RAW 1/14 - Triple Threat IC Championship

[smarkmouth]

Nothing symbolizes the new era better than Vince arriving in a limo.

[BaconBits]

Vince is legit star power in an era of vanilla midgets, so there’s that.

[smarkmouth]

Fair point.

[BaconBits]

Braun is such a bad promo still. Giants should pretty much just grunt a lot.

[BaconBits]

Jesus, the Singhs don’t even have to work a match to eat shit.

[BaconBits]

Please tell me they’re not going to try the monster vs the Authority bullshit with Braun.

[smarkmouth]

Jesus, the Singhs don’t even have to work a match to eat shit.


Well at least there's two people on the roster they know how to write to the strengths of. Hey-o!

[Sufferin' Succotash]

Braun showing Samoa Joe levels of delusion. "Brock fears me. I have Brock's number... Blah blah"

Both lost to Lesnar multiple times.

[BaconBits]

Wonder who is going to wrestle Brock at the Rumble now? I vote for Tyler Breeze.

[Skairipa]

Thank god Tamina isn't gonna main event another Raw.

[Spidey]

Curiosity made me hit up Raw. First person I see is Tamina. Not the best start.

[BaconBits]

Yeah, it’s not a good look.

[smarkmouth]

Geeze, picture-in-picture ads for movies now. M. NIGHT SHAMALAN MOVIES!

[klunderbunker]

Egads really with the inset commercials?

[smarkmouth]

"We learned Ronda isn't the only person with a submission move around here." Geeze Cole, do you watch RAW?

[BaconBits]

This is cringy.

[Skairipa]

This is a pretty solid interaction between Sasha and Ronda.

[#AbsoluteUnit]

"We learned Ronda isn't the only person with a submission move around here." Geeze Cole, do you watch RAW?

That was odd.

[Skairipa]

Ugh go away Lawler nobody wants you and your terrible jokes around.

[smarkmouth]

Ewww! EWWWW!

[Spidey]

So this is the payoff we've waited for on a heel Sasha Banks? She's mad that Rousey wants to win the match they knew about beforehand?

[BaconBits]

Jesus, this just as cringy.

[smarkmouth]

Natalya and Bayley at odds with the Riot Squad.

Neeeeeew ERA!

[BaconBits]

The LHP is missing their fourth member, Juan Cena.

[BaconBits]

Natalya and Bayley at odds with the Riot Squad.

Neeeeeew ERA!

Not as new as The Revival vs. LHP.

[Spidey]

We Want Juanito

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

Holy shit EC3

[Skairipa]

So EC3 is on Raw, good choice. Also Slater for Brock's new opponent and new Universal Champion please. He needs revenge for that F5 he got when he was a free agent just trying to be a good dad and provide for his kids.

[BaconBits]

I could go for a returning Bray Wyatt vs Brock. Just end the match with some fuckery and nobody loses any momentum.

[Spidey]

Thank you for clarifying that was EC3, guys. May have been subtle or something to just leave it alone and build up the mystery.

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

My god, man.

Glass had better have paid them a lot

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU NEW!!

......out comes Cena

[BaconBits]

Itâ??s gonna end up being a four way, and whoever comes out next is eating the F5 and pin.

[Skairipa]

It’s gonna end up being a four way, and whoever comes out next is eating the F5 and pin.

Well if these 3 are the opponents then yeah you're probably got that call right.

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

It’s gonna end up being a four way, and whoever comes out next is eating the F5 and pin.

On cue, here comes Baron Corbin

[BaconBits]

The smiling dork isn’t doing shit with Lesnar.

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

HERE COMES TEDDY LONG, A TAG MATCH PLAYA

[Spidey]

I was hoping Drew would remind Vince that he was his Chosen One :'(

[Skairipa]

Just give Drew the belt at Rumble and let Brock fuck off to UFC forever.

[BaconBits]

Just give Drew the belt at Rumble and let Brock fuck off to UFC forever.

Getting rid of one of the only two legitimate stars on the roster makes zero financial sense.

[smarkmouth]

"Let me show you what I can do, Vince." Punches Baron twice, gets KO'd.

Seriously though, count me in for Balor/Brock. Brock works great matches with smaller guys.

[smarkmouth]

Wait, what? Did they cancel the fatal four way to book Jinder vs Finn?

[klunderbunker]

Go to the Royal Rumble? I thought it was a four way for the shot at Lesnar. Did I miss something?

[smarkmouth]

Vince and/or Jinder must have flubbed a line there.

Also, Nikki Cross! YAY!

[Spidey]

Booking is only a concept, a social construct you see.

Speaking of chaos, NIKKI!!

[smarkmouth]

Nikki should fight Brock.

[smarkmouth]

Go to the Royal Rumble? I thought it was a four way for the shot at Lesnar. Did I miss something?
WWE's Twitter spins the segment as "If Jinder beats Finn, he's in the Fatal Four Way"

My fantasy pool lineup has pleased me greatly tonight.

That's what I was expecting, and it all but guarantees Balor gets his shot.

[smarkmouth]

Cole doesn't know what brand Nikki Cross is on. Blurred lines are the first sign of the brand split fading away, as it was before.

[Spidey]

Lacey Evans! Earn me points soon, k?

[smarkmouth]

Finn's about to go to Royal Rumble, AND he found Carmen Sandiego!

[Skairipa]

Cole doesn't know what brand Nikki Cross is on. Blurred lines are the first sign of the brand split fading away, as it was before.

He said the new NXT call ups will be on both brands at first to give people a chance to see what they can do. Or something like that. I'm guessing the real reason is give a little spark to both shows for a few weeks before giving them feuds.

[smarkmouth]

Ah, gotcha.

[smarkmouth]

My dudes Lio and Bobby both have some red eyes right now.

[Spidey]

Is Glass part of that Saudi deal?

[Wildcat66]

I can buy Bobby Lashley as I.C champion.

[Skairipa]

Lashley winning was so damn random. But they've fucked up heel Ambrose and made him a germaphobe so I guess this might be better.

[Spidey]

"She was asking for it."

[Spidey]

Seriously though, the fuck?

[smarkmouth]

"She was asking for it."

WAIT WHAT? What did I miss?!

[Spidey]

WAIT WHAT? What did I miss?!

Guy (Idk his name) knocked on Bliss's door and called out to her. Does it again. Nothing. Slowly opens the door to call for her again. Nada. Comes in and Alexa Bliss is topless. She's mad. Tells him to get out. End scene.

Not sure how else that segment was meant to be read.

[Skairipa]

Women's Tag belts look good. That whole segment was very weird though.

[Spidey]

I just missed it, and the quote you shared had me a little jarred when I had no context.

[Spidey]

Ah Corbin. Now this is the Main Event we came to see.

[smarkmouth]

Regardless of the outcome of this match I think I have more Fantasy Pool points than I did all of last season. :lmao:

[#AbsoluteUnit]

You suck Smark!!!

Monday Night Raw
Date: January 14, 2019
Location: FedExForum, Memphis, Tennessee
Commentators: Michael Cole, Renee Young, Corey Graves

We’re getting closer and closer to the Royal Rumble and as long as we don’t have anything like last week’s Braun Strowman vs. Brock Lesnar fiasco, I should be fine. The problem is Strowman might not be fine, as his recovery from elbow surgery isn’t done yet, meaning he might not be able to compete at the pay per view. Let’s get to it.

Balor, you're dope. However, I hope you survive against Lesnar.

[Spidey]

Oh right Lashley is one of mine. Yeah boi
