I kinda expected them to lose instantly. Get the pop for Becky's return, only to put the belts back on Liv/Raquel as they've been doing well as champions.

I can't believe WWE didn't consider booking Rusev as a nerd/gamer... what a missed opportunity.

This kind of feels like a dead crowd for the Raw after Mania.

Yeah, it was super weird. Maybe he got lit before/during the segment?

So this is where penta wins the IC title from Dom because Fin turns, right?

Cena saying "####" right before being RKO'd was more fun than the entire match last night

A fun Raw. I was into everything, well except for the uso stuff. That I fast-forward.


Vaqour is a phenomenal talent. So is Skye. That match could have lasted forever.

I would have liked to see The Rock show up to make up for last night but that was the best RAW I’ve ever seen live.

Stephanie Vaquer and Rusev’s pop was loud.

Not sure if anyone did the same as me, but I got a Triller+ subscription for Mania weekend. Natalya and Kross looked really cool booked as MMA/Fighter types at Bloodsport. And Brodie Lee’s son -1 won Joey Janela’s cluster###### which was cool to see.

That was a fun Dynamite, even if it didn't have the same level of star power as last week.

Thought the Bucks put on a great match and made Kevin Knight look like a star, even if he took the pin at the end.

Kind of weird to announce this off camera, isn't it? Maybe he was too stiff with him and that's the issue?

I'm so glad they didn't change Aleister Black's theme music.

Fantastic TLC match on Smackdown tonight. Might be match of the year. I like the rivalry between these three teams, and they'll do well adding Fraxiom to the mix.

Also good to have Aleister Black back. His entrance, music, and finisher alone make him a great addition to the roster.

The crowd in Vegas last week thought they were going to add the match to WrestleMania and Nick Aldis got booed hard when he anounced it for this week.

It should have been on the mania card.

Mania was missing that multiman gimmick type of ladder match this year.

Orton calling out Cena for not having kids and then Cena just eviscerating a kid and his dad on the mic was hilarious.

Even Orton had a bit of a "oh we're really doing this" look on his face as Cena was just trashing the kid and dad.

It's interesting that I guess the last singles match between these two was Feb 7th 2017...and before that it was October 26 2014.

Which is interesting because I'd have never guessed these two have had one singles match against each other in the last 10 years.

In the decade prior to that it probably felt like these two were fighting every other week.

It is a good idea for them to take Cody off TV for a little while, He can come back before summer slam.

Solid Dynamite tonight. Double or Nothing should be really good.

One thing about Dynamite that bothered me is these "no rules" multi-man matches. Just anything goes, no tags, people coming in and out of the ring, no count outs... everyone spamming moves. Then you have Omega waiting for the hot tag, while everyone else is fighting in the ring already. Too many matches are like that, including every Bucks match. I don't think AEW even know count outs actually exist. So many matches and up outside the ring for minutes on end, and the corpse referee is doing nothing. It's just lazy booking, possibly even no booking beyond the winner.

Meh. I'd rather that than the lazy booking WWE does with their stupid run-in DQs.
