Ngl, this plot twist could be interesting...
 
Double post, sorry...

By how long are Nattie AND TAMINA are going to be buried and by how long are Nia and Shayna going to be champs... :banghead::banghead:

So far, night 1 is destroying night 2 by far!!
 
Night 1 reaction - This is rather good, perhaps it’s time to give the main roster stuff another shot!

Night 2 reaction (so far) - Maybe not
 
The first WM I watched was 26, I should go back and watch the older ones if Peacock has them.

So last night's show then.

That was a really weird start wasn't it?!, The Fiend's entrance was great and his new look/mask was fantastic, the match itself was OK but didn't get out of first gear and the finish was pretty confusing, seems like Alexa turned on Fiend but why would she do that when she has been willing him back for months?!, Also was she supposed to be Sister Abigail?! Quite strange and the fans didn't like it at all, bad start to the show.

Its didn't get much better with that tag match either, match was Okay but the whole thing felt strange for whatever reason and I think everyone was pulling for a Natalya/Tamina win so the finish was a bit disappointing, KO v Zayn was when the show really got going, a great match as expected and KO stunning Paul was obviously good and he sold it really well to be fair! Sheamus v Riddle was a great match too and that Brogue kick was superb, Sheamus deserves the title.

Nigerian drum fight was interesting considering there were no actual drums used! it was a good fight/match, I'm happy with Apollo being new champ and Dabba-Kato being introduced adds a new dynamic, Asuka v Ripley was really good but never hits the heights for me, I'm happy for Rhea though and she has now held the NXT UK women's title, the NXT women's title and now the Raw women's title and she still only 24! She had a great entrance too.

Universal title match was my match of the night by far, had so many twits and turns and had great storytelling and emotion, it was also chaotic and quite violent! I was rooting for an Edge win so having Reigns win was kind of a downer for me but it was still a great match.

Night one was better than last night IMO, over 51,000 attended over the two nights.
 
Changes to Raw commentary team from tonight.

Cory Graves, Bryon Saxton and newbie Adnan Virk will be the voices, Tom Philips moves to 205 live and will still be a senior manager, in-ring comeback for Samoa Joe incoming!
 
You know, I was going to ask where the WWE Thunderdome would go to when the Tampa Bay Rays get back to baseball. After doing reading online, I learned the Thunderdome would move from the boring Tropicana Field to the Yuengming Center on the campus of the University of South Florida. Tropicana Field seemed like a very big place to host WWE action. Yuengming Center seems rather condensed, but still a very nice facility.

Also, there was a name doing commentary for RAW that I heard of before- Adnan Virk! I remember A. Virk from his ESPN days.
 
I like one guy's YouTube comment on that segment. That The Fiend created something so powerful that even he can't control it. Could "Lilly" be a returning Nikki Cross? Probably not, but it would be interesting.

Raw was Okay last night but for a Raw after Mania its was pretty tame, no NXT call ups but Viking Raiders and Charlotte Flair returned, Maryse was there to but only to promote the new series of Miz and Mrs.

Drew McIntyre will face Bobby Lashley at Wrestlemania Backlash (that's what they are calling it now!) for the WWE title again after beating Randy Orton and Braun Strowman in the triple threat main event.

Not much else to mention but the was the first Firefly Funhouse for a few months, new champs Sheamus, AJ Styles and Omos weren't on the show, There were in a new Thunderdome with more virtual fans which made the stage a bit smaller.
 
NXT moved to Tuesdays this week, only just seen the show today.

Kushida won the Cruiserweight title after Escobar put out an open challenge, it was a really good match. Franky Monet (Taya Valakrie) debuted to give a promo to new champ Raquel Gonzalez, Belair and Ripley also appeared to have a cool in ring moment with Gonzalez of the three of them holding their titles.

Roddy Strong gave Regal a brown envelope and said he was done, could he be moving either Raw or Smackdown?! They had new TV graphics but nothing else has changed.
 
Seems like WWE likes to have a clear out of talent on April 15th as Billie Kay, Mickie James, Chelsea Green, Tucker, Kalisto and Wesley Blake have all been released. I wonder if they will add more to that list

Samoa Joe and Bo Dallas join the list so far. Something tells me that there will be more to come.

Dra. Polo is me after the news...

two things:

1. Doing this really after WM, and after seeing the new Thunderdome design was a really bad idea since it makes WWE look like they prefer to pay scenography more than its wrestlers.

2. Breaking heavy machinery after Otis' happy ending with Mandy was one of the worst ideas of 2020, especially after seeing how they treated Tucky after it. The same as double goes for the IIconics for being the underdog champs at last year's WM. Samoa Joe deserved more than just being the heel commentator (I mean, he's a wrestler too, right)??

Honestly, AEW has its flaws, yes, but at least knows how to move its rooster way better, hopefully, they go there like most of the rejected-but-with-a-potential rooster...

Also, if WWE continues to do this... well, make NXT then a REAL brand and not just the final stair to the main rooster, IDC how many times WWE promotes it like that, its never going to feel like a real brand if they don't start doing it on the Thunderdome, giving it more international TV contracts, or make it part of the main PPVs like in Survivor Series 2019...
