I like that they're building Alexander as this awesome thing.

What is Kendrick calling the Bully Choke now? Captain's Hook?

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

Good match, but I'm going to echo something that came to mind during the CWC finals, spot heavy matches that end on a submission are kind of anticlimactic. For a big intro, hearing a one, two, three chant from the crowd might have helped the big match feel.

 

[Tagyhag]

What does Bryan Kendrick call his submission move?

 

[somedevil]

Noo Cedric ate the loss!

Well he is busy working the NXT tapings and maybe the pay per view in Nov.

 

[serenewarfare]

This cage match is gonna end up going like 12 minutes.

 

[RBH]

Fun match.

Despite Mick Foley trying his hardest to fuck things up, that was a solid intro for the Cruiserweight division.

Cedric Alexander stole the show

[justjim89]

I really think if Raw gets the cruiserweights, Smackdown should get a new iteration of the hardcore division.

 

[NastyBook]

"Okay guys don't look too good. Roman has a match later"

-Vince

You know this match is only going to make them boo harder. Hoping for chants of "Bring back Cedric!"

Match was fucking fantastic. Loved it.

I get why they don't want something called the Bully Choke on RAW but the Captain's Hook is such an awful name.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Bully lock

 

[Hidden One]

Damn they even gave Nia her cousins spot with the spear through the barricade

 

[serenewarfare]

NXT tapings are infrequent at best and don't happen on Mondays. He'll be on Raw more weeks than not I'd bet.

 

[Pikma]

Yaaaas THE Brian Kendrick!!!

 

[RBH]

 

[KingBroly]

Owens needs to win by escaping the cage.

 

[Tagyhag]

Why the hell is Alicia fighting Nia again? Why would she agree to that?

 

[Bluekaveli]

Alicia on the pre show 😄😄😄

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Stone Cold Alicia Fox deserves better. Like Summer Rae.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Kendrick was the right choice he is the veteran the division needs.

 

[Dthomp]

Man crowds blow these days. Barely got up for the cruiserweight match, which has easily been the highlight of the show

 

[Sephzilla]

Nash in that promo trying to dish off his lack of drawing power on everyone else

 

[justjim89]

Damn they even gave Nia her cousins spot with the spear through the ring

Don't be mean, now. Nia has better facial expressions than Roman has ever had.

 

[serenewarfare]

I wonder if Nash will tell the story again about how Bischoff freaked out and gave them massive raises for no reason.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Nash and Hall on the JBL show after Raw. :O

 

[Pikma]

You know, I like that they didn't sent all the guys out there at once, that was a smart choice.

 

[Ithil]

Damn they even gave Nia her cousins spot with the spear through the barricade

Nia has no relation to Reigns, just Rock.

 

[WouldYouKindly]

O shit a legands that dont look gahbage

 

[SallyIsNow]

Fucking $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[RBH]

Pretty much encapsulates what's wrong with Nia Jax

Should be portrayed as a monster heel, but has absolutely none of the facials to back it up.

Smiling from ear to ear in her match graphic ffs

 

[KingBroly]

that'd involve WCW. Obviously off limits.

ACH taking shots at WWE?

 

[somedevil]

So night of champions PPV

Owens vs Rollins
Rusev vs Reigns
Charlotte vs Bayley vs Sasha
New Day vs The Club
Perkins vs Kendrick
Jericho vs Zayn
Sheamus vs Cesaro

Preshow: Nia vs Alicia Fox

Stacked Card.

Only other match to maybe add is Enzo and Cass vs Shining Stars.

 

[ramoisdead]

Yup. It's bad enough hardly anybody knows who they are aside from Kendrick. Really liked they trickling the cruiserweights out, leaving some surprises out and showcasing the champ at the PPV.

 

[The Silver]

I really think if Raw gets the cruiserweights, Smackdown should get a new iteration of the hardcore division.

bring back 24/7 rules and put it up on the network.

3:AM some guy breaks into the champs hotel and tries to roll him up

 

[Keyser Soze]

I kinda remember when Rey Mysterio debuted on Smackdown it was on the same show that a cage match was on, and he ran out during the main event and jumped off the cage for some reason that I do not remember

Anyways, get a cruiserweight to do the same. Get them over more. It worked back then... it'll work now.

 

[serenewarfare]

that'd involve WCW. Obviously off limits.

Those JBL interviews are pretty open. They talked about TNA in the one he did with Sting.

That delayed reaction to the chairshot tho.

Not her fault she's pretty

 

[Ithil]

Bull Nakano was pretty in real life, she still made herself look like a monster wrestler.

 

[Master_Funk]

Man crowds blow these days. Barely got up for the cruiserweight match, which has easily been the highlight of the show

Raw crowds nowadays only pop for entrances . They couldn't give a shit about the match other than big spots.

 

[WouldYouKindly]

Not her fault she's pretty ugly

Fixed

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

So excited for @mrbriankendrick 🙌💪 #RAW

Doesn't have the face, the voice, nor the presence. The only thing that sells her as monster, and why she'll be stuck as one, is her size compared to the rest of the roster.

 

[serenewarfare]

bring back 24/7 rules and put it up on the network.

It boggles my mind that they have their own network and haven't taken the perfect opportunity to bring back a 24/7 title.

 

[galvatron]

Wolfpack Reigns?

 

[TimeEffect]

Sami looks so out of place and friendless in his match. I hate how he's a victim to this mindless booking

 

[TheStruggler]

random question but valuable, most people dislike roman reigns so Gaf, how would you build him up or rebuild him to make him better and get him over with the crowd again?
