RAW 6/18

[BaconBits]

Should be a fun show.

[Skairipa]

Oh shit we're getting Bliss vs Rousey!

[shafe_41]

JESUS RONDA

[BaconBits]

Oh shit we're getting Bliss vs Rousey!

They’re smart to keep Ronda quiet for this. She’s on way over her head promo wise here.

[shafe_41]

While every shot she delivered to everybody was weak as hell... Ronda is fuggin' mad.

[BaconBits]

Oh, so now Ronda is Stone Cold?

[shafe_41]

Dear WWE... this is what you were SUPPOSED to make Roman do... three years ago.

[klunderbunker]

Works for me

[Skairipa]

They’re smart to keep Ronda quiet for this. She’s on way over her head promo wise here.

Yeah, plus her just wanting to beat people up tonight is great and fits her character.

Suspended for 30 days!? What?

[shafe_41]

C'mon Kurt... just make a match for Extreme Rules so I know I get to see Ronda in the Burgh.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I didn't have the highest hopes for Rousey, but dang she has far exceeded all expectations.

She might just be the best overall woman on the roster.

[shafe_41]

I'm gonna be real salty if Ronda doesn't appear at Extreme Rules

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I want a Network show where Rollins goes berserk and burns down everything in sight.

[Skairipa]

Please be Drew facing him, please.

[Skairipa]

Of course they went with Dolph.

[BaconBits]

Would have been hilarious if Brock came out and squashed him and took the IC title to Syrup land too.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Please be Drew facing him, please.

I think we all wanted it to be Drew, but maybe they're saving that for a PPV.

[Skairipa]

I think we all wanted it to be Drew, but maybe they're saving that for a PPV.

Possible. I get why they didn't go Drew but it would have been much more entertaining.

[Skairipa]

Aaaand the thunderstorms here have frozen USA network somehow.

[Skairipa]

WHAT!? Also WHY DIDN'T DREW GET THAT SPOT!?

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Find you a girl who loves you as much as WWE loves pushing Ziggler for no reason

[Skairipa]

That was so stupid. The crowd isn't even pissed they simply just don't care. That's why you don't waste things like that on Ziggler.

[BaconBits]

Find you a girl who loves you as much as WWE loves pushing Ziggler for no reason

This is more about Drew. This is all going to end with Drew beating the brakes off of Shit Shittler.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Zigglers one of their work horse guys. They should get a title now and then just to keep mildly credible. Besides, it might be the spark that turns Drew on him.

[Skairipa]

Nothing can justify Ziggler beating Rollins instead of Drew. Or even Elias last night would have been a better choice.

[BaconBits]

Oh hey, it’s that guy who is lamer than Shittler.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Oh hey, it’s that guy who is lamer than Shittler.

He's at least much more interesting as a heel. Ziggler is boring either way.

[BaconBits]

He's at least much more interesting as a heel. Ziggler is boring either way.

Oh, I agree. Shitbag heel Bobby Roode in TNA was fantastic. Now he’s just an entrance with a midlife crisis.

[MF Doom]

Mr Monster in the Contract Braun Strowman

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Does anyone else feel like they've waited a little too long to pull the trigger on Strowman?

Edit - Just to clarify, they should still do it. They just should have already done it.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

Does anyone else feel like they've waited a little too long to pull the trigger on Strowman?

A little bit. But I'm a fan of Braun, so I'm biased. Not saying you're wrong, but let's see how Braun progresses from now on.

[Skairipa]

I can't wait for Braun to beat Brock a year after he should have originally.

Poor Kevin Owens is getting those hands again tonight.

[BaconBits]

Does anyone else feel like they've waited a little too long to pull the trigger on Strowman?

Edit - Just to clarify, they should still do it. They just should have already done it.


No, this time it’s great because he’s going to snake Roman just like Seth did, and it’s going to be amazing.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

They’re like the febreeze sisters it’s so fresh in there.

[Wildcat66]

Sasha and Bayley being friends again after everything is pretty nice. I can feel the chemistry flowing from the two of them.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I really don't get the appeal of the Broken gimmick.

[BaconBits]

I really don't get the appeal of the Broken gimmick.

That’s because the original incarnation was loved because of how bad it was, not because people thought it was good.

[Wildcat66]

I swear Michael Cole is greying more and more each week.

[BaconBits]

Constable Corbin is entertaining to me.

[Skairipa]

Of course Stephanie had to bitch Kurt out for something. At least it was only on the phone and Constable Corbin is entertaining.

[BaconBits]

I like motivational speaker Jinder. I could get behind that.

[Wildcat66]

I haven't been that high with The Riott Squad, but I will be happy to say that they've found their niche these last few weeks.

[Skairipa]

I like motivational speaker Jinder. I could get behind that.

What'd he do? I saw him coming out and decided it was a good snack break.

[A11]

Riot squad just feels forced. You could tell me they were all lesbian lovers and waiting for polyamorous weddings to be legalised and I still wouldnt believe they were actually friends

[Skairipa]

Riot squad just feels forced. You could tell me they were all lesbian lovers and waiting for polyamorous weddings to be legalised and I still wouldnt believe they were actually friends

What's funny is I think Ruby and Liv at least are good friends outside the ring.

[Skairipa]

Is it just me who feels like Sasha is gonna beat the hell out of Bayley tonight?

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Is it just me who feels like Sasha is gonna beat the hell out of Bayley tonight?

Maybe, but I really don't care anymore. This feud lost all its heat months ago.

[Wildcat66]

On that note, this crowd is easily the worst of the year so far. Like, seriously, wake up already

[BaconBits]

Maybe, but I really don't care anymore. This feud lost all its heat months ago.

It would be better if they weren’t such shit actresses.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

It would be better if they weren’t such shit actresses.

I want to disagree with you, but I can't.

[klunderbunker]

They really are terrible at talking.

[Skairipa]

At least they didn't just suddenly make Sasha and Bayley best friends again randomly. But shit or get off the pot already with that feud.

[klunderbunker]

And yes, they really are doing this at Summerslam.

[Wildcat66]

They really are terrible at talking.

At least Sasha tries to show more emotion and range than Bayley.

And you wonder why I find Becky to be the mouth of the four horsewomen. (With Sasha as the workhorse, Bayley as the heart and conscience and Charlotte as the complete package)

[BaconBits]

It would be fantastic if Kurt was just like “Fuck off Roman, you are a cornucopia of failure when it comes to Brock.”

[SD619]

My ideal scenario for Summerslam: Roman vs Brock. They spam finishers for 5 minutes, Braun destroys both of them and wins the Universal belt.

[Skairipa]

Roman Reigns, our hero out here to whine and complain about getting screwed by the authority again despite having gotten more Universal Title matches than everybody else on the roster combined.

I think we found the option worse than Roman, Lashley.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I think we found the option worse than Roman, Lashley.

That's actually impressive

[BestSportsEntertainer]

And now you get the opportunity to get squashed by Reigns and Lashley

[Skairipa]

The burial of the Revival continues.

[klunderbunker]

My head hurts.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Did Kurt ever announce when Lesnar would defend the title?

[Skairipa]

Did Kurt ever announce when Lesnar would defend the title?

I think he said Summerslam.

[BaconBits]

Elias is better at sports entertaining than any of these herbs.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

No Coach it's that time they beat Heath Slater and Rhyno

[Wildcat66]

I mean...it's not all bad. At least they aren't out and out jobbing to Roman and Bobby.

On that note: Roman and Bobby would make for a pretty fun tandem.

[BaconBits]

That corner spot just looked like Roman gave ten bro hugs.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Corey Graves is the commentator we need, not the one we deserve

[klunderbunker]

So to recap, we're now building towards a multi-man match for a future title shot because that's the fresh idea this show needs. Oh and Revival is there to enhance bigger singles feuds. Great indeed.

[BaconBits]

And Mojo says no way to Jose.

[BaconBits]

And Sasha and Bayley muddle their way through another segment.

[klunderbunker]

Good grief this show is still going.

[BaconBits]

Good grief this show is still going.

There’s a train wreck of a main event tag match to come yet.

[Wildcat66]

Is it wrong that I want to see Elias win the Universal title only for Braun to cash it in moments afterward?

[klunderbunker]

There’s a train wreck of a main event tag match to come yet.

In a match that could be in any MITB build show because the F****** WRITERS ARE F****** LAZY HACKS WHO CAN'T COME UP WITH ANYTHING NEW.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

I can't get Elias's song out of my head

[BaconBits]

I can't get Elias's song out of my head

Starpower has a way of doing that. He’ll probably never get a huge push in WWE, because they can already see he’s eventually going to move on to bigger and better things.

[Skairipa]

Surprised they gave Corbin and Owens the win but it's nice seeing them win something for a change.

[Wildcat66]

Surprised they gave Corbin and Owens the win but it's nice seeing them win something for a change.

Constable Corbin is only a few weeks into his reign and is already more successful than Corporate Kane ever was.

Monday Night Raw
Date: June 18, 2018
Location: Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Commentators: Jonathan Coachman, Michael Cole, Corey Graves

It’s finally the night after Money in the Bank and therefore we now need to deal with the fallout of the briefcase. In this case that would be the men’s briefcase, which was won by Braun Strowman. However, we now have to wait for Brock Lesnar to grace us with his presence, which may not be until the build to Summerslam. Let’s get to it.
