Monday Night Raw - August 13, 2018

[BestSportsEntertainer]

It's the go-home show for SummerSlam, where we'll see if Da Big Dawg can FINALLY conquer the Beast and win the Universal Championship.

Renee Young is on commentary tonight. If nothing else, she's an upgrade over Coach.

Also...

Dean Ambrose is supposed to return tonight

[BaconBits]

I can’t get excited about Ronda at all. The stink of her UFC exit is light years worse than Brock’s.

[BaconBits]

Meh. This is all very meh.

[Wildcat66]

Alicia Fox's got quite the offer going on for her.

Good to see she's having fun with herself now that she's back on TV.

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

OH GOD FUCKING DAMN IT WHY IS FOX WITH HER WHY

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Alexa is the best female on the mic easily

[BaconBits]

I like the fat guy tag team that’s part of Alexa’s security. Fat guy tag teams are the best.

Not sure if you watch NXT, but you'll pop for Heavy Machinery

[BaconBits]

Not sure if you watch NXT, but you'll pop for Heavy Machinery

I do and I do.

[smarkmouth]

Well, they're teasing Heyman and Reigns, which all but guarantees it won't happen.

[BaconBits]

I’m thinking The Shield is going to beat Brock down and we’re supposed to cheer three on one.

[BaconBits]

Baron just wanted to get his NXT buddy back on TV. Good guy Corbin.

[klunderbunker]

It's a bad sign when you have the "surprise" written up before Angle's music even finishes.

[BaconBits]

Braun is continuing to be a walking meme.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

What happened to Coach? Get his walking papers?

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Cripes Mahal looks like Great Khali next to Balor.

[klunderbunker]

What happened to Coach? Get his walking papers?

Nah. He also works for the Golf Channel and misses I think one Raw a month as a result.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

This first hour really dragged

[klunderbunker]

STOP DOING THAT SAME FREAKING CHINLOCK! Corbin did two of them in four minutes and Mahal has done two since we've been back from a break.

[Skairipa]

Nah. He also works for the Golf Channel and misses I think one Raw a month as a result.

He should stay there so Renee can stay on commentary.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

He should stay there so Renee can stay on commentary.

I agree, not a fan of Coach at the table. He should be where he was before, a GM stooge character.

[Skairipa]

I agree, not a fan of Coach at the table. He should be where he was before, a GM stooge character.

The word of the hour thing is annoying. That's the main reason I don't like him there.

[BaconBits]

There is nobody in wrestling history lamer than Shit Shittler.

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

If he is late from travel delays how do you know he is going to make it by the end of the night?

[klunderbunker]

If he is late from travel delays how do you know he is going to make it by the end of the night?

Shh! Don't point out how bad the writing is. We'll be here all day.

[klunderbunker]

I can go for a nice rib/Easter Egg name.

[klunderbunker]

It can't be that serious as he didn't do a vertical suplex.

[Skairipa]

Guess I didn't miss anything important with Elias and Lashley.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

That might be his new move, the one hand spinebuster.

[Skairipa]

According to Cole, Revival beat Hardy & Wyatt for the titles. Someone should tell B Team that.

[Skairipa]

Give us Revival vs B Team at Summerslam now.

[klunderbunker]

Give us Revival vs B Team at Summerslam now.

Nah. The card is already packed enough. Give us a breather for a change and don't add an unnecessary match.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Raw tag division is just nothing compared to SD that has 4 good/great teams.

[Skairipa]

"HERE COMES DA BIG DAWWWG!" God Cole, relax. It's not that exciting.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Roman has improved quite alot on the mic in the past year.

[shafe_41]

Roman has improved quite alot on the mic in the past year.

If you let dog shit sit idle for a year, it does stink less.

[BaconBits]

When Roman cuts a decent promo, the last thing they should do is send somebody who is significantly better than he is on the mic to banter with him. It’s one of their big problems with him.

[Skairipa]

So Roman turns down Heyman, only to accept him on Sunday? That'd be a good twist. But then again I don't believe it'll really happen.

[klunderbunker]

When Roman cuts a decent promo, the last thing they should do is send somebody who is significantly better than he is on the mic to banter with him. It’s one of their big problems with him.

Same thing happened last year with Cena. Reigns got crushed when they were together but he was good on his own.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

This is an interesting tidbit.

[shafe_41]

Brock is going to come put a beating on Roman isn't he?

[BaconBits]

Brock is going to come put a beating on Roman isn't he?

Doubtful that he does tonight, but I wouldnâ??t be surprised in the least if Brock goes over on Sunday.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Brock is thinning out so much he's starting to look like the bad guy from Avatar.

[BaconBits]

All that work to get people to boo Brock goes away the instant he shows up, lol.

[Skairipa]

The only way Roman wins Sunday is with a Shield reunion.

[shafe_41]

Brock is looking a little leaner than he did back in April.

[BaconBits]

Brock is looking a little leaner than he did back in April.

Gotta be at 265 in a few months. Crazy thing is, he’s still going to make Cormier look tiny at 265.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

The No Televised Entrance 3 minute match.

[BaconBits]

Lol what a shitty nothing match.

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

If that had been real pepper spray everyone in the front row would be beyond fucked lol

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

Gotta be at 265 in a few months. Crazy thing is, he’s still going to make Cormier look tiny at 265.

Cormier will come rolling in there with a gut down to his knees and still be giving up 25 pounds to Les lol

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Let's have a 6 man tag match and use only 4 wrestlers.

[shafe_41]

Cormier will come rolling in there with a gut down to his knees and still be giving up 25 pounds to Les lol


And still destroy Lesnar.

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

And still destroy Lesnar.

Not out of the question.

[Skairipa]

Just looked at what I missed when I went out for a minute, that 6 man tag sounds stupid and of course they had AOP and Mojo lose.

[shafe_41]

2nd best laugh in wrestling history right behind Ted DiBiase

[Skairipa]

Kinda figured that was coming, give Revival the belts already.

[shafe_41]

Not out of the question.

I just can't put any stock into a man that hasn't won a fight in eight years (discounting the last one of course).

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

I hope they give Miz and DB lots of time at SS. Same with AJ and Joe.

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Armdragging Rousey.

[BaconBits]

Cormier will come rolling in there with a gut down to his knees and still be giving up 25 pounds to Les lol

Funny thing about Cormier is that he should really be a middleweight.

[shafe_41]

I could get on board with Ruby if it wasn't for that damn chest tattoo.

[shafe_41]

I'd much rather Ambrose return and turn on Rollins immediately.

[shafe_41]

When did Fabio have a child in WWE?

[Skairipa]

Ambrose return incoming.

[Skairipa]

New look for Dean-O, it works for him. Makes him look a little crazier.

[klunderbunker]

He looks like a less muscular HHH.

[BaconBits]

Lol, Dean basically had to go to that look with as bad as his hairline is.

[shafe_41]

New look for Dean-O, it works for him. Makes him look a little crazier.

And much more of a heel look. He's practically Triple H Jr. It can't be long before he turns on Rollins.

[Skairipa]

And much more of a heel look. He's practically Triple H Jr. It can't be long before he turns on Rollins.

I said the same thing. Wouldn't be surprised if he helps Rollins wins then turns on him after the match or the next night.

[Jack-Hammer]

And much more of a heel look. He's practically Triple H Jr. It can't be long before he turns on Rollins.

"Triple H, Jr." is exactly the first thing that popped into my head when I saw him. When Ambrose first showed up as a member of the Shield, he had some muscle on him and it just slowly faded away over the years until Ambrose was at a point where he was downright scrawny looking. To look at him now, Ambrose looks like he's a solid 230 lbs. or so and that, plus doing away with the shaggy, unkempt greasy hair looks better on him and yeah, he definitely looks like a heel now. It might be best to just turn him heel at SummerSlam and be done with it.

Monday Night Raw
Date: August 13, 2018
Location: Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, North Carolina
Commentators: Michael Cole, Renee Young, Corey Graves

Now this should be an interesting one as Renee Young will be the first woman to do a full night of commentary on Raw. We’re also in WCW country and it’s the go home show for Summerslam. It’s hard to say what we’ll be seeing tonight as it’s not clear if Brock Lesnar will be around or not (I wouldn’t get my hopes up). Let’s get to it.
