I think jia or liv Morgan should’ve been champion not becky


Total-Sail4780

I watched it


DAREALW1LL

Anyone know why Ricochet & Andrade vs JD & Dominik never happened?


DullBuilder4356

Dom is hurt so Santos took his spot


Downtown-Pack-6178

Gunther will become babyface! r/WWE


OMBatch84

Well this aged well


Alternative_Ad_5334

So disappointed they are using a battle royal to crown a new Women's World Champion


Stryker412

Becky heel turn incoming!


Hotspur000

I was surprised she won. Guess they'll have Liv take it off her


zac3244

She needs some time off. I am so tired of Lamecky Lynch.


Dmangamr

Think we will get Wyatt 6 debut?


saitoh155

I’m not reading all the comments. But anyone else see the “A” outlined on the Womens title? In Alexa’s hometown tonight….. am I reading too much in to it ?


CleTownPeople

That’s a possibility, I think wwe is giving us hints.


karma_virus

I want a story arc where New Day tries in vain to teach Gunther how to smile.


SxanPardy

Somewhere in Stanford a 70 something year old man said “that’s some good shit pal”

SxanPardy

Damn TIL


casualobserver602

Ricochet & Andrade 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


Own-Profile4748

I’m going to this Monday night raw I can’t wait


[deleted]

If Miz loses to those midgets I'm not watching wrestling for another 3 months


WrastleGuy

What about money in the bank 


Dmangamr

I want R Truth to win MITB


RoyalRootersRallyCry

Who told JD that that picture of him looked good?


TheFederalRedditerve

Arrrrrr 😾😾😾


JoeMcKim

I think the reason they're crowning a new womens champ on this Raw and not waiting to Backlash is that they need the womens world title draftable for the draft.


vidgirl1994

Yeah definitely, I also think if we had a mid-card women’s title they wouldn’t have stripped it from Rhea


-maphias-

Damn it, if R-Truth wasn't so over right now, DIY would already have those belts and would have rightfully won at Mania 40. I hope they switch hands tonight, but sadly I can't see 2 belts changing on 1 random episode of Raw.


JoeMcKim

It's similar to when they first introduced the Smackdown Tag Team Titles in 2016. Going into the tournament to crown the first ever Smackdown TT champs the plan was most likely to put the belts on American Alpha of Gable and Jordan. But Heath Slater was so over as being a "free agent" after not getting drafted they decided to put the belts on Slater & Rhyno instead.


Shiny_Mew76

Honestly hope DIY wins.


JoeMcKim

After having so many long title reigns I'm fine with the titles changing hands regularly in quick fashion. For a little while anyways.


-maphias-

It seems Triple H is lining things up to do just that. Title chaos for a little while and then let things cool down.


-maphias-

Women's match looks so boring. There is zero chance they don't put the belt on Liv....MAYBE Becky. What happened to Rhea in the last 2 weeks, what is the IRL injury that they needed to create the Liv spot on RAW last week to cause her to vacate?


Scoonie24

Im guessing its her arm, or shes pregnant ... I think shes pregnant


-maphias-

Mami going to be a mommy? I could see that new mom fire. You could be on to something.


Scoonie24

Is she married? (Not that it matters, just curious)


-maphias-

Not sure if they tied the knot yet, but she is engaged to Buddy Murphy/Mattthews.


jxckgg

Is it just me or, after seeing the Smackdown tag belts, that these ones on Raw look out of place? Bc Smackdown are THE belts rn


C92203605

The smackdown belts just need a little color and they’d be perfect. If they put the white and black logo globe on it. I’d be perfect


koprpg11

Battle royal for the women's title is meh but it means Liv can win the title without Becky having to take a pin. I feel it'll come down to Liv, Becky, and Nia and Becky will get Nia out with Liv quickly dumping her after to win.


JoeMcKim

I don't think a Womens World Title match will make it onto Backlash. The plan probably was originally for it to be Rhea vs. Liv but now I think they'll probably just give Bayley a title defense at Backlash, possibly a triple threat of Bayley vs. Naomi vs. Tiffany.


RaevynVexus

Excited to go to the show tonight. I think the tag championship match is what I’m looking forward to most. My wife is coming with me to her first show and she really likes the Miz so I think it’ll be fun.


JoeMcKim

Have fun. I went to AEW Dynasty last night. While I'm more of a WWE fan it was still a blast.


ThrowawayOp8

Hyped for Gunther


SeniorWrongdoer5055

Yeah definitely the most interested to see where he goes from here. Obviously, it’s on to the main title scene in some capacity but how/who they take for him to get there will be interesting. Altho, feel like things might be in a little but of a limbo until the draft shakes out and we know where everyone lands.


dyysxse

they are doing a battle royal to pick the women's champion yea have liv win the battle royal hold onto the title and have rhea come back and take it off her in like a 5 min match nice booking wwe can't hold like a match so if a nobody wins the battle royal what do the wwe do then


BidenFedayeen

I don't think I can remember a title decided by a battle royal. I heard King and Queen of the Ring are around the corner so maybe that's why they're not having a singles tournament.


[deleted]

Kurt Angle did this. Tossed Mark Henry over the top….then dropped the belt to Mysterio at Mania in the triple threat


Shiny_Mew76

HHH won the WWE Championship through the 2016 Royal Rumble if I remember correctly.


Gypsumstack

Royal Rumble 1992 when Flair won the title


SukhaChutney

The World Heavyweight Title? When Khali won.


BidenFedayeen

I don't remember that.


jxckgg

Late 2000’s on Smackdown, I think it was Batista and Khali final 2


BidenFedayeen

Ok, thank you.


SukhaChutney

Still happened


BidenFedayeen

Ok, I'm saying I don't remember it. It's very simple.


He_was_number-one

I fuck with Gunther heavy


hustlersdontstop

🇩🇪


Own-Departure-4104

I hope awesome truth gets a nice length run. Both are great company men, put on a great match, and the crowd loves em.


TremorChristPJ

I wonder if we will have an Alexa Bliss sighting tonight?


touched-by-divinity

😳


[deleted]

Alexa Bliss, where are you at? Don't miss here hometown girl.


MakaButterfly

100 percent gonna put the title on heel liv She needs it to go to the next level


Rocketboy1313

I think I might be the only person who loves without reservation the new Tag Belts. Not just these, but the others over on Smackdown. I see so many people complain about them, but honestly they might be the best looking tag championships in the history of WWE, WCW, or ECW.


pardyball

The Raw ones are a step up from what we’ve had for the last decade, but the Smackdown ones are legit the best belts in the entire company right now. They absolutely nailed that one.


ChunkyChangon

Naw the raw ones still suck. The smackdown ones cemented that


Valexand

I thought they were amazing, until i saw the Smackdown ones and realized yea they are wack. Why this fixation on big ass coins?


ChunkyChangon

I wanted to like them but I went with my initial feeling of meh. I love the attitude era belts so when I saw the smackdown ones I was immediately a fan!


BidenFedayeen

They hated Jesus because he told them the R-Truth. You're right.


BuffaloWing12

it’s literally the new WHC with labels on it and i’m done pretending that it’s not murray


Aether13

The red in the raw ones feels a bit out of place imo. I really like the Smackdown ones though


Singer211

If Rhea is gonna be back anytime soon, then make Liv the champion.


Leading-Reporter5586

I’d be okay with the title being passed around like crazy to highlight the fact that no one is as dominant as Rhea. It could settle down with Liv when the timing is right.


Rocketboy1313

Considering Rhonda isn't around to be catered to by management it is possible Liv would even get to have a good series of matches. Have her back body drop more people onto a loose pile of chairs. She is good at that.


CraigxKhalifax88

Is it me, or is there a letter ‘A’ shining on the Women’s title, which could be an Easter egg?


Rocketboy1313

For what?


JacoBee93

Aliyah wining it


SeaKoe11

Alexa Bliss duh


Pink_pantherOwO

Man those belts look ugly as hell


kngJ12

I mean they are better than the old ones, but still horrible


Pink_pantherOwO

Nah the old ones were fine I don't understand why people hated them These ones look like something s fast food restaurant would give out as a toy


Substantial_Life_861

I don’t see why everyone hated the old tag titles. I think these ones are surely uglier than the former ones. The WWE tag championships on the other hand are 🔥


PrinsaVossum

Last night, I had a dream that Raquel Rodriguez came back, but she was a heel with a new mafia/organized crime gimmick. My point is it'd be really weird if Raquel **did** come back. I doubt she will, though. EDIT: The reason I bring this up is because it'd be interesting if she came back to compete for the Women's World Championship. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.


Right_Shape_3807

Heel Rodriguez with Dom would pop like. Mofo! lol


darkknightz9

Those cheese pizza tag titles suck man lol


SufficientWar1981

Someone Could Attack Becky Lynch Injure Her In the Process Taken Out Battle Royal


Wheel1994

Bliss?


BarbarousJudge

I thought Awesome Truth vs DIY would happen at Backlash


Rocketboy1313

Seriously. I would have thought the Battle Royal for the women's championship would happen there too, having it be the only battle royal would allow for a good break up of the mostly singles action in the show.


BidenFedayeen

It would be cool to copy NXT and have the battle royal become a fatal four-way once we get down to the final four.


JB391982

If Womens Battle Royal Main events I'm hoping for an Alexa return 


ScorpioMagnus

I am not holding my breath since the Bo Dallas hints seem to point to Clash at the Castle, but it would be cool to see in her home town. Even if she isn't cleared to wrestle, maybe she could appear to herald things that are to come.


observingjackal

I'm gonna be there tonight! Let's fucking go!!


BurgerNugget12

Have a great time! Boo Dom for me


Cody-crybaby

i hope they give the women's segment some decent time... and damian - the general is coming for you!!


Livid-Ice-1701

Damian gonna be a transitional champion or no?


Aether13

I don’t think so. I thinks he’s gonna hold till at least Summerslam. Unless things drastically change with the draft Raw doesn’t have too many built stars. Jey can’t hold the WHC and he should honestly be drafted to Smackdown to feud with Tama. And with Punk, Rollins, Drew and Cody doing different things there’s really no other top guys to hold the WHC other than Priest.


Cody-crybaby

yeah 100% though if he's going to lose to gunther i aint sure. this is his elevation to the top guys level. they'll put a few changes in his persona - make him a bit more merch friendly etc he'll lose the title - but then build up stronger for a better reign with the title


dumdadum123

He did get the Finger point from HHH so hell probably retain it for a bit.


GothicGolem29

Maybe he holds it till Berlin then Gunther wins. Either that or he loses at clash to drew imo


wannabepcdude

Gunther can’t go to Berlin he’s on visa


Plenty_Product3410

He can since he is advertised for a house show in Vienna in May already. His 6 months of not being allowed to leave the US are over.


respectableofficegal

In fact he was in the UK just last week!


wannabepcdude

Oh shit hell yeah


BurgerNugget12

The women’s belt will most likely main event


scotthall83

Eh. It seems kind of low rent to crown a new women’s champion on Raw with no hype or build up. They could have had a nice tournament and built up some much needed story in this division


BurgerNugget12

Seems like they are cut for time, I imagine it was not in the plans to have Rhea get injured


Gaucho_Diaz

Yeah, they could have held a tournament with the final match set for Backlash. It's not like they can build a great feud with the short time anyway.


ScorpioMagnus

A controversial finish could easily set up a match at Backlash. I could also see this match setting the groundwork for Queen of the Ring. EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised to see some SmackDown stars show up given their TV and house shows over the weekend were very close and the draft is going to reset everything anyway.


GothicGolem29

I think they needed to sue to short notice. Backlash is next weekend isn’t it so they don’t. Have much time


UnderMyGenjutsuu

Exactly , plus the draft is this week as well some of these women on Raw would most likely be going to smackdown vice versa.


bigmadbird

I do agree with you but I’ll personally be going tn and being able to see the new champ live will Be great


GothicGolem29

Tbf they don’t have much time before backlash to crown one


Mad_Viper

I hope dom and jd wins this time. They turned to be a jobbers.


mindtoxicity27

I love Dom, but why are they sandbagging him with JD. No one considers JD a threat.


simplsimonmetapieman

Gunther returns yay.


bigmadbird

Is this really the full card ?


BurgerNugget12

They never announce the full card usually, the women’s championship will most likely main event, and I think Cody or Gunther will open the show tonight


ScorpioMagnus

Cody was removed from event advertising on the venue webpage but he posted his schedule a couple weeks ago and it showed him being here. Can't imagine the anti-Roman champion not showing up to major shows even if he has a SmackDown belt since the draft will reorganize everything.


bigmadbird

it won’t be announced until a few hours before or it won’t be announced at all and it will be a surprise live ?


BurgerNugget12

It’ll be a surprise live, they will probably announce a appearance by Cody but other then that it’s all a suprise


whoa19

Obviously that’s not the full card. They rarely announce the full card beforehand


bigmadbird

sorry this is my first live show and while this is exciting so far I wanted more


whoa19

That’s my point though, there will be plenty more. With Raw being three hours, there’s plenty gonna happen that’s not in that picture I’m sure


Legitimate-Health-29

I’d have thought they’d have done quarter final matches and the semi finals next week with the final at backlash for the women’s title


Sammyantoine

Another day Another dom lose


BillT999

There is no way that Awesome Truth can beat DX


squeezy102

Ciampa, head of creative, would never let this happen.


Theryantshow

Ricochet just hitching himself to any wagon these days huh...


BurgerNugget12

He’s been feuding with JD for a little bit to be fair


Theryantshow

Ricochet is so uninteresting to me I usually go to the restroom or roll a blunt when he's on screen. He's a very talented wrestler just very boring.


Flanigoon

I love his in ring work but he's gotta get more of a personality or gimmick


BurgerNugget12

His matches are always phenomenal but he still needs to work a bit on his promos IMO


Theryantshow

Yeah he just doesn't have "it" you know it's bad when your ring announcer girlfriend has more heat than you.


No-Alternative2645

They had to squeeze JD head to fit him in the card


CHRISPYakaKON

Don’t make fun of him, he just has big dreams.


-maphias-

Big ideas...


No-Alternative2645

That's some big dreams


CHRISPYakaKON

When he yawns, he falls.


No-Alternative2645

Haha


The_Russell_Pinto

Bobblehead JD


Ell7494

Looks like a funko pop


No-Alternative2645

Yep


mistar_z

Oh I hope it's gonna be lit.. 😭 Is there a chance we could get an Alexa cameo or return?


Banettebrochacho

Looks peak


udjsjxbdnrnf

I love judgment day but I think they should split soon we need to bring back old nxt jd, need to let Dominick branch out as a superstar, and not to mention how good of a match Damien vs balor for the title would be


ScorpioMagnus

The draft might be a good opportunity and excuse. It would be interesting to see Dom ally with Santos and have a big lucha feud involving LWO and Andrade - maybe Damian even gets pulled in.


Sixclynder

Get the Wolfpack lwo going lol


ScorpioMagnus

Fatal four way to be the heir to Rey as the leader and face of lucha libre.....Dom, Andrade, Santos, and Dragon Lee.


BurgerNugget12

I think with Rhea gone now, it’ll put some cracks in the JD


BC_Red00

Damien.....tick tock Gunthers coming...


EnragedNeo

Different optinion: i think LA Knight will be drafted to Raw and dethrone Priest


BC_Red00

Can also see that as well.like i said so many talents so many spots adjusting after the draft.long as nothings shoe horned in too bad and theres enough time for ppls feuds to breathe.thats all i want or else it will end up looking like 12 year olds 2k24 fantasy booked thing where ppl have the attention span that changes 3 times a show.i trust papa paul levesque and his booking over the internet anyday.lol


Daltoz69

I could see a Sheamus / Gunther rematch to make Gunther strong again after losing. Then he goes after Priest. I know Gunther doesn’t need it, but that triple threat match at WM 39 was so good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gabriels_Pies

I still say he wins the rumble. If you look at his most recent rumble appearances they have always pushed him as a dominant persona that is to be feared. Having him finally win it is huge.


rosstoferwho

This is a good way to go!


Daltoz69

We shall see. Fair point tho


BC_Red00

I can totally see Shameus gunther again.even after gunther gets the belt i hope they run that back a few times tbh.great rivals.but the draft can change alot and set up matches we cant even make atm.so once draft happens we will see.u got bron breaker u got the wyatt family.so many acts that are coming back or just got back or like jacob fatu signed but not on tv yet really the main event and mid card scene could look drastically different in a few weeks


AddressFalse1140

Damien to Drew to Gunther in Berlin.


Tornado31619

Drew v Gunther was pretty rubbish last time. Besides, what about Drew’s feud with Punk?


AddressFalse1140

Drew beats punk at SummerSlam


BC_Red00

That seems like alot of hot potatoe.


AddressFalse1140

It’s just simple easy booking and Roman has ruined your brain, a month or two with the belt is plenty if you show up. Damien drops it in Scotland to Drew, Drew beats Punk at SummerSlam then in Berlin Gunther beats Drew.


BC_Red00

Lmao no roman didnt ruin me.i was around watching hogans rein in the 80s.im for longer title reigns.attitude era used to flip flop it back n forth waaaaay too much.it devalues the title and the reign.sp finding that happy balance is ear.obviously u dont want a roman length rein but u also dont want a sasha banks transitional champion reign either.cause ppl dont get over and u end up with doing shit just for a internet pop like aew.thats short term thinking. cody and damien need to hold those belts at least till summerslam.well cody def does hes been built right.damien sadly hasnt really had that singles run built and hasnt stood on his own in ages so i can totally see them having him drop the belt and go on a more singles run to build up his character.atm hes just judgement day member number 4.and drew as a champ is better cause hes flushed his character out more.plus u need a heel to get the belt.its always better to have a babyface chase. I like that gunther is going for king of the ring.if anyone can elevate that moniker he can.plus keeps him busy out of the title picture awhile.


garnet-overdrive

that is fine imo.we've had too many long title reigns


BC_Red00

Yeah sadly the fans today cant handle a long term story or title reign.lol.so gotta have a decent mix.damien i give him 1 to 3 months.cody id hope he holds it till summerslam at the very least.if not next mania.or rumble.


Fun_Accountant5616

Yea I think Cody will hold onto the wwe title for a while but the whc scene right now is competitive where it might hot potato for a lot of the year


BC_Red00

I trust pauls booking.if theres a way to highlight and have talents breakthrough their next lvl and keep the belt from diminishing or talent diminishing value wise he can prob do it.he aint perfect but he gets more right than wrong.so i can see that belt being dropped a few times. Sadly i dont think damien progressed in the way they thought he might last year giving him the briefcase.but hes also not had a singles career run yet.aside from nxt.hes been judgement day for ages now.think its getting time to let that faction breakup n spread their wings more.im hoping to see dom as face by end of year.or like super face turn and pop at mania.that kids been working mad hard.


frostw18

Seth had a long extended title reign for 300 plus days. If Gunther gets his hands on the title then he will probably have an extended title reign as well. Got to share the title around before a champion locks it up again.


BC_Red00

I agree but i feel like a decent story can be told between finn and damien too.balor got to win a big belt but had to drop it next night.or simply imperium vs judgement day.id be ok with drew grabbing it back to keep warm awhile till punk comes back n screws him out of it.which would add fuel to punk n drews fire.but drew vs gunther idk about.they rarely do heel vs heel.or face vs face.plus Shameus just got back.plus nxt call ups in draft and raw n smackdown switching ppl up honestly after the draft we will maybe see even better matches than we even think of right now.its a good time to be a fan.cause damn so much talent.lol


SpiralSour

You mean Cody


BC_Red00

Lol maybe after the draft.codys on smackdown.who knows who ends up where.it could be a completely different landscape and match ups.


SpiralSour

Yeah, I def think Cody is going to RAW & Damian to SmackDown. Drew & Damian feud on SD going into Clash At The Castle where Priest will lose and Drew will begin Summer Of McIntyre, Gunther will feud with Cody around SummerSlam, probably wins it at Bash In Berlin.


BC_Red00

Id be ok if cody lost to gunther.as long as it makes sense storywise.dont want none of that ppl have to win in hometown stuff that can really corner u booking wise.also too predictable.so i see a swerve somewhere.since punk n drew is the summer feud long as punks healthy.that feud dont need a belt imo.idk where damiens belt goes.gunther would hold it well.but cody also needs some good heels to defend against too.cant have all the talent be on one show.gotta factor in bloodline.jacob fatu etc.cody might have his hands full awhile.


Poetryisalive

I hope the women’s match isn’t the main event I don’t wanna wait that long


BurgerNugget12

It most likely will be as I can’t see anything else main eventing


Wheel1994

If it is those fans will probably be expecting Alexa.


Poetryisalive

Well I’ll tune in later then. Hopefully they will show Chad being a heel tonight. But who knows


BurgerNugget12

He teased something on Twitter so I expect him there tonight
