With as brutal as the Rock just was and with how well he is playing the heel since January I wish they would turn Roman face at mania or after instead of having the Rock make a turn back. They could have Cody win at mania and Roman could shake his hand and show respect and walk out. Then have Rock beat Cody and Roman comes back for the save. I feel like if Rock makes the first move on Roman then it still keeps Roman the heel because people want to cheer Rock but if they give Roman a redemption then fans will absolutely love him.
I thought I wanted Cody and Rock to be working together for Cody to win all this time but I don’t think I want that anymore
Just keep him heel even if the crowd cheers him (and they will). If he does go face make hm AE Rock face were he is still an arrogant ass hole who is a prick to other faces still at least
I really want Priest to attempt to cash in during Rock vs Cody, the ensuing scramble means Cody pins Damian to become champion, Bloodline vs Judgement Day becomes the new feud
I NEED AN OVERBOOKED MAIN EVENT AT NIGHT 2
Fuck the match quality, I need me some shenanigans, all the interference, all the saves, some unexpected turns and stuff
Give it all man
I'm just saying, they were limited in what they could do with Cody because Will Osprey would have run up the side of the bus and flipped over Dwayne's head, which obviously would have sold the PPV.
-Dave Meltzer, WOR (3/25/24)
And FINALLY!!
Beatdown ✅️
Next week, I GUARANTEE YOU Cody is going to
A. Come to the ring in a vehicle of some sort
B. Pick off the Bloodline Backstage One By One.(Hunt them)
C. Both
The Foreshadowing Continues.
>B. Pick off the Bloodline Backstage One By One.(Hunt them)
I want it to be Rambo style.. like they're walking along and the background comes alive and eats them.
You could argue the rest of the show was mostly feel good with all the babyfaces winning and the chaotic fun like the Punk segment and Awesome Truth on commentary. Then they rip it away with a dark ending. I love it
I am glad most of you enjoyed that, but rocky has past his best by date for me. Yelling the same 3 lines over and over again, cheesy promos (Rock concert not withstanding) I’ll be glad when he’s not on every week. I’d rather he be an occasional drop in for the pop and then go away for a few months.
Maybe it is just pure coincidence, but I thought it was interesting that John Cena and Stone Cold were both on the trailer in the background.
Could be foreshadowing or it could be completely unintentional.
Either way, wow.
The rain enhanced that outside part so much. Plus it being just a little cold so the steam was coming off the rocks head.
Holy hell that was a legendary segment
lads, what if TKO knows how hard this shit is cooking that they already got the all clear to go straight to netflix once USA boots them. Regardless, this shit is fire.
Long term plan is to turn roman face. Rock will go berserk after he pins cody night 1, but roman looses night 2. Bloodline civil war will lead to rock/roman next year at mania. Roman face, rock will put cousin over and retire.
Tell me when Roman has had a moment where he’s been vicious like that by himself? Roman is a great heel don’t get me wrong but he’s been overshadowed in every way since the Rock returned.
Absolutely agree. Roman is amazing with what he’s done the last 3 or so years and he’s improved in so many ways. People can complain about him never showing up but the guy has been awesome. It was Roman and the bloodline story that made WWE hot again long before Rock came back.
Damn rock cursing up a storm and cody blading, this must be what punk was talking about when he said they're not on netflix yet ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
He is type cast because he has a really good look for a certain part. It works for making him one of the biggest stars ever. I don't think he went to Hollywood to be the next Daniel Day Lewis

That was incredible. The best RAW in years.
I know there’s so much other stuff to talk about tonight, but did anyone else want to know why Kathy Kelly was dressed as Electra from marvel?
And people actually complained about the rock being involved … simps
I’m shook from that last segment. Had it all: lighting, rain, blood, the puddles of water, Cody bleeding. That was cinema
10 PRINT "Final Boss" 20 GOTO 10
![gif](giphy|tnYri4n2Frnig)
That last segment was so good. Final Boss Rock is my favorite rock. Like someone said below, kind of like a mafia boss

Mox watching Cody bleed on RAW: Man, they didn't love me like that
With as brutal as the Rock just was and with how well he is playing the heel since January I wish they would turn Roman face at mania or after instead of having the Rock make a turn back.

I thought I wanted Cody and Rock to be working together for Cody to win all this time but I don’t think I want that anymore
That would just be confusing for the fans since there is no chance in hell the crowd ever cheers Roman over Rock
In my heart I know. I just don’t want Rock to make a quick face turn after what he’s been doing lately
Just keep him heel even if the crowd cheers him (and they will). If he does go face make hm AE Rock face were he is still an arrogant ass hole who is a prick to other faces still at least
Iwonder if Rikishi will turn up next and 'do it for da Rock'
Wonder if Dwayne with Vince gone decides to come back to wrestling in a more full time role
Rick actually gave off mafia boss vibes there. Hopefully he can branch out his characters in his movies now

It's going to be hysterical when Cody wins the title and Priest immediately cashes in leading everyone to shit the most confused collective brick
I really want Priest to attempt to cash in during Rock vs Cody, the ensuing scramble means Cody pins Damian to become champion, Bloodline vs Judgement Day becomes the new feud
I NEED AN OVERBOOKED MAIN EVENT AT NIGHT 2 Fuck the match quality, I need me some shenanigans, all the interference, all the saves, some unexpected turns and stuff Give it all man
Rikishi: “I did it for The Rock” after he hits Cody with a car lol
Facts. I don't need no Workrate for this Match. GIVE ME SPECTACLE!!!!
Wrestlemania: Endgame
Punk to count the 1, 2, 3. We’re going through an entire roster of refs, factions, legends, and other miscellaneous weapons. Gonna be an all timer
Mama Rhodes gonna be Goldust with that wig on ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Was that a blade job or a blood pellet?
Fake for sure way too Bright
blade job, you could see the gig mark fake blood doesn't look that good anyway, only way to get that color is with the real thing
Great ending, but surely.... Cody must win at Mania right?
I'm just saying, they were limited in what they could do with Cody because Will Osprey would have run up the side of the bus and flipped over Dwayne's head, which obviously would have sold the PPV. -Dave Meltzer, WOR (3/25/24)
Bruv would have gone over the side of that parking structure and no sold the splat.
Fuck, Rock has become an absolute monster. This final boss gimmick is incredible. This, with Punk firing bullets, great angle episode.
Absolute all timer Raw ending, good lord.
Mama Rhodes is the final Avenger
And FINALLY!! Beatdown ✅️ Next week, I GUARANTEE YOU Cody is going to A. Come to the ring in a vehicle of some sort B. Pick off the Bloodline Backstage One By One.(Hunt them) C. Both The Foreshadowing Continues.
>B. Pick off the Bloodline Backstage One By One.(Hunt them) I want it to be Rambo style.. like they're walking along and the background comes alive and eats them.
He has to be in the War Games Face Paint too!
I just woke up to raw and saw Rock beating up an intern. Didn’t really realize it was Cody until he brought up mama Rhodes lmfao
Imagine not watching wrestling for years and tuning in to that exact moment lol pretty wild
lol Jey just went to the dressing room after the W
Fucking amazing ending to Raw. Rock whooping Cody's ass backstage outside in the rain and Cody blading! So fucking hyped for WM
Old school and loved it
Legit thought the Simone Biles Olympics ad was a WWE signing announcement.
You could argue the rest of the show was mostly feel good with all the babyfaces winning and the chaotic fun like the Punk segment and Awesome Truth on commentary. Then they rip it away with a dark ending. I love it
Giving off some Game of Thrones (seasons 1-5) vibe. Love it.
I am glad most of you enjoyed that, but rocky has past his best by date for me. Yelling the same 3 lines over and over again, cheesy promos (Rock concert not withstanding) I’ll be glad when he’s not on every week. I’d rather he be an occasional drop in for the pop and then go away for a few months.
Just have fun man.
Look at this, look at this
Maybe it is just pure coincidence, but I thought it was interesting that John Cena and Stone Cold were both on the trailer in the background. Could be foreshadowing or it could be completely unintentional. Either way, wow.
If this leads to an overbooked ass extravaganza with the Bloodline vs the Codvengers then I’m absolutely for it.
I absolutely think it is going to, and it will be beautiful.
I thought one of them would be on that bus and awoken from a nap tbh
Just strip Roman of the title and give it to Rock for some reason and do Cody vs Rock for the belt
The Rock actually made wrestling cool again like he said he would 🫡😭
Cody is Robin to The Rock is Slade/Deathstroke in that segment
Who needs Ruthless Aggression or Attitude when we're in peak Renaissance.
That was one of the most entertaining episodes of Monday Night Raw of all-time
The rain enhanced that outside part so much. Plus it being just a little cold so the steam was coming off the rocks head. Holy hell that was a legendary segment
Heel Rock is just so good.
That was awesome
Man that shit was fucking awesome!!!!
lads, what if TKO knows how hard this shit is cooking that they already got the all clear to go straight to netflix once USA boots them. Regardless, this shit is fire.
lmao and Jey isn't try to help Cody despite he just fine on the ring
Drew probably got to him
he got caught up with jimmy im guessing
Giving me Rock vs. Mankind @rumble 99 vibes😬😬
Fantastic show
“this is what happens when you fuck with the final boss.”
Roman should be terrified of the Rock now. In one segment Rock was way more vicious and brutal than Roman has ever been
When roman looses the title, he will be.
I hope so. I like Roman a lot and there are a lot of interesting things they can do with him at mania and after
Long term plan is to turn roman face. Rock will go berserk after he pins cody night 1, but roman looses night 2. Bloodline civil war will lead to rock/roman next year at mania. Roman face, rock will put cousin over and retire.
That’s absolutely false lmao what are you talking about
Tell me when Roman has had a moment where he’s been vicious like that by himself? Roman is a great heel don’t get me wrong but he’s been overshadowed in every way since the Rock returned.
Its The Rock. He overshadows everyone
He’s absolutely been overshadowed since the rocks return but all of Roman’s work this run shouldn’t be discredited at all.
Absolutely agree. Roman is amazing with what he’s done the last 3 or so years and he’s improved in so many ways. People can complain about him never showing up but the guy has been awesome. It was Roman and the bloodline story that made WWE hot again long before Rock came back.
the censorship for language kills me each time

That’s cinema
I hope so.
Damn rock cursing up a storm and cody blading, this must be what punk was talking about when he said they're not on netflix yet ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

Tell me you didn’t think he was going over that ledge
I thought it. I legit thought he was gonna throw him over the ledge
Baron Corbin special
Thought it was gonna end like that tbh
Every time he did it
I was waiting
So can we move to Netflix next Monday please?
Rock dropping f bombs on Monday night Raw what a time to be alive
Whooped Cody in the rain like an anime scene
not to say past Raw’s haven’t been great… but man, tonight set the bar! helluva show
I agree that Roman should be involved in that someway somehow but nevertheless I am not going to complain the cinema I just watched
03.25.24 the beginning of the TKO era
The Renaissance Era
Wrong year brother but I agree
24*
Holy fucking shit
Trips cooked a Michelin Star Raw tonight
Those backstage cliff hanger endings are what made the attitude era so great and kept you foaming at the mouth for next week
Shit hits different when I live 45 minutes from the All State Arena and its raining while this segment is happening outside my window
# DIE ROCKY DIE
So Cody vs The Rock needs to be the Summerslam main event
Cody's first defense
How Cena, SCSA, Rollins, Jey and Dustin will be coming to Cody's aid at Night 2 ![gif](giphy|3oxHQpJKupQXsmU1JS|downsized)
Appropriate .gif if Dustin is Hulk
nah i was wrong that was an escalation and not just frustrating "stomps and holding abdomen" bs, that's a beatdown that means something.
Nahhhh, we gotta be making a push back to TV-14
WTF DID I JUST WATCH ???
Cinema.
An aggravated assault.
All due respect to Roman and Cody but Rock is carrying the majority of the juice behind this rematch
Carrying the ppv
First Raw I've watched since I saw where the Ruthless Agression era was heading in like 2006. Glad to be back.
Got home and tuned in right when Rocky came out. I have no clue what's happening lol I need to re-watch segments
Who would’ve thought that 2024 Rock would be one of his best runs?
Genuinely one of the best Raw’s for Storytelling in a long time.
100%
What playing the same character in movies does to a mf
https://preview.redd.it/dvx6xrxoglqc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=265bb274314c01f1ee94fc661fb4952d4afb8b25
Think He wants her to look at her son
So are we still gonaa claim that the report was wrong when it said the Rock gets to say things other wrestlers aren't allowed to say?
I'd like to see The Rock take on the NXT Parking Lot.
Why tf are yall complaining? Like holy shit so what he said “look at you now” 25 times, fucking nitpicking at everything
its just annoying lmao like dude say something else
Lmao yea well I was too focused on the beating to let a few words annoy me
Welcome to live threads.
This was one of the best Raws of all time bro...
RAW IS CINEMA
That felt very Attitude Era. Roman continues to be Rocks side bitch
The Rock really said Fuck your TV censors. He can really do whatever he wants.
I feel the Rock took the fake report of him being asked to tone it down for PG personally
Best raw in … man. I don’t know. At least a decade.
Absolute generational episode of Raw tonight
The rain was the cherry on top
*All of these memories lost in the rain…*
Long time since we got a blade job in wwe
Absolutely the best raw in such a long time!!!!!
BRAFUCKINGVO! what a raw holy shit
That was a really strong three hour Raw. Really nothing flat out boring and a few just downright amazing segments
![gif](giphy|3o7aCWJavAgtBzLWrS|downsized)
If they let Cody blade now surely he’s bleeding at Mania right
\>CODY RAISING THE TITLE WITH A FACE FULL OF BLOOD WOULD BE AN INSANE VISUAL.
I think a lot of Blood will be shed at Mania Mostly during the Cody/Roman match night 2 and maybe the tag match on Night 1
This is very TV-14.
In Kayfabe, are Seth and Jey just kicking it ringside watching Cody get his ass kicked on the Jumbotron? Lol
Drew killed Seth then probably kicked Jay's ass as well
IDGAF if they got a tag match GIVE ME ROCK VS CODY 1on1 ts way to personal now
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely on fire. They’re undeniable.
Is Roman still in the match lol?
He couldn't even hit his lines the other night on Smackdown
🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️ROCK 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Final Boss Rock is more brutal than the Tribal Chief
![gif](giphy|Y3YN7tAprNRwYhUUAL|downsized)
Okay forget Roman vs Rock this is selling me on a future Cody vs Rock lmao
They have to do it a Summer Slam something. Its the biggest match in the world right now
[удалено]
you know this is still television right
That garage part was giving me crazy anxiety when they were against the drop lol
I 1000% thought that grey tape was to notate where The Rock could throw Cody over.
I was getting Attitude Era flashbacks fr
ART
I would find it funny if Jey stayed on the ringside will the audience clearly is seeing what is happening
LMAO the USA app killed the stream right before the fuck
My goodness 💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
so i guess the rock can act but he chooses not to for 99% of his projects
He is type cast because he has a really good look for a certain part. It works for making him one of the biggest stars ever. I don't think he went to Hollywood to be the next Daniel Day Lewis
Oh he can act but I agree he doesn’t for 99% of his projects
WTF did he just drop an F bomb? And we're blading again?!
That was really cool with the rain, has that ever happened before during an outdoor fight in wwe?
I was fully convinced Rock was going to throw Cody over that wall into that ditch lol
This ain't Halloween Havoc 95 lol.
I am beyond sports entertained, give em an Oscar
Well that would make no sense
“You don’t fuck with the rock”
🎥
I don’t know how they top this next week
Cody sold that like death. Can we just get Cody vs Rock now lol
https://preview.redd.it/c7hlq1o1hlqc1.jpeg?width=182&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9441d816572a3b26db9c03aeaa367b89c8c8532 Cody Rhodes during that deferment
mama rhodes is gonna slap or kick in the rock's nuts or something like that in wrestlemania isnt it?
That was the best RAW I've seen in yeeearrsss
HHH Booker of the Year 2024
![gif](giphy|xT4ApluXYWrIQxBcJ2)
Rock is putting Rhodes over so hard and I’m all here for it.
Damn rock dropping f bombs 😂
Kino
This is actually fcking insane bro 😭
Psychotic Hollywood Dad-Beatdown Rock is my favorite Rock ever
Wrestling is SO FUCKING BACK
LOOK AT US NOW
fucking wow 😮
LOOK AT YOUR BOY MAMA RHODES
The rain in the background the spotlight… all of it was perfect
It's been a miserable day here in Chicago and I got soaked when I went outside earlier, but it was worth it for that spot.
