holy shit! so many creative and crazy spots in what has been an absolutely nutso match so far. i thought bianca v sky would be match of the night without question but there's no way they'll top this in entertainment value

I still don't understand how you're suppose to take a coup de grace

It's all on the person doing it. They're supposed to shift their weight/gravity in front of or behind the person. That's why you always seem them either roll to the front or fall on their back. Finn usually lands on his back. As soon as he connects he's already leaning back and just takes a back bump. It still hurts, but its not supposed to fully connect if done right.

Oh god, Will it stay this way? Smackdown feels lacking cause it's too short. 3 hours is a good length. Raw never feels rushed.
I doubt it. They needed a temporary home to get them to the Netflix deal so USA renewed them short term for a discount. Looks like part of that discount was only paying for 2 hours.

Still hasn't been confirmed that Netflix Raw will be 3 but with how much they're paying most assume it would be. Or at least around that, since it could fluctuate from week to week on streaming.

Damn, every wrestling shirt I have is a New Day shirt. I remember wearing my Booty O's shirt to my office job back in 2016 or 2017 and everyone looked at me like I was crazy (it was a very lax job and even when leadership tried to crack down they were hardly in the office enough to enforce anything).

People were down on this card but this has been a solid Raw with a hot crowd.
yet another bad take of mine. apart from leamus v dunce and natalya v stark, i liked-to-loved every segment and match. bronson v braun and bianca v iyo were the undeniable standouts, but the other stuff was still very entertaining. though i'm kind of getting sick of how predictable the judgment day stuff is getting. "oh, someone is fighting dirty dom/carlito/finn/jd/liv? gee, i wonder if the rest of the gang is going to either interfere with the match to cheat the babyface out of a victory or gang up and attack the babyface if the babyface gets a win 🤔" don't get me wrong—i love the judgment day storyline, but the constant match interference is wearing thin. at least it's consistent characterization, i suppose

but yeah, tonight's raw ruled

Have they addressed Odyssey Jones disappearing (obviously they're not going to say why) or pretending like it never happened?

Damn I stopped watching, and Iyo beat Bianca "clean."

It's like that meme of a kid missing school the day when Messi made a surprise visit.
