will now happen tonight, and as part of his role as a certified notary public for the state of New York, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin will be around to make sure things keep in order. DOCUMENTS WILL BE SIGNED, BAH GOD
*After a disputed finish last week, the RAW final for the King Of The Ring tournament tonight will be a triple threat between Baron Corbin, Ricochet and Samoa Joe. The SmackDown winner, either Elias or Chad Gable, awaits the winner this Sunday
*For the first time on the main roster, WWE’s Four Horsewomen will meet in tag team competition. After last week’s events where SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley shockingly reaffirmed her alliance with Sasha Banks and laid out both RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, The Boss And Hug Corruption now must face their wrath. But can The Man and The Queen put their own differences aside long enough to deliver it?
*Refreshed after overcoming a crisis of confidence, Rey Mysterio is in singles competition tonight as he takes on Gran Metalik of the Lucha House Party, in somewhat of a lucha libre dream match
*And finally, United States Champion AJ Styles will go up against Cedric Alexander in non-title singles action

All that, and a lot of lament that they don’t have that short aisleway anymore, TONIGHT on RAW!

I remember when you could tell just by watching what arena they were in (New Haven, CT comes to mind), and MSG was definitely one of those. Now it looks like everywhere else... 😞

Wonder if the crowd will chant "Dolan sucks" at any point tonight. Of course, if they do they might get banned from MSG.

They might get banned DURING the broadcast, which would explain the impromptu Empty Arena stipulation that will be put on whatever the main event is tonight.

[grungesmurf]

Have Stone Cold present Seth with that big blue belt he was given by Vince and then have Seth trash that ugly red one with no explanation.

Sasha & Bayley v Becky & Charlotte is going to be interesting. Surely a Boss & Hug win because Becky & Charlotte won’t get along.

Only if Bayley just repurposes Terry Funk's infamous Empty Arena Match promo.

Raw and MSG. Two things that give me a headache.

WWE has absolutely stacked this card on paper, and I hope MSG provides some interesting aesthetic and highlights. But, this is RAW, we know how it goes.

But at the very least they're trying given it's gonna be one of their hardest days of the year, the first week of Football, the MNF Doubleheader.

I'm really curious to see how the Horsewomen match goes, especially since I'm not even sure when the last time all four were in a match together was. That said, I expect it will be an inconclusive ending with likely a dq or Charlotte and Becky keep it together long enough for the win then immediately go after each other only to be beaten down by a united Sasha and Bayley with them standing tall despite losing. That said, I would prefer Sasha and Bayley winning due to Becky and Charlotte being unable to put aside their differences or trust each other long enough. The third option is that Charlotte abandons Becky halfway through the match but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Still, I would love to see this live (sadly I'll be at work).

I kinda want a pure Pier 6 brawl throughout MSG.

Yeah I think we're getting the olde too much ass kicking double DQ in this match. And in my opinion that's the right decision for this match.

NO ONE SHOULD BE EATING A PIN OR TAPPING!

This is the first RAW I’m attending. First wrestling show in MSG.

Hoping somehow this episode doesn’t suck.

Live footage of Dolan banning people from MSG forever en masse.

Have a great time, regardless!! No matter how the show is, it will be a special memory for you.

The crappy red one suits the crappy champion.

[Nosnorb]

So with The Bionic Redneck overseeing the contract signing, I expect Roode and Ziggler to interrupt the signing and both to eat a stunner.

[kidkamikaze10]

Hope he doesn’t make it past the gate.



EDIT: if the image isn’t coming through, nZo has tickets to tonight’s raw.

Bray Wyatt’s been teasing on Twitter that he may go after Austin, so there’s that to possibly look forward to/be disappointed by when it doesn’t happen.

Hopefully this is the start of ppvs returning to the garden. Has there really been a bad one?
