    K! O! W!

    KINGS!

    It won't happen, but imagine them vs. The Shield.

    I think people would actually die.

    They aren't really moving particularly quick, but everything looks like it hurts, a lot.

    I do like the the struggling powerslam wasn't the finish. They managed a decent one.

    Also, I wish Big Show had won but getting power slammed so hard he disappeared was pretty cool too.

    So, after RAW they're filming for The Rock's movie where Thea Trinidad plays AJ Lee and Tessa Blanchard will be playing Paige's stunt double.

    There's something mildly disturbing about that. Maybe it's because I don't trust WWE, with their history of re-writing reality, to portray either woman honestly.

    Raw was... mostly OK. I'd say more good than bad.

    So I saw a GIF of Strowman doing a kip up in his match with Show.

    I don't care how assisted that shit was, it was impressive looking.

    I do love that The Rock is a big enough star that he can basically do whatever the hell he wants.

    EDIT: Apparently, he also coached crowd reactions during the filming of the match, and at one point told the crowd to "boo like you're booing Roman Reigns". Rock gives zero fucks.

    I had no idea that the movie the Rock is producing is about Paige, I thought it was more about her family.

    Really curious how they'll present her winning the Diva belt. Like do they try to present the match as "real" and do the cliché sports victory?

    From what I read, it's primarily focused on Paige and her brother, and their dream to become part of WWE.

    Meanwhile, the WWE hasn't done anything with the actual Paige in forever.

    Last I heard, she was still recovering from neck surgery while Del Rio is trying to talk her into doing MMA for his promotion. That sounds like a great idea.

    I love that Sami Zayn is writing cheques and Samoa Joe is cashing them.

    KO is great.

    Neville's promo was great and I hope he retains even though I like Jack.

    Even a solid match with great moments between two traditionally boring big men.

    Not all bad. Just the tag champs being made bitches for two weeks in a row by one man.

    No one knows. She hasn't wrestled since she won the title but she was walking pretty normal last Tuesday so hopefully not serious.

    Did she hurt it landing weird twice during the finish to the title match, or what? They brought it up on Talking Smack during Alexa's segment, but I hadn't heard anything about it and was wondering if it was just a worked injury so when Naomi loses they can pull the John Cena "I was hurt" excuse.

    They're really not. Gallows was the leader of The Bullet Club. Also they're the Tag Team Champions. They shouldn't be losing fights 2 on 1 to Roman Reigns. It makes the entire tag division look bad.

    You know how people were mad the Shield broke up? Well, look at New Day. That is what would have happened to the Shield if they stuck around. I would be fine if New Day was gone for a few months and came back. They just feel so stale now.

    The difference is that the New Day, independently, will never be given anything to work with. Big E could be, but Xavier has always been the New Day's jobber and Kofi is just a spot jobber. People don't want them to break up because they'll be pushed off into obscurity.

    I'd like to think Big E would get a good singles push. Kofi as well but I see Xavier ending up in the cruiser division, which wouldn't be that bad.

    A New Day breakups only future is a New Day reunion

    Which isn't too bad really, as some time away from the screen may refresh it a bit

    While Big E could do a decent singles push I don't think he's in the top tier mix, it really is crowded at the top right now

    It's almost like having your midcard belt entangled in your main event feuds for months hurts your midcard.

    A reunion is only good for dominant groups. It's why when you put the Shield and the Wyatt's in the same ring the crowd lights up or throw Evolution back together. What do you get if you put New Day together? Comedy skits.

    2K doesn't care so they had Lawler do commentary.
