See what you've done WWE, you've got Gable's kids crying because you haven't had Madcap Moss on TV for 4 months

At least Maxxine didn't turn on Alpha Academy. She's not a POS like Toni Storm. You are OUT of the friend group!!!

Props to GUNTHER and Chad Gable for being the only dudes to make me give a f*** about a TV match.

There is no way they cleared that sleeper suplex. They decided to just ask for forgiveness rather than permission. That move always looks like death GUNTHER and Jay White busting it out as the ultimate kill move is awesome

If they booked Rhea like they book Gunther, her title reign would be MUCH more highly regarded.

Little Girl Gable is about to learn what kayfabe is. If Gunther and Jinny have a daughter, she's got a ready-made feud in about 20 years.

Props to GUNTHER and Chad Gable for being the only dudes to make me give a f*** about a TV match. I'm sure a portion of this won't ever happen, but I would love it if after Gunther loses the Intercontinental Title and moves up to the main event, Gable followed him up there and they feuded again for the top prize.

After seeing that suplex from a different angle, Gunther protected Gable's head from spiking. It was very subtle but he slipped his arm under Gable's shoulder to prevent the top of his head hitting the mat. Very high difficulty move, but it looks like they pulled it off safely.

Here are my Raw Thoughts:
I was off of work today, so I had plans to finish up my Weekly Column, but my Mom is in the Hospital, so I spent all day with her, so I didn't have time to do anything, but I do have Facts for all of tonight's matches.
Great recap of Payback Good promo by Jey Uso. Love the interaction with Sami Zayn & them hugging it out. Also, love the face-off with Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle. Great use of continuity. And I loved Michael Cole's line about Cody Rhodes being an EVP once. Cool interaction with Ricochet & Seth Rollins. Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle VS The Viking Raiders was a fun Tornado Tag Team Match until the finish with Kofi Kingston but if it leads to a 1-on-1 Match between Kingston & McIntyre, then sign me up. Also, I loved Michael Cole with the history lesson about the 1st ever Tornado Tag Team Match. FACT: This was the 1st time that Drew McIntyre teamed with the same wrestler 4 times since he & Sheamus in 2023 & the 1st time that Matt Riddle teamed with the same wrestler 4 times since Randy Orton in 2022. This was everyone's 1st Tag Team Tornado Match & a re-match of Raw on 8/14, which was won by McIntyre & Riddle, so they each won 1 match. LOL. You can't include Honky Tonk Man in the same sentence as 3 WWE Hall of Famers Pat Patterson, Shawn Michaels, & Steve Austin, & a future 1st Ballot Hall of Famer Roman Reigns. Excellent Seth Rollins promo & interaction with Shinsuke Nakamura. I like them extending the feud so we can get another match between them at Fastlane. I love Ricochet coming out since we never got an end to their feud. Ricochet VS Shinsuke Nakamura was a fun match. I don't mind the DQ since this is a different Nakamura, but now Ricochet has 2 wins over Nakamura. I thought that Ricochet was going to land on Samantha Irvin. Good brawl with Seth Rollins & tease from Damian Priest. FACT: This was Ricochet's 1st 1-on-1 Match on Raw since he defeated Shinsuke Nakamura on 6/26 & was their 3rd re-match after Raw on 6/5 (ended in a No Contest) & 6/26 (won by Ricochet). It is awesome to see all of The Judgment Day with gold, especially Finn Balor who is the newest member of the Grand Slam Club & the 2nd in a row after Kevin Owens who also is part of it as a former Universal Champion. Great segment with The Judgment Day. Who would think a year ago when Dominik turned on Rey, that he would get this reaction. I have never heard anything like that. I hope that since they still have both the Raw & Smackwdown Tag Team Titles that they defend them separately. I like JD McDonagh giving Priest a new MITB Briefcase. Sami Zayn was good. OK promo with Raquel Rodriguez & Adam Pearce. Hilarious promo by Chelsea Green. Now, Piper Niven is hurt. Zoey Stark VS Shayna Baszler was a great match. I like the show of respect afterwards. Guess they'll team up now & be the next challengers for the Women's Tag Titles. FACTS: This was the 1st time since she wrestled Dana Brooke on 12/28/20 & 1/4/21 that Shayna Baszler wrestled the same opponent in back-to-back Singles Matches. This was a re-match of Raw on 8/7, which was also won by Baszler. Raquel Rodriguez VS Chelsea Green was short, but a good way to show how dominate Raquel can be. The Payback Match was horrible. We don't want to see a re-match with Rhea Ripley next week. FACT: This was the 1st time since 8/14 that Raw had 2 Women's Matches back-to-back. This was Rodriguez's 1st 1-on-1 match on Raw since she lost to Ronda Rousey on 6/26, a re-match of Raw on 5/22, which was also won by Rodriguez, & was Rodriguez's 1st 1-on-1 win since she defeated Sonya Deville on Raw on 5/22 Raw. Another great list of former Intercontinental Champions. Good promo by Chad Gable. Interesting segment with Drew McIntyre, Matt Riddle, & Kofi Kingston. It may be stupid, but that segment was hilarious. The Miz is an incredible performer to do that to an invisible John Cena. I don't mind a re-match with LA Knight. I love that they explained how Jey Uso can be traded to Raw with Smackdown getting money. I hope that the wrestler being traded to Smackdown ends up being someone like Odyssey Jones, Akira Tozawa, or Riddick Moss. Of course I have a feeling that it's going to be Cody Rhodes. Sami Zayn VS JD McDonagh was a pretty good match, but the finish with Dominik Mysterio was a little stupid. FACT: This was a re-match of Raw on August 14, which was won Zayn, so they each won 1 match. This was McDonagh's 1st win on Raw since he debuted. Love that last look of former IC Champ including my favorite of All-Time Randy Savage. 2 Former Champions that I wish they included but didn't was Luke Harper & Ricky Steamboat, who is now part of AEW. I'm intrigued to find out what's going to happen with Jey Uso after his talk with Dominik Mysterio. Chad Gable VS GUNTHER was incredible. I loved it better than their last match or any other IC Title Match that GUNTHER had. It got 3 segments with every single bit of action being shown in PIP. I feel so bad seeing Chad's kids cry in the crowd. Good bye Honky Tonk Man. The next Record that GUNTHER will break will be Mr. Perfect's 17 Televised Defenses. FACT: If Chad Gable would have won, he would have been the 3rd 1st-time Champion in a row, the 1st 2-named wrestler to be Champion since Sami Zayn in 2022, the 13th to be a former Smackdown Tag Team Champion & 1st since Shinsuke Nakamura in 2021, the 34th to be a former Raw Team Champion & the 1st since Big E in 2021, & the 3rd to be a former NXT Tag Team Champion after Luke Harper & Kofi Kingston, & the 2nd to be a former Raw, Smackdown, & NXT Champion & 1st since Kofi Kingston in 2012. This extends GUNTHER's Intercontinental Title Reign to 451 Days, which 2nd Longest Reign below HTM (6/2/87-8/28/88, 454 Days) & his 15th Defense, tying him with Shelton Benjamin's 1st Reign (10/19/04-6/20/05), Shawn Michaels' 1st Reign (10/27/92-5/17/93), Razor Ramon's 1st Reign (9/27/93-4/13/94), Bret Hart's 1st Reign (8/26/91-1/17/92) & 2nd Reign (4/5/92-8/29/92) for the 8th Most Defenses of All-Time. This was the 3rd match between them after Raw on 7/31 (won by GUNTHER) & 8/21 (won by Gable by CO). This was the 1st Intercontinental Championship Match to main event Raw since Dean Ambrose VS Seth Rollins in a Falls Count Anywhere Match on 1/7/19.
Here are my Raw Match Rankings: 1) Chad Gable VS GUNTHER 2) Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle VS The Viking Raiders 3) Sami Zayn VS JD McDonagh 4) Ricochet VS Shinsuke Nakamura 5) Zoey Stark VS Shayna Baszler 6) Raquel Rodriguez VS Chelsea Green
What a fun Raw. The matches were all great. They gave a lot time to a lot of matches. The segments were all good. I'm interested in seeing what happens next & what they have planned for Fastlane.
I didn't watch the Hot Wheels show when it aired on NBC earlier this summer, so I'm not going to watch the reruns on USA Network. Good Night.

Drew hasn't even turned heel yet and it feels like he's already got eyes on multiple targets. Riddle. Kofi. Jey. Cody. He's going to be like 2015 Kevin Owens who at one point was feuding with John Cena, Samoa Joe, Sami Zayn and umm, Alex Riley, basically all at the same time.
