Oof, Raw felt pretty dry this week. Heymans promo pretty much tells us we wont be seeing Brock or even probably hearing about Brock until he cashes in for real - they're pretty good at not mentioning his existence when they want to.
They didn't even show match footage from the main event on Friday, at least not on Hulu Raw. Not even still images lol.

Moving Gable to 205 might be the best thing they've ever done for him. I legit feel bad for American Alpha cause they were a solid tag team, but splitting them up damaged their status.

Jordan became Angle's son and still couldn't get over, in spite of having good matches with Cena and Reigns before a neck injury sidelined him forever.

Gable just floundered even further in the tag division forming teams with Shelton and Roode, neither of which were truly over with the crowd.

I guess Stephanie McMahon had a big rallying speech at NXT recently.

She tried to convince everyone how great it is to be in WWE and that they can create their own brand and flourish there!

And then showed slideshows of Forbes saying that WrestleMania was the most hashtagged event on Twitter, so WWE is doing better than ever.

Outstanding.

You can never create your own brand while Vince still calls the shots.

Dave says they actually do this a lot for both NXT and the main roster, it just got out this time

The goal is to convince (brainwash) people that if you leave WWE your career is dead

Curious what the results were for Greatest Royal Rumble and Best In The World (or whatever that other one was called). Maybe MitB too.

Would be a good control for how much is the show sucking and how much is people being more willing to say the show sucks cause of political stuff

Highest match ratings this week

*****
Ospreay vs Dragon Lee

****1/2
Hijo del Vikingo vs Laredo Kid

****1/4
Takagi vs Kojima
Okada vs Jericho

****
Ishii vs Taichi

He refused to give an official rating to Naito vs Ibushi because of how irresponsibly unsafe it was

Big hype for that AAA match!

Wow people liked MitB huh. I felt like in here people bashed the hell out of it.

So yeah, I dunno. Crown Jewel, while not a good show by any stretch, does have me raising an eyebrow. Was probably slightly better than 12% thumbs up compared to other shows that got that.

Still one of the all time worst shows doesn't seem too out of the question even if you curve it a bit.

Yeah as long as you have a top tier where there are actual stars those stars can trade wins all day

The problem with 50/50 booking is when it permeates all rungs of the card and no one gets elevated ever. Sometimes your top guys have to lose though.

She came out to a cool new look in tonight's set of tapings, too. Given how we already have Kairi and Asuka as babyfaces, I think having a japanese woman as a heel should be a good change.

Also, in the second night of tapings Apollo Crews returned for a match and Killian Dain appears to have lost a lot of weight.
