Did anyone notice though? Hopefully with the new focus on proper camera cuts, we can get photoshop material.

They even got like a cool and unique camera angle on this I'm very happy
There were some interesting shots elsewhere on the show too. Finn in-ring with Rhea/Dom in the background was another example.

The crowd seemed to react. Because they recognized him or they thought someone was legit being arrested? I thought it was the latter They literally popped as soon as his face was clear on camera, they absolutely recognized him

BACKGROUND STORYTELLING? IN MY WWE? It's more likely than you think.

I rarely say this about anyone going wherever they want but Gargano would be a straight up buster if he goes to AEW. Lol.
Triple H is playing favorites like crazy, he’d be one of the top guys immediately. The bag is there and it’s huge.

I thought so at first but then remembered all the weird backstage stuff and figured out it was an angle.

Alvarez readying a ten minute rant about seeing "The Creep From The Creep Farm" on Observer Live tomorrow...🤣
All silliness aside this was a fun show with four really fun matches. The rest were typical timefillers, but whew, the subtle angles and the building to future Raws may be simple ideas but they feel so fresh on a show like this.

TK is going to have sell a warehouse full of blow and hookers and that is only to entice Candice I do think that if he shows up in AEW he probably signed a contract a while ago. If he doesn't show up, HHH is calling his phone every 2 days like c'mon sign a deal and come back whenever you are ready

And this is no disrespect to the company before I get attacked. Gargano isn’t sniffing the world title. He’ll be on the outside looking in for a long time, MAYBE a feud with Jericho that goes too long and he loses.

I was almost done with my 2 weeks worth of Facts & Stats for my site, but Raw was so good that I'm paying more attention to the TV than typing up everything, so I will work on it tomorrow after work & post it before NXT.
Here are my Raw Thoughts:
So many random tag teams in the Women's Tag Team Tournament. I like the idea of Nikkita Lyons & Zoey Stark from NXT as a random team but they should have done Kayden Carter & Katana Chance since they are the NXT Women's Tag Champs, so they can try to be double Champions. Great Bayley promo. I like that Bayley messed up & tried to cover it up. Dakota Kai & IO SKY were good in their roles. Control is a good name for them. The interruption by Asuka, Bianca Belair, & Alexa Bliss was fun, as was the brawl. Their 6-Woman Tag at Clash of The Castle will be awesome. Awesome match between Angelo Dawkins & Seth Rollins. These last 2 weeks showed that both Dawkins & Montez Ford will have successful singles careers. Wow. What a segment with Edge & The Mysterios. I like the little mean streak in Dominik. He should be mad at what Edge did even if it was an accident. Excellent video package on Ciampa. Awesome promo with Ciampa & The Miz. I love Ciampa dedicating the match to Harley Race. Yes, Kevin Owens is back. They're not in Texas this week. Wow, I was next expecting Kevin Owens injuring Ezekiel like that. This is the KO that I love. I wonder if this means that Ezekiel is gone & Elias will be returning. Good promo by The Judgment Day. To answer Priest's question, Edge's last match in Toronto was a live event when he defeated Dolph Ziggler to retain the World Heavyweight Title on February 5, 2011 & last on Raw when he def Christian on May 17, 2010. OK segment with Edge & Rey Mysterio. Rey Mysterio VS Finn Balor was incredible. I love Edge brawling with Damian Priest. I don't like Rhea Ripley laying out Dominik Mysterio since Dominik can't fight back and go after Rhea. Yes, Dana Brooke gets to wrestle in her hometown. I like that she & Tamina have mutual respect after feuding for the 24/7 Title. Good response by Bayley & company. Dana Brooke & Tamina VS Dakota Kai & IYO SKY was an awesome match. If someone else was booking this, it would have ended in several 24/7 Title Changes & 2 minutes of wrestling. Good way to start the Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament. Do not expect live thoughts for the WrestleMania Launch Party. I will not be watching that. Great promo by Kevin Owens as always. But what was going on in the background with Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H. & the car accident? OK segment with The Mysterios. Another awesome video for the US Title with the addition of Bobby Lashley & Ciampa. I love that they are making the US Title so important by bringing up history. Bobby Lashley VS Ciampa was great. AJ Styles & The Miz brawling wasn't needed. It took away a little from the match. And sorry to people that thought that Johnny Gargano would show up because they are in Cleveland. You only fooled yourselves. Awesome. AJ Styles VS The Miz in a No DQ Match. That is why a main event hasn't been announced for tonight. Stupid Match. I thought Omos wasn't going to be used since he was a Vince project. There is no need for Enhancement Matches in 2022 with wrestlers that we will never see again. Cool Riddle will be back next week for an interview. Funny promo by Seth Rollins. Kevin Egan has had a rough night tonight. Dolph Ziggler VS Chad Gable was an excellent match that I wasn't expecting. For the record, this wasn't the 1st time they wrestled each other as they wrestled back in 2018 with the same result. OK promo by Nikki A.S.H. & Doudrop. Solid promo by Asuka & Alexa Bliss with an interruption by Bayley & company. And then AJ Styles walking by them. But once again, there is something going on with that car in the background. I am so glad that I don't do my Facts & Stats during promos anymore because then I wouldn't being attention to the TV and not seeing all of these things that are going on in the background. Tonight is interesting. We had 1 wrestler from Cleveland (Dana Brooke) lose earlier. We had the 2nd wrestler from Cleveland (Dolph Ziggler) win. And now we have the 3rd wrestler from Cleveland. Will Miz make it 2-1 for Cleveland? Damn it (no pun intended), Bucky Beaver missed the shot of The Miz's dropkick while AJ Styles was outside. He needs to be fired next. I just realized it probably hurts more now when a wrestler gets thrown into the barricade since they have the LED Screens on it instead of just the padding. AJ Styles VS The Miz was a fun No DQ Match. I didn't mind Ciampa's attempted interference. I'm happy that no one mentioned Miz's Balls. So, it's 1-2 for Cleveland tonight. What the hell? That was Dexter Lumis at ringside getting taken away by Security. Did he have anything to do with the car earlier? What an awesome Raw. I love the craziness of everything going on backstage. I loved all of the matches except for the stupid Handicap Match, so I can't choose my favorite.

I missed the first hour but at least on the backstage security part I saw it was very interesting that AJ walked by at the end of it, like Lumis has been close to him all night.

I love how this completely makes sense with Dexter and how the car crash played into it , with it now being clear it was a distraction so he could move about and get that close to ring side but like most horror villans the plans always stopped at the last second.
He knew he could not move around this size an arena and roster without someone noticing him so he needed a big distraction....now I am wondering if this was a wheres waldo situation and he was always in the background somewhere but no one was paying attention cause everyone was just watching the show.
Wonderfully played though.
