RAW 9/10: Thank fuck Coach is gone.

[BaconBits]

And theyâ??re opening with this thrown togeher heel shit. Meh.

[smarkmouth]

It's a shame that a pier six brawl has been reduced to a single digit in RAW's paint-by-numbers creative process.

[smarkmouth]

Why, why would Kevin help Braun?

[BaconBits]

KO helping Braun is the dumbest shit they’ve done this year.

[BaconBits]

What they’re doing is making everybody on the roster that’s not in the Shield heel so you have to cheer Roman. It’s so ridiculously obvious.

[smarkmouth]

Yeah, terribly transparent. Face-Shield doesn't help so much either.

[smarkmouth]

Shit, custom tees? About time.

[smarkmouth]

Brie Bella don't give no fucks about brands.

[smarkmouth]

Referee Darrick Moore is the funniest ref in WWE. He has resting-concerned face.

[BaconBits]

I wonder if Renee gagged after she was told to lick Bella butthole.

[Skairipa]

Jesus christ the commentary during that match was annoying and pathetic. I think they spent the entire match praising The Bellas for how great they are rather than calling the match. I can't wait until we're past Evolution so they can go away again and stop pretending they care about wrestling at all.

[smarkmouth]

That kid in the middle is HUGE!

Evolution is going to be the biggest circle jerk in professional wrestling history.

[smarkmouth]

Oh boy, Steph's going to call the event, isn't she?

[BaconBits]

I wonder how much they paid Marvel for that Punisher hoodie.

[shafe_41]

Every one of those kids is infinitely tougher and cooler than me.

[BaconBits]

Every one of those kids is infinitely tougher and cooler than me.

This is true.

[smarkmouth]

Damn the internet for cyberbullying Rockstar Spud out of his AoP vest.

[BaconBits]

Trips reaction to the cops vs Shield thing is basically my spirit animal at this point.

[Skairipa]

Best thing about Spud being the manager for AOP is they finally use the Super Collider as their finisher instead of The Last Chapter.

He also makes them look even more massive than they already are.

[shafe_41]

It's a shame Dana Brooke is so terrible on the mic. I think she would have been a really interesting choice for AoP manager.

[BaconBits]

I feel bad for Dana. She was called up way, way too early. First victim of Charlotteâ??s reign of terror.

[smarkmouth]

Couldn't Triple H have shared that segment with Mick Foley?

[shafe_41]

I feel bad for Dana. She was called up way, way too early. First victim of Charlotte’s reign of terror.

Yep... that fruit was picked way before it was ripe.

[BaconBits]

Starting to think all this Trips/Taker/Shawn stuff is going to lead to DX vs. The Brothers of Destruction at Mania, and it’ll be the last match ever for all 4.

[smarkmouth]

I'm thinking Shield costs Ziggler and McIntyre here.

[Skairipa]

Starting to think all this Trips/Taker/Shawn stuff is going to lead to DX vs. The Brothers of Destruction at Mania, and it’ll be the last match ever for all 4.

Nah probably leading to a match in Saudi Arabia later this year when they do another pointless show over there.

[BaconBits]

Nah probably leading to a match in Saudi Arabia later this year when they do another pointless show over there.

It makes them a fuckload of money. There is nothing pointless about it.

[smarkmouth]

The peppy trumpets in the B-Team theme probably bother Ziggler more than he'd like to admit.

[shafe_41]

Starting to think all this Trips/Taker/Shawn stuff is going to lead to DX vs. The Brothers of Destruction at Mania, and it’ll be the last match ever for all 4.

I thought Foley was going to be in the ring with Triple H. And that would have lead to DX vs. Taker/Foley at Mania. Foley always said how he credits Triple H with ending his career with the battles they had. Taker ended Shawns. But then you have the battles Shawn and Triple H had. The battles Foley and Taker had. Mix all that together and you have something I think would be pretty interesting. Just a big star-studded tag match to sell some tickets and essentially protects everybody. They all get to play their greatest hits like Taker did at Mania this year and everybody goes home happy.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

Creative-wise it's pretty pointless, but that doesn't mean anything.

[shafe_41]

Nah probably leading to a match in Saudi Arabia later this year when they do another pointless show over there.

Yeah I agree with Bacon. They get a reported $45M for each show over there. There's nothing pointless about that type of money. I'd go over there and lick the sand off the Sultan's shoes for a month for $45M.

[BaconBits]

Creative-wise it's pretty pointless, but that doesn't mean anything.

They worked the main event of the Saudi show into their main storyline last year. Theyâ??ll probably do the same this year.

[smarkmouth]

Bo's got a hell of a hot tag sequence, I have to say,

[smarkmouth]

Remember when Baron said "If the SHIELD got involved, balh blah blah, arresting arresting?" Well, I didn't see tactical vests.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

They worked the main event of the Saudi show into their main storyline last year. They’ll probably do the same this year.

I forgot about that. Although it's probably best to try to forget about that feud.

[Skairipa]

Remember when Baron said "If the SHIELD got involved, balh blah blah, arresting arresting?" Well, I didn't see tactical vests.

Yeah that'll be the excuse to keep the IC Title on Seth and somehow give Rollins and Ambrose a title match on Sunday.

[BestSportsEntertainer]

The story of Kevin Owens quitting had a lot of potential, so of course they had him return the next week to set up a feud with Lashley.

[smarkmouth]

Kevin Owens; he hasn't quit!

New T-shirt idea.

[BaconBits]

This is stupid clapclapclap

[BaconBits]

Weirdest transition ever Kevin.

[shafe_41]

Do they just take good ideas for Owens and then just say "Yeah... no thanks.?"

Owens quits... awesome. Back the next week... dumb.
Owens says he's going to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants... awesome. Blames Bobby Lashley... dumb.

[smarkmouth]

Dammit Kevin, you couldn't have let the bell ring first? I want my pool points!

[BaconBits]

I like how the commentary team all forgot KO has stroke with Trips and Steph.

Get your continuity off of this page.

[shafe_41]

Bobby Roode now comes out to crickets. :( :(:( :( :( :(

[smarkmouth]

3/4 matches tonight have been tag team matches. We also still have Ronda/Nattie vs Bliss/James.

[Skairipa]

So we're gonna get a Roode and Gable feud out of this, and soon I'm guessing.

[BaconBits]

Bobby Roode now comes out to crickets. :( :(:( :( :( :(

Because his face character is super fucking lame.

[BaconBits]

Christ, the Shield is going to hold all three belts.

[smarkmouth]

Dolph Ziggler looks like a pumpkin spice latte.

[shafe_41]

Because his face character is super fucking lame.

Oh undoubtedly. But at least people popped for the theme song before. Nobody even gives a shit about that anymore.

[shafe_41]

Dolph Ziggler looks like a pumpkin spice latte.

And judging by his reputation, he's also been in as many female's mouths as a pumpkin spice latte as well.

[BaconBits]

Oh undoubtedly. But at least people popped for the theme song before. Nobody even gives a shit about that anymore.

If there ain’t any substance beyond the theme, the reactions tend to die off.

[BaconBits]

And judging by his reputation, he's also been in as many female's mouths as a pumpkin spice latte as well.

He dated Amy Schumer. Man clearly has no standards.

[Skairipa]

Nice little tribute to the anvil there from Nattie (and Ronda).

[smarkmouth]

We're building for Nattie to get the hot tag? That's a choice.

[smarkmouth]

nope nvm.

[BaconBits]

What a shit segment.

[BaconBits]

Let’s face check that Ronda....

[Skairipa]

Why did they need to have Foley in this segment to announce him being the guest ref for Roman vs Braun?

[smarkmouth]

Bob Ross got angry in old age.

[smarkmouth]

Foley as the ref is a nice touch, but it doesn't quite click.

[smarkmouth]

Fuck, every match was long enough for a commercial when only about one of them should have been.

[Skairipa]

I guess Lio Rush is following in Drake Maverick's footsteps and becoming a manager on RAW.

[smarkmouth]

205 Live is becoming the Manager division.

[smarkmouth]

Tozawa managing Nia Jax.
Buddy Murphy managing Nakamura.
Gulak managing Bray Wyatt (obviously).

[BaconBits]

This is gross.

[smarkmouth]

This is gross.

I reiterate; paint by numbers creative process.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

I'm still not pumped for HIAC this Sunday.

[smarkmouth]

How could you be? They're too busy hyping SSD.

Monday Night Raw
Date: September 10, 2018
Location: Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, Louisiana
Commentators: Renee Young, Michael Cole, Corey Graves

It’s the go home show for Hell in a Cell, though I’m not sure how much attention that is going to get since we’re about a month away from Super Show-Down and a month and a half away from Evolution. WWE doesn’t seem to mind about going that far into the future so Sunday might not get the most attention. Let’s get to it.
