That New Day segment was the best segment in WWE history and no one has been able to convince me otherwise. First time I cried from sadness when watching wrestling. I think Drew McIntyre is going after the OG Bloodline considering he still has beef with them. I'm so glad they didn't just ignore what happened in his feud with Punk and just randomly place him in a filler feud with Wade. His two biggest enemies just teamed up at Survivor Series so now since they're sort of on the same team McIntyre should be more determined than ever to take the Bloodline down.
finally McIntyre is back, raw is gonna get interesting again. Looking forward to where Drew is heading, Drew should definitely win the world title next year.
I think they finna turn Dom baby face too cause he sent jd and calatro back and got in some good hits on Gunther and didn't get completely destroyed like how geekdom said but we'll see
We all wanted Big E to keep Kofi and Woods together. In a weird way he did but just not the way we expected. But loved how they used their frustration and anger aiming it at E.
1:06 Half false. They're doing Saturday Nights Main Event. It is on free TV, but they've spent the better half of a month building it up like a PLE while also building Survivor Series, which just happened.
Not gunna lie i started tearing up seeing that new day angle even though it makes no sense i just wanna hear that big e into one more time for the road
Agreed. It made me sad but it makes no sense. You expect me to believe that these dudes who were at each other's neck for months just made up and turned on someone who was like a brother to them? Trash.
@KDB349 I feel like they had a conversation off-screen. Woods probably convinced Kofi that it wasn't their fault, but it was E's. They knew he'd show up at the anniversary, so they used that to justify what they're about to do going forward.
Last night was a fantastic RAW. Sami, Punk, and Seth killed it with that opening promo, with a lot of building of the future plus great callbacks of the past. Dakota Kai got a big win and feels like she's one of the favorites to win the Women's IC title. Dom looked good against Gunther and we now set up a massive card or Saturday Night Main Event. The New Day stuff was so good. While it wasn't a full break-up it was very impactful and emotional. Big props to all 3 men. I didn't expect them to turn on Big E, removing him from the group and turning heel. I still want to see Kofi and Xavier go their own ways, but this still compiling. I hope Big E is cleared, shows up at the Rumble, and takes out both Xavier and Kofi. Sami vs Seth was a fun match, but it had a flat finish being we just saw a roll-up finish with R-Truth and Pete Dunne, still, they made up for it with the return of DM Hunk himself, Drew.
This was a water cooler RAW. I love that it wasn’t top heavy but every segment had purpose and intrigue, but didn’t give everything away all in one segment. It left you wanting more. Can’t wait for next week.
When Raw goes to Netflix next month, it's not guaranteed to be 3 hours for every single episode since the show will be on a streaming service that isn't that strict with runtimes as cable tv is. Triple H will have Raw be whatever length he feels it should be in order to a make a great show and that could be anywhere between 2-3 hrs. The Raw episodes will not have the same time lengths and will vary from week to week. Going to Netflix also means Raw won't have those awkward cutoffs at the end of the show like what happens sometimes currently on USA since it has to be off air right at 10 ET/9CT no matter what.
Kofi gone full baddy he wore a majin symbol on his necklace. I think Xavier is babidi he persuaded Kofi to turn.😢 I thought it was gonna end up being Xavier heel and Kofi baby face, boy I thought wrong. But I’m excited to see where this newday storyline goes.
You could make the argument that, in lieu of PLEs in December and January, you have two PLE-caliber cards in Saturday Night's Main Event on December 14 and the RAW Debut on Netflix on January 6. Those two cards are effectively PLEs without being actual PLEs, but it's still rare to see no official PLEs between Survivor Series and Royal Rumble. With that said, that was one of the better Raw episodes of the year. I know Seth Rollins alluded to his past history with Sami Zayn, but thanks for explaining it for those of us who've been semi-casual wrestling fans who were unfamiliar with that part of the story at 3:54. And you're spot on about Maxwell Jagoff Fraudman... the dude is so stale, he's nothing more than an AEW version of The Miz (only with less charisma).
So I'm clearly in the minority but I didn't like that new day segment at all. If it feels like a swerve just for the sake of it. I would have greatly preferred Woods just going heel solo and then having feud with Kofi. I mean I felt bad for Big E but eh... Also I feel like it's more likely that Dominik is turning face. He was even getting cheered last night. Dominik never gets cheered. And honestly? I prefer 3 hours compared to 2.
What you just said about AEW It's kind of ironic because they don't have good TV ratings. They have a whole lot of 5 star matches, but the product itself is not captivating to maintain a large audience. I barely watch a e w but from what I understand they get Do it 15000 seat arena and only barely filling 2000.
If it's revealed that Drew McIntyre who jumped Jey Uso, then that was one hell of a swerve by WWE. The entire Punk-Seth-Sami-Drew dynamic has some potential to outdo Drew-Punk, and that's saying something. And that was amazing "heel-ish" tactics by Seth to steal a win over Sami in the main event. It was refreshing to see a main event finish with something other than a spot-fest or (gasp) a DQ; good old fashioned psyching out the opponent.
Thanks Geekdom! I was hoping you would do a review of Raw! I feel like asking this question isn't really necessary, but I'll ask anyway. Who does everyone think has been a better booker this year: Tony Khan or Triple H?
I think the feud between Drew and Sami and Jey will be temporary. I think the end goal is Drew vs Solo. There is established beef between the two from clash at the castle 2022 where Solo made his main roster debut screwing Drew over.
8:34 Throughout the show, I had a sneaking suspicion that it was true, Macintyre. He hasn't been in a current storylines after his fued with CM Punk was wrapped up, but he is a scottish psychopath. He hates everyone that's in the bloodline, CM Punk and Seth Rollins.
Never mind the two decades of two hour RAWs that were classics before the three hour change in 2012. I swear half of today's fans grew up in the 3 hour PG era
We are officially in Wrestlemania Preseason!
Right as i was rewatching clips you drop lol. Trips cooking right now. This road to wrestlemania gone be one for the books

In regards to the new day angle: Its as the Rock says "pure cinema..."

The real number one guy on Raw is back.
One of the best episodes of Raw this year.

It was like a movie 🍿🎥 10/10
It’s a Sad Day, yes it is.
🥺
Not gunna lie i started tearing up seeing that new day angle even though it makes no sense i just wanna hear that big e into one more time for the road
I shed some tears too, man. Couldn't believe they just flipped on E like that.
it makes sense
Agreed. It made me sad but it makes no sense. You expect me to believe that these dudes who were at each other's neck for months just made up and turned on someone who was like a brother to them? Trash.
@@KDB349if the common issue is big E then it makes sense
@KDB349 I feel like they had a conversation off-screen. Woods probably convinced Kofi that it wasn't their fault, but it was E's. They knew he'd show up at the anniversary, so they used that to justify what they're about to do going forward.
Could this lead to an alliance of drew and Seth

Anyone notice that Dominik was getting cheered by fans
They did not have a December PLE last year either. They went straight from Survivor Series to the Royal Rumble.
More time to build
Dirty Dom got cheered 😮
Dom was getting cheered I think he will turn face on Judgement Day or they just kick out Finn😂

Am I tripping or didn’t Dom get cheered especially when he started chopping Gunther
Kofi gone full baddy he wore a majin symbol on his necklace. I think Xavier is babidi he persuaded Kofi to turn.😢 I thought it was gonna end up being Xavier heel and Kofi baby face, boy I thought wrong. But I’m excited to see where this newday storyline goes.
Hot take but I would actually have Gunther drop the title to Seth so that punk and Seth can happen for the title.
Hell no lol
@@Trap_senpai_Hell yes, Gunther is boring.
@ajkobra1993 just like your mother
If there's a feud that doesn't need a title, it's this one for sure.
@@MegaShingo97 unless Gunther is gonna face Cena at mania for the title than who’s he gonna face ?
It’s funny, you’re saying they had him beat up Dom to get ppl to cheer him, but they were cheering dom for a min last night 😂
That double 619 and splash combo had people going in for Dom
Never thought they could make new day relevant again but damn that was awesome
man seeing big e break down was so heart crushing sad
There is a December pay-per-view for NXT deadline just for the NXT roster there is no ppv for the main roster until the Royal rumble
Just BREAK THE NEW DAY Already
WWE IS NEXT LEVEL
The rumble is gon be so legendary, triple h taking two months to book it
The fact that I hated the New Day swerve tells me how good it was, turning heel on Big E was not expected and has serious heat
Excellent episode of raw

That new day segment was heartbreaking.
Saturday nights main event is supposed to be a ple level show I think.

They have a whole lot of 5 star matches, but the product itself is not captivating to maintain a large audience. I barely watch a e w but from what I understand they get Do it 15000 seat arena and only barely filling 2000.
Raw was awesome 😎 last night yo
I dont think the Kofi turn makes sense but still a great moment
I wasn't expecting the new day to turn on big e
Storytelling . That’s pro-wrestling.
The aew diehards are not gonna like that
Seth hit Roman with the chair for his own gain Sami did it to save Kevin Owens Seth was acting like Sami hitting Roman was the same when he did it
I know wwe back because it was on half of the TV's at bbw last night had mnf playing the other half had Monday night raw on

It was refreshing to see a main event finish with something other than a spot-fest or (gasp) a DQ; good old fashioned psyching out the opponent.
these next couple months without a ppv is going to have lots of build up. next week should be great as well.
Thanks Geekdom! I was hoping you would do a review of Raw! I feel like asking this question isn't really necessary, but I'll ask anyway. Who does everyone think has been a better booker this year: Tony Khan or Triple H?
I find it strange Kevin Owens hasn't came after Sami yet.
I think the feud between Drew and Sami and Jey will be temporary. I think the end goal is Drew vs Solo. There is established beef between the two from clash at the castle 2022 where Solo made his main roster debut screwing Drew over.
Poor Big E

I hope they go back to the Scottish Psycho. Scottish Warrior was so generic
Drew and Rollins teaming up ?
Saturday Night Main Event Us December PLE
Can you please do a review on the show HEELS
2 hour shows are a breeze
👍
Ngl I didn’t like it when it stopped spinning on tv
You love 2 hour Raws? Bro that was the first good one since they went 2 hours
Never mind the two decades of two hour RAWs that were classics before the three hour change in 2012. I swear half of today's fans grew up in the 3 hour PG era
