Any re-caps I see of the torn pec match just continue to make me go "Dude what the f*** were you thinking?", especially since Cody seems to have been out longer than projected since...

Was it not 6-8 months for recovery? He had surgery in June. I don't think he's been out longer than projected. I remember thinking he may be ready for the rumble. And he may be ok to go now but I think he's being saved for the rumble regardless

I'm thinking he's back for the Rumble myself, I thought the timetable was four months, maybe I'm wrong

Still... that match was rough to watch lol

I promised myself I’d never go to a live Raw again… but those two matches look fun.

That interview Cody did was basically him saying "I'm gonna be in the Rumble" without outright saying it.

I thought it was brilliant ending the show on Uncle Howdy accidentally dropping his jar of bees and saying "dag nabbit ya let the bees out" as that rly hints at the possibility that the bees will be back

Here are my Raw Thoughts. Since this week is the final week of 2022, I thought I would share some W/L Records, Facts & Stats for Raw. Only TV & PPV Matches are counted.

Tonight's the 1st Raw since 1/26/15 to not have any live matches. That Raw was the night after the Royal Rumble when there was a Blizzard in Connecticut forcing Raw to be cancelled.
The opening with The Street Profits was annoying. I was so happy that they were weren't going to host the show for 3 hours. Jackie Redmond & Corey Graves were good.
My thoughts will be minimal tonight since it's stupid to discuss matches that I already saw this year.
Today is Shelton Benjamin's 20th Anniversary. Show some respect for him. Where's his video package?
Hilarious promo by Sami Zayn.
Good interview with The New Day. The small group that he was talking about are them, The Revival, The Street Profits, & Chad Gable & Jason Jordan. They are the only men to be Raw, Smackdown, & Tag Team Champions.
I like the idea of them showing Smackdown matches too, so it's not just a Best of Raw or matches featuring Raw wrestlers on PPV.
Amazing video on Bianca Belair as well as a fun interview. I like that it's not just recaps of matches, but interviews with the wrestlers to get their point of view.
Good video on Logan Paul. What an impressive year he had. He's the first celebrity in history to wrestle 3 matches in the same calendar year.
Great segment looking at The Bloodline & the best character of 2022, Sami Zayn.
Awesome video with Drew McIntyre, looking at his life & Clash At The Castle.
Good interview with Drew McIntyre. He has been missed on Smackdown. I love the passion in his voice talking about getting PPVs in other countries. Please do McIntyre VS GUNTHER in 2023. The interaction they had in the 6-Man Tag at Tribute to The Troops was awesome.
Cool look at Karrion Kross though his feud with Drew McIntyre wasn't that good.
Good look at all of the returns & debuts for 2022. I enjoyed all of them except Ronda Rousey, Braun Strowman, & Hit Row. They should have never been brought back. How is Baron Corbin a return? He just moved from Smackdown to Raw.
It is great to see Cody Rhodes again. His return & his 3 matches with Seth Rollins were one of my favorite things of 2022. His injury was one of the most heartbreaking things of the year. His W/L Record of 8-0 is the only undefeated Record of 2022.
Another excellent profile & interview with Liv Morgan. She had an amazing year until they screwed her by taking the SmackDown Women's Title off of her to put it on Ronda Rousey who should have never been brought back.
Good video on The Judgment Day.
Good look at Austin Theory & Bobby Lashley VS Seth Rollins. Next week's match between Rollins & Theory will be an awesome way to start 2023. And it won't count as a re-match as next week we wipe the slate clean & start over again.
I was going to make a list of how I would rank the matches that they showed tonight, but all of the matches shown were my favorite matches of 2022. There were so many excellent matches this year that I can't decide one to be the best.
I thought Raw would be a waste of time, but it wasn't. I enjoyed looking at the top matches of 2022. I like the interviews & profiles. 2022 was an interesting year for WWE with a lot of crap to start the year but amazing things to end thanks to the change of power.

This RAW sounded way more interesting than tonight’s MSG house show that I wasted money on. BORING.
